Chip- Going over some Coble notes and I see that in 1998 you posted a query to the KOBEL list about a Christian Coble born in the early 1800's in PA. Another Coble researcher and I are trying to determine who the Coble families were in Ohio at that time. John, found this: Richland Co. Sharon Twsp. Coble, Christian 54 PA. (estimate birth year as 1806) Ashland County, Ohio Lake Twsp. Coble, Henry 62 PA. (estimate birth year as 1798) Ashland Co. Ohio Orange Twsp. Coble, Abraham 59 PA. (This is my Abraham Coble) There is some speculation that Henry Coble is somehow related to my Abraham, so I am wondering if you have come across this Henry born 1798 and if you have determined if Christian Coble of Sharon Twsp., Richland County is "yours". Thanks for any help. Jean

Jean- Here is what I have on my Christian Kobel. I ran into some confusion searching in Ohio as well. Not only were there several Christians in Ohio during the same time period and some within close proximity to one another, I was trying to unscramble a Christian Sr. and Christian Jr. situation. Notice that Christian Jr. had a brother "Henry" born in 1798 in PA. Also, Christian Jr. was born 1808 in PA., you have an estimated birth date of 1806. Wayne Co., Ashland Co. and Richland Co. are all next to each other and the boundaries were different back then. This looks like it could be the Henry and Christian I have, but I cannot definitively say so without further info. Christian Jr. left Wayne Co. for Williams Co. OH. and may have lived for a short while in Richland Co., or this could be one of the other Chritians I kept running into. 14.
