Hi Rex: Thanks, once more, for helping me out. Your info led me to the following for the Reynard family: Adam Reynard born in 1764 in Germany married Catherine Stover. They had 15 children, one of whom was Jeremiah born 1789 Franklin, VA/or Pennsylvania. He married Sarah Howell. Their son Nathan married Eliza Ann Griffin and their son, Granville was the subject of the posting on the Reynard family in "Portrait & Biographical Record, Randolph County, IN" by A. W. Bowen that Ida Anderson shared with the list. Another son of Adam & Catherine was Solomon born 1798 married to Rachel Green. Their son was Isaac born 1821 who married Lydia Barker and their son was the Jesse C. Reynard you found on the census records who married a Keys family member that ties back to my husband's line. Another son of Solomon & Rachel Green was Jesse who married Anna Diggs. Their son, Thomas C. has been the topic of the most recent postings on the list. From what I could gather, he was born October 26, 1848 in White River Township, served in the Civil War for the Union from 11/26/1864 to 7/19/1865 as a Private in Company C of the 9th Indiana Calvary Regiment. One record showed he died on June 3, 1906 but I found no spouse or family listed for him. If anyone knows if I am missing anything or have the wrong data, please advise - Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rex Bertram" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 7:48 PM Subject: Re: [INRANDOL] Reynard Family > Hi Karen.
