Hi, I am trying to locate a piece of property once called the "Bear Farm", located (according to a military deposition by Christopher Columbus Martin 11 April 1894) "NW of Kalida, Putnam County Ohio about three miles". Buried on this farm were Obed Martin who died 12 October 1848 and his daughter Mary Ann (Martin) White, who died before Dec 1864, and was the wife of Joshua S.White. Joshua remarried Mary C.Good Dec. 17 1864. Children of Mary and Joshua : Barbara Ann White b abt 1844 Jerimiah White b. abt 1845, James White b. abt 1847, and Calvin S, White b abt 1849. A list of Putnam County OH Marriages posted on the OHGenWeb Project shows a John Bear & Dorcas White m 21 April 1853. Are any of you decendants of these Bears,Whites or Martins, that could give me a clue to the whereabouts of these gravesites? The Martin's are my line and I have quite alot of info on them, but I believe I need to find out more about the Bears and Whites in Putnam County during the 1800's to fill in some of the blanks. Thanks in advance for any help you have to offer. Penny Go Get It! Send FREE Valentine eCards with Lycos Greetings http://greetings.lycos.com
