On June 25th, 1998 Dick Andis posted a message to this list with Clinton County, Ohio marriages listed. Among the marriages were those of: Jacob N. Kiger and Mary Ann Wakeman on 7 May 1844 and Willaim G. Kiger and Harriett Wakeman on 20 January 1848. At the time Dick mused that he wondered who the Wakeman girls were--I can now answer that as well as indentify the two Kigers. Jacob N. Kiger is actually Jacob G. born about 1817 and William George Kiger was born in 1828 in Greene County, Ohio. They are brothers who are the sons of Samuel Kiger and Susannah Nimerick who lived in Clinton County, Ohio. The two Wakeman girls were sisters and were the daughters of Gideon Wakeman and Deborah Haynes. The Wakeman line is English and can be traced back to New England at an early date. Joan
