Mary, Thank you with your offer. There really ought to be some way which works from this pc as I have many for whom I search. These are the 4 main names. I know for sure they died in Columbus or right outside of it. VONVILLE, VONWILLE, VON VILLE all 3 names used, ALL in Franklin County. No matter the spelling they are related and come from 2 brothers, no others with this name moved to Columbus area. Seeking all, all are relatives. Came 1889. FEARING Minnie Fearing married George Eli BROWN and Joseph A. GEORGE; her FEARING father and siblings also were in Franklin County, so, searching any and all FEARING. GRIFFTON GRIFTON Earl, his brother Ralph and whoever his parents were, and other siblings, if any. Supposedly they were rich. Supposedly he married Mabel/Mable/Minnie/Annabelle BROWN (daughter of Minnie FEARING BROWN GEORGE) and had a child between 1904 and 1908. (she later married _*___GIBERSON and had 9 children by him.)
