Thought I'd send out my family mystery. I have a grgruncle who operated a ferry over the Auglaize River in NW Ohio in the late 1840/50s. Family lore has it that he just came up missing one day and the ferry was abandoned. His folks figured he'd just climbed in the back of someone's wagon and set off out west. He was never heard from again. I have it narrowed down to one of two fellows, there were alot of brothers in this family, and am now quite certain it was Abraham Lewis, b.c.1804. The funny thing is, the next generation in my line also had an Abraham (L.) Lewis who took off to dig for gold in NV and was not heard from in many many years. When he returned to the fold, my grgrandfather was so disgusted with him that when he died, Gramps buried him in a potter's field. 'Spose there's an inherited wanderlust? Thanks! Barb
