FLAGER, GABEL, GABLE, GOEPPELE, MORRIS, MYERS, OSBOURNE, RHOAD, ROAT, ROTE, ROTH posted by Carol Morris Atkinson on Saturday, June 18, 2005

ROAT, ROTE, ROTH, RHOAD.........Looking for any connections to these variations on my ancestor's names in Hancock County. Also, GOEPPELE, GABLE, GABEL Peter ROTH m. Catherine FLAGER in Germany prior to their immigration around 1852. Their daughter Mary ROTH m. John GOEPPELE ( later changed to GABLE OR GABEL) from Wurtemberg, Germany, in 1870 in Hancock County. They had 10 children, Kathryn, George, William, Levi, Paul, Philip, Minnie, Cozy, Edward and Hazel. Edward GABLE m. Hulda ? and moved to Tipton, Okla to raise a large family but returned for reunions in Findlay many times with their children, Gladys, Georgia, Walter, Willoughby and Mary Edna. Kathryn GABLE m. Joseph Frank MORRIS and lived most of her adult life in Findlay, Ohio with their four children, Murrell Winfield, Myrtle May, Paul Gable and Walter Edward. Myrtle might be known by her married name, OSBOURNE. She worked as a waitress and cook in the West End Tavern and at Haley's. Minnie GABLE married Albert MYERS. They also raised a large family in the Findlay area. We understand there was another GOEPPELE family in the area and would love to be able to confirm a connection. They were also from Wurtemberg. If you think we might explore a connection I would be delighted to hear from you and perhaps share a family photograph as my aunt Myrtle passed on a large collection, many of them unidentified.
