Hello, Kay, I assume you were addressing this question to me (although my name is not Susan). I am not from Fairfield County. My Fairfield County ancestors were named Tomlinson, Kauffmann / Coffman, and Beery. Brandt is an extended family surname, whom a relative married. The Brandts were apparently neighbors of my ancestors. When I traveled to Fairfield County a few years ago, to do genealogy research, I discovered that the road in Bloom Township that runs in front of the Coffman Cemetery (where my ancestors are buried) is named Brandt Road. I was told by a local resident that Brandt Road used to connect Kauffmann Road and Pickerington Road, and that Brandt Road was on the pony express and stagecoach mail route. Today, Brandt Road dead-ends just a short distance west of the Coffman Cemetery. I imagine your Brandt ancestors owned land along this road, and that is how the street originally got its name. If you want to find Brandt Road on a street or highway map (like MapQuest), it is southwest of Carroll, OH, and northeast of Greencastle, OH. Freeland is my married name. I do not know of any connection that my husband's family ever had to Fairfield County. Sorry.
