ANY data desperately needed and greatly appreciated. I believe these HOSLERs are descendants of my 2nd GUncle Dennis/Darius HOSLER who is 1850/1860 Cen Huntington Co, IND, to Piatt Co, ILL with his brothers Jefferson & Oliver (my GGF); married Piatt Co, 1870/1 to a LOTT/HOTT. Jefferson & Oliver both d. Piatt Co, ILL. & Dennis/Darius went to Colorado. Family Tradition: He d Pike's Peak, Colorado (unproven to date). My Grandfather Elmo Arthus HOSLER and his brother-in-law visited the Hosler family in Colorado before he married my GM Mary Susan in 1910. That is the extent of my information about Darius/Dennis HOSLER and am desperately seeking ANY data at all. Have been trying to find him for years. Have the HOSLER Gen back to immigrant ancestor Sebastian Hasler/Hassler/Hossler/Hosler and wife Barbara Degan/Degen from Canton of Basel, Switzerland in 1748. Hosler Family from Lancaster/Berks, Co, Pa; to Stark Co, Oh; to Huntington Co, IN, to Piatt Co, Ill, to McLean Co, Il (my branch). Am slowly filling in gaps in "tree" & will gladly share all that I have with anyone who wants it. All help gratefully appreciated.
