To whom it may concern: Can someone on the list please tell me where Red Oak Timbers is? I do know that it is said to be just woods. But my Great Grandfather was born there. I was wondering if anyone knew which county it was located in? I do know that there is Redoak Cemetery in Weller Twshp, but thats all i know. According to my Grandfather, he said all it is just some woods. Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks Rhona Mahaffey-Boyd
What is left of the Red Oak Timber is south of Cambridge, and, yes, there is a cemetery.

There is also a timber just to the west of Bishop Hill that was called the Red Oak Timber. The Red Oak Cemetery is a little further north west. As I understand, it was just refered to as Red Oak. There were a few houses around there but most are gone now. Some of my Mother's family are buried there.
