My name is Eric Eyman and I am the newest member of the OHHURON mailing list. I am originally from Erie County but have many ancestors from Huron County, going back to at least the 1830's. My current quest is for information regarding Sumner Messenger, who was my great grand-father. If any one could provide assistance it would be greatly appreciated. What we know so far is listed below. . He was born about 1859, since the 1870 Census for Fairfield Township, Huron County, lists his age as 11. The same census has him living with Elizabeth, who we presume to be his Mother, age 29, and a younger brother age 7. We have no other information about who his parents were The 1880 Census has him, age 20, living with the family of Emery Carpenter. Emery's Father, Leonard is living just 3 houses away. Sumner's brother is living with the family of Samuel Harvey, just 2 houses away. Elizabeth Messenger is no longer to be found. Sumner married Elizabeth Carpenter, the daughter of Leonard Carpenter in October 1880. Their daughter Blanche was born on January 20, 1882. The 1900 Census has the family in Blackriver Township, Lorain County. Family records indicate that Sumner died in 1901. On the Huron County website I found "Huron County, OH Cemetery Inscriptions" published by The Huron County Chapter of OGS, 1997. This lists Sumner, his wife Elizabeth, and his Mother-in-law as listed on page 81. Does anyone have the actual text of that page?
