Date posted: Monday, February 1, 1999

Searching for Isaac DeWitt who was married to Marion Hastings perhaps around 1870. Marion Hastings appears as the oldest child of Waitstill and Elizabeth Hastings in the 1870 census and living in Sandusky City. Marion and Isaac had at least 2 children John C., my grandfather who went to Stamford,Connecticut in the late 1890s and Jean whose birth record is recorded in the Erie cty Probate records. We cannot find any records of John C. DeWitt in Ohio probably born around 1871 or any records or verification of his father. We have the Sandusky newspaper account of Marion Hastings DeWitt's death in Detroit in 1927and her burial in Sandusky. We have not verified her husband's name. Marion DeWitt was listed as a widow in a Sandusky City directory around 1882 and living at her father's home .
Any help is appreciated.
