Hello to all on the List My husband's John Himes was born in PA, Hanover Twp, Oct 12, 1763. He left PA about 1787 and settled in Fayette Co, KY near Lexington, KY, However at that time, Fayette Co, KY may have been still VA. He was there about 8 years and had about 6 children (we are on vacation in Corpus Christi TX with a daughter so I am not sure exactly) However his first son was Samuel b. abt 1789. The family came to Dayton, OH about 1805 and John Himes bought land in Washington Co. OH. I have searched extensively to find the name of his wife, but no records found so far. When John died in 1813 there were several minor children, and even though the wife was alive, a Guardian by the name of Joseph Colman was named (Coleman). Does anyone know anything about the Coleman/Colman families or Heim/Himes in Dayton, OH.in order that I might find where John and his unknown wife are buried, and or the name of his wife. Many of the Himes family is buried at David Cemetery along with the Swadners, and Creagers, and Shroyers, all related, but nothing on John Himes 1763=1813. Thanks in advance , for any help.
