Found this in my Hotmail box - a bit late, but not too late for our mail list archives. Btw. are we talking about Conrad NIENSTEDT, of the Dragoner Regiment Prinz Ludwig, from Amsen (AMMENSEN), age 24/00 (appr. 1754/55) who deserted 13. Dec. 1778 on the march from Boston Winter Hill to Virginia in the vicinity of Everittstown, N.J.

He is the >fourth in descent from Byal, who settled in Baltimore, Md., from Paris, >France. Elizabeth Newstutter was a daughter of Henry Newstutter, who served >as a Hessian soldier with the British under Burgoyne was captured at >Saratoga and never exchanged. He came to Ohio in 1809 and settled in Stark >County. John Byal came with his father, William, to Ohio in 1809, when a >lad, and after spending twenty-three years in Stark County moved to this >county in 1832, where William died in 1840, followed by his son John in >1853 * (his widow surviving him about six years). They left a family of >nine children-four sons and five daughters. Our subject, when a young man, >worked on a farm and attended the saw-mill of his father. Upon reaching >manhood he engaged in farming, and cleared up a nice place for himself, >which he rented in 1847 and embarked in merchandising in Putnam County; >retiring from that after seven years' successful experience, he returned to >Findlay, where he has been identified with many different interests since, >principally, however, in baying and selling real estate. He was married, in >1842, to Dorotha Comer, who bore him one son and three daughters, of whom >Mary Elizabeth, wife of S. D. Houpt, is the only survivor. In 1860 Mrs. >Byal passed away her life in full communion with the Methodist Episcopal >Church, and is buried in Maple Grove Cemetery with her children: Squire C., >Amanda and Ida. In 1862 Mr. Byal was again united in marriage, this time- >with Mary, daughter of the late Jacob Lamb. Mr. and Mrs. Byal attend >services at the Presbyterian Church, of which he has been an efficient >official. He has always been a cordial supporter of measures tending to the >advancement of the interests of Hancock County, and has served this city >and township in useful official positions. > CAMPBELL BYAL (deceased), son of John and Elizabeth (Newstutter) Byal, >was born in 1835, and reared on the farm which he subsequently owned, in >Findlay Township, this county. He took great pride in this property, and >built upon and improved it until he had made it one of the moat beautiful >farms in Hancock County. Campbell Byal always took an active interest in >the development of the social and industrial life of this locality, and was >for many years a prominent spirit in the United Brethren Church, but the >breaking out of the war of the Rebellion created considerable dissension in >that body, and Mr. Byal chose a quiet retirement from church matters. He >served as infirmary director two terms, and as member of the school board >of his district for several terms, also in many township offices. He was >happily married in this county to Anna, daughter of Joel and Amy (Sherman) >Pendleton, and to them were born three sons and one daughter: John >Melville, Nora M. , Clement L. and Leslie L.
