Carol in California Writes: Are you related to Benjamin Bair of Mansfield? I honestly don't know. John Bair was born 1796 in PA. I don't know who John's siblings were, or his parents. John and his wife Magdalena were both Mennonite, and seemed to follow the Wisler Congregation's migration from PA>OH>IN. I'm tracing land transactions hoping eventually to find a relative, either buying or selling. Sorry we can't connect, YET? Kathleen
