> I need help with me Gosnell line from Ohio. My Gosnell/ Gosnold line > lived in Ohio from atleast 1820-1860s. Putnam Co. from atleast 1844 till 1860. They may have lived in Athens County and Guernsey county as well. Nicholas Gasnil 1820 Athens Co, Nicholas Gosnel 1830 Guernsey Co. John J. Gosnell was my GGG-GF and his mother was Sarah McIntire Gosnell. In 1844 Sarah > re-married and we don't really know what happended to her first husband > Nicholas Gosnell but we do know that she married William JENKINS on 9 Nov 1844 in Putnam County Ohio. William had atleast two daughters: Harriet Jane Jenkins and Carolina Jenkins. Harriet and my John J Gosnell married on 13 Mar 1849 in Putnam and Carolina or Caroline married Jackson Brower in 1855. Harriet Jenkins Gosnell died in June 1853 in Kalida and John died there on> 2 Sept 1858. I would like to identify where they are buried. Possibly Hughes Cemetery but that is just a guess. I would also like to find out what happened to William Jenkins. He did not go to Illinois in 1860 with the rest of my family. > There is a William Jenkins mentioned in the Kalida Venture Newspaper dated 7 Jun 1853, Vol 1, Pg 24. Criminal Docket. And there is a william Jenkins buried in Pomeroy Cemetery in Blanchard TWP 7 July 1888. Would like to know if this is my Jenkins. > > > > The following information came from Ruth Gosnell Lathrop who is a > grandaughter to Benjamin Frank, younger brother to John J. Gosnell.
