Seek to exchange info with anyone researching the Earles family of Lawrence Co., OH. Charles Earles (Dec 1773-28 May 1848) married Mary Martin (c1775-1847) about 1800 in Lee Co., VA. The family moved to Jackson Co., OH in 1815. Also in 1815 a volcano erupted on Mt. Tambora on the Indonesian island of Sumbawa resulting in 1816 being called "year without summer" and "eighteen hundred and froze to death.” I suspect this was too much for Charles and he moved as far south as he could and still remain in Ohio, probably in 1817.

I have an interest in CORBIN in Lawrence Co., OH, and as some CORBIN and EARLES married, I do have some information on them on my web site, in the form of linked family group sheets, which you can hook into from Charles's page: http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/FGS/E/EarlesCharles-MaryMartin.shtml I've only actually *researched* the CORBINs. What I have on EARLES I got from WorldConnect, so you probably won't find anything new on my site.
