    3. Hello Listers, I posted the email below to the WV-WAGS mailing list b/c of the OH County connection, but today I discovered the LEONHART family in Benwood on the 1860 Census & given the info (as noted below) that Caroline LEONHART DOBLER lived "about 3 mi south of Wheeling...." in 1862, am posting to this mailing list also in hopes someone can help. ----- I realize this is a long shot, but here goes. According to the LDS site, a Joseph DODLER (believe that's an error & it should be DOBLER) married Caroline LEONHART 04 Jul 1869 OH County, WV. It's possible that this Caroline LEONHART is the same person who gave a statement in 1915 when my ggrandmo, Margaret A. SCHUT SMITH, applied for a widow's pension after my ggrandfa, Samuel B. SMITH (a Civil War Vet), died. In this statement Mrs. Caroline DOBLER says she was Caroline LEONHART in 1862 & "resided about three miles south of Wheeling, in West Virginia and she lived within about one block of Margaret A. SCHUTT" (the surname SCHUTT has also been found spelled SCHUT and SCHOTT) and that she - Caroline LEONHART DOBLER - was a witness to the marriage of Margaret SCHUTT & Samuel B. SMITH. If anyone is researching LEONHART, I'd be pleased if you'd check for any reference to my ggrandmo, Margaret A. SCHUT SMITH - such as a LEONHART having known her, witnessing her marriage, whatever. I'm having a heck of a time finding anything about this SCHUT family so am collecting any tidbits I can find. Thanks so much for checking. Nancy (email: nsedwards@mindspring.com)
