Karen, Thank you so much for all the work you did. This doesn't appear to be my Sarah Beery. My Sarah Beery was b abt 1846 to Samuel Beery & Ann Jones. I believe Ann had previously been married to Samuel Matlack. A Nancy Jones m Samuel Matlack in 1823. Mrs. Ann Matlack m Samuel Beery in 1840 in Fairfield. Samuel Beery was a merchant in Lancaster. He was in the dry goods, then the grocery business. They are listed on the 1850 census in Lancaster with a son Charles, age 6, and and a son Lawrence 5/12. Sarah is not listed on this census, but appears in 1860. In 1860 they are still in Lancaster with Charles 16, Sarah 14, and Lawrence, 10. Ellen Elder, school teacher, and Margaret Brown, domestic servant are also in their household. By 1870 Samuel is deceased. Ann is the head of household, and Lawrence age 20 is living with her. Also living with her is Ann's mother Margaret Jones, age 98. Margaret's obit identifies Ann Beery as her daughter. By 1880 Ann is living with her son Charles in Chillicothe,Ross Co., OH. Charles is 40, a telegraph operator, has a wife Josephine, and his mother Ann Beery age 74 is living with him. Also in the household is Josephine Snyder, 5, niece, and a domestic servant. I lose Charles after 1880; Lawrence after 1870; Ann after 1880; and Sarah after 1860. Samuel Beery d in 1867. He was b abt 1800 in VA. Ann Jones Beery is the dau of John and Margaret Hollenback Jones. She, too, was b in VA. John Jones was living and signed a deed in 1827 but is not on the 1830 census. Margaret Hollenback Jones was b abt 1771 in VA [probably Hampshire Co.] and d in June 1870 in Lancaster, Fairfield Co., OH at the home of her dau Ann Beery. I don't know if this family is part of the Beery family detailed in the Beery book. Thank you so much for trying to help me!

Karen Hoch, Kansas, a Beery descendant ----- Original Message ---- From: LouAnn Cameron <lspyres1@suddenlink.net> Do you have any additional info about the Sarah Jane Beery who m George James Bohrer? I have a Sarah Beery in my file with parents, an approximate birth date of 1846. I have no spouse or children for her. Her family lived in Lancaster, Fairfield Co., OH through the 1870 census, but Sarah isn't listed with them in 1870. I do not have a marriage for her. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to OHFAIRFI-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
