    1. [OHGUERNS] REED/CUNNINGHAM/EDWARDS/WILSON & Lewis B. KINGSBERRY
    2. Hi, Faith, On the Guernsey County Ohio GenWeb Project web page, I see you had submitted a list of the students, who had attended the first school built in Washington Twp. (1825). Some of the students are listed singly, while others are listed together on a single line and also share the same surname. Are all the students, who are listed together on a single line siblings, or might some of those listed together just simply share the same surname? For example, your ancestors Ambrose, Benjamin, Margaret & William REED are listed together on one line. They would all be the children of John S. REED and Ellen CUNNINGHAM. Yet, the student John REED is listed separately 2 lines down. Is this John the brother of those mentioned above or perhaps their cousin? I'm asking because I'd like to know if John EDWARDS, who is listed beside Lewis EDWARDS, is Lewis's brother. Lewis EDWARDS is my 3rd great grandfather. In addition, 2 lines down from Lewis EDWARDS, Elisabeth WILSON (who might be the one who is my 3rd great grandmother) is listed together with William, Bazzil, & Rachel WILSON. Knowing this tidbit of information would greatly increase my number of "found" ancestors, and would give me some great leads. Thanks so much for your time and for answering my previous questions. Susan Petty P.S. It was interesting to note that Lewis B. KINGSBERRY, the first teacher at the first school in Washington Twp., was also the Justice of the Peace for Lewis EDWARDS' and Elizabeth WILSON's wedding, according to their marriage record, March 29, 1838.
