Surnames: COUNTERMAN, FAUST, GANT, GAUSE, HARPER, KIDWELL, LONG, SMITH, WELLS, WILSON Researcher: Marge Counterman Email: [email protected] Date posted: Saturday, August 16, 1997 From the early History records of Columbiana County, Ohio, we know that Christian COUNTERMAN and his wife Rachel WILSON lived and farmed there from 1810 to the 1830's. The know children were Jacob, Dossy, Margaret and David. Jacob COUNTERMAN was married probably twice and one of his wives name was Zelinda HARPER. Dossy was married to a man named KIDWELL and went to live in Wayne County, Ohio. Margaret COUNTERMAN maarried Evan GAUSE. David COUNTERMAN was also married twice and one of his wives name was Anna GANT. David, Margaret and Jacob moved with their families to the western part of Ohio and settled in Mercer County in in mid 1830's.

Some names woven into this family from those counties are: LONG, WELLS, FAUST, SMITH & HARPER. I am lacking very many dates of this family such as marriage and birth dates.
