I have found conflicting information about him but both entries I found had him marrying an Elizabeth Browne in about 1815. She was born in 1803. Both were born near Hagerstown, in Frederick Co. MD. They came to Ohio in the early 1800's and had 13 children. I am descended from their daughter, Suzanna. They did not change their name, but spelled it Hawver here in Ohio. Can you tell me anything about the name change? Who were Daniel and Elizabeth's parents? Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. Robin
