Mercer Co resources

ehoening1 — 4 Aug 2008 2:05:20 GMT

Hello all,

My husband and I will be traveling to Mercer Co in late Aug to attempt some research into his parents and the Hoening and Eifert families. They lived and died in the St Mary's, Coldwater and Wendelin areas. His great grand father is burind at St Wendelin's cemetery. Can any one provide some guidance to some of the local resources? What church records, cemetery records or court house documents that might be available to review. We will be there Aug 28 and 29th.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I am wondering is anybody else is having trouble with the format of this message board. On my PC the date of the last post is covered by an ad. I read several other boards on Rootsweb and this problem does not occur with them.

I am using Windows XP and the following browsers IE7, Firefox 3 & Seamonkey 1.1.10 and all display this board and only this board incorrectly in my opinion.

Landon, Ellis from Mercer to Paulding Co.

Kim — 26 Nov 2000 12:00:00 GMT

Zora Jane Landon(my g-g-g-grandma) was born in Mercer County and married William H. Ellis in Mercer County before they both set off for Paulding County Ohio. I think William's dad was Johnathan (he had 4 wives). but I have no idea what happened to Johnathan and his wives. I think Zorah had a sister Hannah who also married a Ellis. I have a old family photo that has Ellis family written on the back. Curious to know who they all were!
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

WALKER

OsageWalker1 — 18 Apr 2008 2:39:08 GMT

Hi-
Can anyone help with my Walker 'problem'...Alexander Walker was born in VA 1812 (place unknown), father allegedly James Walker who allegedly was in the War of 1812. Alexander shows up in Miami Co. OH marrying Catherine Shepherd in 1833, and in federal censuses for Mercer and Darke Counties OH (same location, boundary changed) in 1840 and 1850.
In 1856 the family moved to St. Clair Co. MO, where I have found quite a lot of info for him and descendants. He died there while probate judge in 1876.

Children of Alexander and Catherine WALKER are:
John N., b. 1834, married Mary Riegel in OH, d. in MO in 1914.
Hannah M., b. 1836, married Henry Denney in OH & died in MO in 1861.
James M., b. 1838, married Elizabeth Conner in MO, died in MO in 1863.
David, b. 1842, married Frances E. Kellerman in MO, died in MO 1917.
Nemiah (or Nehemiah) b. 1844, no marriage found, died in MO 1861
Jeremiah, b. 1848, married Eliza Jane Lee in MO, lived in Pettis Co. MO, died in 1926
Nancy Olive Jane, b. 1851, married John M. Francis in MO, died in 1931 in MO.
Francis G., b. 1857, died before 1870 in MO
Amanda Elizabeth ('Libbie') b. 1859, married Joseph H. Smith in MO, died in 1944 in KS.

Although I find James Walkers in the Mercer/Darke Co. OH censuses I can't tie them together.

Yes, I am trying to get DNA testing lined up but it will take awhile as I must rely on a very distant branch of the family that isn't very keen on the idea, so I keep trying....

Has anyone any Walkers that might be related at all?
Thanks...

Has anyone heard of Berlin's Siegallee park

Dan Meyer — 14 Apr 2001 12:00:00 GMT

I am looking for information on a park in Germany called Siegellee. There were 32 German statues in this park. It was created by artish Andreas Schluter. The park has a statue of an ancestor of mine named the Mayor of Wilde. He served in Berlin in 1380. His statue was located right next to the statue of King Friederich Wilhelm I in this park. The park no longer exist but the statues do. I do not know were they are located though. If anyone has heard off this park or has any information on the Mayor of Wilde who served in Berlin in 1380, Please let me know. This has been like searching for a needle in a hay stack. My German records on the Wilde family say he was famous. He was not famous enough to have any internet searches bring up his name and I found only one hit on the internet that meantioned the park called Siegellee. It had a picture of a statue of Kaiser Wilhelm and a bust of someone else but that is all I got. That picture was taken in 1905. The Siegellee was located in the park in Berlin called the Tiergarten. Most of the 32 statues were of German princes who played a roll in uniting Prussia. The Mayor of Wilde held an early roll in uniting Prussia. This earned him a statue next to King Friedrick Wilhelm I. The Siegellee must have been destroyed during world war I or world war II. If any one has any information on the sculpter named Andreas Schluter I would also be interested.

City Directory

Coil79 — 2 Mar 2008 2:40:40 GMT

Many villages, small towns, and rural communities they served had what became known as a city directory. Does anyone know if Celina, or Mendon, had such a listing of residents during the first half of the nineteenth century? Also, I would like to know if there was a county or state census in between the ten year federal census. I am trying to determine if William Coil and Laney Coil were still married in 1845.

Daniel E King married to Sarah Replogle

jstarbuck — 4 Jan 2008 3:35:22 GMT

I'm searching for information on Daniel E. King for my neighbor's son, Robert King. Daniel would be Robert's great grandfather.

A daughter Ruby who married Ollie Brierly and a son Marion Elsworth King who married Mildred Almonrode.
We're thinking the Elsworth name may be the maiden name of Daniel's mother.

They had a son in Maria Stein, Ohio in 1845. His name was John Brackman. John was orphaned at the age of 12 in 1857. His parents died of Cholera. If anyone has any information on this family as far as who there brothers and sisters were and were they came from or who there parents and cousins were, please let me know at my e-mail address which is danmeyer399@yahoo.com

Jane Ellis of Mercer County, Ohio

broshire — 2 Oct 2007 5:46:01 GMT

Looking for information about a Jane Ellis, born about 1811 in Ohio, who was living in Mercer County from 1850 through 1870. Who was her husband? What was her maiden name? In 1850 she was living in Celina, Mercer County, with daughters Sarah 18, Eliza 11, Margaret 7, and Catherine 4. In 1860 she was living in Jefferson with Henry Myers 26, his wife Anna 21, and baby Mary, 4/12. Daughter Catherine was living next door with the family of Jacob and Caroline Mead. In 1870 Jane was again in Celina with daughters Maggie and Catharine. In 1880 Jane was living with Henry and Anna M. Myers in Hoaglin, Van Wert County, Ohio; in this census she is listed as "mother."

I suspect that the Eliza Ellis in the 1850 census was Eliza H. Ellis who married Aaron Keefer. Aaron and Eliza were living very close to the family of Isaac and Emily Ellis in the 1870 census of Franklin, Mercer County, Ohio.

In 1840 I found only 5 persons surnamed Ellis in Mercer County: Two named John, a Michel, an Oliver, and a William.

Any help appreciated.

I am looking for info on my GG Grandfather James Morrisey.
He worked for thE railroad for 50 yrs. A home was built for them by the railroad when he retired.
He & his wife Bridget went to live in the Mercer County Infirmary where they both died.

Harvey JONES marriage 1887ish

John_Himself — 8 Mar 2006 4:41:19 GMT

Are there marriage records for this period? Who did Harvey marry first ca 1887 and probably in Mercer Co.? Harvey moved to Jay Co., IN where in 1930 he says he was first married 43 years previously; his wife at the time says she was first married 37 years ago in 1893. That 1893 agrees with the 1900 census (Mercer Co.) which showed they'd been married 7 year.

Looking for connection between Agnew Tepe and Alexander J. Tepe

krissier147 — 21 Jan 2007 5:52:12 GMT

Looking for a connection between Agnes Tepe (b. 1858 - Abt. 1885) married to a Frank Bernard (1847-1915) and Alexander J. Tepe (1877 - Abt. 1959). I believe that Alexander J. Tepe is the son of Alexander Tepe (b. 1855) and Rosa Hanhauser (b. 1858 Ohio). Alexander Tepe is brother to Agnes. I am looking for confirmation that the Alex Tepe with Agnes Bernard in the 1880 census is the Alexander J. Tepe (b. 1877).

Also, any information about why this Alexander Tepe changes his name later in life to Albert Tepe.

Any information about any of the people mentioned here would be of great value.

One picture of great interest is of the whole family at the Haslinger family reunion circa 1925. It looks to be John and Elizabeth and all of their children and grandchildren. I don't know who is who with the exception of a handleful of them. My grandmother and her sister are children. If you think you might be able to tel me the names or if you just want to see the picture, email me at Auntris2@aol.com. Thanks,

Can anyone tell me anything about John and Matilda or anything about their ancestors?

Westerheide Naturalization record request

milesmeyer — 28 Sep 2005 8:40:18 GMT

I was wondering if someone could do a look-up for me. I am looking for the following person:

Westerheide, Frank, Mercer County Naturalization Records 1814-1906, Vol. 2, p. 81

I am trying to find a record of his parent's names if possible. I think they were henry & Sophia Westerheide but don't have the evidence yet.

Thanks

Searching for descendants of John and Susannah Custer

Karlene Anderson — 18 Oct 2002 4:49:58 GMT

I am researching any information having to do with the descendants of John and Susannah (Grossnickle) Custer who settled in Dublin Twp. in 1831. They had 5 children, George, Peter, Christina, John and Joseph. My line falls down from Peter. It goes as follows, Peter, Joseph ( resettled w/ wife Sarah Smith in Liberty twp, Van Wert Co.), James, Albert, Elba, Rolland, Me. We are the last of our line, as neither of my brothers had children of their own. I would like to get all the info I can on John and Susannah's descendants.
Thank you.
