FORD, SMITH posted by Taleah Wilkinson on Monday, March 13, 2000: I am trying to help a friend William Edwin Ford/Stephen Smith find his biological family his adoptee Mom Helen Ford told him that his parents were originally from Ohio. She said that they were very young and since his adoption papers papers declare that his mother was his sole parent he assumed that his bio. parents weren't married. Stephen Smith/Bill Ford isn't even sure if this was the name that his mother gave him or if the system gave him this name. Stephen/Bill was born August 23, 1949 in a Kansas City, Mo. hospital his adoptive parents pettioned the court on June 29, 1950 for his adoption. His adoptive mother Helen Ford told him that they took him directly from the hosptial in Kansas City, Jackson County, Mo. to their home in South Greenfield, Dade County, Missouri. I am hoping that maybe if there was other children that if they was told that their mother was from Ohio they might visit this web page too.

I haven't had access to this CD yet. I would love to hear from ANYONE who may know anything about a JOB GROSS. My mother was LETA MAE FULLER. My father was LESTER ALVAH GROSS...his father GEORGE WASHINGTON GROSS....His father was JOB GROSS. JOB GROSS was married to a "LIDA" DEMPSEY, supposedly a cousin to the prize figher, JACK DEMPSEY. JOB and LIDA (probably an aka?) lived in NEWTON, HARVEY, KANSAS, where my Grandfather GEORGE WASHINGTON GROSS was born. (Said that JOB and LIDA may have moved to Missouri in later years). Story has it that JOB and LIDA GROSS had a very large family.....16 or 17 children. Unk if same mother. GEORGE left home about age 13 or so, and wouldn't talk about his family, so nothing more is known by any of the rest of this branch of the GROSS Family, other than that GEORGE had one brother named "AL" and I think a ! "BILL." I would like to communicate with anyone who may know anything about a JOB GROSS....hoping that his name too, is not aka! Thank you.........

HASLETT, HAZLETT posted by Dennis Scott Hazlett on Monday, March 27, 2000: Jonathan Hazlett(1815-1902). Jonathan Hazlett was a farmer in Butler County, PA from about 1840 to sometime in the 1880's. He married Mary Ann Hazlett (same surname) about 1840 and had many children, most of whom remained in Butler and Allegheny Counties. He may be the grandson of the James Hazlett (1750-1834) who lived in Menno Township, Mifflin County, PA. Two of James' children, Samuel and William, relocated to Perry and Muskingum Counties in Ohio. Samuel had a son named John Milton Hazlett who lived in the Brownsville area. Jonathan also had a son named John Milton Hazlett, who was born and raised in Pennsylvania. He also had a son named George Hamilton Hazlett and a grandson named Milton Howard Hazlett. The name Milton is not that common. Since there is a strong possibility that James from Mifflin County was the common ancestor of all these folks, the common thread of the use of "Milton" and its variations adds credence to this possibility. My question is this: Jonathan and his wife Mary Ann disappeared from Butler County, PA in the 1880's. Did they move to Ohio to join relatives there? I am focusing on the possibility that they may have joined up with some of Samuel's clan, perhaps his son John Milton. Does anyone out there know of an Ohio Jonathan Hazlett (or Haslett) and his wife Mary Ann? Any leads, however suspect, will be appreciated.
