Many thanks with these Bests, Nancy! I have another area where the Sickles/Sickels name married into the Hamler family.

Best, s/o George E. and Mary (Hamilton) Best and brother of Matilda Best who married Jesse Sickles. Daniel's wife was Sarah M. Case. It's possible your John and this Daniel's father, George, are brothers but I have no proof.
