OH Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey?read=1017 Surname: Banker, Barger, Frame, Worthing ------------------------- I show Seldon Banker as Seldon Jacob "Jake" Banker; his sister Amanda Banker Phillips was my gg-gmother. I've also seen him listed as Seldon O., don't really know which is correct. He was born 23 Dec 1843 in Wheeling Twp., Guernsey Co., Ohio. His parents were Jacob and Mary Cecelia (Good) Banker; he was the ninth of ten children: Julia, m. Lewis Stephenson; George Washington m. Cythia Mitchell; Eliza Jane, m. Isaac Marlatt; Amanda, m. Thomas Phillips; Lemuel or Lemon, m. Mary Ann Baker; Louisa, m. Robert Mitchell (not a brother of Cythia); Robert Cook, m. 1) Elizabeth McKee and 2) Sarah (McKeag) Smith; Catherine, m. 1) Reuben Malone and 2) Allen Meskimen; Seldon Jacob; Mary Cecelia, m. Paul Sherrard. Jake married Jane Bargar on 3 Oct 1866 in Guernsey Co. They had several children; I found three in the Guernsey Co. Birth records: Julia, b. 20 Dec 1869 in Wheeling Twp., who m. D. E. Reed; Abraham Victor, known as "Vick", b. 30 Jan 1873 in Wheeling Twp.; and John Lemuel, b. 25 July 1878 in Wheeling Twp. Another researcher, Bertha Welker of New Concord, Ohio, shows another child, John Abram, b. in 1868. He married Nora Kohler. Bertha also shows that Vick was killed by a train on 23 Jan 1913. Jake Banker died 11 Apr 1910; Jane died 29 Mar 1915. I don't have a date for when they moved to Madison Co., Iowa, but it must have been after 1878, based on the birth records. Do you have anything more on J E Worthing? I don't have anything on Anna Frame, but I did find a Davis A. Frame, 1811-1871. He was married to Jane Heslip on 23 June 1859, and is buried in the old Kimbolton Cemetery in Liberty Twp., Guernsey Co. Hopoe this helps! Pat
