Hello,

I found this info as I am researching my family tree. Dr. William A. Pewthers would be my 4 times Great Grandfather, if the info I have found is correct. I have his mother as Mariah Jane Nickell.

I also found a William Pewthers (no middle initial) with the children/spouse you list below and I don't think they are the same person.

The William you mention below, according to information I found on Findagrave.com was buried at the Lima State Hospital, aka Allen County Infirmary State Hospital. I researched a little and it was a hospital for the criminally insane. The death date from the hospital is 10/24/1931.

Im not sure what information is correct. I have been unable to go any further in my family tree as I am stuck at my 4th GG.

Thank you for the information you provided. Hopefully I will be able to find more information. I am new at this and have a lot to learn.

Regards,
Robin Rush

PS - I found through family stories and a little research the name comes from Scotland and was originally PEWTHERER.

Hi Robin,

No, those are two different Williams. Daniel Porter Pewthers' father was William Pewthers - although, I can't quite connect him to any of the ones I've found. However, he also had a son named William who did end up in Lima Hospital. I believe the Dr. Pewthers you mention may be Daniel's father. If he was ever married to an Elizabeth Thorp, then we may have a match.

William

William, all these years later, I realize we didn't post our final conclusion on Daniel/David to this board. I'm going to quote here your email to me of 1/16/2010:

"This is what I’ve been looking at: http://goo.gl/PSpEjL. It lists his name as Daniel several times. And I know what you mean about how Daniel & David look alike. That makes it very difficult.

"I am going to try and find someone to visit Beaver Union Cemetery to find his headstone."

So, this point, we've concluded his name is Daniel.

Thanks for the information on Matilda. Her mother was Elizabeth "Betsy" Kirkendall, b. abt 1781. (Married John Pewthers in neighboring Scioto county on 10 Sep 1812) Matilda's name was our best clue to Elizabeth's parents. Johannes Kirkendall and his wife Anglesea Nicholson settled in Jackson county, Ohio before 1820. Because Betsy named her daughter Matilda Anglesea or Angelissa, and because birth date fits, we are presuming that Betsy was the daughter of Johannes and Anglesea.

Would you mind sharing your source for Matilda's death date/place?
