I copied the index: Garver, 73, 411, 665, 777 The family I am looking for is not Samuel from NC and his son Leonard , but rather the John Garver and his sons who came from PA. The son Adam stayed in Butler co and married, some of his family owns Garver farms but are not interested in genealogy. I think John and His son John came to Butler co in the 1830 tax list from I think Montgomery co. John and Barbara his wife moved to Champaign co abt 1835 and he died there in 1837. Thanks for any help. Barbara ==== OHBUTLER Mailing List ==== Butler County Archives and Records Center - http://www.butlercountyohio.org/records/
