Posted on: Mason County, IL, Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Il/Mason/89 Surname: McDaniel, Gunterman, Dewalt ------------------------- I just recently learned (yesterday 2/4/00) that my grgr-grndmthr was Nancy Dewalt, b. abt 1844-1850, OH., pssbly Stark Co. OH. Nancy's parents were Caleb Dewalt and Sarah _______?. Upon researching, I pssbly found that Caleb had brothers named Charles (Sally Shook), Henry (Catherine Fogle or Caroline Fogle), Samuel (Barbara Newhouse) and Daniel. This info is circumstantial right now. My mother found a letter-written by her aunt-with Amos Mcdaniel and Nancy Dewalt info on it. Amos was in the Civil War from 2/12/1862 to 2-20-1864, and m. Nancy 3/29/1864. The letter also gave Nancy's siblings of Issac d. 7/28/1900, Mary b. 1835 OH, Elizabeth b. 1840 OH, Charles b. 1838 OH and James b. 1849 Mason Co, IL. I hope I can get some help on this, and find some confirmation. What do you think, did this help you ? Becky
