    3. Hello everyone, Just found out this list existed. I searched the archives and don't think I link to anyone here, but here's my information. It's sort of spare..... John OLDHAM born abt. 1825 in England. May have had a brother Samuel, born abt. 1827 (they were living on the same farm in 1850). I have found references to two brothers in the IGI at the LDS, John and Samuel christened at Hyde, Gee Cross Unitarian, Chesire, England, but am not sure if they were mine or not. Their parents were James and Mary HORSFIELD OLDHAM. (Do they sound familiar to anyone?) John and his family were apparently 'imported' by another British family by the name of WILLSON who had settled in the Darke and Shelby Co. areas of Ohio. They brought the OLDHAMS over to work as linen weavers for them. (I have this from a local researcher, not corroborated yet.) John met and married Mary BLACKMORE, also of England. And Samuel married Eliza BLACKMORE (sisters perhaps?) Mary was born abt. 1815. To John and Mary were born three children: Stanley (my g.g.grandfather), a sister Sarah abt. 1849 and a brother James abt. 1847 Stanley later lived in Van Wert Co. Ohio and then Miami Co. Ohio. He married Abagail ? and had six children at least. Henry born abt. 1883, Della born abt. 1880, Sarah born ?, Linda born abt. 1891, Earlen (?) born ? Charles (my g.grandfather) born 1875 Charles married Lucia DeWeese, daughter of Marion Lafayette DeWeese, a descendent of the Rev. Joshua DeWeese. Their children were twins. Marion and Chester DeWeese OLDHAM. Chester married Ethel MCCURDY. Their children were Jo Ann and Philip Kay OLDHAM. Jo Ann married Dale CUMMINS and had two children, Mark Alan (deceased age 17) and Marla.... .... me. Anyone with any info or who thinks they might connect, I would appreciate hearing from you.
