I have quite a lot of info on Daniel's descendants. < < Does any of this seem to connect with your Shuman's? < < BBB The dates are far too early to be any one of the Jacobs in my line, but I need a small clarification: 'Springdale' is located in Hamilton Co., OH., while 'Springfield' is actually located in Clark Co., OH. Which location is correct? Oh, and there's also a 'Springboro' in Montgomery Co., OH. I had various SHUMAN relatives at one time or another in all of these Ohio counties, and it would be helpful, and more certain, to understand the proper location. If the location can be confirmed, then I can either confirm or eliminate any possible link. Bruce Shuman BAShuman@aol.com
