BRIDGES, HULSE posted by Dino Bingham on Tuesday, September 2, 1997

William Hiram HULSE and Bethsadia BRIDGES born abt 1850. Looking for his father Silvanis HULSE any information would be appreciated. Thank you,

FEE, MCDANIEL posted by Sherry Mazzetti on Tuesday, September 2, 1997

From Miami Valley Pioneer Index, I understand that a Benjamin MCDANIEL and a John MCDANIEL appear in the federal census of 1840. Does anyone know either of these. I am looking for a Benjamin MCDANIEL who married Ann/Nancy FEE in Bracken Co., KY, in 1810. He was living in Clark Co (not in census index 1830) possibly in 1820 and definitely in 1832. My ancestors, his probable uncle and cousin were both named John (but not the John in Preble). Appreciate any info and will share freely.

GARRISON posted by Randy Klemme on Thursday, September 4, 1997

I am researching the surname GARRISON in Preble County, Ohio. Thomas GARRISON was a Civil War veteran and later moved with his family to Indiana.

HALL, KELLER, NEARON posted by David Steindel on Thursday, September 4, 1997

Looking for Mary NEARON, wife of John HALL. Married circa 1825. Lived in Pittsburgh, Pa. in 1840's. Mary NEARON may have been a descendant of Peter KELLER. Believe that Mary was connected to NEARONs of Preble Co. Ohio and Peter KELLER was from Montgomery Co., Ohio.

HARKLOO, HARKLOW, HEARKLOO posted by Gail --?-- on Friday, September 5, 1997

Searching for John HARKLOO, maybe spelled, HEARKLOO or HARKLOW. He was born in West Elkton, about 1860's.

BEAUCHAMP, GARDNER, SNIDER posted by Timothy S Harris on Friday, September 5, 1997

Looking for GARDNER in the second half of the nineteenth century. Jacob Miller GARDNER married Eliza Ann SNIDER in Butler County 24 Jun 1847. One of their daughters, Melvina (Mellie) GARDNER (m Lou Jenks BEAUCHAMP) claims in her DAR application to have been born in Gratis, Preble Co., OH. Jacob and Eliza are in the 1850 census in Butler County, apparently before Mellie was born. Jacob was a shoemaker. Eliza died in 1907 back in Miltonville, Butler County. I really would like to find Mellie's birthdate.
