Seek to determine relationship, if any, between Caroline Stroh (Denison) b. 1858 and Amanda Stroh (Denison) b. 1949. I believe Amanda's parents were Daniel Stroh and Margarety Monroe but I don't know Caroline's. Caroline was the wife of Levi Denison and Amanda the wife of his brother, Julius Denison. Help appreciated. Ron

Hello Dick, I did forget to mention Fred Hull married to Gladys Layman. The citation shows her to have survived him and to have lived in Defiance, Ohio I might guess they married as late as 1910. Her parents were Israel Layman and Rosela Morr, the grandmother being my gg-grandfather's sister, Susan Fetter Layman. Amazingly, an aunt to Susan Fetter Layman, named Susanna Fetter Jones and husband Robert Jones are living in Defiance, Oh after 1850, and probably not known to each other. The last are buried in Farmer Township. I show no outcome for Fred and Gladys, and would like to know if there is any descendents. Thanks, Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard T.

Hi Ron, Thanks for emailing me. Below is the citation from Dekalb County. It shows Lester Cobler marrying Laura Layman. This likely occurred about 1880. As you can see, no outcome is listed for them. Her mother is my gg-grandfather's sister Susan Fetter Layman. If you are related to this couple I can provide their kin in both directions in the Fetters, not so much among Layman. If you are not related but have information of their children, etc., I would love to have it. Dan a.. Philip Layman married Susan Fetters. To this union were born five children: George, Israel, Sadie, Laura, and Maude. They lived on the farm on County Road 60. Philip, his wife, and Lew, a cousin, are all buried in the Bear Creek Cemetery in Jackson Township. George was united in marriage to Allie Leora Woodring. They built a house west of the old home place and they lived there until George died. George and Allie were the parents of two children: Guy and Lola. Guy married Edna Hook. They had a store in West Unity, Ohio, until his health failed. They then moved back to Auburn. Guy died in 1985, and Edna is still living. Lola married Forrest Beaty and they had four children: Naomi married Howard Alwood, and they live near St. Joe. They have a son, John, who is married and lives in Auburn. They have a daughter, Carolyn, married to Gerry Humbarger. They have two sons: Greg and Brian, both at home. Chalmer, married Mary Ellen Rude and are the parents of seven children: Sharon, Larry, Sue, Dan, Rick, Dawn, and Brenda. Chalmer is known as Mike. He and Mary Ellen live in St. Joe. Lola and Forest had twins, who died in infancy. Forrest worked at Auburn Auto for a number of years and at General Electric during the War. After George died, Forrest and Lola and their family moved to the farm and Allie lived with them for the remainder of her life. Israel lived on the family farm all his life. He was united in marriage to Rosela Morr. They were the parents of two daughters: Gladys married Fred Hull. She now lives in Defiance, Ohio, and Bessie Zeigler lives in Elkart, Indiana. Laura married Lester Cobler and they live in Auburn. Sadie married William Farmer and lives in Jackson Township. Maude married Charlie McCosh and they lived in Indiana for a while, then moved to Michigan, where they lived the remainder of their lives. They had one daughter, Hazel, and two sons, Harry and Harold. Lewis Layman, a cousin, had two daughters: Lula and Lucretia. Lula lived in Nebraska and Lucretia lived in Anderson, Indiana. In later years, Lew lived by himself on Uncle Israel's farm. He cut hair for all of the men that lived around the neighborhood. Uncle Henry, a brother of Philip and Aunt Mary Layman lived on a farm close to the church which was called "Sawdust Church." They are buried in the cemetery back of the church, which is known as Mt. Pleasant. Source - DeKalb County 1837-1987, Volume Two, DeKalb County Families, Edited by Troas May Wise.

Dan, I am a COBLER descendant,with plenty of family information.What is it that you are looking for? Ron

In Dekalb, these surnames are of Philip and Susan Fetter LAYMAN after 1850. The Source - DeKalb County 1837-1987, Volume Two, DeKalb County Families, Edited by Troas May Wise. Published by DeKalb Sesquicentennial, Inc. 1987 The most probable family name for submitting may have been Alwood or Humbarger. The others may have not continued to the 1980s. If anyone has knowledge of anyone related and still living, please email me. My connection is the brother of Susan Fetter, Henry who died in 1870 and is buried in the Morr Cemetery (another name for it is Coburn Cem.) Philip Layman's son Israel was married to Rosela Morr, perhaps connected to the same family namesake of the cemetery.

I am looking for information on Luther Weeks. The following is what I know. 1850 Census - Newville Twp. Luther Weeks 43 years old Farmer Born in NY Mary Weeks 44 years old Born Ct. Sarah Weeks 65 years old Born NY Sarah Weeks is again found in the 1870 Census living with Silas and Almira Bartlett. In a biography of Silas Bartlett it state his wife, Almira A. Weeks, is the daughter of Luther Weeks. There is a Luther Weeks who was married to a Sarah Benedict. on July 29, 1804. It is stated that he died in Newville, IN. However, he was born in 1776 in PA which does not fit. Does the Luther & Sarah have a son named Luther and, if so, when was he born and was it in New York? When did they come to DeKalb County? Any help would be appreciated. Gwen Majewski
