My great-grandparents, Joseph (1843-1923) and Catherine (RILEY) MARSHALL (1843-1924), who lived in Doylestown, kept a photo album. Many of the photographs in their album are of unidentified people, presumably friends, in-laws, and relatives.
Among their relatives and in-laws were members of the MARSHALL, DAGENHART, WHITMAN, HUMMEL, OTT, RECH, GARDNER, PETIT, SHONDEL, STEINMETZ, WILGOHS, and KINDIG, families. The photos in this album appear to date from the 1850's to about 1900.
I've created a web page containing these photographs and wish to encourage people whose ancestors might be among those pictured to view this web page.
Descendants of Michael Franks Sr. (c1725-1793); Andrew Miller (1743-1816), Alexander Brandenbiger/Brandyberry (d.1793), Philip Schmidt (1729-1814), Jacob Bonewitz (1761-1818), Jacob First (1750-1823), and Robert Lemon (1780-1875). A number of their descendants were early settlers in Wayne and Holmes Counties.
In addition to Koehler family genealogy, this site includes a number of families that also immigrated from the lower Alsace region, including: Breitenbucher, Brennstuhl-Branstool, Heffelfinger, Kick, Leininger, Ohleyer, Schneider-Snyder, Smith, Smithhisler, Snively, Spreng-Sprang, Ullman, Wander, Weber-Weaver, Weimer, and Young.
Most of these families initially settled in the area near Loudonville and Nashville Holmes County; and a number of descendants later settled near Wooster and Millersburg.
The ancestors of the Dahlheimer family of Minnesota emigrated from Germany in 1852 and settled first in Sugar Creek Township, Wayne County, Ohio. In 1855, most of the family immigrated to Dayton in Hennepin County, Minnesota.
A few family members stayed in Ohio from 1855-1873, moved to Minnesota briefly from 1873 to 1875, and then returned to
Ohio where the last Ohio descendant died in 1954. Most of the descendants of the Dahlheimer family now live in Minnesota.
We are in the process of redeveloping the online archives of the 64th Ohio Infantry into a complete user based network in an endeavor to collect and archive any and all information and documents pertaining to this civil war regiment.
64th Ohio county designations:
- Company A Richland County
- Company B Marion County
- Company C Richland County
- Company D Marion County
- Company E Ashland & Crawford Counties
- Company F Van Wert County
- Company G Clark & Summit Counties

The site gives users the ability to upload images and documents, submit transcriptions and articles, communicate through forums, contribute to the gravesite directory, establish a user profile with features such as web blogs, private messaging, article/upload credits, personal image galleries, networking an more. All of these activities and more can be performed from any web browser anywhere. It is not just site but a community and an effort to bring private collectors and historians together through a community similar to the modern day myspace.com's. Not only can this be useful for classroom based projects but a complete user based archive will hopefully uncover more items that otherwise would have been undiscovered.
If you have any information pertaining to this regiment we would love to see you join the community.
