Faye, Which "Little" family are you researching from Perry County? Mary

Surnames in Hocking, Perry, Athens also Vinton & Jackson are: DUPLER, ERB, RHEINSCHILD, HILES, LOW(E), CARRUTHERS/CRUTHERS, McBRIDE, SHANNON, DRAPER, FRENCH, SIBLEY, CROSS.... Trying to breach the brick wall to find parents for Christopher HILES bn Gore Hocking 1818, but parents were probably from Perry Co. Elaine Erb McBride

I don't have a lot of information about Mary Ann (she is not a relative to me) but there may be some clues in here: Mary Ann married John Jacob Storts (served in the Revolutionary War) in Perry County, Ohio in 1831. My sketchy records show a birthdate of 1803 for her. Their daughter, Mariah Jane Storts, who was born in 1841 married John Wesley Allen in 1862. When Mariah died in 1933 she was honored as Ohio’s last daughter of a Revolutionary War soldier. The Perry County Tribune has published several articles each year around Memorial Day. They may have some leads as to which family member has provided the information for their article. In the 1870 Federal Census, Mary Ann is listed in Perry County, Pike Township living with this daughter, Mariah. Carrie Allen who married Ernest Byron Stowe in 1905 had only one child, a daughter, Uldena. Uldena is now 94 years old and living in California. Best of luck in your quest, Mary

Although many web sites attribute the poem to that prolific author Anonymous <g>, the page at http://www.cantusquercus.com/9611text.htm credits this poem (with two more stanzas) to Mary Frye (1932) and Wilbur Skeels (1996).

Hello- Is Maxine Fisher a member of this group? I have just -finally- obtained a copy of the Thorn Twp. Cemeteries, Vol. 1. Can Maxine or Norma Ortman tell me who wrote the lovely poem on the page 4? (I write to Maxine because we have corresponded before, years ago.) And for the pleasure of you all who do not have access to the book I shall reprint the poem here. Melinda Seyler Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glitz on snow, I am sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

I have a Mary Harter, born in Licking County, who married Daniel Storts from Perry County. They were on the census as living with an Adam Harter in Licking County after their marriage in 1814. The Harters came to Ohio from Rockingham County, VA, where Mary was born in 1788. There is a connection with the Disponnet (spelled many different ways) family in Licking County who also came from Rockingham County VA. I am not sure where Henry Harter fits in here but thought I might give you some of the info I have picked up along the way.

Thanks for your answer to my query about Mary Ann Burket. I attended the Storts Reunion last year since I am also descended from John Jacob through his first wife, Christena Keller. I am related to Mary Burket through her first husband, Leonard Notestine. No one at the reunion could go back any further on Mary Ann although I suspect she may be from one of the several Burket families in Somerset County, PA, where the Storts family originated from. Well, one of these days, someone may break down this wall!! Thanks again.

Hi, Seems like a lot of people are searching the Vanatta name in Perry Co. so I was hoping someone might have a John Vanatta, b. 1801, and his wife Hannah Allard Vanatta. They had a daughter, Hannah Vanatta, b. 1827. This second Hannah died in 1905 in Athens Co., OH. I have seen the name spelled Vanatta, Venatta, VanAtta and Vanata.
