I suspect that the family name was originally Steinmetz.
Luzerne Co., PA, Deed Book #134, p. 62: On June 19, 1869, the heirs of John Stametz, deceased, (widow Susanah, three married daughters, and unmarried daughter Mary, all living in Prairie Twp., Kosciusko Co., Indiana), sell to L. D. Shoemaker of Wilkes-Barre, PA, John’s share of his father's estate in Newport Twp., Luzerne Co., PA, recorded August 2, 1869 (spelling of family names on the deed is very poor and inconsistent).
I had assumed that the unmarried daughter Mary in the above deed had married William W. Andereck on March 3, 1872; had died December 15, 1872; and was buried Palestine Cemetery, Palestine, Kosciusko County, Indiana (Memorial ID 86349619). The owner of that page gives Mary a different set of parents.
John and Susanna appear to be living in in Newport Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the 1825 and 1826 county assessments.
1850 federal census, page 107 (stamped), #119-119, West Connoquenessing Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania (on December 17, 2017, family name indexed as "Stimmett" on familysearch.org):
John Stimmets 49 male Blacksmith all born Pa.
Susanna 49 female
Phoebe 22 female
Margaret 20 female
Milton 11 male
Louisa 8 male
Mary 6 female
Letter written by Abner George Klees (1843-1930, Memorial ID 105420497) to his brother James Alfred Klees (1851-1930, Memorial ID 120430606), dated January 27, 1920 (preserving original spelling and punctuation):
"Father had four sisters But I dont know any of their names one of them married a man that settled in the State of Indiana but I do not know their names"
The original letter is in my possession.
