Mary~ Thanks for the suggestions. Checked the Civil War lists both Union and Confederate without luck. Tried many different spellings for all records searched. As an adult Margaret LIBENS practiced the Lutheran faith. I know she had a brother or 2 in the Civil War but again can't find any record. Participation was stated by word of mouth. If they were combatants on one side or the other, that would eliminate the Quaker religious affiliation I would think. The Ohio death records which we have only states Maryland and info the family already knew. It is the Maryland data and of course, John LIBENS German origins which elude us. Mary Ellen LIBENS Chambers
