Can anyone provide a connection between the DeVoe family of Richland County and the family of one Margaret Loutein (Lautern, Lauter, Loudon) who married John Dittrich in 1867? I have the marriage record for this couple. People are referring me to the DeVoe family, but I do not know where to make any meaningful connection. Please note, however, that I have the important marriage record for Dittrich-Loutein. Because I have been unable to discover any parentage for Margaret Loutein (or whatever spelling), I am trying to determine wether this family name is found around Mansfield in the 1860s. If Margaret came to this country with parents and/or siblings, there is a chance all of them settled around Mansfield. Perhaps, too, if descendants are found someone might be able to provide more information about Margaret. I want to thank those who have offered help so far. You have been great in replying.

Duane? this is Duane! I have an on-going rearch for all Devoes that had something to do with Ohio. At this time I have no Lautern/Lauter in my files. Thios doesn't mean the name won't connect in the future. If you come across any Devoe names from the Mansfield area please let me know. I will keep looking from this end.
