>>Selby, Anna D. Wilson >>“ , Mary S. >>“ , Newton P. Hello. I might have distant ties to this name. I have a Mercy Selby, born 24 March 1786 in Massachusetts. She married Chauncey Hawley, born 24 March 1780 in Massachusetts. This family later relocated to Paris Township, Portage County, Ohio. I know that Chauncey Hawley is from the family that the Hawley Cemetery is named for. Chauncey is buried in the Hawley Cemetery. Does this help? Brian
