Took a closer look at the bible page .... Samue Baughman m. Ruth Hopkins are paternal grandparents. ... Sam Houston, b. 1826 and Marena Jane McKinley are the maternal Grandfather in the bible.id Parents are: David Franklin Baughman, b. 1852, Muskingum Co., OH, d. 1937, prob Chariton, IA. He m. in 1877 to Melissa Jane Houston who was b. 1853, Chariton, d. 1933, prob. Chariton. The children listed, all born Sherifan, WYomng, are all Wells , b. 1906, 1908, 1910, 1914. My info for this Sam Houston, so far, is in the outline below: Descendants of Samuel D. Houston 23 Samuel D. Houston 1826 - 1896 ... +Marena J. McKinley 1832 - 1928 .. 24 Melissa J. Houston 1853 - 1933 ........ +David Franklin Baughman 1852 - 1937 .. 24 Charles T. Houston 1853 - 1915 .. 24 Elizabeth Ellen? Houston 1856 - 1935 .. 24 Tillman H. Houston 1858 - 1869 .. 24 Inez B.?

Houston 1853 - 1933 Don't know how the Wells name links. The Baughman surname got my interest as there was a Hannah Baughman, b. Mar 10, 1785 at Reading, Berks Co., PA, d. 1874 Muskingum Co. Ohio m. Daniel B. Gaumer, Sr., b. 1781, MD, d. 1859, Salem Twp.,Muskingum Co., Ohio. They were m. in 1800 in PA, Their dau. Rebecca m. John Wymer [b. 1808] and had Esther Wymer, [b. 1837] who m. John Jackson Werts. Like Samuel Baughman, Esther was b. in Muskingum Co., OH . Esther d. in Wyoming at son's home in Garland, park Co. WY. but was b. back t Russell, Iowa with her husband. *How was Daniel related to Esther ... cousin perhaps? Would appreciate more info for the Baughman family line. Hope this additonal information helps someone make a decision about the info in the family bible being sold online.
