Hello! My name is Katie and we bought property that was owned by Schofields, since it was built. I am trying to piece together their lives, and as much information as I can possibly find out about them. I do have some information that I could share as well, from all the investigation I have already done. Charles Schofield 1856-1914 Annie E. Schofield 1860-1940 Next generation was: William Wilbur Schofield 1887-1956 (Married twice) Ruth G. Schofield 1900-1932 and Kathleen Schofield ??? died around 1980 I do know there was also a sister to William Wilbur, born in 1885, unsure of her death. These individuals were all from Hubbard, Ohio. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Katie

Hi Katie! My maiden name was Schofield and I was raised in North Canton, Ohio. (Born in Canton.) I'm not terribly good at this genealogy stuff. Mostly my aunt did all the work before she died and I am just trying to keep all the information together until the time when I no longer run kids around all day and can work on it. My files list a brother to a direct line of mine who was Charles Schofield. Only he was born in 1844 in Scioto Co. Ohio. He had an older brother William Schofield born in New York State in 1823. I doubt these are connections for you, but it is possible since the dates are close and William Wilbur could have been named after an uncle. The father of those two was Benjamin Franklin Scofield (yes, no h) born in New York State in 1796. That's as far back as I can go. Keep in mind in your research that the h seems to be optional. I think the general rule of thumb is that the h appeared around the time of the civil war. I've never heard a good explanation why, but no one could pronounce or spell my name properly when I was growing up, I was glad to give it up for something simple like Miller. Benjamin Franklin Scofield's children were all either born in New York, or in Scioto Co. Ohio. This makes me think that it is unlikely that this is a match. My father was born in Athens Co. (also southern Ohio.) He did not come to Akron until the depression era. Since Hubbard is not terribly far from Akron it is not unreasonable to think I may have been related to this family. However, my father's father was an alcoholic and my grandmother divorced him before she moved the kids to Akron. If there were Schofield relations nearby it is unlikely they would have been in contact with them. Good luck on your research. I think it is a wonderful thing to do. It honors the family that built and preserved your property, and gives an interesting history for future owners. Thanks! Connie Miller [email protected] wrote: > Hello!
