LORD, FORD
I have been trying
to establish when my ancestor, Thomas LORD, b. 25 Aug 1823 in Lancaster,
England, d. 10 Aug 1900 in Lorain cnty and buried in Fields Cemetery, settled in
Lorain County. I know that he and his wife Maria Ford, b. 12 Dec 1828
in Lancaster, England, d. 26 Feb 1895 also buried in Fields Cemetary, were
married on May 19, 1850 in Lancaster, England and, according to family
documents, "immediately after sailed for America. There was a 6 week voyage
with some more days by rail when they arrived in Cleveland, shortly
after going into the country, and finally locating on a farm in Ridgeville".
The next date that I have is for their first child, Sarah LORD Kelley,
born around August 6th, 1853. My query is can anyone, having access
to land & deed records, establish when the farm was purchased in Ridgeville?
Thank you.

OVER, LAUGHMAN
I am
looking for any information, especially the obituary, on Evens Curtis OVER, who
lived in Penfield Twp, Lorain Co, according to the 1910 Federal Census,
presumably where he died in 1917. He was born Sep 1855 in OH to
unknown parents--father born in PA, mother born in OH. The 1870 US Census, OH,
Knox Co, Pike Twp, shows a Curtis Over, age 14, living in the farming household
of Samuel & Henrietta WHISLER— I have no idea what his connection was to
them—perhaps he was orphaned. He married Amelia Ann LAUGHMAN on 28 Sep 1876 in
Medina Co. She was born Dec 1846, presumably in Homer Twp, Medina Co, the
youngest daughter of Henry & Elizabeth LAUGHMAN. Curtis & Amelia had 5
children, only 1 of whom, Bertha OVER (born about 1878, left
home by
1900), survived into adulthood. The 1880 US Census, OH, Medina Co, Homer Twp,
incorrectly shows him living there as Kurt OVERS, with wife Amelia and daughter
Bertha. The 1900 US Census, OH, Medina Co, Harrisville Twp, shows him as Evans
C. OVER, living alone with wife Amelia in Lodi. Finally, the 1910 US Census,
OH, Lorain Co, Penfield Twp, shows him as Evens C. Over, living alone there with
wife Amelia. E. Curtis OVER died in 1917, according to his grave marker in
Woodlawn Cemetery, Lodi, OH. Also buried there is his wife, showing her as
Amelia LAUGHMAN (1846-1929), and their 4 children who died in
childhood. Although he lived in the same geographic area as others
with the OVER surname, in the area where Ashland, Wayne and Medina Counties
meet, I have not been able to reliably connect Curtis OVER with any of them. In
fact, based on successive censuses, I have virtually ruled him out as a son of
Henry OVER, John OVER, or Martin OVER—all sons of Henry D. & Sarah OVER, who
migrated from PA to Perry Twp, in what is now Ashland Co, OH. (Amelia’s sister
Susan LAUGHMAN did marry the widowed Martin OVER in 1862.) I
especially would like some reliable documentation of his parentage and
information about his daughter Bertha. Henry K. Scherr, 1006 Trianon Lane,
Manchester, MO 63011

CLARK, YOUNG, THOMPSON
I am looking for the parents and birth and
death dates and places for W. Thompson CLARK, and I also need the
death date/place of Jane YOUNG, his wife. I only know of one child, Polly, who
was 16 in the 1870 Elyria P.O, Avon Twp., Lorain Co., OH census. That census
shows Polly was born in Indiana. Were there other children also? I
need names, dates of births, dates of marriages, death dates/places,
etc. I have not been able to locate this family in any other census year
besides 1870, so I am up against one of my genealogy brick walls. I
do know W. Thompson CLARK was born about 1825 in Ohio. He married Jane YOUNG 18
April 1845 in Avon Twp., Loraine Co., Ohio. Jane, the wife of W. Thompson, was
the daughter of Alvah YOUNG and Lucretia THOMPSON, and she was born in Vermont
29 September 1827. Her parents lived in Chatham Township, Medina Co., OH when
Jane married Thompson. I have been told Jane died in Lorain Co., OH, but I have
not been able to document that information yet. Any help at this
point is most appreciated.

SABIN, WOOD
I have an
envelope addressed to my great aunt, Anna Gilson Sabin, from the Lillywood
Rebekah Lodge in Wellington. It was a receipt for her dues. I am interested in
finding out more information on this lodge. It was named after Lillian Wood who
died along with her father, Henry Wood, (my gggrandfather), sister and
step-mother when the ship "State of Florida" sank in the Atlantic, April 18,
1884. Lillian was 15 years old. There is a marker to this family in the
Brighton Cemetery. I know there is a reference to the naming of the Rebekah
Lodge in "Historic Wellington Then and Now", 1983 which is the following: "The
Rebekahs were named after Lillian Wood, daughter of Oddfellow Henry
Wood. He and his wife and two daughters lost their lives while on a voyage to
England on the Steamer Florida, April 16, 1884. For convenience it was decided
to name the lodge with one word "Lillywood". (please note that that date is
incorrect). I am looking for more information and possibly a photo that might
have been published in an IOOC publication of Lillian Wood or maybe a photo of
the ceremony when the name was changed. There may be something more about the
family in the lodge meetings. Thanks for any help.

which they moved to Michigan.

Crats or other variation) Mary (Caspary) Kratz, Christian Kratz,
Henry Kratz (all born in Germany)
Elizabeth, Katherine, Dora, Rosa
(all born in Lorain Co, 1854-1866) Is it possible to document or obtain birth
records for Lorain County births for the period of 1854-1866? John
Kratz may have owned farm land during the time they were in Lorain County. Is
SKS available to verify property ownership and who can obtain copies of
deeds? Believe this family entered the U.S. via New York about 1853,
and have evidence that a petition was made for citizenship, but have been
unsuccessful in obtaining documentation that citizenship was granted. Any leads,
information or suggestions are much appreciated.

Hello, I am just so pleased to
have finallly found my illusive paternal Great Grandfather. This is the first
time I have been able to find his name on any document. Much to my surprise he
is listed in the Elyria Ohio US 1880 cenus. I had never considered Ohio as no
family member has ever mentioned them living there. He is listed McCUSKER,
Edward, age 38, born in Ireland. He is listed as shoemaker. He is with his wife
Jane MCCUSKER and son Edward born in Michigan and daughter PHOEBA age 4 months
born in Ohio. Can anyone tell me how I can locate PHOEBA'S birth place in Ohio?
Her birth date is about March 1880 as close as I can determine by the
census. Also I would like to know how I may learn more about Edward
MCCUSKER Sr, who he may have worked for as a shoemaker in Elyria in 1880?
I am so ecstatic that I have found this link and I am hoping someone may
assist me in pursuing more information about their life in Elyria. Thank you,

that he is buried in Brighton. Together they had five children - Emily, Alonzo,
William, Henry and Frank. Any information, clues or pointers would be

JANOSEK
I have had trouble finding any
information about Martin Janosek who came to Ohio around 1920. I see that there
was a Martin Janosek listed in a 1930 census in Elyria and would like to know if
he came from Bohemia/czecholslovakia around 1920. He left a daughter, Marie Ann
Janosek, in the care of a convent about that time when she was only 7 years
old. Her mother died when she was little. He remarried when he came here to
someone by the name of Frances, but do not have any other information. Marie
Ann Janosek came to Ohio when she was about 14 (this would be around 1927), so
she may also be listed in a 1930 census. If you have any information that looks
like this is the family please respond to

KNIPPER, KNIEPER
I am working my my wifes
side of the family. The surname is KNIPPER / KNIEPER. Most of her family
arrived from Germany (Johannes Knieper born 1827 in Prussia, Rheindland and his
wife Margaretha (Klee) Knieper - AKA - John and Margaret Knipper) and
settled in Elyria. I am running across many individuals of the same name in my
research from the Avon / French Creek area of the county. The parish records
from St Mary's Church in Avon has many listed as well from the mid to late
1800's. I tend to believe that those from the Avon / French Creek area are
brothers or nephews of Johannes Knieper. Any help and or insight would be
appreciated. Joe Conley
