MAJOR HUGH KINTNER farmer, P.O. Durham, was born in 
Kintnersville, Bucks county, April 22, 1818.  He is a son of 
Jacob and Sarah Kintner, both natives of this county.  Our 
subject's grandfather was George Kintner, a native of 
Wurtemberg.  The name was formerly spelled "Gintner," and 
the change in spelling has caused some trouble to the 
descendants in legal matters.  Our subject was married in 
December, 1847, to Miss Amanda Rufe, a native of Bucks 
county.  Their children are:  Richard W., William H., Hugh 
R. and Mary E.   Mr. Kintner was for three years recorder of 
deeds, has held the office of school director, and other 
positions of trust and honor.  He is a democrat in politics, 
and a member of the Lutheran church.  The place known s 
Kintnersville, in Nockamixon township, was named after the 
father of the subject of this sketch.  Mr. Kintner is the 
owner of the large farm on which he resides, while his wife 
owns the adjoining farm.
