I'm interested in two surnames both owning land listed in the Geauga County landowner map index for 1874. Catherine DRESSER and Mrs. YOUNG own land in Madison. The reason I find this interesting is because I'm researching the first marriage of Candance YOUNG and ?unk DRESSER. Candance YOUNG was the daughter of John YOUNG and the niece of Brigham. She married and had two daughters Adeline born 1845 an d Amanda born 1852 with Mr. DRESSER.. I can't seem to Candance's marriage license in either Geauga or Lake County nor can I locate her and her husband DRESSER. in census in Lake County She married Rolly EDDY of Lake County May 1, 1854 and they lived in Concord. I haven't been able to locate any burial for Mr. DRESSER. If anyone has research on Catherine DRESSER I'd love to hear from you. Thanks Cindy [email protected]

Sarah Arzelia HORTON (my great great grandmother) and John James GOFF were married in Huntsburg, Geauga county, Ohio on Sept. 21, 1855 according to my family records. The minister who performed the ceremony was Rev. Pomeroy. Sarah was from Greene, NY and both she and her husband were tailors (eventually).

DILLINGHAM, OWEN, OWENS, SWIFT posted by Carol Williams on Tuesday, October 7, 2003
Is anyone researching SWIFT and OWEN in Geauga Co.? I show a Sylvanus SWIFT who m. Lucinda OWENS 7 Jul 1819 in Geauga Co. This could be the Sylvanus who was living in Cayuga Co. NY abt. 1818, in which case, he would be the son of Reuben SWIFT and Ruth DILLINGHAM. Reuben and Ruth and their other children, Deborah, Calvin, Eliza and Abiel Swift were in Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH by 1820. It's likely they all traveled through Geauga Co. and possibly Sylvanus and Lucinda stayed. To my knowledge, these people were all Quakers, coming originally from Falmouth, Barnstable Co. MA.
