Hi, According to Chapman, Rachel was Eli's daughter and married Oscar Cole. I might add that the 2nd wife of Justus, Melissa Cole, was Eli's wife before he died in the war. I believe there is someone else on this list that is a descendant of that branch. The Ann mentioned as Lydia's daughter is Lydia Ann and she lived for many years in Tenn. before moving back to Ohio. Lydia Ann married Rev. James W. Miller in 1845 and the child mentioned by the name of Helen C is actually Bertha Helen. (My ggrandmother) She married Isaac Norman Cosner in Knox County. I do have all their children if anyone is interested. Lydia Ann Butler Miller died June 19, 1851. She was crippled through a fall several years before her death. This was learned through letters written by her husband. Both daughters May V. (not Mary) and Lunetta died at an early age in 1891 just 8 months apart. Annie Louisa married Charles Kingston and she died in 1909. The 2nd child James mentioned by Chapman I have never found, He may have died young in Tenn. William did die in Tenn. but no definite death date at this time. Charles S. and Frank Justus and the only 2 sons to live. Rev. James Miller and Lydia Ann put all their children through college in Granville. Frank Justus went on to Yale and eventually became the Dean of Women at the University of Chicago. I've been to the Dennison University and the archives there are great. If anyone has any ancestors who attended there, it's worth a visit. Just make an appt. I ended up with all sorts of info, including a copy of an original graduation program from my gggrandfather in 1845. Plus a picture of his son at graduation in 1879. They didn't take many pictures of the females but I did manage to obtain other records. Boy, was going to school cheaper back then!! Enough of my rambling!!
