One and all, Saw my post and thought ...duh... tell them where you are in America, and where you are looking here. My ancestors came from Lancashire England to Darke and Miami Counties in Ohio. One brother stayed in Darke Co., OH near Painter's Creek somewhere between Greenville and Arcanum. His name was Samuel and he had two wives and a lot of children. My ancestor, John C. , his brother, came to Concord Twp., near Troy. Ohio, married a Blackmore girl (as did his brother), had several children and then settled in Troy itself. Anyone looking in this area of Ohio can email me. I have quite a bit of info on Samuel's family and some on my own. I know nothing of the brother and sister of John's father Standley, however - so there are cousins out there just waiting to be discovered! > Sounding off - > > >> 1.
