Thank you Chip-I am familiar with Ashland/Richlabd and Wayne Counties and how their townships changed in 1846. Lots of my ancestors including the Cobles' were living there during that time. Knowing that your Christian had a brother named Henry who purchased land in Ashland has been a big help. I have finally found who the father of my Abraham Coble is (I will post this information in another email). Abraham had a brother named Henry who appears to have left Franklin County, PA. ca 1835, based on tax records. When I saw a Henry Coble in Ashland I wanted to see if this Henry was indeed Abraham's brother (Abraham was there by 1836) or if he belonged to another Coble group. Now I think that the Henry who purchased property, most likely belongs to you and not me. What is interesting is that your line and my line were living very close together in Wayne/Ashland at the same time period. As for Christian Coble, I have just determined that there are no Christians in that generation, this Christian is yours. Thanks Chip! Jean
