Hi, Is there anyone working on the GRINE family, or maybe have a Grine as a related line. John Grine and his wife Margaret LIMBAUGH came to Seneca County in 1847. Their children were: CATHERINE mar. Peter WELTER, Henry mar. Francis WAGNER, Mary mar. Charles NOLAN, Catherine mar. John POPPENBURG, & Susanna mar. John J. CRIST. By John's second wife he had the following children: Catherine mar. Samuel CARITHERS, John mar. Mary FECK, Joseph mar. Mary KERN NYE, Margaret mar. Peter WAGNER, Adam mar. Philomena PETHE, Anna mar. Charles REINHART, Nicholas mar. Catherine WILLIAMS, Henry mar. Victoria PETHE, and Thomas mar. Mollie WILLIAMS. These are all names still found in Seneca Co. I would like to correspond with anyone working on any of these surnames.

Dear Pamela, I don't remember of any list members answering your query, so will at least let you know that no KINGREEs are listed in the Seneca County, Ohio Cemetery Inscriptions book. Sincerely, Jim Davis in Wenatchee, WA

Does anyone on the list have an index to the 1860 Seneca county Federal census? I am looking for Bigalows and Hopkins. I have the Census, but it is so faint as to be extremely difficult to decipher. Thanks Vern Hall

Are there any researcher in Seneca county who would be available to do research to obtain photocopies of birth, marriage and death certificates? Thanks very much. Dereck L. Dietz [email protected]

I think i have other children but.... >> Hi Robin, >From a search through our Seneca County, Ohio publications, I found the cemetery inscription for a Harriet M. SWANDER nee MORSE, born 1832, "d/o "E.& H. (SWANDER)". The maiden name of MORSE is a bit puzzling. Assuming, E & H stands for Edward and Hannah, perhaps Harriet is a child of Hannah's from a previous marriage to a man named MORSE? The early birth year of Harriet's (1832) would fit. Our Marriage Book for Seneca County covers the years 1841-1899, so I would not expect to find the LANG-MORSE marriage there, if one exists. On another somewhat interesting note, I found that Hannah LANG was the youngest sister of the author (W.Lang) of our reference book: History of Seneca County, Ohio, 1880. Details: 1. Seneca County, Ohio Cemetery Inscriptins, 1987. Greenlawn Cemetery, Clinton Township. Page 196. Row 19. 7 Edward SWANDER, May 2, 1814- Mar.24, 1899. Mary nee TREXLER, Apr 2, 1819- Sept. 26, 1843.

Under the heading of The SWANDER Family: This mentions that the father of Edward SWANDER was John SCHWANDER who married an Elizabeth GLICK in 1800, and settled in Lehigh County, PA. John and Elizabeth had 13 children, including Edward, the youngest, Edward married in Lehigh County, PA, and moved to Clinton Township in 1840 where he settled on the Northwest quarter of section 27. After living there about a year, he lost his wife, and in 1844 he married Hannah (LANG), the youngest sister of the writer (W. Lang, author of the History of Seneca County, Ohio, 1880). Edward and Hannah had eight children, six of whom are still living (as of 1880). Hannah died Dec. 4, 1865. About one year after Edward moved to Clinton, Seneca County, OH, his father, John SCHWANDER, sold his home in Lehigh County, PA and came to Seneca County, OH where he settled near Tiffin. John lived here until his death on 17 Jun. 1859. His wife also died there on 7 Feb. 1861. 3. History of Seneca County, Ohio, by Warner, Beers & Co., 1886. Page 467. Edward SCHWANDER settled in Clinton Township in 1840. John SCHWANDER settled in Clinton Township in 1841. He died June 15, 1859, aged 83 years. Regards, Ken Shute, in MD ([email protected]).

Robin, My Andrew MOREO/Morio was initially married to a LANG, perhaps these LANGs are from the same line. Andrew MOREO's second wife was Christina LOY, my ancestor. Let me know what you have on the LANGS & if you have anything on the MOREO's - they were from New Regal/Seneca Cty.

Hi Tom, I see a remark about Old Fort, OH, Seneca Co. - by any chance do you see a listing for a family by the name of Nathaniel S. Risdon who's parents might be at Old Fort? (Nathaniel S. Risdon m. Altha Burgess) I'm trying to research this particular Risdon family. Nathaniel had a daughter who was born in Flat Rock, OH in 1866. Nathaniel also served in the Ohio Infantry (Civil War). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hi Martin, I don't have a Beck connection for you, but, what I do have is a Beck connection in Seneca County. In my family, there is a Mary E. Beck b.20 Jan. 1808; d. 26 Mar. 1889. Buried at Old Fort, Oh. Seneca Co. Mary's father is Felix Beck, a commissioned officer in the Revolutionary War, and mother I believe is Anna M.?

Mary and Simon are my ggg-grandparents. That is all I have on the Becks. Good luck! Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin L.
