    1. [OHHURON-L] Stevens "near Tiffin"

    3. I am looking for information on a my gr. grandmother Abbie Stevens. Abbie was born in 1840 in Ohio "near Tiffin". This has been a most difficult line for my research. Even in visiting the city of Tiffin, Ohio I found nothing. The family had at least two children. The older was Melissa, and the younger sister was 'Abbie', possibly Abagail on birth records. I know positively that these two are sisters. I believe there was a brother named Henry. I have a mention in some papers of an "Uncle Hank" who was a Civil war soldier as a young man. The also may be a Joel and one more brother. I have absolutely nothing on the parents. Melissa, spelled with two l's and/or two s's , went to Wisconsin to live. I do not know if she married there, or was married in Ohio. She married a Garry L. Judson. After a couple years, Abbie traveled to join her sister in Wausau. She left by train to Madison, and then on farther in a stage coach to Wausau. She was married there to Peter B. McKellar. I believe a family named Davis was related to them, but have no idea how. I have some photos, some of Davis and names, and others have no names on them. I also wondered if anyone knew the different counties that Tiffin was located in, from say 1838 to present. Was it part of Huron Co. at one time. This might prove valuable to me in this search. I have had this data for what seems like 20 years and this last line has proven the hardest for me. If anyone could help me out in this search I would greatly appreciated it. Thank You, Nelson Porter nporter@tir.com
