Posted on: Fayette Co. Oh Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Fayette/154 Surname: Bloomer, Allen, Smith ------------------------- Phoebe Bloomer was the daughter Nehemiah Bloomer. She had a brother William Bloomer. I descend from William through his son John Bloomer who married Anna Allen. Their daughter Sophronia Bloomer b. 1844 married John Smith. These were my Great-Great Grandparents. I have a copy of the book "History of Fayette County" by R.S. Dills which has information on Phoebe Bloomer who married Aaron Johnson. He was a Sheriff of Fayette County and also kept a hotel in Washington C.H. It says that Phoebe was a pioneer in the Millinery business and that they moved to Indiana. It doesn't mention a Jesse Worthington in that paragraph but that name appears elsewhere in the book as a State Representative for Fayette County. e-mail me at whittyfun@juno.com for more info.
