STREETER posted by T. H. "Bo" Streeter on Tuesday, May 13, 1997
I am searching for my g-g-grandfather,SAMUEL DAVID STREETER who according to family stories, and at least two census listings of one of his sons, was born in Ohio. It is believed that Samuel David STREETER was born about 1820. During this peroid of time there were Streeters living in Ashtabula, Geauga, and Trumbull Counties. I have a strong feeling that Samuel David STREETER was a member of one of these pioneer families that lived in the above mentioned counties. Please contact me by e-mail if you have a connection to this Streeter.

SURNAMES BEING RESEARCHED: BALCH, CHADWICK, NICHOLS, KNAPP, ADAMS, MUNSON, I am a descendant of Sgt. Francis Nicholls who emigrated to Stratford, Fairfield, CT in 1639. Some members removed to Delaware Co., NY. Ezra Nichols married Elizabeth Ella Knapp. One of their sons was Eli Nichols who married Clarissa Munson & they removed to Huntsburg, Geauga Co., OH in 1824.

MANLEY, MANLY posted by Katny Manley Nystrom on Tuesday, August 26, 1997
MANLEY - MANLY I'm searching for the parents of Rev. John Manly born in 1789 in VA (unknown county) and died in Henry Co., TN in 1831. Our family legend was that seven brothers arrived in Ohio from Ireland. If the legend is true, the Manly line obviously went on to Virginia, then Tennessee, then Texas. Richard Manly is a known brother (also born in VA.) I've found a William Manly in Kirtlan, Geauga Co., Ohio in the 1830 Ohio census index. The name William carried on through the generations. Although likely not Rev. John Manly's father, finding more information about William could speed up my search and help me determine if in fact the family started out in Ohio. Other Manley/Manly's in the census were found in Adams Co. (Isaac Manley- another family name), Ashtabula Co. (J. Manley and W. Manley), Belmont Co. (John Manly) plus Nelson, Freedom, Hiram, Harrison Counties. I need to know if any of these are related to my Virginia born Rev. John Manly. Any information would be very much appreciated. My thanks in advance.

VANSCOY posted by Frances L. VanScoy on Wednesday, December 31, 1997
Abraham and Mary VANSCOY moved from Westchester County, New York, to Geauga County, Ohio, in the 1810s. Some of their children were born in Geauga County. They moved to Erie County, Pennsylvania, after a few years, and then to Huron County, Ohio, where they were by 1838. The names of many of their children are given in school census records for Huron County. I'm looking for Geauga County, Ohio, sources in which I might learn about the births of their children there. For example, are there church records from that period publicly available? Frances Van Scoy [email protected] [email protected]
