Hi Nancy, I am not sure about my WEHR's. I have a Fredrika Wehr b. 1856 who married an Unger. I find her widowed and living with her daughter, Freida, and son-in-law, James Nagala and children in the 1920 Census. Also, listed with them is Fred and Oliver WEHR, cousins, son of Christopher WEHR b. 1868, brother to Fredrika WEHR UNGER. There is another brother, Augustus WEHR b. 1870. They are all found in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. Their sister, Pauline R. WEHR b.1861, married Henry WESTERMANN in Cincinnati. They are my father's maternal Grandparents. Then to make you more confused. Elizabeth WEIGAND/WIEGAND married William NAGALA. Elizabeth is the daughter of August Otto WIEGAND and Katherine MEYER. They are my father's paternal Grandparents. I know the WEHR's are from Germany. They give conflicting dates of immigration. So I find them in the 1900 census and on from there. I have a picture of some of the WEHR's, UNGER, WESTERMANN, WIEGAND and LEGER. I have been trying to piece the family together for some time and have just discover some of the facts when I started hunting, again, for them. So I am not sure if we connect or not since I am not back as far as you are and then seem to have come from Germany in about 1860's but I know you cannot count on information in the census unless you can back it up with another record. I hope you don't mind but I am sending this to the list as well and hope someone knows what I don't. Take care, Judy Wiegand Minihan

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. There was another email I wrote, explaining what the signs were, that did not come through. The pictures were of a plaque and signs placed in the cemetery by the historical society explaining what the church WAS that used to be there many, many years ago.

Hi Gary, You are doing a wonderful job. I really appreciate what you are doing as are many of the other listers. I would like a lookup for WEIGAND, p.704. Also, when time is available, MURPHY, several pages, and the MEIER, MAIER and MEYER and several spellings. No hurry on these. Thank you for doing the WEHR's, also, part of my line. I didn't see anything on NAGALA or NAGLE but if you find anything let me know. Thank you in advance, Judy Wiegand Minihan

I am descendant of Liggetts who lived in Middletown in the early 1800s and wonder if anyone associated with the Clawsons has any more information about Lydia Ligett mentioned below as marrying William B. Clawson in 1855. I think my ancestor, James Liggett from County Armagh migrated to Middletown to join a brother there, who may have been named Thomas.

One of the leading agriculturists of his locality, it has been the fortune of John BROSIUS to have realized many of his worthy ambitions and through the exercise of good judgment and business sagacity to have wrested from his opportunities financial and general success.

In his work he is ably assisted by his only son, Corwin BROSIUS, who was born December 15, 1895, a graduate of the Hamilton high school, and a progressive and enterprising young agriculturist who has many friends throughout the vicinity of the home farm. He, like his father, is a Republican, and the elder man has taken an active and intelligent interest in t! > ownship affairs for many years, although rather as a good citizen and > a supporter of worth-while and beneficial movements than as a seeker for personal preferment at the hands of his party or his fellow-citizens.

After more reading I think you're right. I didn't think they went by the Old School name that long ago. But they did. They are currently known as Primitive Baptists. ----- Original Message ----- From: Norma Adams To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 9:23 PM Subject: Re: [OHBUTLER-L] O S Baptist Church I think I found it.

I have seen some old Baptist Churches referred to as Open Study or Open Speaker Baptists. Just a thought. The info at the Elk Creek Baptist cemetery we were talking about doesn't make any mention of OS or what type Baptist church it may have been. I'm not sure the Old Southern Baptists were around that long ago.
