George and Abraham Anway and their daughters Sarah and Amanda in the 19th century

Surnames: Nanny, Anway, Havens, Dygert
Amanda Anway and Sarah Ann Anway both married in Steuben county. On Findagrave, I read that Amanda Anway (Charles) Havens was George Anway's daughter. He appears to be buried in Fremont cemetery. I'd like to know where the information concerning Amanda's parents names on Findagrave came from, whether from the stone, the cemtery books, or elswhere.

Sarah Ann Anway m. Levi Dygert 1844. I suspect she was Abraham's daughter, but would like real information.

Finally, there is also an Eliza Amway (presumably Anway) in Fremont cemetery. I would like to know whether she is dau of George (more likely) or Abraham Anway, both of whom lived in Steuben

The Anway name was made up about 1810, changed from Nanny, so all Anways are my relatives.

Surnames: Anway
Okay, with your kind help, I have Amanda and Eliza as daughters of George and Anna Anway. The census suggests they may have two more daughters b, 1820-1830.

Abraham and Julia Anway appear to have one unidentified daughter b. 1825-1830.

All born in Delaware Co., Ohio, but probably in Steuben at some point. So I still don't know whose daughter Sarah Anway Dygert is. Could be either George or Abraham

Tell the cemetery book editor to correct Amway to Anway:-)
It's a family, not a pyramid scheme. (doulble smiley)

It will take some time to read through Audree Lewis's books, I will see if there are more Anway daughters listed there.
Have you contacted the ibrary in Angola ? Many of Audree Lewis's index cards are there.
