Thank you Mary B. for sending the Land Records in Ohio for The Coble's living there. This site www.glorecords.blm.gov/ is a wonderful source of information. Click Search Land Patents, next type in the state you wish to search, then type in the surname, click Details next to the name, this will give you the Patent Description. Be sure to also click on Legal Land Description and Document Image. The Document Image actually shows the original Land Deed which is printable for your files. Be sure to search for all spelling variations as well. I am trying to determine if Christopher, Henry and John Coble of Ashland and Wayne Counties in Ohio are related to Abraham Coble who lived in Ashland County, Ohio by 1837. Abraham came to Ohio from Franklin Co., PA. In studying the 1820 and 1830 census records and early tax records for Franklin Co. PA., I have found Christopher, Henry, John and Abraham Coble all living in close proximity of each other. I appears that they are related, just need to find the relationship. Brothers or cousins. For those of you who have been on these lists for some time know that I have been very actively searching for other descendants of my Coble/Kobel line. Last week, as a result of my post to these lists, I did finally find a one! Mary's ancestress Barbara Coble is the sister of my ancestress Nancy Coble, daughters of Abraham. (1790-1865) I am delighted! It pays to post! Jean Coble and Kobel list manager
