    3. Hello list, You are not alone! My only OLDHAM is Nancy, born 1789 in New Jersey; married Shuah MANN. The family emigrated to Ohio and settled in Franklin Co. (Columbus area) in 1835. Supposedly, Nancy's father was Charles Oldham, who was born and raised in Manchester, England. Charles came to America during the Revolutionary War, and served as Captain. He settled in New Jersey. I have not been able to prove this, however. Shuah and Nancy had 12 children. I do have their names and many of their descendants if anyone is interested. Nancy lived in the New Albany area and was active in the church. Shuah selected the site of the new church at Haven's Corners, Ohio, called Church of Christ in Christian Union. The church has recently been rebuilt and has a very active congregation. Nancy died in 1871 and is buried along with Shuah, across the road from the church. One time I was looking through a Rev. War site and came across a list of men who had been on trial. Don't know if it was a court martial or not. I did find a Charles Oldham, and the result of the trial was that he was fully exonerated. He had told a private to disobey the order of another officer, I believe. I must have been very tired, because I forgot to bookmark the site and can't find it again. Any suggestions? Good luck to all of you looking for your Oldhams! By the way, what's the weather like in Eagle River, Alaska? Carolyn Conkle Anderson Columbus, Ohio [email protected]
