If I missed this in earlier conversations, please forgive me. I'm looking for someone who may have a copy of one of the following publications published by, I believe, the Wayne Cty Genealogical Society...to see if my surname is published before I purchase: Wayne Cty Probate Records: 1840-1844 Wayne Cty Generation Charts - Vol I (generation charts) Wayne Cty Generation Charts - Vol II Wayne Cty Generation Charts - Vol III Wayne Cty Cemetery Directory "Economy Times" Index The surname is CURTIS or CURTIS, first name James, wife Margaret. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Bonnie

My ancestors from Wayne Co, IN are Bowmans and Bells. John Bowman, Benjamin Bowman, Sr. m. Elizabeth Shideler, Benjamin Bowman, Jr. m. Mary M. Bell. Benjamin, Jr's brother David m. Mary's sister Ruth. Their parents were Thomas and Ruth Bell originally from Ashe Co, NC, according to the Wayne Co History. John Bowman arrived in Wayne Co via Frederick Co, MD, Bedford Co, PA and Montgomery Co, OH. Benjamin, Jr's son Aaron and grandson Samuel ended up in Huntington Co, IN. I know very little about the Bells and would love to hear from anyone who knows more. Also Elizabeth Shideler's father is in question. Most people agree he was George Adam Shideler, but whether Jr or Sr is the question. Sr would be the s/o John Shideler of Washington Co, PA and Jr would be his grandson. Any ideas out there? cbj

> Jo, > I noticed you are searching BAKER, where are they from? I am searching > BAKER also. My grandmother was born an died in Wayne Co., my great > grandfather was born in Darke Co., Ohio and his father was born in Preble Co. > Brenda in TX Hi Brenda My maternal gr-gr-grandmother, Frances "Fanny" Baker 1835-1892, d/o Frederick BAKER, SR & Elizabeth KERSWELL of Lancaster Co, PA. Family history or lore states Fanny's parents were killed in a horse & buggy accident when she was just an infant and the children were "farmed out". Fanny was taken by a couple who moved "West" to Chillicothe, OH in Ross Co. I found her on the 1850 Fed Census as a 15 yr-old living with and working for a Casad family in Preble Co, OH. She married Jonathan Overholtz in 1851 in Camden, Preble Co, OH. They moved to Wayne or Henry Co, IN before 1859. I have not been able to discover a relationship to Bakers/Beckers in Darke Co. Fanny is related to the Bakers in Henry Co, IN. Some of them moved on to Great Bend, Barton, KS

I have Esther Crull m. to John Wagner also. My info came from another Crull researcher. I have Esther's father as John Crull b. Abt. 1750, but no mother in my file. Fatherf of John is John Kroll. Nothing more. cbj

Could I please get a look up for a Forrest Osborne/Osburn. He was living in Wayne county in the 40's but not sure he stayed in that area until his death but it is worth a chance to see if you have a burial for him in your cemetery books. Thanks Liz

Hi, Am searching for STINES, HAMER/HANER.....I have Stines in Richmond and Boston Twp from about 1850 thru 1890's.....My William Stines married Mary Hamer in 1860 Richmond, marriage performed by a Rev. Shadow. I have much info on the Stines, but am still searching for more on Hamers/Haners......can't make out my great-grandfather's printing on a family tree, but it looks like Haner....altho marriage record in Richmond spells it Hamer. A couple of the Stines daughters married KNAUL and EGGENIER. The Stines family were living at 175 S. 5th St. Richmond in 1880 census. Carol in CA

Hello everyone, Since a lot of us researching Wayne Co. have roots with the Quakers I thought I would remind everyone of the VERY active mail list QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com <mailto:QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> as always to join the list send an email to QUAKER-ROOTS-(either L or D)@rootsweb.com with only the word subscribe in the subject line. On of the mail contributors is Tom Hamm from Earlham College there in Richmond. Also for Quaker research the web site http://www.rootsweb.com/~quakers/ ran by Joanne Todd Rabun is a must. Good luck, Dave

Hi Larry, It would make sense that some of my Mendenhall's who were Quaker would have come over from Montgomery Co., OH with the Hoover's and others to Richmond. I have a Joseph Webster Mendenhall b. 1832 in Miami Co., OH.. that married Sarah Ann Hoover b 13 May 1832 Montgomery Co., OH. I have lots of data on the Hoover's and some on Mendenhall's if you want to share information.

I am researching these Coffins in Wayne Co.and am happy to add their names to the list. This seems to be who I think I have found at this point. John COFFIN (b. 1778 in North Carolina) and his wife Abigail HOBBS Coffin (b. 1786 in North Carolina) are buried in Nettle Creek Cemetery, Wayne Co. They were Quakers and are in the Springfield, Wayne Co., Indiana Monthly Meeting Records. Their son John COFFIN (b. 1824 in North Carolina) and his wife Martha Delphina FENTRESS also are in the Springfield Records. They came from North Carolina as well. They moved from Indiana to Kansas and then Iowa. Apparently three of their children, Louisa Jane COFFIN, Abigail Sophrona COFFIN and Thomas Newton COFFIN were born in Indiana. I believe Thomas married ELiza STARBUCK. I welcome correspondence, corrections and will share what I have with others. Thanks, Elizabeth Coffin
