Hi, I have come across the Van Scoy family in Huron county but not related. Anyway, I noticed you mention Sally MEAD in your query and I wondered if you have ever come across a Seth Mead? Miranda (M.J.) GREEN born Greenwich twp., Huron Co., OH. Miranda married Seth MEAD in Ohio. At the time her parents lived in Huron Co., OH. May have died before 1869 in Mason, Ingham Co., MI? Her parents moved to Livingston Co., MI. And other family members moved to other MI counties. thanks, bonnie ______________________________Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 01:24:57 EDT From: Vsk03@aol.com To: MIHILLSD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: D. G. FANCHER and daughter Gwendolyn, 1942 The 1942 minutes of the VanScoy-Knapp reunion say "Those present from a distance were - Mr. & Mrs. D. G. Fancher & daughter Gwendolyn of Hillsdale, Mich . . ." I can't place this family. Mary Ann VAN SCOY, daughter of Abraham Van Scoy and his wife Mary Knapp, was born in New York, probably Westchester County, in 1816. She married in 1833, in Huron County, Ohio, William FANCHER, son of Thaddeus Fancher and his wife Sally MEAD. They were living in Greenwich Township, Huron County, Ohio, in 1850 and 1860 and in Camden Township, Hillsdale County, Michigan in 1870 and 1880. They had 2 sons, Thaddeus William born 1839 and George born 1848, and 6 daughters. Thaddeus William Fancher and wife Ermina Griffin were living in Lorain, Ohio, in 1880. They had two children, a son Elvadore and a daughter Millicent Alfre. Elvadore was born in 1864. He married Harriet L. SCHROEDER. He appears on a list of "members not attending" the 1907 VanScoy-Knapp reunion as "Mr. Elvador R. Fancher 1902 East 93st Cleveland Ohio". I don't know whether they had children. George Fancher was born in 1848. At the 1870 census he was living in Camden Township, Hillsdale County, Michigan, with his father William Fancher. At the 1880 census he was a widower living with his daughters Mary (age 7) and Adah (age 5) next door to his father and step-mother. I don't know anything about him after 1880. (I don't think he is the George A. Fancher in Springport Township, Jackson County, Michigan, in the 1910 census.) Am I missing a Fancher line from William and Mary Ann (Van Scoy) Fancher?
