Moon.... I have a James Moon born Vermont, married on 17 April 1836 to Syrenia Dailey, born Troy, Ohio. They had two children both girls, born born in Ohio. Syrenia married again around 1843 to Lorenzo Warner so James probably died before 1843. Syrenia then married William Standen 11 Dec 1849. She died in Elyria in 24 Feb 1907. William and Syrenia's children lived in Black River Township and Amherst area. I do not know anything more about this James Moon but it is possible when he came to Ohio that he came with family. So the Elyria, Black River Township and Amherst may be an area you may want to check out. Bob Nordstrand (BobNMi@aol.com)

Dear Lorain Co. List Members, Some of you may have known Pat Bowdman Whalen who grew up in the Elyria area. Her 23-year-old daughter was a financial analyst at the World Trade Center. The day of the attack, her office was one of those that took the full force of the first plane crash. A memorial service is planned for Oct. 13.

I live in Chester County, within five miles of Montgomery County, and I know there were Shupe families in Montgomery County. Barbara >> Jacob Shupe was born in Bucks County. It seems as if the family moved to Westmoreland County between 1786 and 1789. The best and quickest way to find out more about the famous Amherst Township settler is to excess the research of Janet Warter from California at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/ type in Jacob Shupe, Janet's work is listed under jkw2. Jacob from Lorain County was born 1778. Janet was researching the Shupe line from a sibling of Jacob. She felt that Jacob had died young because she could not find any other information about him other then his birth. It was when our research crossed paths that I was able to find out so much more about both Jacob Shupe and his wife Catherina Margaretha Keister or Catherine as she was known in Lorain County. Janet has done some excellant work on this branch. A variation of the spelling of Shupe in the german church records for Westmoreland County is Schaub. This was actually how I was able to connect the family because of birth record of Margaretha Catherina Schaub (Margaret Shupe) who married Stephen Gunn from Black River Township. For information on the Keister lines try http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~holder/index.html or http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~holder/Table8Keister.html With me being from Michigan, maybe you could tell me if Westmoreland County is close to Chester or Montgomery Counties.

William Sherman Powell Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Huron and Lorain, Ohio pages 847 - 848 William Sherman Powell was born July 28, 1833, in Charlotte, Chittenden Co., Vt., in which State his parents were also born. Calvin Powell, father of William S., was born August 19, 1799. On January 6, 1819, he was married in Charlotte, Vt., to Maria Gray, who was born September 29, 1801. In Charlotte they resided until 1838, when they sold out and came to Lorain county, Ohio, with their family. The journey from Vermont, a distance of seven hundred miles, was made in a covered wagon with four horses attached, the trip taking four weeks. Here they pujrchased 134 acres of heavily timbered land. Mr. Powell by hard labor and preseverance cleared up the entire farm, and he resided there until his death. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Powell were as follows: Alma M., born February 27, 1821, died March 3, 1880 (wife of J. W. Rockwell); Henry Sherman, born July 25, 1823, died April 25, 1888; Harriet, born September 20, 1826, died May 4, 1893 (wife of C. J. Case); Polly Ann, born November 10, 1828 (Mrs. William Rockwell, residing in St. Louis, Mo.); Elvera, born May 9, 1831, died June 14, 1890 (wife of Albert Eldred); William S. , subject of sketch; Lorenzo C., born June 23, 1837, a resident of Frankfort, Kans.; Amelia, born August 12, 1839 (Mrs. George Hubbard, of Decatur, Mich.); and Mary, born October 9, 1842 (Mrs. M. Tuscott, of Lanark, Ill.) Calvin Powell was a man of prominence, and held various township offices. He was a member of the Baptist Church of Elyria, a constant attendant and earnest supporter. He died January 26, 1860. Mrs. Powell was also a faithful member of the same church. Her death occurred August 17, 1883, at the home of her youngest daughter in Lanark, Illinois. W. S. Powell, the subject of this sketch, spent his early life in Amherst township, where he attended the common schools, first in the log schoolhouse, afterward at the select schools, where he obtained a practical education. He remained at home until he was twenty-two years of age. He then, in 1856, went to Illinois, where he remained five months, and then returned to Ohio, where he has since resided. On November 25, 1856, he was married to Miss Betsey M. Bender, daughter of Peter Bender, a resident of Elyria. After his marriage he remained on the home farm two years, then rented a farm on Lake Avenue, where he remained one year. When his father died he again rented the home farm, which he carried on two years. He then purchased a farm in the southwest part of Amherst township, and here resided four years, at the end of which time he sold, and bought a farm of one hundred acres three miles north of Oberlin, where he lived eight years, in the meantime adding fifty-two acres of land. He then sold, and removed to his present farm which contains about 150 acres, and is regarded as one of the finest farms in Lorain county, sixty-two acres being in the corporation of Elyria. His children were as follows: Ella M., born June 18, 1861, died June 2, 1863; Orpha E., born October 10, 1864, married March 17, 1886 to John Stang, and now living in Elyria township (they have one child, Herbert Ralph, born June 15, 1890); Elnora T., born November 12, 1866, married March 17, 1891, to M. B. Sonnels, who holds a position as locomotive engineer on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad, and they reside in Elyria; Mary May, born November 20, 1871; Edwin Sherman, born August 21, 1873; and Arthur William, born September 7, 1878. Mr. Powell is a self-made man, having made his own financial success. He is now carrying on his farm, and although sixty years of age is vigorous and active. For many years he has been pominent in all public affairs relating to both the township and county of his residence. He has always been a pronounced Democrat of the Jacksonian school, ready at all times to express his opinions, but at the same time disposed to be charitable to his opponents. Equipped by nature with strong intellectual endowments and rugged physical powers, possessing a sterling honesty which characterizes his conduct in all the offices of life, he has won a high place in the esteem and confidence of his fellowmen.

You would probably find such information in the county courthouse or whereever the county records are kept. In PA wills, and guardians being appointed, probated will records etc or in the Orphan's court rrecords. Mary
LC Researchers, Have been terribly wordy here today, but I promise this is my last post to this LC list til tomorrow. Wanted to tell you that if you know of anyone who is of Mexican or Puerto Rican descent and their family may have lived in LC at some time, there is much information to be had in the February 2001 revised edition of: THE EMERGENCE OF THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY IN LORAIN OHIO. It is 178 pages with many wonderful photos. Frank Jacinto, retired educator, local author and editor, gave a very interesting talk on this topic (in costume) the our most meeting of the Black River Historical Society. He and his group will give talks to any group within a reasonable distance. You can easily guess who kept him there answering questions long after his presentation. My copy of this book is a real treasure to me, cost was $25.00. Since I am so hard on books, I was just a bit disappointed that it was available only in a soft-cover. If you want more info to order a copy mailto:nmmeyers@centurytel.net and I will let you know who to contact. -- Nancy M. Meyers, Lorain OH
