I'm searching for descendants of my grandparents Edwin SPEAR and Mary GEE, both born in England about 1850. They lived in Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio, in the 1880's, left there about 1893. No trace of them after that date. May have returned to Canada or to England. They had six sons and one daughter. Believe the daughter moved to Canada, at least two of the sons to Calif. One son, Arthur Louis SPEAR, married my mother, Eva Pearl REVELL, daughter of Wesley REVELL and Emma DAME, in Oklahoma or Texas about 1923.

WADSWORTH, Samuel and Jane; WADSWORTH, Laura and Wheeler; I am looking for information on my great great grandmother and her brother Laura WADSWORTH. She was born in or near Portage, OH to Samuel Wadsworth a moulder and his wife Jane. The Wadsworth family moved to Adrian, Lenawee Co., MI in the 1860, where Laura married William A. WELLS. Samuel Wadsworth was born in NY or CT (both are found listed in different US Census reports). His wife Jane is listed as having been born in NY. This line of Wadsworth's is said to be related to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Family history always has claimed that Samuel was a brother to Henry's mother. I am looking for any information as to who Samuel was related to in OH. He moved there as a very small child. Samuel was born abt. 1803. Laura was born abt 1840. I found Samuel in both Portage and Lake counties in OH. Samuel's and Jane's granddaughter died in Cleveland, OH in 1929. Her name was Myra E Wells. She had married Edward Washington Reynolds of Nilestown, Ont. Canada and they had lived in Detroit, MI for many years. She was my great grandmother. Any help you can supply in this matter will be very much appreciated. Thank you for your assistants in this matter.

My great grandfather was Heinrich Ferdinand NOBIS, aka Henry NOBIS or Ferdinand NOBIS. He immigrated to the United States in about March 1869 with his family. Apparently he lived with his daughter (my aunt) Olga GARTNER (husband was Charles GARTNER) near Cleveland, Ohio at the time of his death. This information was from an old family letter. This could have been anytime after 1874. I am looking for help in finding any possible record of my grandfather's existence or death in or near Cleveland. Also looking for information on Olga (Nobis) GARTNER and her husband Charles GARTNER, that may lead to further information on Heinrich.
