I can give you a referral that may help.

Your line seems Quaker and there are several descendants of the sons of Thomas Hutton of Ireland who have participated in the Hutton YDNA project. In the book by Edward L Hutton, THE HUTTONS OF SOUTHERN INDIANA 1700-2000, ther is a reference to a Levi Hutton born 1804 who is the son of John Hutton and Rebecca McGrew.

You might want to look at the www.huttondna.com site which has some genealogies. It would be good for you to participate in the YDNA project. That will prove your Quaker lineage.

My mother, Thelma (SANDERS) Hutton was born 1927 in
Mammoth Cave, Kentucky.

My grandfather was ANDREW ITHERMER HUTTON, born June 6, 1883 in SIdney, ILL and died Dec. 13, 1963 in Sacramento, CA. He married MABLE AGNES MCCURNES
on May 20, 1905 in Urbana, Ill.

My great-grandfather was JACOB HUTTON, born Jan. 28, 1864 in Sidney, Ill. He died Feb. 17, 1915 in Urbana, Ill.
He married MARY M. MCWETHY abt. 1882. She
was a daughter of JOHN MCWETHY and SARAH HAMILTON.

On JACOBS death certificate, his father is listed as JURD HUTTON, born in Ohio. Jacob's mother is listed as LYDIA RUDESEL (sp?), also born in Ohio.

Jacob Hutton's father is Jordan Hutton, b. 1827.

Jordan's father is Levi Hutton b. about 1802.

Trying to confirm Levi Hutton's father, who we think is John Hutton. Any info you have would be appreciated.

Have other info on Hutton's, Ladd's.

Then I am stuck. If you have any other connections or maybe steer me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

Asahel Hutton was born 1791 in Pennsylvania. He goes backward to the Pennsylvania Quaker Charles Hutton's from Ireland.

Asahel has a son, William, born in Ohio between 1825-27. William Hutton marries Rachel Moore in Knox County IN.
William has a son, Levi (and other children) and he and the sons at least move to AR. This is my line.

Back to Ohio William. He has several children, the two oldest born in Knox Co., In so William did not hang out in Ohio for long.

I’m not related to any member of this family.

1940 is the last available census at this time.

This is your problem -

Facts you should know about the early census records -
All census records [1790 – 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female.

NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county; however some census takers listed the township
NO street address was stated
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, or divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]

1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.

Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
Adopted children are not enumerated as “adopted”
Grand children are not enumerated as “grand children”
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"

1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members

1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces and family relationships +++

Jacob BAUER of Clark Co., Ohio

peters_william — 2012-11-01 16:50:52Z

I am looking to connect with any descendants of Jacob B BAUER (b Aug 1849, Germany). His wife was Catherine (or Catherina) STEINMAN (~1850, Germany). The couple and their ten children lived in or around Springfield, Clark County, Ohio. He passed away in December of 1932.

Children:
Charles, ~1873
Eve, ~1875
Agnes, ~1877
George, ~1880
Herman, ~1883
Henry, ~1886
Otto, ~1887
Catharina, ~1891
Adam E., ~1881

Catherina BAUER married William D SKINNER (~1891, Ohio) and had a daughter Elizabeth (~1919, Ohio), and five sons, Richard E, Roger W, Harold R, Paul W, and James V, all between 1920-1930.

Adam BAUER married Hettie Lucile STROWBRIDGE (1887, Ohio), and had four children, Marie Catherine (~1915), Sarah Louise (~1908), Edward (~1911), and Paul (~1912).

Marie Catherine married Wilfred Aaron PETERS (1912, Ohio) and had three children William E, Mary Louise, and Richard and raised their family in Clark County, Ohio.

Marie and Wilfred are my great-grandparents.

PETERS in South Charleston, Clark County

peters_william — 2012-10-19 21:12:38Z

I am looking for any family members connected to this branch of the Peters family tree. I have some information tracing this lineage back to the early 1700's in Pennsylvania and Maryland, but I need some more concrete evidence before I can be 100% certain. Any help you can provide would be appreciated!

/*1st GENERATION*/ Samuel J PETERS (b 1820 OH) m. Nancy WEAVER (b 1826, VA). Three children Oliver K (1846), Melvin (1847), and Charles B (1848). The family resided in South Charleston, Clark County, Ohio.

/**2**/ Oliver K m. Susan WAY (b. 1848, OH) and had five children; Charles B, Mary H, Arthur W, Samuel, and Sarah A between 1869-1876. Oliver died in Feb. 1876. Sons Charles married Eva CURREY (b 1877, OH), Arthur W married Sarah Belle PARKER (b 1870 OH), and daughter Mary H married Owen L CORNWELL. I am not sure if Samuel or Sarah ever married? The family was raised South Charleston.

/***3***/ Arthur Way PETERS and Sarah Belle PARKER had six children between 1895-1915; Flora, Lillian, James Baxter, Charles, Wilfred A and Arthur W, all of South Charleston. Flora married Russell SAYLOR (b 1893, OH), James Baxter married Hazel M SWYERS (b 1909, OH), and Wilfred married Marie C BAUER (b 1915 OH).

/****4****/ Wilfred Aaron PETERS and Marie C BAUER had three children, William E (b 1933, OH), Mary Louise (b 1936, OH, and Richard (b 1937, OH), in South Charleston, Ohio. William E moved to Washington state and married Barbara STURM (b 1935, Aberdeen, WA), Mary Louise married (?) NIBERT and resides in Ohio. I am unsure if Richard married and/or had children, but still resides in Ohio. Wilfred died in August of 1965.

/*****5*****/ William Edwin PETERS and Barbara Jean STURM married in 1953 in Aberdeen, Grays Harbor Co., WA. They have four children William D (1955), Donald (1957), Jeffrey (1958), and Stefani (1962).

Larry Davis Sr.

Contribution — 2012-10-05 13:46:23Z

On September 27, 2012 at 11:32 PM, Larry D. Davis, Sr., 57, left this life.

He courageously served our country as a Navy seaman.
He worked various jobs with Morris Bean, White Motors, and Neher Burial Vault among others.
If he wasn't enjoying his wife's cooking, he was enjoying his favorite football team, movie, music and joke. He taught us and he made us laugh.
He left everyone with a story to tell.
To know Larry is to know he loved life and especially his wife of 23 years Maria (Freeman) Davis.
His life will be celebrated by many, including, his daughters Shaunda (Davis) (Alfonso) Agee, Rhonda (Davis) Scott, Latoya Davis, Larryah Davis, Mayah Davis, sons Larry Davis, Jr., Christopher Freeman, his amazing sister Connie (Davis) (Bobbie) Mixon, proud brother Charles (Lynn) Davis, spirited brother-in-law Kenneth (Mary) Gossett, his six beautiful grandchildren, and a host of special nieces and nephews like Rhonda (Davis) (Dwayne) Hendrickson, Cynthia and Jeffery Davis, Rita (Mixon) Thomas, Bobbie Mixon, Jr., and Patrick Mixon.

Preceded in death by his parents Peace and Julia (Tolliver) Davis, daughter Myranda Davis, sisters Elizabeth (Davis) (John) Smith, Mary (Davis) (Kenneth) Gossett, and brothers-in-law John (Elizabeth) Smith and Bobbie (Connie) Mixon, Sr.

We all know Larry never met a stranger. Every person he touched will miss him dearly. Let us rejoice that he did it his way.
Going home services will be held Friday, October 5th, 2012 from 6 PM to 8 PM at Porter-Qualls-Dunlap Funeral Home at 823 S. Yellow Springs Street, Springfield, Ohio 45506. Larry's relatives will be visiting with family and friends at 510 Hazelbrook Avenue thereafter.

Re: Benjamin Michael / Elizabeth Edmiston

MLS919 — 2012-08-26 14:40:52Z

** I am not related to this family.

There are three family trees at ancestry.com that show the following information:

Elizabeth Ann Edmiston
Birth: Abt 1814 TN
Death: 1880 - OH
Marriage: 12 Sep 1837 - Clark, Ohio, USA
Spouse: Benjamin Michaels (1811 VA – 1888 OH)

Children:
Seth Michaels 1839 –
George Michaels 1841 –
Clark Michaels 1846 – 1917
Joseph N. Michaels 1850 –
Margaret A. Michaels 1850 –
Sarah Charlotte Michaels 1855 – 1924
William Michaels 1867 –
David Michaels 1869 –

One tree gives the following information for Elizabeth's parents:

Father: William Edmiston - 1790 TN
Mother: Sarah

The other two trees give William Edmiston, b. 1832 TN and
Sarah E. Hale, b. 1834, but those birth years have to be incorrect. They can't be born AFTER Elizabeth.

This may give you something to start with.

Corns Family Obituaries Request

smaxim55 — 2012-08-21 04:48:46Z

Hi,

I'm in need of 3 obituaries. I would be very thankful if someone could help me in this quest.

Joseph Cleveland Corns: born 9 May 1910, in Nipgen, Ohio and died 12 Aug 1964, Springfield, Ohio

Ruth Taylor Corns: born 7 Feb 1922, in Ohio and died 10 Dec 1972, Springfield, Ohio

Michael Allen Corns: born 24 Feb 1958, Clark County, Ohio and died 29 Sep 1973, Dunlow, Wayne Co, West Virginia (obituary in Ohio paper)

At the time of his death, Michael was a Springfield resident and an obituary was printed either in Greenfield or Springfield papers. I'm trying to find out what killed him, why he died in WV and who my 15 year old cousin was living with at the time of his death. There is no information on his death certificate that answers any of the questions.

Thank you.
Sharon

I’m not related to any member of this family.

Facts you should know about the early census records -
All census records [1790 – 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female.

NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county; however some census takers listed the township
NO street address was stated
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, or divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]

1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.

Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
Adopted children are not enumerated as “adopted”
Grand children are not enumerated as “grand children”
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"

1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members

1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces and family relationships +++
