Hi, My 2gr-grandfather, Thomas Bradley ROTH b. 7 Aug 1810 Berks Co. PA. married Esther D. GRIEST b. 1 Apr 1814 York Co. PA. Esther's relatives were already in Pickaway Co. in the late 1700s. Esther's parents moved the family of nine children from PA to OH in 1834. Thomas & Esther were married in or near Circleville, Pickaway Co. OH in 1836. Don't know when the ROTHs arrived there. The ROTH_GRIEST family, with 11 children moved to Brocton/Paris area of Edgar Co. IL in 1853. The last child was b. there in 1854. On the next farm was a EUBANK family from Kenton Co. KY. (also with 12 children). Three ROTH sons married three EUBANK daughters, Three other ROTH sons married three PRITCHETT daughters. From there, the families moved to points west. Two ROTH brothers, with two EUBANK sisters/wives moved to Comstock, Custer Co. NE. in 1879 in Conestoga wagons. They lived in sod homes until wooden ones could be built. My gr-grandfather, Jonas Spatch ROTH, with wife Virginia EUBANK stayed in Comstock until their deaths. Albert Maywood ROTH & his EUBANK wife moved back to IL. A brother, Edwin Dozier EUBANK was in the Douglas Grove, Comstock area in the mid-1870s as a preacher. Group moves, previously settled family members and better land prices were three motivators. Regards, Paul
