    1. [OHSUMMIT-L] Death or cemetery record and marriage record
    2. Researcher
    3. Hi, If anyone has access to Summit County death or cemetery records, I would very much appreciate a look up for Robert Trotter. His wife seems to have remarried after he died. I have an old photo of Louisa (nee?), titled "Grandma Trotter Ellsworth" which includes no other information. Louisa must have married an Ellsworth after 1860, so I am also searching for a marriage record for her. Background: When I was in Ohio a couple of years ago, I found deeds for land Robert had purchased in Streetsboro, Portage County in 1839, and some (which seemed to be part of the same land) that he sold in 1851, but one deed said Streetsboro and one said Summit County. The 1850 census said he was in Streetsboro, Portage County, so that is the only county I researched. I later learned Summit County was formed around 1840, using part of Portage County, etc. But the 1850 Census threw me off, so I figured he was still in the Portage County part. However, he seemed to disappear after 1850. The other day, at Ancestry.com, I searched name by name through the Northfield, Summit Co, census (a lucky guess, based on its proximity to Streetsboro) and discovered Robert's wife, Louisa F., and their children, but no Robert. Robert must have died sometime between 1851 and 1860. I would be grateful for any information or clues anyone can provide me. Thanks! W.Warren from Illinois
