Oh Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Medina/389 Surname: Phinney, Shaw, Houghton, Yoeman ------------------------- Hi Ann, thanks for the posting. What I know about Hannah Yoeman has come mainly from the book "History of Medina County and Ohio" published in 1881. The biographical sketches were provided by the subjects themselves. Unfortunately due to typographical errors and editing there are mistakes. What I know about Hannah is she was born about 1777 in Connecticut. Shortly after 1807 she moved to Oneida Co., NY. She and Benjamin Phinney had 9 children, 1 dying young. The had a daughter named Louisa and a son named Lorenzo. Lorenzo is my 3rd Great Grandfather. Louisa married Isaac Blair in 1829. Louisa died between 1834 and 1837. Isaac Blair moved to Medina in 1834 and planned to move his family out from NY but Louisa died. I know that Lorenzo Phinney came to Medina in 1856, the year of the great sleigh race through the northern counties of Ohio. Awhile back I contacted a Phinney researcher and he showed that Hannah and Benjamin had possibly died in NY in 1856. I would be delighted with any info you could provide.
