I just returned from four days of research in Darke Co and Huron Co., OH. I didn't extend my ancestery but did find that some of my folks left a paper trail and others didn't and I got to see where they are buried and where they used to live (open fields now). What I found very interesting was my JOHNSON and WALTON families came from CT (which I knew), stopped off in Tompkins and Wyoming Co., NY; dropped off some of their adult children and went to Huron Co. They lived there for about 30 years, the old folks died and some of the kids became mobile again and came back to Crawford Co., PA. Where this is all leading is, strangely enough there are a few other names in Crawford Co., that I found in the cemeteries of Huron Co. around Clarksfield and New London. In some of the old newspapers in New London, I read about Conneaut, PA (they meant the township) and Conneautville. Specifically the surnames I remember off the top of my head are SHAW, BRACY, WHEELER. If your folks came the same route, I have a book of the cemeteries in Huron Co., PA and will do a lookup for you for the next few days. Once I get my notes together (and it won't be soon), I'll post some of the other things I learned on my trip that is pertinent to this area. -- ********************************* Pat Butterfield Vedner Conneautville, PA 16406 http://www.toolcity.net/~vedner Conneaut Valley Historical Society Main Street, Conneautville (across from the beer distributor) Open 12-2:00 on Saturdays - Come visit us. http://www.granniesworld.com
