Uhl family living in Crawford Co. from late 1830's until at least 1870's
Searching for any info on the Uhl family living in Crawford County from at least the late 1830's until the late 1870's. Here is what I know:
John Henry Uhl b. in Germany married Elizabeth Linn and they had at least one child - John Jr. b. 1839 in Crawford County, OH. John Jr. married Margaret Rank b. abt 1838 also in Ohio. John Jr and Margaret were living in Lykens, Crawford County, in the 1860 census (this census shows that John Jr and Margaret were "married within the year). I cannot find the John Sr family in the 1850 census.
John Jr and Margaret had at least 7 children...with 6 of those born in Ohio...most likely in either Lykens or Holmes townships, Crawford County. I don't know when the family moved from Lykens to Holmes Township. The family moved to Indiana between 1877 and 1879. In the 1880 Indiana census, John's mother, Elizabeth, age 77, is living with them, however, her last name is NOT Uhl...it is Sheffer (the spelling may not be correct)...so she must have remarried at some time.
I would appreciate any and all help on this family. I can provide the names and ages of the children of the John Jr family, if necessary...but I got the information from census records - so it may not be completely accurate.
Thank you very much for your help!!!
