COOK, CROSS posted by Chi Rouse on Sunday, July 16, 2000

I am researching my family tree and looking for the following: Mary Adeline CROSS b: 1882 **Isabelle CROSS b: April 18, 1884 **Sanford CROSS **Maude CROSS b: February 14, 1890 **Emey Edney CROSS b: January 5, 1892 (Possibly) **Clinton CROSS. I have a letter written by Mary Ann CROSS to her brother W.N. COOK from March 4, 1894 describing that she was dying of Rherimeitz phulrsey (That is how she spelled it). The return address on the letter is: 2006 East Sundusky Street, Findley, Ohio. We believe she was married to either Issac H. CROSS or Hirum Daniel CROSS. If she is buried with either of these two men, I would like to know if one of these men is correct and a possible date on her husbands birth and death if she is buried with him. We are having problems locating all of their childrens names due to a problem finding out the father's name. Any help would be appreciated.

FOSTER, MCNEMAR posted by Kathy Foster Gaskins on Monday, September 18, 2000

Looking for any information on Nancy E. FOSTER, who was born in Braxton County, WV, on April 13, 1897. She was a d/o John William Foster and Louisa Ellen MCNEMAR. I know that my grandfather (Nancy's brother), Roy Earl Foster, said that he had a sister who lived in or near Findlay, and Nancy is the only sibling I can't account for so I am hoping it was her. She lived at least to be at least 50-60 years old (I have photos taken at family reuinions in the 1950's or 1960's). I don' t know if she ever married. There are people in the photos I cannot identify so one of them may be a husband. Thanks in advance for any help at all.

COURWRIGHT, LEE posted by Laraine Clark on Wednesday, September 20, 2000

I am looking for any information on Zebulon LEE (1754- 1848) who died in Amanda township, Hancock Co., OH. His wife was Margaret COURWRIGHT and they were the parents of: (Richard LEE, Rachel LEE, Daniel LEE, John C. LEE, Noah LEE, and Stephen LEE.) Zebulon Lee was a Revolutionary War veteran and was born in PA. Also on the wife and children of Jonathan LEE, who died before 1830 in Franklin Co., OH and then around 1830, his widow Sarah LEE and her children (Zebulon B. LEE, Jonathan LEE, Solomon LEE, James LEE, and Stephen LEE) came to Hancock County, OH. We have a theory that Jonathan LEE, Zebulon LEE and a Samuel LEE, who all came into Fairfield and bordering Franklin Counties, OH were brothers and the sons of a Daniel LEE of Luzerne CO., PA. Samuel Lee sold his Fairfield County lands and went to Illinois around the time of the War of 1812. Any Lee family history on these people or clues as to who is the father of these men (proving or disproving that it is Daniel LEE of Luzerne Co., PA, would be very welcomed Thank you
