John, In answer to your email of the 4th.... Here is your answer to one question. Esther Behymer marr James John Sep 13, 1832 by Wm. Robb MG Esther Behymer and James John was named heir for Barbara (Weddle) Behymer. Deed Book K2-page 320, dated Mar 21, 1835. James John and Esther John, heirs to estate of Barbara Behymer, sold to Benjamin B'hymer of Fountain Co, IN; (re 158 acres of Barbara's husband, John). NOTE: Esther Behymer was thought to be dau of John and Barbara Weddle Behymer, but its more likely she was a granddaughter. She is one of young females that was with Barbara in 1830 census. When Esther marr James they moved to Spencer, IN (about 1854). James John was grandson of Barthlolomew and Rachel (Wood) Gaskins of VA and James John, Rev. Soldier, who went to Clermont Co, OH in 1796. JAMES's parents were Thomas and Sarah (Witham) John. Because of Esther's birth, I believe it is more reasonable that she was a granddaughter of John and Barbara, but do not know who her father was... could have been 1) John Jr 2) Levi 3) Martin. Esther was born Nov 26, 1812 in Clermont, OH. She died Nov 5, 1877 in Newtonville, Spencer, In and buried in New Hope Baptist Cem. She was not the same person as the wife of Levi. Levi marr Esther Franz Nov 23, 1812 by Stephen Lindsay, JP (1-32). Esther Franz Behymer marr John Gray Mar 2, 1820 by Wm Robb MG Reb Baptist (1-137)...Esther Franz Behyme was age 43 at 2nd marr, making her born about 1777. Would estimate Levi was about the same age. If Esther Behymer Johns was their daughter, she was born a couple days after Levi's marr to Esther Franz...Not impossible, but illogical. Esther Franz and Esther Behymer are two different people. Esther Behymer couldn't be Martin's daughter. His first marriage was to Lucinda Beagle on Dec 5, 1816. Esther could have been daughter of John, Jr...since I don't feel we have found the right John for this family. Esther and James John had: 1. Thomas L. John b. 3-31-1836 OH.Clermont 2. Mary Ann John, b. 2-2-1838 d. 10-12-1840 OH.Clermont 3. Benjamin B. John b. 1-7-1840 OH.Clermont 4. Alonzo A. John b. 1-9-1841 OH.Clermont 5. Lorenzo Dow John b. 3-21-1844 OH.Clermont 6. Martin Taylor John b. 8-22-1846 OH.Clermont 7. Emily Alice John b. 12-18-1849 OH.Clermont ...Thomas, Benjamin, Alonzo and Martin in civil war. Hope this clears up the question on Esther. Sallye
