Would you be so kind as to check for John J. Didion in Vol l Page 418 in A. J. Baughman History of Huron Co., Oh. 1909 for the names of the five children listed for John Didion and Sophia. I believe one of these children to be Christian and another his brother Martin. I appreciate your taking time to do this as I have been looking for Christian m. Margaret Baker for some time. Thank you for your time and consideration. Mary Twigger >> Hi Mary, Here is what I found in our History of Huron County, Ohio, by A.J. Baughman, 1909: Vol. 1, Page 421. Biographical sketch on John J. DIDION. This item mentions that John DIDION, Sr., the father of John J. DIDION, and Sophia (BASHOB) DIDION had five children: Peter; John J.; Barbara (the widow of Frank Koenig); Christopher; and Martin. Later in the same item: (John J.) DIDION m. Rosella HERMAN on 6 Feb 1866. They had sixteen children: Mary; John & Frank (twins); Charles; August; Martin & Sophia (twins); Elizabeth; Rosa; Cecilia; Susan; Henry; Andrew; William; and two who died in infancy.
