CHARLSTON CEMETERY - I am looking for the woman who was at the presentation on the Charleston Cemetery and thought she was the related to the Gill boys, who shared one gravestone. I never got her name and would like to be in contact with her. She had the same names, but thought it was Gilles. The names of the boys were Erwin L. & John C sons of G. S. Gill. John died on April 26,1850 @ 2yrs, 7m and Erwin died on Nov 23,1848 at 2 yrs 28d. I never actually saw the parents name on the stone because when I unearthed it all it said beneath was Our Sons. It seems these names were quite familiar to her.

Is there anyone on the list who understands the dealings of land deeds? A land deed on 27 May 1839 , seems to indicate that my G-uncle, James Daly lent a man $800 and took his land as collateral. In it there's described this elaborate re-payment schedule. Then the very next day, 28 May 1839, James Daly and his wife Anne Maria Daly sell the land back to the borrower for $500. The curious part is that an old-time version of a "sticky-note" that appears on the original deed. It states that the mortgage is paid, but it is signed by Lawrence Daly and Anne Maria Daly, and unfortunately is not dated. I'm confused as to how the land was re-purchased the next day. And as far as I know, Lawrence didn't arrive in Ohio prior to 1843. His brother James dying btwn, Jan and May of 1843. If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. Please respond to:

I'm curious as to whether anyone might be related to this family. They settled near my DALYs, but I have no clue as to whether we're related, although the names used are repeated within my DALYs. In the 1870 Census Michael is a farmer in LaGrange, Lorain, OH. In the 1880 Census, he works in a "storehouse". By 1900, the family lives in Cleveland. The parents are: Michael Daily (ca.1832-1903) and Catherine Roork (ca. 1845-?). Children; Anna (ca. 1863), John (ca.1865), Mary (ca.1867), Thomas (ca.1869), Charles (ca. 1873), Kate (ca. 1879). According to the 1900 Census, Mike immigrated in 1859, Catherine in 1860, and they married about 1861.

I've found the "Declaration of Intent" (first papers) for my GrGf Lawrence DAILEY who settled in, and died in Lorain County. The Declaration is in the "Court of Common Pleas Journal", for the date of September, 1847. If he followed through to citizenship, a "Petition for Admission to Citizenship" would follow (final papers). My questions: Was there a waiting period before he filed for final papers? He states that he already lived in the US for 5 years and L.C. for one year. Would he have had to use a "higher" court than the "Common Pleas" for "final papers"? I just don't know where to look next.

On Ancestry.com, I found a John DAILY listed on on the 1850 Ohio Mortality Schedule, Wellington Township, Lorain, Ohio. He's 80y, which puts his birthyear ca. 1770. This could be my GGgf. I find no other records for him, as he does not appear on the 1840 Census, to the best of my knowledge. A John (Danly) DALY(Grafton, Lorain, OH) and James DALY (Pittsfield, Lorain, OH) are on the 1840 Census, and these are my grand-uncles. I would think that if the Wellington John was their father, he'd live within their township limits. But who can say! I don't know what to make of John in Wellington, but would appreciate any suggestions on how I might work back from this Mortality Schedule to find out about him. Many Thanks.

For 20+ years I've been on a dead end regarding anything other than the marriage excerpt of John BRASIE and Julia BRENT, 11 Dec 1864, Elyria following the death of his wife Almira Lambert BRASIE in June of 1862. I think the name is actually BUNT, that I've been following a tyed transcription error from and old record. I find a Henry BUNT b. ca. 1830 NY m. to Julie BUNT b. ca. 1825 NY, living in Carlisle, Lorain Co., OH in 1860. Children listed in the household are: Mary, EMily, and Ambos. They would have been in Ohio by the time of Mary's birth ca. 1854. I find a Henry W. BUNT, Private, having served in the 102nd Regiment of that Infantry out of Mansfield. I wonder if Henry was one of the 262 casualties of that infantry and his widow marries my 3x Gr. Grandfather, John BRASIE. By 1870, there are no records of Julia BUNT or of the children that were listed in 1860. Is anyone researching this line or any ideas on how I can learn more regarding this LaGrange, LaPorte, Carlisle family? ( Brasie, Brazie, Brazee, Brasee)

I am seeking a marriage record for Bernardina BROMMELING BOOMS to John BERENDZEN.Bernardina and John appear in the 1880 Census for French Creek Village, Avon, Lorain County, ED 162. Ancestry has the surname indexed as BERENDGEN, but a close look at the image makes BERRENDZEN more likely. I also have seen the surname as BERENDSEN. The Herman and Henry Booms listed in this census are actually her grandsons, so they are step-grandsons to John, not stepsons as shown on the census page. Bernardina emigrated in August 1870 from Germany under her married name of BOOMS. The closest I can pin down the marriage date therefore is between August 1870 and 4 June 1880 [the day of the census]. She later moved to Michigan to be with other Booms relatives. If anyone can provide this marriage record I would appreciate it. I have looked for a researcher who might go to the Lorain County Justice Center in Elyria to search the marriage records microfilms there, but could not find one on the Lorain County Genealogical Society website. If there is some willing to do this, please have them contact me, with any fees involved. I have not found any FHL films for marriage records for Lorain County, and the Lorain County Justice Center will not accept mail or phone inquiries – research must be done in person. I have also searched the Cuyahoga County Marriage Records as other BOOMS family members lived there, with no success.

Where is: 25 acres of land being in Lot 26 in the southeast corner in Columbia Township, Lorain County, Ohio. 1835 it was own by Thomas Williams. It had been owned some time before by Levi Bronson. Then in "The Elyria Democrat" 14 Feb.1866 this was known as "The Ezekiel Olcott Farm" and 10 acres was sold by Lydia E. Olcott widow of Geo. Washington Olcott (GGFather). How did Lot 26 become the Ezekiel Olcott Farm? I am trying to trace Ezekiel Olcott. I know that Charity Williams, married Ezekiel. Was this Thomas Williams daughter?

I am looking for the death date and burial location for my GG-Grandmother, Diodonna Rosalia ( GRIFFITH ) RUNALS GOTT, b. abt. 1796, Pikr Twp., Allegany Co., N.Y. Diodonna ,. #1 Abner RUNALS ( 1789 - 1860 ) abt 1813 in Pike Co., N.Y., children were Eli G., Mary Ann. Abner A., Maria D., Susan M., John D., and Henry M. RUNALS, several of them living in Elyria and LaGrange after coming to Lorain County, Ohio ca. 1835 - 1840 with Diodonna and possibly Abner. Diodonna m. #2 David GOTT ( 1777 - 1861 ) 13 June 1842, LaGrange, OH. He died there 1861 and was buried in the LaGrange Cemetery next to his first wife, Lorinda ( BRAINARD ). Diodonna then seemed to disappear from the records. Where was she after David died in 1861? She would have been about 65 years old. Did she marry someone else? Any help would be very appreciated.

I am interested in substantiating immigration information for: John MILLER, b. 19 July 1839, m. 14 Feb 1860 to Magdalene WEBER, d. 14 July 1913, immigrated 1843 - 44, and his father also as John MILLER 1810 - 1891. Census records indicate that these MILLERs are from Bavaria. Futher information from " History of Holy Trinity 1833 - 1983, Avon, Ohio" indicated that some of the first German familes came from " Medelsheim, Rhein Bayern ( Bavaria). aat one time Bavaria must have governed Medelsheim which is close to the French-German border in Wester Germany near the Rhine River. Thank you.

I'm trying to locate an article, most likely in an Elyria newspaper prior to September 6, 1942. My father mentioned it in two of his WWll letters home, and it may provide me with a clue as to where in Ireland my ancestors came from. The men mentioned in the article would have been: Doug GERBER and Dick (Richard) DALY. The text from my father's letter read: "Doug GERBER's wife sent him a clipping about he and I being in Ireland. "In a 21 Sep 1942 letter my father wrote: "SIEFERT had GERBER and I in Ireland. If we were there we would be practically home according to the distance on the map." (Siefert may have written an article). Additional information in this letter mentioned a "Ringling Circus fire", and "a thug from Cleveland shooting up the local police force". All help and suggestions are deeply appreciated.
