Hello, I am a descend through Daniel HERROLD b. 1782 Westmoreland, PA, d. 1829, near Evansville, Indiana. Married 1) Catherine Rhodes in Pennsylvania, issue: Catharine b 1811 in Washington, PA, maried Nathaniel MATHENY 29 Oct 1828, Athens, OH; Barbara b 1813, PA d. 1868, Athens, OH. m. Thomas WILSON 6 Aug 1835, Athens, OH;Mary (Polly) b 1815 PA, married either Sewell or Samuel PORTER (they were brothers, and I have seen both names listed as her spouse) 5 apr 1835, Athens, OH;Daniel Rhodes b 1818, Athens d. 1888 Sac, Iowa m. Harriet HERROLD (1st cousin) 15 Mar 1839 Athens, Ohio. Married 2) Elizabeth HARPER (dau of Charles HARPER and Ann COOK) b abt 1800. married 30/31 Aug 1820 Athens OH. (After Daniel's death Elizabeth married Elijah Pilcher). Issue: Sophia b 1825, Athens, d. 1903 LaPorte, IN, married George ALLISON; Benjamin Franklin b 1827 Athens, d 1893 LaPorte, IN, married Lucy Marilla CLEMENT 12 Jun 1856 in LaPorte, IN. (This is my line of descent.); Joanna b abt 1822 Athens, married Charles GALEZIO 18 Sep 1838, Athens, Ohio. Does anyone out there connect? I know Daniel and his brother, Christopher are mentioned in several History books. They played a large part in the early building up of Athens County. I have the HERROLD line back to the early 1600's in Germany and am willing to share this data. I have done the work myself and know it is accurate as I searched through the old German Church Records via Microfilm. The Harper's are also mentioned in a few books. The immigrant was William Harper. He died 24 Dec 1830 in Athens County. His wife was Elizabeth. They had 7 known children. Their son Charles married Ann COOK parents unknown. They had 8 children, of whom one was Elizabeth. I am interested in all the children and their spouses. I am particularly drawn to the BARKER line. Two of William HARPER's daughters married BARKER brothers. Isabella HARPER married Michael BARKER, 1 Apr 1801, in Athens and her sister, Christinia married Isaac BARKER 10 Apr 1804 in Athens. Will share whatever I have with those researching these lines. Thanks! Linda DeFrees Franks Soda Springs, Idaho [email protected] [email protected]
