KEISLING, KIESSLING, KISLING, KISSLING posted by R. Dennis Kisling on Tuesday, July 4, 2006
My ancestors arrived in Baltimore as below: Eleonore Kiessling Departure Arrival Date Age Gender Port Place of Origin Ship 25 May 1866 46 Female Bremen Germany J. L.

Thiermann The family lived in Baltimore several years before coming to New Haven, Huron county where they are listed in the 1870 Census(Kissling.)By 1880 family members are found in Tiffin, OH and Barron county WI. I cannot locate Louis or father Julius H. in any records after the 1870 Huron Census so I presume they died in Huron or Seneca before the 1880 Census. I have searched all the cemetery and obituary records I'm aware of for Ohio but cannot find any references for Louis or Julius H- (Julius A Kiessling is another person). Can anyone in the Huron/Seneca county genealogy organizations point me to information on Louis and Julius H? I have used the name variations used for my ancestors in Ohio in the subject line above. I will post this query on the Seneca County and surname boards too. I am fluent in German and use the German language genealogy lists and would be happy to assist anyone with German language family research.

Hello, my name is Tim English and I am looking for a Levi Davison (abt.1830-1872) He married Elizabeth Eisenberg in Seneca county on March 2, 1851. I also know by the 1860 census, they were living in Miami county, Indiana. But I am trying to find out who is parents were and where exactly they came from.

HALL posted by Ed Hall on Tuesday, October 10, 2006
Hall undocumented family history has widower Gershom (Gersham) Hall b. abt 1744 Fairfield Co CT with his grandson Zebulon Hall b. 18 Feb 1821 Genesee (now Wyoming) Co NY visting a Morton cousin in the Bellevue Ohio vicinity in the year 1837. Not clear about county of residence. Geographic location of Bellevue makes Seneca Co a possibility. Not clear if the Morton family was a cousin of Gershom or Zebulon. The wife of Gershom Hall was possibly Keziah Atwood Gibbs and earlier possibly a lady named Sarah . Zebulon’s father Loammi Hall, son of Gershom Hall died in Perry Center NY 1823. It is possible the cousin may have been from his mother's side. She is reported to have been Sarah (Sally) Deuel (or other close spelling) who married Loammi Hall in Onondaga Co NY abt 1815. The second marriage of Sarah was to George Barber, Perry Center NY abt 1827. Second cousins of Zebulon are possible as Gershom the son of Jabez & Hannah Lyon Hall of Lanesborough, Berkshire Co MA. had in addition to Loammi the following children: Rhoda b abt 1741 who married Abial Platt, Hannah who married Caleb Burton 1st, then Osborn, John b Jan 1753 who married Phebee Benedict, Elizabeth b 16 Feb 1754 who married William Lewis, Lydia b abt 1755 who married Stephen Northrup, Calvin b 27 Dec 1759 who married Marcy (Marcy) Barnes, Ezra b 5 Jan 1762 who married Thiphena Sprague, Abrigal b abt May 1764 who married William Pitts Baker. The undocumented family history states Gershom died 1837 while visiting the Morton family in the Bellevue OH vicinity. Gershom was a Rev. War vet but did not apply for a pension. I'm looking for help to verify the death story and locate additional Morton relatives. From Ed Hall ever so great grandson of Gershom Hall

BEARD posted by Bertie Kelvie on Tuesday, October 17, 2006
Does anyone know what school a child who lived in Section 34 of Clinton Township would have attended until age 16? Following that, he attended high school at Republic. Does anyone know anything about the high school in Republic during the late 1840s---name, photo, yearbook, boarding accomodations, etc.? Following 2 terms at Heidelberg College, he taught 2 terms in Seneca County. Are there records of school teachers in Seneca County for the early 1850s? Thanks for helping me "flesh out" the life of my great grandfather, *John Louis Beard*! Bertie in Idaho My e-mail is: [email protected]

SCOTT posted by Lynne Wilson on Friday, October 20, 2006
SCOTT family of Republic, Seneca County, OH. My gggrandfather was Samuel Scott, b. 1830 in Stark County OH, buried in Farewell Retreat cemetery, Republic, as Civil War veteran. His brother was John Scott, b. abt 1828 in PA.. Was Marvin, b. about 1825 in NY their brother? Ellenwood, son of the John above and his wife Abby Jane - I believe his nickname was "Woody" and I have a tintype photo of him and several other members of this family that are unidentified that were taken in New York, where this family came from I am under the impression that the parents were a Thomas Scott, b. in late 1700's in PA and a Nancy Ann Bunton.
