Adam ADAIR / ADEIR b. abt. 1825-26 GER >> Wayne Co.

lymbo4y — 24 Aug 2008 2:04:43 GMT

I am searching for info on:
ADAM ADEIR
Birth
BET. 1825 - 1826
Germany
Death
25 DEC 1894
Wayne Co., Ohio

Spouse
Francista (1824-1882)
Children
William (-)
Adam A (1851-)
Frances (1855-1890)
Albert (1856-)
Louise (1859-)

I have found them in the 1850 (Darn or Dean), 1860 & 1870 census. I also have a photo of Francista's tombstone (Wooster cemetery). This family is of German descent, not Irish as another family in Wooster is. I cannot find them in the 1880 or 1900+. Nor have I found Wills or land deeds. I looked on familysearch.org for a marriage record to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hughes Family - Burials/Death Records, early 1860s

kkendall75 — 3 Aug 2008 8:13:14 GMT

Is there any comprehensive list of graves/burials in Wayne County?

I'm looking for death records or burial records for the following people in Wayne Co., most likely in Baughman Twp.:

George Hughes, about 35-40 years old, d. 1860-61
Argale Hughes, aged six to nine, d. 1860-1865
Wesley Hughes, aged six to nine, d. 1860-1865

George married Christian(n) Bender on 5 June 1849 in Wayne Co., Ohio. Argale and Wesley were their sons. They are all living in the 1860 census in Baughman Twp. By late 1861 Christiann had remarried Peter Shively and was living in Michigan, then Wisconsin, and finally settled in Illinois.

Christiann spoke of the boys often to her children of her second marriage and my grandmother had their picture on the wall. Even today we talk about Galey and Wesley.

Christiann, born in Ohio, was the daughter of Henry Bender and Susanna Moll.

Anderson Family

CarolynShadd32 — 27 Apr 2008 2:29:53 GMT

Just a long shot. Did any of your Anderson's marry a Smith. My family was from Canaan Twp. also. Smith's are so hard to find. I lived in Burbank for some time. I believe there were some Anderson's there living at the time.You might want to try and get in touch with the Burbank cemetery to see if you have family there. Burbank, Ohio is just a few miles from Canaan and chester.

Not related. Just a long shot.

Family Burial Practices ca 1840??

shaytala — 11 Feb 2008 5:48:42 GMT

Adriel and Peletiah WARREN ca 1840

Found Pelitah (Peletiah Warren) in 1840 census for Wayne Co.
with elderly father in HH.
No record of either one found in 1850 anywhere and no record of either Warren being buried in Wayne County.

My question is: Adriel and Peletiah both had originated out of Maine and lived many years in New York. Did families send their departed back to other areas or bury them in the locale they were in?

Any suggestions appreciated about this search!!

Erving Strole born Oct 1893 Obituary

wilfred57 — 3 Feb 2008 3:47:49 GMT

Erving Strole was living in Doylestown, Ohio when his father Samuel Strole died in 1944. So, possibly he died in Doylestown and there would be an obituary. If your library has a system like ours you can just put in the name and it will tell you when there were any newspaper articles about that person. I believe his wife's name was Esther. I would also appreciate any other information available about Erving or his family.

Van Vleet

judy_vanvleet — 1 Feb 2008 6:38:26 GMT

I know this is a ridiculous request. I am searching for a death record for a woman whose name I don’t know. Her husband was Benjamin Van Vleet. She was alive when the 1840 census was taken in Lafayette, Medina Co., OH. She was between the ages of 40 & 50. Her husband remarries in Wayne Co on May 19, 1842. Her husband’s parents were Benjamin and Hannah Van Vleet who are buried in Crush Cemetery in Lafayette. I don’t know her first name and the last name of Van Vleet seems to get misspelled incorrectly more than it does correctly. In the 1840 Census it is spelled Vanvllet. In the 1850 Census it is spelled Vleet. When Benjamin remarries his name is shown as Van Rute. So does anyone have any suggestions how I can find the death of a woman with Van or Vleet in her name who died in either Medina or Wayne Co., OH between 1840 and May of 1842?
I know – I admitted it was ridiculous.
I’d love any suggestions from anyone.
Judy

Benjamin and/or Jacob Van Vleet

judy_vanvleet — 28 Jan 2008 8:47:58 GMT

I am searching for information on Benjamin and/or Jacob Van Vleet. The last name also gets spelled Vanvleet, Vanvliet, Vanfleet, Vleet, etc.
They are in Westfield, Medina Co in the 1830 census. In 1840 they are in Lafayette although one of Benjamin's sons, Gerrit, appears to stay in Westfield.
In the 1850 and 1860 census Benjamin has moved to Wayne Co.
Some time between 1827 and 1842 Benjamin's wife died in either Medina Co or Wayne Co and he married a woman named Sally. Sally died in Wayne Co in 1857. Benjamin died in Wayne Co in 1861.
I am looking for the death of Benjamin's first wife and his marriage to Sally. I am also looking for the graves of the first wife and for Benjamin.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me. I can't believe these people can just disappear!!!
Thanks.

Elizabeth Hoover, 1826-1917 PA and Milton Twp., Wayne Co., OH

Sandi_Hartnell — 8 Dec 2007 12:04:07 GMT

Would like to establish parents and siblings of Elizabeth Hoover, born 1826 in Pennsylvania, married to Henry John Hoffman, probably in Milton Twp., Wayne Co., OH. She died 1917 in Barberton, Summit Co., OH.

Elizabeth had a brother, Christian, born about 1824 in Pennsylvania, found at Elizabeth's residence in the 1880 census. Christian died 09 Apr 1894 in Wayne Co., OH. It was probably he who signed a bond for the Elizabeth's son-in-law, Jeremiah Barnhart, to administer Henry Hoffman's estate along with William Barnhart, Jeremiah's father.

Possible parents: Christian Hoover (about 1785 to 03 Feb 1868) and Mary Martin (about 1801 to sometime ater the 23 Jul 1860 census, Wayne Co., OH). [One World Tree]

Elizabeth may have had a brother Henry, as one is listed as owing a debt to Henry Hoffman in his estate. Also, a Henry Hoover was living next door to the Hoffman family in the 1870 census.

Another possible brother is David, also living in Milton Twp., Wayne Co., in the 1870 census.

Possible sister Mary.

Christoph(er) Huffman m. Elizabeth H. Unknown

gwendowlyn — 10 Dec 2007 9:38:38 GMT

I'm looking for more information on this family. Christopher was born about 1816 in NJ and died b/w 1870-1880 in Indiana (maybe). His wife was born in NJ, 1814 and died 1880-1900 in Indiana (maybe).

They had the following children:
Mary A Huffman b. 1835 in NJ m. Theodore Bradley
Elizabeth Huffman b. 1836 in NJ m. Jonathan Weaver
Henry Huffman b. July 1837 in NJ m. Isabel (unknown)
William Huffman b. 1841 in Ohio
Jacob Huffman b. 1842 in OH
Harriett Huffman b. 1851 OH
Martha Jane Huffman b. 1856 OH
John Huffman May 1857 in OH. m Effie Berrier in Porter Co. IN
Lydia Huffman b. 1858 OH
David Huffman b. June 1859 OH
Melinda Huffman b. 1861 in OH

I believe the family came from NJ, setteled in OH, then moved to Indiana and some sons moved to Nebraska. I have a hunch that Christopher maybe related to my William Huffman. William died in Wayne Co, OH and his family moved to Porter Co. Indiana. Christopher's estate was in probate in Porter Co, IN and his son, Henry, was living with William's widow and daughter in IN in 1880. I suspect Christopher and William are brothers, but I have no evidance.

Wayne County Naturalization Records

BAYSINGER / BASINGER Surname

JeanneCrews27 — 31 Oct 2007 2:42:33 GMT

David Johnson and Sarah Law were my 4th gr grandparents. David was most likely born in Wayne County, since the death certificates of most of his children indicate that. And they were married in Wayne County in 1822. He died in 1848 in Logan County. Sarah was possibly born in Pennsylvania, as census records indicate, and died sometime after 1880, maybe in Logan County because she was living there in 1880 with her son Wilson C. Johnson. David was born about 1801 and Sarah about 1805. One death certificate, that of daughter Isabella "Belle" Furrow, strangely says that her mother's maiden name was Sarah Baysinger. I think the informant was Belle's daughter. I can't figure out why it would say that, unless possibly Sarah was married to a Basinger before she married David Johnson. I don't think that was possible, though. Is Basinger a name that shows up in early Wayne County? Does anyone recognize these names?

Seeking Info on Siblings of Henry KAMPF

exbuckeye — 22 Aug 2007 8:19:28 GMT

Hi:

I am a descendant of the Kampfs. I am currently working on the brothers and sisters of my ggg grandfather.

Anthony Kampf married Sarah Rosenberg in PA. Anthony was born in 1779 and Sarah was born in 1778. They moved to Wayne Co., OH where they lived until their deaths. Anthony died in 1841 and Sarah died in 1874. They are buried in Dalton Cemetery.

Their son, Henry, is my direct descendant.

I am seeking information on his brothers and sisters. Mariah married Joseph Rohrer. She is buried in Dalton Cemetery. Sarah married married William McFadden. She is buried in Dalton Cemetery. Elizabeth married John Thomas. I believe Elizabeth and John were only married a short time before Elizabeth died. John, the last brother that I am aware of was born about 1815 and died in 1840.

If anyone has information on the brothers and sisters I would love to hear from you. I will gladly share the information I have on Henry.

Thanks...mjc

The will of Henry Tarr, dated March 13, 1831, lists children: John, R.I., Samuel, Elizabeth mar John Tempelton, Polly, mar Moses Hall, & Catherine mar Jacob B. Espich. I'm a descendent of Samuel & haven't found much on him--don't even know date of birth or death but located him in Steubenville in 1820 & think two sons were born there in 1820's. Any additional info on Samuel would be greatly appreciated. Also interested in descendents or info regarding John & R.I. Tarr.

David Snodgrass and Sarah Jane Cassady

milliehelencovey — 27 Jun 2007 3:16:21 GMT

Did Sarah Jane Cassady and David Snodgrass marry in Crestline, Wayne Co., OH between 1860 - 1865? One website indicates that four of their children - Viola, Frank, Charles, and Emma Snodgrass - were born in Wayne County between 1865 and 1874.

David (1828 - 1915) was born in Washington Co., OH and was the son of Druzilla Oliver and Hiram Snodgrass. David's first wife was Sarah Prior and they married on May 9, 1850 in Washington County. Sarah Jane Cassady (1844 - 1917) was the daughter of Margaret Cline and Morton Cassady and was the second wife of David Snodgrass.

I haven't been able to locate where this second marriage took place or where they were living in 1870.

OBITUARY FOR BENJAMIN VAN VLEET

janw_1 — 25 Nov 2006 12:32:28 GMT

Is there a way to have someone check to see if there is an obituary for Benjamin Van Vleet? He died around August 1861 and was a resident of Milton, Wayne Co, OH. I have a copy of his probate, but it doesn't give the date of his death, nor does it give the last names of his first wife and second wife (widow). His first wife's name was Sally G. ___, who is buried in Rittman's Cemetery along with their daughter Elizabeth. His second wife's name was Mary Ann ___. Not only do I not know the exact date of Benjamin's death, but I also don't know where he is buried.

Any help would surely be appreciated!

Paul Emericus Dalessandro and Elvira Gabriel

Miralogos — 15 May 2007 4:41:46 GMT

I am searching for Paul Emericus Dalessandro, born about 14 October 1919 in Leetonia, Columbiana County, Ohio, to Dominic and Minnie Dalessandro. The family had moved to Barberton, Summit County, Ohio by 1930. Sometime in the mid 1950's Paul and a lady friend, Elvira Gabriel of Leetonia (born 1933)seem to have joined up and dropped from sight. Over the next few decades people reported seeing Paul occasionally, including at ballgames in Orrville, Wayne County, Ohio. Family members from both the Dalessandro and Gabriel families have been unable to catch up with either Paul or Elvira. Any information would be appreciated.

Griffith families in Wayne County, Ohio early 1800s

magrif — 25 Apr 2007 4:31:58 GMT

I'm studying 2 different Griffith lines that were in early Wayne County, Ohio. I am not able to connect these 2 lines yet. Wonder if anyone has information about either of these family lines:
1.) Evan Griffith, b.abt.1794 at Penn., married Rebecca Clinker at Wayne County, Ohio in 1832- he is on the Wayne County census from 1840-1860. I know he had one son, John b.1838 who married Sophia McQuaid, and who lived at Wayne County at least thru 1910. and
2.) Philip B. Griffith, b. 1779, probably at Maryland. He was at Wayne County, Ohio by 1810 and left to the next county south in 1830. I have traced many descendants of these two lines and am trying to get DNA tested on some descendants to assist with the study and to compare with mine. Would like to discuss all Griffith lines in early Wayne County with other researchers. - Thanks, Allan Griffith, Bloomington, Illinois - magrif@verizon.net

miller / lehr`

jeffhartman_53 — 31 Oct 2005 1:21:56 GMT

Searching for info on a Henry C. Miller b 8-20-1847 d 5-6-1906 in Wayne Co. OH. I am searching for the parents and birth location of Henry and I only have the following clues.

According to Henry’s Obit his parents died “when he was but a small boy” and “leaving him homeless and among strangers”. He was taken in by a William Lehr, where he stayed until he was a young man. I hope that by finding some info on this William Lehr, I will find the area where Henry was born.

Henry’s wife was Mary Catherine Ritter b 2-24-1853. Not sure if it is the same Mary, but I have located a Mary Catherine Ritter born “abt 1852” that was born in the Little Sandusky area of Wyandot Co. OH.

Other Millers from the Wayne/Medina Co, OH area, and in fact are buried in the same small country cemetery as Henry are from the Miller line that moved from Fairfield Co. OH to Wyandot Co, OH. I suspect that Henry may have been part of this line, although it confuses me that he was considered homeless and was taken in by William Lehr unless there were no other Millers in the area or if William Lehr was related some how.

Both couples were born in PA. and moved to Wayne Co.,Ohio in early 1800's. John and Andrew were brothers.

SMITH/Coller/Collar/Zinn

tllewis1958 — 23 Mar 2007 2:07:58 GMT

Researching my 4th Great Grandfather, William Smith (b. 1807) born in PA and Mary (Zinn)Smith (b. 1810- d. 1878) born in PA. I'd like to be able to acquire information for them while they lived in Wayne County. Possibly find information about Williams parents, siblings, children, place of burial and also trace them prior to coming to Wayne County.

They are listed as living in Jackson Township, Wayne Co. in the 1830 Census. On the 1840, 1850, 1860 and 1870 Federal Censuses they are listed as living in Congress Township, Wayne Co. The only infomation I have about them after 1870
is that Mary (Zinn) Smith died in 1878. I found this information from a small newspaper article from Wood County mentioning her daughter, Mary Ann's return to the area to attend her funeral services.. Nothing on Wlliam after 1870.

The children of William and Mary (Zinn) Smith are;

1. John L Smith, b. 1834
2. Elizabeth Smith, b. 1837
3. Mary Ann Smith, b. 6 Jul 1838- d. 21 Dec 1912 Mary Ann married a Henry Coller/Collar (b. 1838) in Wayne County. I have Henry as being born in Ashland County, the son of Jacob and Lydia (Stein) Coller/Collar. According to Mary Ann's obituary she was born in Burbank.
4. William W Smith, b. 1841
5. Albert Smith, b. 1843
6. Mahala Smith, b. 1848

On the 1840 Census I have William living next door to a Nathaniel Smith that would appear to be the right age to be Williams father. I also suspect that William may have had an older brother named Nathaniel living next to him on the 1850 Census.

Divorced Sarah and married 2d to Anna Keasley (may not be exact and date/place not known). Had one child by this union, Nany Mae Smith (may not be exact). Died in Kokomo, IN in March 1914. Any help with identifying parents and siblings (1860 census indicates that parents were born in PA) will be appreciated.

Morland Frankliln Township, Wayne County, Ohio

gwendowlyn — 26 Mar 2007 8:07:29 GMT

I think I've finally located the correct George Washington Moore and connected him to a family member. This is based on a land transaction that lists George Moore and his wife, Louisa Moore (selling, I believe) land to Samuel Eason. Holding a mortgage is a James W. Moore. This is not, however, concrete evidence.

On the plat maps, there is a George W. Moore living near a J. W. Moore and Andrew J. Moore in Morland. I suspect that this is my George, as he is listed as divorced in census records and it fits with what our oral history says.

J. W. Moore also owned land in Clinton Township. Also, there was a Andrew Moore as executor of the will of George's wife's father. Put this all together and I think this is the family.

Is anyone connected to these Moores of Morland in Franklin Township? Or even Moores that would have been in Clinton township? The three lands that are together are in Morland and based on the plat maps and Google maps, I believe are bordered by Moreland Road (north side) and Millersburg Road (ohio 83) goes between two of the farms. (there were Millers living there in 1897). Is there anything documented about Moreland anywhere? Or these Moores? (or Moor spelling)

Thanks in advance.

Linda Casper — 20 Oct 2006 4:57:23 GMT

Hello-
I hope someone out there can help me. I have looked and asked and wondered for 32 years about my fathers people, and I hope someone can help me.
From the 1850 Wayne Co.,Clinton Census I have : Hiram 30 MI Rebecca 22 OH Mary A 4 IN Sarah E 2 IN and Harriet 1/2 IN.
There is great proof that one of these ( Rebecca or Hiarm) 3 rd great grandparents are Indian. There is a great possibilty of the Miami tribe.
They moved from place to place to place.
There were to be married in Holmes Co. OH in 1844. In the 1850 census Hiram was born in MI, in the 1860 census he was born in OH, in the 1870 census he was born in IN- by 1900 the census from St. Joe County Indiana he is gone.
Her birth state is consistent with OH.
Her name could also have been turned around and been Lightfoot Morningstar.
I would love to see photos and find my family.
They have a Hiram paired up with Rebecca on Family Search and Ansestry.com, but its the wrong guy.
I hope I can find someone out there who knows or who could help. I would really appreciate it.
Thank you, Linda Casper

Schaffters

Dianne — 10 Jun 2003 3:59:05 GMT

Anne Margurite Schaffter died in Mt Eaton on 5 Mar 1856. I'm curious about her parents. I strongly suspect that her spouse was Isaac Schaffter, and she had children who settled in Wayne County, including my direct ancestor... but I lack good hard solid proof. I'm also working on trying to figure out who her parents were over in Switzerland... if I even had a first name of her father, it would help immensely. Were there any obit records printed back at that time? Her death was recorded in the old Mt Eaton church.
Also, I'm collecting information on any and all Schaffters-- as most (if not all) seem to have originated from Moutier, Bern, Switzerland, and I'm still trying to sort out the zillions of families. Thanks!

In 1855, he moved to Iowa and lived in Jefferson County then to Wayne Co. and settled in Benton Twp. area. Peter P. Lohr married Sarah Holder and they had six children: Elizabeth, Michael, Daniel, Harriet, John, and Allen.

This family are direct decendendants of (Johan) George and Maria Margaretha Lohr who resided in York Co., PA in the mid 1700's. Peter, Sr., who is buried in Augusta Co., VA. was the brother to (Johan) Michael Lohr who also resided in Rockingham Co. Virginia. Both Peter and Michael served in the Revoluntary War and took land in the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia after the war. Some of Michael's decendendants also moved to Ohio as well and some to Madison Co., Virginia.

I am looking for information on the James B. Barr family from Wooster, Ohio. James (1799-1893) was a blacksmith according to the 1850 census. His Wife was Susan Stroh. There children were Margaret(1834),James (1836), Metilda(1841), John(1843). In 1870, James and Susan had three children that they were given to raise: Mariah(1859), Ambrose(1861), John(1863). I would like to know more about where these three children came from and more info about the family in general. The family moved to Wayne Co. around 1836 from Pennsylvania. My direct link is through John (1843).

I am looking for information on Christopher Kuhn, born about 1834 in PA. He married Sarah Fry, born about 1832 in Ohio, on June 21, 1855 in Wayne Co, OH. By 1860, they had moved to McLean Co, IL where I have info from the 1860, 1870 and 1880 Federal Census. This is the only info. I currently have.
Any information or leads for either of these individuals and/or their families would be greatly appreciated!
