There were GARVERs in the area of Champaign & Clark Counties in Ohio in the 1800s. I find some marriages into the ROHRER family -- they lived primarily in Mad River Twp, Champaign Co, and a bit south, in the vicinity of Tremont and Tipp City. I remember my grandparents mentioning friends/ relatives by the name of GARVER. I don't live in that area any more so I can't really check into this for you very well, but I could forward your query to the Clark-Champaign Co List? Let me know quickly if you'd like me to do so though. I'll be away from my computer for several days later this week.

I monitor this list for a lady who is descended from Melchior Miers, a butcher who was living in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky around 1800. His children, born in the 1790's, are believed to be: Caty Miers md. Francis KRINKLE Henry Miers md. Lydia WALL Christina Miers md. Thomas McQUILLEN Mary Magdalena Miers md. Isaac (?) SALYERS and William SALLEE Barbara "Barbary" Miers - probably did not marry Sarah Miers md. Silas McDERMID And there was a Christopher Miers, who might have been a brother to Melchior. I've lost my note, but I believe Melchior was a member of a German Lutheran Church in Lexington. Anyone know where Melchior came from or know any more about him?
