Hi Maggie and everyone, I believe it was Rice Township where my g-g-grandfather, William Henry Wells, owned land. There was a large map on the hallway wall in the Hayes library immediately outside the main part of the library from 1850 that shows the land owners of the time. Wm. Henry's name is listed on that map. I am trying to find any information that I can about William Henry Wells. If any of you come across the name while researching Rice Township and passed it on to me, I would be eternally in your debt! Thanks. Take care, George Wells - Sylvania, Ohio Maggie Stewart-Zimmerman wrote: > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > FORWARDED MESSAGE - Orig: 13-Sep-99 17:44 > Subject: RE: Rice Twp. > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > Sender: [email protected] > > Hello, I have traced relation to that area.
