ROOP: Joseph Roop (1808, PA-1876, Adams Co, IN) m. 1836, Elizabeth Kemp (1816, OH-1891, Decatur, IN) What was Joseph's occupation? Where are Joseph and Elizabeth buried? Joseph's son, George W. Roop was a bootmaker in Decatur. Any information on Elizabeth would be "manna from Heaven" REED: John H., Polly and Victor S. Reed were all children of John H. Reed (1800, VT-1904, ?) and Matilda Spangler (1829, OH-1909, Root Twp, IN). A cousin has said that John and Polly lived on Tenth St. in Decatur. I don't believe either married. When did they die and where are they buried? HOWER: Henry Hower (1827, PA-1854) m. 1850, Adams Co, Mary E. Coffman (1832-1908). The couple had two daughters, Sarah "Sadie" (1851-1925) m. George W. Roop, and Rebecca (b. 1853) m. Daniel B. Roop. After Henry died, Mary m. Bazile Hendricks. Did they all die in Adams Co? I have a good bit of information on the Hower family, but very little on the Coffmans. Would love to contact descendants of any of these folks. SPANGLER: Several of the children of Samuel and Catherine (Neff) Spangler of OH, settled in Adams Co: Sylvester (d. 1856, Adams Co) m. Elizabeth ___ Susan (d. 1901, Adams Co) m. Jacob Kiefer Peter (d. betw. 1860-67, Adams Co) m. Hannah Newhorter Jacob (d. 1921, Adams Co) m. Margaret Baker and Matilda (d. 1909, Adams Co) m. John H. Reed. I have lots of information on the Spangler ancestors if anyone recognizes these names. WILLIAMS: Jesse Williams (1832, PA-1913, Adams Co) m. Alice Ruckman (1838, OH-1917, Adams Co). Jesse was a farmer in Adams Co. and had the following children: Watson E., William W., Della B. m. Benjamin Butler, Loretta A. m. William Butler, Mary Ellen m. Victor S. Reed and Jessie D. Jesse's mother was Catherine King, but I do not have his father's name. Would love to contact any of the Williams descendants. Margie R. Pearce Genealogy URL: http://www.angelfire.com/la/ancestors
