GARDNER, THOMAS posted by Gale Harris on Monday, October 29, 2001

Trying to find information on Henry and Julia (GARDNER) THOMAS. They were married 2/18/1871 in Sandusky Co., Ohio. They apparently moved to Hancock Co. after they married, as they had a daughter, Maud, born in Hancock Co. on 3/30/1880. Would like to know if they had any other children, when and where they died, and names of their childrens spouses. Julia was my g-g-g-grandfather's youngest sister. Any information anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Researching Rawson K CARLIN with parents William and Elizabeth CARLIN found on 1880 census in Findlay, Hancock Co., Ohio. Believe a brother Earl was born in 1881. Rawson may have served in the Spanish American War. Father, William, an attorney, is on the 1910 census married to "Rose B". Earl is on the 1900 census living in El Paso, Woodford Co., Illinois with his grandmother Elizabeth (COOPER) KING. Would like to locate descendants.
