All genealogy research contain errors, so let me know if your research contradicts mine. My research of Indiana and Ohio families comes from conversations with relatives, copied scrapbooks, library research, online records, courthouse visits, and multiple visits to final resting places on family farms and cemeteries. Families in other states rely mostly on the research of others. If you have additional information on any families, corrections, photos, or anything to add to the history of our families, please leave a Comment in my Guest book, join my Follis Families on Facebook page, or send an Email.

George's parents were Simon ESSIG 1754-1852 Washington County, Maryland to Pennsylvania to Stark County, Ohio a blacksmith and Julianna SCHNEER 1761-1844 York County, Pennsylvania to Stark County, Ohio. At 98 years of age Simon is my oldest ancestor and a Revolutionary War Soldier. Tradition says father and sons were Jackson men.
