My first post to OHERIE. I know nothing about Erie County except that in 1808, when it was Huron County, some men including a Nathaniel BURDUE came from PA in a crude boat full of Moonshine and farming gear and landed somewhere in or around what is now Milan Township. Nat settled shortly after in Berlin (Heights, now)at a place that was to be, in 1976, the home of a fellow named Gary Limbird on East Main Street. I suspect old Nat as being my 3G Grandfather, and of course need to know more of him including, of course, his wife's name and their offspring. He was about 89 when de died in 1837, so if he had any children with him in Berlin, they were probably born back in PA. I'm anxiously waiting to GET some posts from this group. Thanks, Dave Bardue
