I stumbled upon the following from the Western Star, October 10, 1901, page 5 [Ohio Historical Society microfilm #19265] ---------------------------------------------- Clayton Ludlum of Marhal, Ill., John Simonton, of Dayton, Charles Ludlum, of Morrow, and Mr. and Mrs. E. Trovillo were entertained at the home of J. H. Ludlum and family Monday. ---------------------------------------------- There was Charles A Ludlum [1855-1924] who was the son of Maria Simonton and Richard Ludlum that lived and died in Morrow. They are all buried in the Ludlum family plot in the Morrow cemetery along with a sister, Alice Ludlum. Anybody know how the others may be related??? I have quite a bit of info on a John Simonton of Dayton, Ohio whose's family plot is very close to the Ludlum plot but I don't know who the parents of John Simonton are. I've appended that info to the end of this message. Any information would be appreciated.
