The following is excerpted from Note 1440 of "Debolt Connections in Germanna Colony History," under "The Germanna Colonies by John Blankenbaker," retrieved August 17, 2007 from http://www.germanna.net/germanna_notes/1rr.htm:

"I have some information Michael Debolt for which I do not vouch. On 10 Aug 1779, Mary Ann Thomas Debolt (probably the widow of Michael Debolt) married Michael Crisler. In January 1785, the Fayette County Orphan’s Court (in Pennsylvania) appointed Michael Chrisler to be a guardian over the persons and estates of Catherine Debolt, Michael Debolt, Mechlin (?) Debold, and Mary Debold minor children of Michael Debold during their minority. This family later settled in Beaver County, with the exception of Michael Debolt who married Abalona (Apollonia?) Yeager and settled in Fayette County. Catherine married George Mason, Mechlin (Mary Magdalene) married William Eckles, and Mary Ann married Ruel Reed."
