Zuppinger was the original Swiss version of the surname Supinger.
Roth was the original German version of the surname Rodes, which is also seen as Rhodes.
Christina Neuschwander, wife of Jacob Rodes (Roth), settled around Middletown, VA in the 1770s.
The Stauffer family was a branch of an extensive Anabaptist family expelled from Canton of
Bern Switzerland in the late 1600s. They lived for several generations in the German Rhineland,
before emigrating to Pennsylvania between about 1717 and 1750s. Christian Stover first appears
in Pennsylvania records in 1719. Richard W. Davis of Provo Utah has done extensive work on the
Stauffers and can get this Anabaptist line back to the late 1400s around Eggiwil in Canton,
Bern, Switzerland.
