A Shot in the Dark

Classification: Query
Hello, I am looking for the father of my paternal grandmother. It has been said the she was adopted (via a closed adoption). I do not have much by way of her parents name, but do have my grandmother's information - she may have several names attached to her along her life, which is below:

Naomi Ruth (Phillips Haines Snell McIntire) Seevers
b. 22 Apr 1932 (not sure about birth place)
d. 6 Oct 2004 in New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas, OH, USA

Her Father: Charles Phillips
Her Mother: Gladys (Haines Phillips) Snell

I have been told that she had 3 sisters and 1 brother, but do not know names, birthdates, etc. and, to be honest, am not really sure if those are the correct numbers for siblings. Like many families of that time, adoption and family circumstances were kept (and sometimes continue to be kept) extremely quiet. I am not looking to cause problems/situations, I just want to know more about my family and where/who we descend from.

Naomi Ruth and Edward Melven McIntire were married in the late 1940s to early 1950s. They had two children together, Floyd J McIntire (1951) and Robert E McIntire (1952). Naomi and Edward divorced (not sure when). At some point, I think they lived in the Coshocton, Ohio area during the early 1950s.

At time of my grandmother's death, she had been married (for as long as I can remember) to Harry Seevers and resided in New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas, Ohio, USA. After her death, he moved in with Naomi's youngest son and his family.

Any help with finding her family/family line would be so greatly appreciated!
