Thought I would post the names of those men who had biographies in the History of Wayne Co., Illinois who were born in these parts of Ohio. Many people from this area ended up there and it seems that particularly Bedford Township, Wayne Co., had more from this area so you might check for your lost ancestors there. The list names the person who the biography is on, their birth date and their birthplace. Elias S. Ayles, October 7, 1881, Washington Co., OH Francis Bean, February 15, 1845, Athens Co., OH John Morris, September 14, 1836, Monroe Co., OH McK Sunderland, May 15, 1844, Belmont Co., OH Levi M.
