Harvy: I'm sorry, I don't have anything on James or Sarah. By the time of their marriage, I was looking in a specific twp of Wayne Co and hadn't had a need to search county-wide. If you haven't already, email a query to the Wayne Co Library. Outstanding staff and wonderful collection. -Jennifer http://www.wayne.lib.oh.us/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohwayne/library.htm http://wayne-health.org/wc_genealogy.html http://www.tomsnet.com/~barneyk/waynevet/toc.html <--New URL Veterans buried in Wayne Co.

Mary Hites b. m. 6/ 9/1831 Holmes Co, OH 1? Daniel Griffith b. /1840 Mary Ann Lowe b. m. 4/ 2/1864 Holmes Co, OH 2? William Griffith b. /1847 d. /1915 ? ? b. d. m. 1? Charles Porter Griffith b. (your great-uncle) Mary Kieffer b. m. Unfortunately, my info on both of these branches is rather skimpy :^( Google searches for "Charles Griffith" and "Kieffer", and "Daniel Griffith" and "Lowe" returned nothing. Neither did searches on the LDS site, and the Rootsweb Worldconnect site :^( The latter _did_ return the following on another son of Benjamin and Mary though: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1120600 &id=I53343838 Michael John GRIFFITH b: Aug 30,1853 in Holmes, Ohio A google search for "Griffith Hites" did return the following: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/4243/hites.htm which lists a Mary Hites 1812 - 1878 m. Benjamin Griffith 1814 - but the childen listed don't include either Michael or Daniel :^( So I'm CCing this to both the Holmes Co, OH list, and a couple of Lowe cousins in the hopes that somebody out there might have information on either branch. You might also want to poke around on my Kieffer page, but note that some of the links are broken and I haven't had time to update them yet :^( Regards, Ron Bauerle http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bauerle/kieffer/kieffer.htm ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 ______________________________
