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.
