An Elizabeth Keefer appears in my GGGgrandfather's will. I am trying to discover whom she is. I believe she is the person below, but beyond that, I wonder if anyone in Knox knows of Keefer and or Miller combination. The will of Michael Miller is from October 1886 in DeKalb County, IN. The Miller family was in Knox before 1850 and I have seen that may have been a Keefer family there as late as 1856. Could they be connected? Thanks.

Ken, I don't know about your Aaron Cox who was born in 1857 -- but I have a couple of Aaron Coxes in my line - perhaps they are of the same family. I have an Aaron Cox who was b. 1809, m. to Malinda Hupp, and he was the son of Christopher (b.1767) & Anna Cox of Greene & Washington Counties of western PA. Some of Christopher Cox's children eventually settled in Knox & Licking Counties in Ohio. Also, this Christopher Cox had a brother named Aaron Cox. Christopher & Aaron were sons of an Isaac Cox b. 1715 in New Jersey but settled in PA. Sorry I couldn't be more help but maybe this will give you some leads.

Hi Dave Johnson, I am interested in this David Johnson my ancestor was born abt 1801 when was David D. born? Jeannet

Anyone know this Michael Miller in the 1850 Ohio Census? He is listed in the index at Knox County on page 410 (or 460) in the actual census, to which I do not have access. IF any names of his children are listed with him in the census, I would like to know them. The township is supposed to be Millwood, though I am not sure if it may be a village. I wonder if he could be the son of Michael and Catherine Miller who were in Knox as late as 1848 or so but are listed in the 1850 Census in DeKalb County, PA. His son John T Miller married Julia Lybarger in Knox about 1848 as well as daughter Minerva (or Manerva) Miller married Jacob (John) Cole. Both these last 2 couples move to DeKalb as well by 1850. Micheal and Catherine's son Jacob was born in Knox in 1843. He is my direct line. About 7 or 8 of his brothers and sisters were born in Knox. John T., Minerva and George W were born somewhere in Pennsylvania in the 1820s. I suspect there may be a Michael Jr and wonder about the Michael at the top. Also would like to know if anyone knows of the Pennsylvania origin. Catherine was Slice or Vanderslice and born in Maryland about 1805, her husband Michael was born in PA perhaps as early as 1795.

Posted on: Knox Co. Oh Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Knox/653 Surname: Cochran, Imbert ------------------------- Looking for information on Ernest Brunner, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Sister Annabell Brunner, parents were Ernest Brunner and Agness Cochran, last known to live in Mt. Vernon Ohio. Son Ernest and wife Jane had three children, Jacqueline Brunner, Sandy Brunner and Daniel Brunner. Daniel last known to live in Seattle, Washington. Annabell Brunner married George E. Imbert, one child known of Alexander Imbert

Reading the questions about Wades, Augustine and Henry, in early Knox Co. brings to mind when white men and settlers first arrived. They could not have arrived in or lived there in the 1775 to 1803 period, because there was not any one there. >From A Banning Norton's book, "History of Knox Co." The first white man: "The first white man know to have viewed this section of the country was John Stilley, who, when a captive among the Indians, traversed the White Woman and Owl Creek from its mouth in a northwesterly direction as early as June, 1779, nine years before the name of Ohio was given.................." The first settler: "From our research into early statements, we believe that Andrew Craig was the first white settler who located within the present county limits." The second settler: "After many years of solitary residence on the beautiful Ko-ko-sing, the solitude of Craig's retreat is broken by the entrance of a lone Jerseyman, who in the spring of 1803, penetrates some 10 miles further into the wilderness..................." The next settlers: "A year passes by before any white accession is made to society on Owl Creek. near Clinton, the pioneer, William Douglas..........." And: "Robert Thompson ascends Oul Creek to where Mount Vernon now stands. George Dial, of Hampshire countyu, Virginia, in another piroque comes up the creek.......Old Captain Walker, from Pennsylvannia settles........." That makes the period of 1804 to 1812 the days for the early settlers, after that group of men. The first Wades mentioned in the book, are under the chapter, Brown Township: "Zephaniah Wade, who commanded a company of Riflemen from Loudon Co, Virginia, in 1777, moved to this county in October, 1816, with his son, Thomas. Zephania and his wife, Irene Longley, are both dead...................." Myron

Hi, My great-Aunt was named Helen Colopy and she was born in Danville in 1900 and lived in Mount Vernon...she was a Knox County elementary school teacher for 16 years, and died in a fire in April of 1939 The fire was at the Lake Cornell dance pavilion. She was buried from St. Vincent de Paul's church (I am guessing that is in Mt. Vernon) and buried in Danville. I would like whatever information I can come up with about her....especially a picture if one still exists. If you could give me an estimate of what that might cost I would like to consider hiring you. I also know that she was a graduate of Kent State Normal School as it was known at the time. Cheryl Quinn
