Hess 28 Dec, 1887. Children were; Ollie b. 1889; Pearl b. 1890; Nellie E. b. 1897. All born in Richland Co., Ohio. Any info appreciated. >> First of all let me introduce myself as I've just joined the list. I'm Cindy Palmer, and my dad's side is mostly Quakers that stuck around in Pennsylvania (all the way down to me!) so I have a lot of their info, but am doing more primary research on my mom's side--her grandmother was a Kohler. I have many Kohler direct ancestors in Ashland County OH, adjacent to (and formed partly from) Richland County. What follows is my line down from the first one I know of to the last direct ancestor by that name. I believe I got most of my information at the Mennonite Information Center in Lancaster PA, but that was before the birth of my almost 4-year-old, an event that led to my dropping most of my research for almost 4 years ;-), so I am a little rusty right now. Also, I'm leaving on a trip today....but will answer any questions about the below when I get back next week! Let me know if there are any connections, or any more information, or if I got anything wrong! --Cindy Palmer Descendants of Hans/John Philip Kohler 1.
