    2. Paul Rabe
    3. In 1958, Ruth Shull Brown of Logan OHIO published an exhaustive genealogy of the descendants of Frederick Jacob Shull (1778-1862) and Anna Barbara Weidner (1781-1848), who came to Lancaster OHIO from Dobel, Wurtemberg about 1840. It includes descriptions of their emmigration; as well as dates of births, deaths, and marriges. It includes complete genealogies for the next three generations; and for seven generations through their son Mathias Shull (i.e, all 253 of Mathias' gr-grandchildren!). A copy of this book was given to a distant relative of mine in the early 1960's; after we connected for the first time a couple months ago, he sent me a photocopy of his original. As my copy is quite smeared, the only way I can transfer its words is to re-type them. I can answer specific questions on specific people OR I can send a summary of the first three generations to anyone who is interested. One thing to note is that Ms. Brown gave absolutely no references for the dates she wrote down, she only stated them to be correct. I know some of the facts she lists are wrong; but, overall, she did an excellent job. A copy of this book absolutely belongs in the Fairfield County Genealogy Library; but, unless someone can find who presently owns the copyright, I cannot make a copy of it or re-type its information directly. Amongst the children and in-laws of Frederick and Anna were: Mathias Shull (1801-1879)and Christiana Weidner (1805-1879), Christina Elizabeth Shull (1808-1847) and John Phillip Ruff (1802-1851), George Frederick Shull (1812-1853) and Susan Catherine Wahl (1819-?), Johann Martin Shull (1814-1887) and Louisa Wahl (1822-1896), John Jacob Shull (1819-1905) and Phillipina Fautz (1824-1909). Amongst the other names mentioned in the first three generations are Daubenmier, Shaw, Schwenkel, Burris, Schamding, Sigler, Kull, Baumann, Blum, Shoemaker, Miller, Paulis, Hart, and Zimmerman.
