Mostly in Allen, Darke, counties and in Sidney Ohio. They are linked to Todd, Wallace, Marsh. My father's name is Samuel Willis Cullen-married to a woman named Francis till she died in 1974-with a son named Samuel Joseph Cullen---Then dad married my mother-Carolyn Sue Marsh. There were 4 of us from that marriage. We were all born in Allen County, Lima, Ohio. My father died in May 1986 having never told us about his family. I was adopted out in 1988. I have found out that he was one of ten children. One of his brothers--Thomas H. Cullen-married to Dorothy Louise Wallace--who died in 1973--then he married a woman named Esther---she was a very large woman and she died of a quadruple heart attack but I am not sure when. Then he married one of his sister-in-laws (or so I was told)--Rose Wallace. Uncle Tom passed away in 1986 also. I know that he had 12 children. I got to meet most of them at his funeral. Both boys were born to a Samuel B. Cullen and a Cora Mae Todd. I found this out from my father's birth certificate. The other children of Samuel and Cora are-- Seth b. 1907 (married to a Bessie b. 1895 and they had a son named William around 1927), Adeline b.1909 (who was married to a Lawrence Harsh? , according to the 1930 census), Gladys b. 1911 (who was married at sometime to a Smith and they had a son named Robert who was born around 1928), Louis b. 1912, Sylvester b. 1920, Virginia b. 1921, Betty b. 1926, and Martha Jean b. 1929. According to the 1930 Census they lived in Allen County, Lima, Ohio. I would really like to find the rest of my family. I am 28 years old and don't really know where I come from. I want to know my family and hope that someone can help me find my roots. If you can help me please email me. I am trying to put together the missing peices of my family.
