Researching: GARD, YOUNG, STEWART, BRINER. Also: SOMMERFELD and REIMER connected to the David YOUNG line. I am new to this list, having been on it many years ago, I am looking for any information (dates, relatives, stories) on the following individuals. I wasn't sure if colors came through, but my direct line has an asterisk (*) by it. John H GARD : He married first, Amanda E. STEWART, the daughter of John M. STEWART and Miranda STEWART. John and Amanda married October 23, 1867. They had two children; Sarah M. born 1869 and John W, born November 19, 1870. In 1871, John and Amanda moved to Kansas, Amanda died in the spring of 1872. John remarried in 1876 to Martha Francis Matthews DAY. Resin M.(Reese) and Francis Marion (Frank) GARD were brothers of John H, who also moved to McPherson County, KS, after 1867. David YOUNG moved with his wife, Catherine HORNER YOUNG from PA to OH in between 1832 and 1834. Their sons George YOUNG, Samuel YOUNG and daughter Eliza YOUNG all married into the same THOMAS family, marrying brother/sisters. Any further information on the parents and children/families would greatly be appreciated. Son Daniel YOUNG (my line) moved from Ashland in 1876 to McPherson CO., Kansas.
