Diane, Diana has already made a thorough search and given very good advice but may I make an observation? Online researchers seem to agree that (1) Susan T. Ludlow was the daughter of William D. Ludlow a pioneer of Hamilton Co and that he is buried there. (2) A researcher states that there is an extensive sketch about Mr Ludlow in the History of Hamilton Co. It indicates also that he was an active member of The Christian Church. Diane I'd suggest you look at this Illustrated History of Hamilton for clues to William Sturgis I'd suggest also you check records of the cemetery where William Ludlow is buried to see if William Sturgis is also there. Lastly, I'd check to see if there is a repository for the records of The Christian Church to which Mr Ludlow belonged. Beverlee ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.
