    2. Letha Chunn-Mendivil
    3. I am seeking information on the surnames CHUNN, GRIMES, CURRAN, CARSON, and KIMBLE in the area of Sprigg Twp., Adams County, OH. Robert Henry Chunn married Sarah (Sally) Grimes in 1822 in Adams County. They had the following children: Thomas Reed, Charles, Mary Ann, William Grimes, Sally Ann, and John Brookover. Thomas Reed Chunn lived in Brown County, Aberdeen Twp., as did his son Robert N. Chunn, and then moved to Maysville, Macon County, Kentucky. William Grimes Chunn married Levenia Ruth Curran in Adams County about 1873, and had the following children: William Beam, Clyde, Gertrude, and Raymond Clifton. Clyde died at abt. age 2. Gertrude married a Pownall. William Beam Chunn was my grandfather. He married (1) Sarah Jane Carson and (2) Ethel Lydia Reed. I'm descended from the second marriage. >From family stories, I understand that the Chunn family lived right on the Ohio River in a two-story house, with a skiff tied to the porch to get out in case of floods. Nearby neighbors included a Frank Kimble, b. abt 1873, who was not only the same age as my grandfather, William Beam Chunn, but a best friend. The two of them often went hunting, etc., together. I have a picture of my nattily dressed grandfather and one other man. I think that the other man may be this Frank Kimble. My aim in posting this message is to find both descendants and surnames of the above-mentioned people, and also to perhaps connect with descendants of Frank Kimble who might like a copy of the picture I have and could possibly help with identification. I am seeking any information available about the life and times of these ancestors. Thanks for your help! Sincerely, Letha Chunn-Mendivil
