Here's a query I posted in 2000; didn't get much reply. I'm sending it to you since it looks like there must be some 'Yinger' connections in Ohio, although I haven't run across your particular branch yet.

I am looking for information on the following person:
Yinger, Casper (no M.I.)
date/place of birth: probably c. 1825; probably Shelby County, Ohio
date/place of death: (Nov. or Dec.?) 1865; probate records were filed in Turtle Creek Township, Shelby County, Ohio12/25/1865.
Father/mother are unknown.
He is listed in the July 1850 census for Shelby County, Ohio (Franklin Township) at 25 yrs. of age, and residing at that time with (three children?): Nancy (6 yrs.), W.M. (3 yrs.), and Bazzle (sp.?, 2 yrs.), all born in Ohio. No wife is listed as resident at this location/time (widower?). Casper's occupation is listed in this census report as "Farmer."
He had a son, Finley Yinger (my great grandfather), born 8/17/1855 in Hardin, OH, and died 12/15/1921 in Johnson, KS, and married 4/15/1875 to Francis Ellen Abrams.
Any information you can provide about Casper Yinger would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Kent L. Yinger
