Kaylynn. Here would be my assumptions on this family after going through what records I have from DeWitt. You have studied this family much longer so let me know how you think I did????? I just got fascinated with this family, don't know why since I am in no way related. In itself that is rare since I am related to 9 /10ths of the old timers. HA!!!! I told you but for everyone else it looks as though this family came from the area of Hocking County, Ohio. ENJOY!! North Brothers: Looks as though three North brothers came from Ohio about the same time. I will go through them one at a time: A. John P. North b. abt. 1806 Ohio d.??? Buried at Rose Cem.
