I am interested if anyone is researching the Jaudon Family. Dr. Benjamin Jaudon was a practicing physician in Canton, Ohio in 1880. He was born abt. 1816 in Maryland and married Sarah Felton (date unknown). There are various spellings of the last name, although the above is felt to be correct. Other spellings are [Jodon] and [Jodan}. Thank you for any information you can provide.

URL: http://www.membersd.home.net/1greenfield I have a hole list of names from that area that he talked about many fellow Methodist church members- if anyone is interested-let me know Carolyn Greenfield Adams.

We are researching the surname Luder. We have heard that some of the family changed their name to Luther because in the German language the word Luder means "damned wretch". The Luder family booked passage to this country in January of 1868, and arrived in the US in February of 1868. They immediately settled in Stark County Ohio. Some of the family remained in Ohio and others migrated to Kansas in 1878-1879. There were John Luder, born in Berne Switzerland in 1808; his wife Anna Mary Casserman, born in Switzerland about 1824; and their children. John Luder/Luther born in Switzerland in 1850 and died in Ohio in 1924, Jacob Luder who migrated to Kansas; Mary Luder born in Switzerland on August 1, 1852 and died January 9, 1924 in Kansas (she married William Strahm); Rudolph Luder/Luther born in Switzerland on November 28, 1856 and died in Ohio; Elizabeth Luder/Luther born in Switzerland and died in Ohio (she married Edward Strahm); Rosa Luder born in Switzerland on March 23, 1858 and died in Kansas; Samuel Luder born in Switzerland; Gottlieb Luder born in Stark County, Ohio, March 17, 1868 and died August 1, 1885 in Kansas. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who might have information about this family. Phil and Sharleen Wurm

The Stark Co. genealogy department has a web sit to request information for persons who are not living in Stark Co.. The web site is: http://stark.lib.oh.us/gene.html They charge a small fee (usually under a dollar) plus postage for making copies. I hope this helps someone out.

Hi everyone, Hoping to find a link to what little I have, so here goes: Isaac MYERS b. 1799 in MD. The earliest tracing where I've found him to be, is in Ohio in 1830. He settled in Lawrence Twp., Stark Co. His wife's name was Laura ___? Their children: Isaac, b. 1830 John, b. 1832 Lucinda, b. 1834 Elizabeth, b. 1836 Samuel, b. 1838 Melinda, b. 1840 Henry, b. 1844 Susannah, b. 1848 Lucinda is my Gr.Gr.Gr. Grandmother. She married George (Nelson) CONARD, who was from Bennington Twp., Licking Co. OH. G. Nelson Conard was born in 1830. G. Nelson Conard & Lucinda Myers had the following children: Amanda J. Conard, 1852 Isaac Conard, 1854 Ida Conard, 1856 John Conard, 1859 Sarah Conard, 1861 Lillie Conard, 1864 Minnie Conard, 1867 Maude Conard, 1869 G. Nelson & Lucinda moved on to Clinton Co., Iowa by 1870. Does this ring a bell with anyone??? Thank you for looking. Sandy

>From an old posting in the Tuscarawas County Genealogical Newsletter I found another daughter of my William Rider/Reiter b 1773 in Virginia. He resided in Stark County from about 1816 to 1838 when he moved to Sugar Creek Township, Tuscarawas Co. Ohio. The daughter was Anne who married William Gonser. Any clues anyone? Another daughter would have been Julian who possibly married a Graves and had a daughter who married a Geckler. The end of the 1988 posting read " daughters possibly married Gonser, Miller, Graves. Mrs. Gonser and Mrs. Miller moved to Canton, Ohio. I believe I found the marriage for Anne Rider and William Gonser in Coshocton Co. Ohio on 4 or 8/24/1837. I think the Miller mentioned is a Jacob Miller who married Sarah/Sally Rider in Stark Co., Ohio. Another daughter, Elizabeth married John Burns and resided in Pike Township. I would be interested in knowing more about their children. Their brother, John Rider lived in Pike Township until after 1850, then resided in Canton Twp. He sold his land in Pike Township in 1864 and moved to Noble County, Indiana. Will gladly share what I know about the children of William Rider and wife Hannah Bordner.

I have a photo of the 1st B-No. 7 school class taught by my gr.grand aunt Miss Eva Lee. Any of you listers in that class? I would be glad to have it scanned for any one interested. Thanks, Ted.
