My thanks to Lynda Lipps for sending the information on the diary to the list. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Linda and all the other members of the Wayne Historical Society for their kindness and generosity during our recent visit to Ashtabula and Trumbull counties. My thanks also to all the residents of the Wayne, Kinsman, and Gustavus communities for their generosity in sharing information and the warm welcome we received wherever we went. I would also like to thank all the list members for contributing the information that they have during my research. This project would not be where it is now without all your help. The diary is about to be updated with some recent findings <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/warddiary/index.html">Ward Diary - 1862</A> http://members.aol.com/warddiary/index.html The following is just a partial list of the surnames found in the diary Parker Ward Coleman Perkins Hayes Ricketts Giles Allen Carpenter Gillet Geer Farr Bentley Orcutt Wick Giddings Hart Andrews Reeve Bradley Ketcham Jones Fobes Miner Perkins Bates Chamberlin Krum Best Wilder Gates Miles Pratt Noxon Hardy Sackett Palmer Gibbs Hopkins Weeks Cathcart Crosby Roberts Pickett Morse Leonard Bear Brockway Daniels Gilmore Harrington Lillie Truesdale Wing Payne Straight Searles Wilbert Mosley Palmer Decker Budd Weed Mathews Harrington Kee McLaughlin Pier Babcock Waters Roberts Twitchel My thanks again to all.
