Hi! I have the seemingly impossible task of trying to find a surname. The following is information that I know: a.. Lovina was born 1802 in Rochester, Beaver County, Pennsylvania that is the information from death certificate in Huron County, Ohio, no parents listed. b.. Lovina married Johnston REA. Where I do not know. I do have her as the wife on deeds starting in 1838. c.. Lovina is not on the 1850 census with Johnston REA. The wife's name is listed as Melissa. d.. Lovina shows up on the 1860, 1870, and 1880 census as Johnston REA's wife. e.. The death certificate for Johnston's daughter lists a Melissa EMMONS as the mother. f.. I have a marriage certificate for Elizabeth JOHNSTON/Johnston REA, from Lorain County, Ohio, with the date of April 25, 1833. g.. I know from the obituary that Johnston REA emigrated from Ireland in 1818, first going to New Brunswick, Canada, then to PA before settling in OH. He does not show up in the book (kindly looked up by a lady I found on the Beaver County site) of PA Immigrants. h.. I have posted to the Beaver County site. I believe that I have 'covered all my bases' in my search for Lovina's surname. I would appreciate any other avenues to pursue. If it would be possible to check the JOHNSTON and EMMONS surname to see if anything fits I would be very thankful. Thank you for reading this and may all your endeavors be fruitful!
