If your counties have a First Families Soc. I would appreciate an application for it for your county as my Phillip Kripliver/Cripliver owned land in your county. In Harrison in 1816, In Wayne County in 1820, in Lucas in 1833 or thereafter. I would like to have this all done so I can say I be a first family for Harrison, Wayne, Wood, and Lucas for the 2003 Conference in Columbus. All I have to prove now that Phillip had son John Henry and I have that in a document called a Petition to sell land in Lucas county, if that can be considered a document of proof along with a census of Lucas County, Ohio showing John Henry was Phillips son. For land ownership proof for Harrison County I have patent deeds also pages of Poll book for elections with his name on them especially since you have to own land then to vote. . For Wayne County, I have a plat map showing where Phillip owned land and also 1820 census that he was there. For Lucas County I have a patent deed for land in Waterville Twp and plat maps If Fulton County was a county in 1833 I could also claim that First Family of that county HOST GFS Nance@aol.com
