Good luck in your hunting. Sandy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JOSIAH HAWN, farmer, P. O. Kenton, was born April 28, 1837, in Union County, this State, and is a son of John W. and Charlotte (McNier) Hawn, the former a native of Virginia and of English descent, the latter a native of Pennsylvania.

This union has resulted in six children, viz., Matilda (deceased), John W. (deceased). Thomas, Phebe. and Sarah L., the wife of William Kelly; and Florence, wife of William Madora.

The only information that I have is from a Hardin County History... "Andrew Ulin was one of the founders of the Christian Church in the NW corner of section 34 of Hardin Co OH; organized about 1843. About 1844-45 society erected log church edifice; A.J. replaced his father Benjamin as deacan of the church. The society was large and prosperous until large number of their members moved west." Some of the questions that I have are: -I do not have a plat map. About here is/was this church? -Was the actual denomination Christian, or some other Christian religion? -Does this church still exist? Either actual, replaced, or in a different location? -Would there be any records kept by this church and where would be the best opportunity of finding them? -Does anyone know of any old photographs of this church? Those are all the questions I can think of now, but if anyone has any other information as well, I would be very grateful as well. Thank you. Johnny Ulin Milo IA julin@crosspaths.net
