Happy Thanksgiving Portage County, Ohio Listers :-)!!! I'd invite over the ERATUS HINDS Family & the GEORGE ROUSE Family & ALL his siblings & thier mother Elsa (Adams) Rouse . Erastus Hinds arrived in 1828 , whose son George Hinds had contacted Andrew Carnegie and as a result money was received for building the present library home in Kent. Mother Elsa Adams Rouse arrived after 1840 but before 1850 & her daughter Emily Rouse married Erastus Hinds. I'd want to have them all over for the Holidays & find out when & where Elsa Rouse's husband, Rennselaer Rouse, died & why the children were split up & some sent to Michigan to work as coopers , instead of Ohio. That split up took me over 20+ years to figure out that there were 8 children of Elsa & Rennselaer Rouse's !!! Of course, I guess we can be Thankful that the Rouse kids help populate several states, LOL :-)!!! Happy Thanksgiving to All, Janet & Family
