I hope to visit the area in the future and would like to take photos of the headstones, if possible. I believe they moved to Fairfield County in the very early 1800s. Russ
Russ, I don't know the answer to your question, but I am also researching the earliest BLOSSER families of Fairfield Co., OH. - - - - - - - - - - My BLOSSER brick wall is my ggg-grandmother, Nancy BLOSSSER: b. 24 Feb 1806 PA (possibly VA] m. abt 1827 to Moses LARIMER, probably in or near Fairfield Co., OH (though no marriage record found in Fairfield Co., OH or Perry Co., OH. (Moses LARIMER was b. 1804 Rush Creek Twp., Fairfield Co., OH). 1830 census: Moses Larimore, age 20-29, Rush Creek Twp., Fairfield Co., OH. + (1) M <5, (1) F 20-29, (1) F 15-19 [?], (1) F <5. 1837: came to [Miami or Cass] IN from OH. d. 29 Mar 1880 Peru Twp., Miami Co., IN - - - - - - - - - - There are several better-known Nancy BLOSSERs out there, but the dates, locations, and spouses make them impossible to be mine. I came across these awhile back, maybe some help... Fairfield Co., OH marriages abstracted from the Lancaster Gazette: BLAZER, KITTY-DAVID ASHBAUGH-FEB 1820 BLOSSER, ANNA-ABRAHAM BEERY-OCT 1819 BLOSSER, POLLY-PETER STIMER-NOV 1824 BLOWSER, ABE-MARTHA TRIFLINGER-DEC 1820 I also have an 1820s Fairfield Co., OH marriage of an Obediah Larimer to a Susannah Blosser, but don't know the connection. Also these... - There is a Blosser Cemetery in Rushcreek Twp. (maybe Amanda Twp.?), Fairfield Co., OH - There is a Blosser Cemetery in Rockingham Co., VA From what I've been able to tell, there were a number of related BLOSSER families, I think originating in PA, some went to Fairfield Co., OH. Some went to VA (and I think some of those later went to OH). I'd like to keep in touch, we may come across things that will help each other.
