enough information to be more exact.
Before
Some time before 2004 I was given
or found information on a Deed from
Research on the Aegener family has been done by Celia L. Hartmann and can be found on Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com.
My
George Piper born about 1790 and probably died after 1832.
He married in 1824 and his daughter Mary Ellen was born about 1827
In the 1830 census he was listed in
He and his wife probably also had a daughter Sarah born about 1832 who married James Rigg in Taylor County WV and died in 1874. I have very good DNA matches to several of Sarah’s descendants.

Two
Younger George W. Pipers
Both were in the 1850 census in
George Piper (1) married Ann (Dillow?)

George age 32
Ann 25
Hannah J. age 4
William W. age 1

Ann 1

George age 51 and Joseph age were in Logan County Ohio
(William W was married living nearby)
1880 George age 61 is in Shelby County, Ohio with Joseph and family.
I have recently learned that George probably has two sisters who also lived in Logan County Ohio with a mother named Nancy or Ann. I believe these are children of Christian Piper Junior.
George Washington Piper (2)
frequently listed as Washington Piper married Elizabeth Hughes in
1850 he was listed as George W. Piper in the home of John Piper
1860 age 36 and 1870 age 46 he is listed as Washington Piper with his family in Somerford, Madison County Ohio
1880 I can’t find the family except one married son George W with his family in Somerford.
1900 Elizabeth “Pifer” is in
The fact that this George
Washington Piper age 23(?) was living with John Piper age
In the 1860 census Washington Piper and his wife’s first son was listed as George and their second son Lewis, often older children were name for their grandparents.
I believe this George Washington Piper is the son of Lewis Piper born about 1790.
Two
Nancy Ann Pipers who married Dillows
Nancy Ann (1) married Thomas Dillow
1850 with John Piper son of Lewis (Ann Dillow age 22 name indexed as Billow)
1860 with 2 daughters Mary Elizabeth and Sally (Nancy Dillow age 37)
Mary Elizabeth married William Pearl
Sallie married William Henry Hardy
1870 not found
1880 next household after Mary
Pearl (
1910 with married daughter Mary E Pearl (Nancy Dillow age 83)
Thomas Dillow and wife
Nancy Ann (2)
Married Lee Humphrey Dillow in 1852 as Nancy Wilt
It appears it was the second marriage for both as the 1860 census shows Dillow children born before 1852 and a Henry Wilt age 14 as well as Dillow children born after 1852.
Ten years earlier in 1850 I found Lee with wife Susan but I did not find Nancy and the Wilt family
In 1860
I do not have any direct evidence that this Nancy Ann was in fact a Piper. If she was a Piper she could be a daughter of Jacob who did have a daughter Nancy or perhaps Christian Piper Junior who is listed in the 1830 census as having 3 females under 10 years old in his home
