Mark and anyone else with the VEON surname in your family, I would like any help you might be able to provide. Joseph G. Veon, married my third great grandmother, Tammy (Tucker) Wilson, after her first husband, Luther Wilson, was killed by a falling tree. Luther died in November of 1828. I have been unable to find a marriage record for Joseph G. Veon and Tammy (or Tamara Wilson) but I believe they must have married in Portage County. She lived in Paris where this Wilson family originally settled. In 1838, the School Census, shows Tammy's children, Walstein Justus and Delia Ann Wilson attending school in Paris Township with their half-brother, Orson VEON. Tammy and Joseph G. VEON had many more children. In 1850 they lived in Pierpont, Ashtabula Township; in 1860 they lived in Benton Township, Ottawa County; can't find them in 1870 as yet, but in 1880,Tammy, now a widow, and one of Joseph's daughters were living in Benton Township, where Tammy is buried. There is no record of Joseph being buried there, although it is likely they continued to live there. One of their daughters remained in Benton and two of their sons settled in Minnesota. (I can share more about them if anyone has an interest.) I am interested in Joseph's origins in Pennsylvania and would like to definitively tie in him to the Paris Township and Pennsylvania family. I suspect that he was a brother of Henry Veon (in Mark's family). I wonder if Joseph and Henry are the Veons that fought in the Civil War for Pennsylvania, or, if those Veons with the same first names were cousins of theirs. It seems too coincidental not to have some relationship. Furthermore, Lydia Veon married Luther Wilson's brother, Lucius B. Wilson, in December 1833. She was likely a sister of Joseph and/or Henry. Can anybody help here? Tali in California
