VANSCODER posted by Sondra Bergman on Monday, August 24, 1998

I am seeking a death record of Cornelius VANSCODER I found his grave site in Pandora, Ohio, but no death Record in the Putnam County Probate Records. I found information leading to the idea that he may have actually died in Allen County Possibly Blufton. His Cemetery Record indicates that he died August 21, 1873 and that his first wife Nancy died August 30, 1860. Cornelius would have been in his early 70's when he died. I believe some of his children were John, Garrett, Isreal and Jacob D. Vanscoder. I also am seeking any will information to prove that Garrett is his son. I am willing to share information with anyone interested in this family.
