Wed i traded with Joseph (? Grant) a littl bought some cups plates one spider and then took Seline to "brother Tibbets" for her to keep. (Does anyone have information regarding this family or the possible indenture of Selina?) 20. on thur returned back to batavia fixed our things for home this evening the nabours came in to see me an our or so 21. Frid i took my love of my nabours and children and started for home but did not git home to night it was so dark we put up at Abraham medskers 2) Census 1820 Batavia Twp., Clermont Co., OH Name:   Mary Keezer Township: Batavia County: Clermont State:   Ohio Year:   1820 Roll: M33_89 Page: 85 Image Number: 51 free white males under 10 years of age: 1 (possibly Horris) free white males of 10 and under 16: 1 free white males of sixteen and under twenty, etc.: 2 free white females under 10: 1 (possibly Selina) free white females of 10 to 16: 1 free white females of 20 - 45: 1 (this would be Mary who married Oliver) 3) Oliver Harris and Mary Kezer were married 19 Dec 1821 by Elder Ichabod Temple "Mary Kezer, a widow from Batavia, Ohio" 4) Hezekiah Johnson, a son in law of Oliver Harris, spelled her name as Kezer in his Bible record although an earlier transcription of Oliver's diary spelled the surname as Herens. Mary Kezer, aka Herens, wife of Oliver, born about 1777, d. 15 Oct 1854, 77 yrs, bur 16 Oct 1854, 5) Names from either the Robert or the Oliver Harris diary: Mary Kezer Mary Dimmit Kezer & husband (possibly Charles Moor) Charles Moor & Mary Kezer came here from Batavia. Besly (? Betsy) and Timothy Kezer (Hermon B Fagley earlier wrote: 1826 Batavia twp property owners, but an asteric if no personal property, or absent or dead 1826 Timothy Keezer* in Wm Johnson's Va Military survey 1774 Near Batavia village) Horris & Selina (aka Seline) Charles and Helen Grant (Charles may have been related to Joseph Grant mentioned above) 6) from the Oliver Harris diary 1841 In late Sept. Oliver and Mary took a trip to Indiana to view land he had purchased, taking a northern route and returning a southern route. Oct 12. on Tu we came through the town of Shiveot (Cheviot) to Cincinnati & bought 5 dollars worth of Sunday school books & some groceries & came to Newtown & fed then came to Batavia & put up with 'my wife's daughter in law' & saw her grandchildren.
