Resending my misdirected e-mail of the past week. Sorry if it is a repeat. _________________________ Has the connection ever been made between Ignatius Sollers of Ross Co., OH and Ignatius Sollers of Vermillion Co., IN? Although the following information is on our Sellers website under both Vermillion and Ross, but unless I missed it, the following phrase "In 1828 he sold his farm in the Township of Deerfield and left Ross Co., OH for Eugene, Vermillion Co. IN" is not included. The source of this information is at the top of the following entry.
