Searching for John Harvey WILSON b ca 1835. Mom said it was Indiana but

William, Frances, Arthur, Charlie, Harrison, John, Jack, and Sam.

My ancestors connections to Wayne County are as follows:
William STIDHAM (1771-1853) brought his family to Wayne County about 1820
from Delaware. His daughter, Elizabeth (1806-1877) married Isaac JEFFERIS
(1804-1840) on 8 June 1825 in Wayne County. All three of these individuals
died in Wayne County.
Ann SHARPLESS Carter Jefferis (1761-1844), already twice a widow, arrived
within a few years of the Stidhams with her close-to-grown children,
including Isaac. It's unclear whether they moved directly from Chester
County, Penn., with her husband, Abraham JEFFERIS (1763-1822) dying enroute
or they actually settled for a time in Clinton County, Ohio, where Abraham
died at the home of a daughter by his first marriage. Isaac was disciplined
by the Quakers for marrying outside his faith. Ann died in Wayne County.
Elijah Iles KERLIN (1809-1901), his wife Milly Milinda SANDS (1803-1879),
and the two oldest of their eventual 11 children moved to Wayne County in
the early 1830s from Washington County, Tenn. They lived the rest of their
lives in Wayne County. Their son and my great-great grandfather, William
Kendrick KERLIN (1832-1903), married Hannah Bennett JEFFERIS (1830-1909),
daughter of Isaac JEFFERIS and Elizabeth STIDHAM, on 1 Dec. 1853 in Wayne
County. William and Hannah moved their family to Darke County, Ohio, in
1865 and spent the rest of their lives there.
My great grandmother, Anna Elizabeth KERLIN Seitz (1854-1918), daughter of
William and Hannah was born in Wayne County and lived the first 10 or 11
years of her life there. I have also seen references to her briefly
practicing osteopathy in Richmond, Ind., but don't know the exact period.
She became a doctor of osteopathy in the late 1890s, more than 15 years
after her husband died, and she practiced in several places before
returning home to Greenville for the last several years of her life.
Thanks,

My Stevenson's migrated to Wayne Co about 1807 or so from Woodford Co, KY.
There were still Stevenson's living in Wayne Co about 1910 from the
original family.
I have the book 1st Land Entry Book of Wayne County, IN by Arnold Dean 1994
and would be willing to do lookups if you want to list my name and email
address.
I have added some information to the book description that follows for the
Stevenson's that moved to Wayne Co. George Stevenson was one of 5 brothers
living in MD 3 of whom migrated to Woodford Co, KY about 1790. George and
his family then moved to Wayne Co about 1807. The book below is really
about his younger brother Benjamin's family, they later moved to Putnam Co,
IN about 1824.
With the permission of the author's descendents and the kind assistance
of the RootsWeb folks for storage, a scanned copy of STEVENSON Family
History from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Worcester Co, MD to
Woodford Co, KY to Putnam Co, IN is available for downloading via

This book lists STEVENSON's in Worcester Co, Maryland from about
1700-1790, Woodford Co, KY 1790-1824, and then Indiana from early
1800's. Nice description of Colonial Maryland and early Presbyterians
in Maryland. Portions of a woman's diary about the trail from Maryland

"Wain" should be "Wayne." She married Samuel McGOWAN
(b. June 9, 1836, in Knox Co. Ohio) on Oct 29, 1865 (place not given). I
am not sure when they moved, but their son, Charles, was born in Topeka,

Revolutionary War. Other known names are Elizabeth m. James Wiley, Samuel m.
Susannah Hackleman, John m. Elizabeth McCormick and Milburn m. Nancy Hawkins.

BENDEL, GOLDMAN, GRAY- Harry Louis BENDEL was the son of Edward Henry BENDEL
and Carrie GOLDMAN. He was born in Richmond on 21 August 1867. Mary BENDEL
was the daughter of Harry Louis BENDEL and Laura GRAY. She was born in
Richmond on 20 July 1887. The only problem is that their families lived in
Jeffersonville, Fayette County, Ohio at the times of the birth of each. So
why were they both born in Richmond. There is no indication of illegitimacy
since marriages preceded births.

Wayne County),
m. 1849 to Rebecca C. TILLSON in Preble County, OH.
Their children:
(1)Everett RICHEY (b. c1851) m. Alice J. BOAK (2)Walter RICHEY (b. c1852) m-1. Mary J.
BEELER; m-2 Mattie BORTON
An Everett A. and Walter M. RICHEY operated "Richey Brothers" drug store in Richmond, IN,
during the late 1800's. Their partnership was dissolved in 1877 when Everett retired.
They may have been a different generation than the above mentioned Everett and Walter,
who would have been too young to "retire", but were related to this family, which operated
two other drug stores, one in New Paris, OH, and one in Muncie, IN.
Does anyone have info on this RICHEY family? I have additional info. to share.

I have a list of surnames that includes people who married into my great
grandfather, Caleb KING's family. They are from a family history that he
wrote between 1881-1888.
I will include them here. They seem to be all Wayne Cty residents during

In no particular order:
Roundtree Jackson Eliason Jones Cheesman
Boyd Medearis Bond Townsend Myres
Stevens Smith Martin Staatts Langston
Maxwell Griffin Russel Hayworth Cook
Wickersham Common Harvey Maudlin
Some of these names he simply mentions as friends, others are spouses who
married into the family, still others he mentions as owning land. Whatever
info I have, I'll be glad to share.
