Gloria and Other Listers, For your info, there is a book, "Family Record of Isaac Christopher Simler", 1971 (176 pages), by Douglas F. Brown (now deceased). I have a copy of it, and it should be noted that he includes the ancestry of the Simlers, back to Rudolph Simler (1449-1534) of Switzerland. I also have an autograph album, belonging to my g-aunt Lucinda Ellen (Fravel) Spore, that contains entries during the period 1884-1886, at reunions of Fravels and Simlers in Kirksville MO, Olney IL, Owensville IN and Corydon IN. Gerald L (Jerry) Spore (Desc of Joseph & Mary Ann Simler Fravel) ________________________________ From: "Chochoruss@aol.com" <Chochoruss@aol.com> To: vashenan@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, September 16, 2010 8:04:03 AM Subject: [VASHENAN] Elizabeth, George, & Rebecca Fravel, Children of Isaac Fravel & Catherine Reese Part 4 of 6 CHILDREN OF ISAAC FRAVEL AND CATHERINE REESE Lineage: George Fravel Sr. & Elizabeth Bushong Isaac Fravel & Catherine Reese Elizabeth M.
