If you would like to forward your phone #, will call L/D on questions I have yours, George Ginger. >> Hi George, Here's all I can offer you on your GINTERs and PLANKs from a search I made through our 28 Huron County, Ohio publications. I couldn't find a direct reference to the maiden name of Roseanna who married William GINTER (then, presumably, married Jacob PLANT after GINTER's death), but some of these findings might lead you to this information. According to the 1850 Census index, Roseanna (Rosena) PLANT was born ca 1800 in Germany. Jacob PLANT, then her husband, was born ca 1778 (or ca 1776 according to his cemetery inscription) in PA. According to estate papers, William GINTER died ca 1838. 1. Early Estate Index, Huron County, Ohio, 1812-1852, by HCC/OGS, 1992. William GINTER, Estate, Dec. 1838.
