Thats helps so much. As for the children being born in Maryland, it may be that they were there, with Arons family. His brother, was still living in 1860, as was his sister-in-law. And at this point, I am assuming, that Aron and Sarah, came to meet in Ohio, because he was possibly living with a sister, who married a Bateman there, who's family was from Maryland. So I assume at this point that Aron was staying with them, in Ohio. Anyway, its possible that his children were born in Maryland. A nephew of his, married into my Hays line, while in Illinois. Which would explain, why the nephew was in Illinois. I always wondered how he came to meet my great-great-great grandmother. Now I have a plausible explaination. Thanks so much. This gives me loads to run with. You are an angel! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
