I would like to learn the names of Daniel FISHER's parents. He was born c1821 in Ohio and died after 1880. He and wife Mary Ann (DELLINGER) lived in Mercer Co. On the 1880 census, it is stated that Daniel's father was born in New Jersey and his mother was born in Pennsylvania. Daniel was in the 1850 Van Wert Co. household of John and Elizabeth ADAMS.

ANTONY, HEYNE, RANLY posted by Barbara Ranly Burkett on Wednesday, January 20, 1999

Catharine RANLY (b. 12 Jun 1834) married Peter HEYNE. They bought land in Auglaize County on 17 May 1858 from her parents, Charles (Carl) and Catharine ANTONY RANLY (who lived in Mercer County).

Catharine HEYNE is named in her fathers will in 1872 in Mercer County.

A transaction on 17 Jan 1918 deeded property in Jefferson Township, Mercer County, from Peter HEYNE to Katharine HEYNE at his death. I question whether that is the Peter and Catharine HEYNE that I am searching for because if he was about the same age as Catharine they would have both been about 84 years old.

Does anyone have info about Peter HEYNE and Catharine RANLY HEYNE? Did they have children?
