My father passed away earlier this month and in going through some of his things I found a copy of my great grandfather's marriage certificate from Huron County Ohio. John E. Wheaton (E is for Edward) Ellen S. Haskell (I don't know her middle name) Married on December 21, 1878. I don't know how many children they had, according to my father's birth certificate, my Grandfather, Floyd Haskell Wheaton, was born in Huron Ohio on 3/2/1885. I believe he had a brother, Howard, that was born in Huron around 1880. Any help that will point me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jarel Haskell Wheaton >> Hi Jarel, Apart from the record of the marriage of John E. Wheaton, I could find no other references to John or Floyd WHEATON in our Huron County, Ohio publications. However, I did find some references to HASKELL which might relate to your HASKELL forebears. There is, for example, a HASKELL family, including an Ellen HASKELL, which appears in our 1870 Census Index to Huron County, Ohio. Details: 1. Huron County, Ohio Marriages, by Scheuer Publications, 1992. John E. WHEATON m. Ellen S. HASKELL 24 Dec 1878. Book 3, Page 86. Hattie HASKALL m. R. M. WILLEY 28 Jul 1870. Book 2, Page 221. Anna C. HASKELL m. Robert R. MERRIAM 14 Jun 1882. Book 4, Page 2. Anna HASKILL m. J.B. BRADLEY 21 Dec 1881. Book 3, Page 377. (See also item 2, below). (If you wanted copies of these records, you could write to Probate Court, Huron County, Courthouse, 2 E. Main St., Norwalk, OH 44857.) 2. 1870 Census Index, Huron County, Ohio. The following HASKELLs appear on census page 524, Ridgefield Township. Read first name, age and place of birth. Annie, 12, OH Ellen, 15, OH George, 18, OH George, 52, Eng. Hattie, 26, Eng. Kitty, 22, Eng. Wm. Henry, 25, Eng. (From the above assumed birth years, it would appear that this family may have come from England to the U.S. sometime ca 1848-1852.) 3. 1880 Census Index, Huron County, Ohio.

( While no Floyd WHEATON is listed in this book, the birth date for this "Infant Male" WHEATON comes close to the birth date you gave for Floyd WHEATON (3/2/1885). No Howard WHEATON is listed either, but there is also listed another "Infant Male" WHEATON with birth date of 09/10/1879, Vol. 1, Page 166 -----possibly Howard?????).
