Jacob Stuter born before or abt. 1820 died before 1850 Thurston, Ohio. He married Harriet Chamberlain May 21, 1839. Every researcher has a brick wall that at one time in their years of research allude their efforts to trace a family member. This brick wall continues as the years drag on with no futher information about him coming to light. Every day new transcriptions are opening up and different records are made available to break down brick walls for people. More and more of us help each other. Is there anyone out there who lives in the Thruston, OH area or has information on that area that could check out Jacob Stuter for me. I have the census from 1840 showing him and Harriet living together both twenty and under thirty. I have information showing he got a land grand: Name: Jacob Stuter Land Office: ZANESVILLE Document Number: 8049 Total Acres: 80 Signature: Yes Canceled Document: No Issue Date: 1 Apr 1837 Metes and Bounds: No Statutory Reference: 3 Stat. 566 Multiple Warantee Names: No Act or Treaty: April 24, 1820 Multiple Patentee Names: No Entry Classification: Sale-Cash Entries Land Description: 1 W½NW US MILITARY SURVEY No 4 N 6 W 21 ----------------------------- While reading I found this info on the Ohio Historical site: Cholera struck Columbus in 1849, producing a panic in the city. Columbus is very close to Baltimore, OH. He was my gr-gr-grandfather and I would love to find him after all these years.
