Noted by author Nellie King Daubenspeck, that in 1808 in Luzerne County the name was Daubenspeck. This corresponds with the tradition that in Armstrong County (Clarion) our people settled among the Irish who pronounced the name as though it were spelled Doverspike and these relatives, all in Clarion County have continued this way of spelling to the present day. If one comes across a Doverspike we know he is descended from one of the three brothers who settled in Armstrong County. If one meets a Daubenspeck, he is descended from one of the two brothers who settled in Butler County, PA.
