I believe her grandfather (Jacob Stephan) was Mary Stephan Schleman's brother. I have found Jacob and Mary and other siblings (Adam, Anna, and Henry), plus their parents, Jacob and Eliza (Elizabeth) in the 1870 and 1880 census, but I'm stuck before and after that for the parents. I found Mary's brother Adam living with her and Henry Schleman in the 1900 census, but in 1910, Henry was living with another wife, Wilhelmina, and Mary's three children (Royden, Clara, and Laura) plus her child Howard. I found Henry Schleman's death notice in the Cleveland Necrology Files, but it didn't say anything about Mary. I couldn't find Mary's death notice. I'm sort of stuck on the Stephans at this point. I would really like to find out more about the parents, Jacob and Elizabeth, who were born in Germany, and when they came to the US. I'd be most interested to compare notes with you! Steph Jobes
