I am looking for Gears from Marshalltown Iowa and Ohio.

My Great-Grandmother Nellie Gear. I know that she had a sister-in-law named Mabel Gear. Nellie married William Shannon and
several others. Their names include, Lane,Hall, and McDaniel.

My grandmother Nellie's daughter was born Mary Elizabeth Shannon. She was born April of 1909.

Please Help! I cant find anything!

Carolyn,

My Gear family (George b. 1785 and Catherine(?) b. 1798)
left Cumberland County, PA and reached Wayne County, Ohio
by 1830. Later they moved to Sandusky County and are buried
with their daughter Mary in Bright Cemetery, Hancock County.

Their son Joseph (b. 1825)is my ggg-grandfather. He was a
United Brethren minister, and lived at various times in northwest
Ohio, northeast Indiana, and finally Hillsdale County, Michigan.
He died in 1915.

Should any of the above information fit with your search for
Ohio Gears, please contact me at: zook@sover.net. I'll be happy
to provide more.

My ancestry, which I just found out about, starts with Ransom Gaer born 1776 in Virginia. Sometime later, my gg-grandfather ended up in Iowa/Nebraska. There is much confusion however, beacause of the spelling of Gaer. Many spell it Gear. I believe though that it is supposed to be Gaer.
