Surnames in Bloom Twp.:: Smyers, Ebert, Shoop, Denton
Comments or queries:I am trying to locate information about my Aunt Mina Smyers Shoop. My older brother said she died in a fire along with one or two of her children. She died in 1930. Fifteen years before I was born. My brother was young at the time, but remembers the fire. He doesn't remember her husband's name. He said the fire occured around Canal Winchester but doesn't remember where exactally. I would appreciate any information about this to help with my family tree. A little more information. Her father was John Smyers, her mother Annie Ebert Smyers. She had three,possibly four brothers. THe ones I know are Judson, (my dad), Fredrick, and Franklin. There is a John H. listed in the 1910 census, but no one ever mentioned him that I can remember. She had two sisters, Clara Smyers Denton (she was married to Tracy Denton)(I'm still trying to locate where she is buried. I have a copy of her death certificate and it says Canal Winchester as the burial. She's not with Tracy in Lithopolis. His second wife is there). and she had a sister Mary Smyers Tubbs who was married to Francis Tubbs. If anyone can help fill in the blanks I would appreciate it. Ruby Smyers Bush

Surnames in Bloom Twp.:: Plummer/Whaley
Comments or queries:My greatgreatgrandparents were George Plummer and Elizabeth Whaley. I am looking for any information on them while they lived in Bloom Township. Elizabeth's father was David Whaley and he died in I believe 1834, but I do not know where he came from or even where he died. I believe George was killed in an accident probably in the early 1840's, but the only thing I've been able to find on that is in the History Book of Sangamon Co., Illinois where Elizabeth removed with her children after George's death. If anyone knows anything about this family contact me. I want to find out everything I can on the Plummer/Whaley families. Thanks Jackie Withrow JWithrow@sbcglobal.net

Surnames in Bloom Twp.:: Wooten and Edgington
Comments or queries:I have been trying to research my family history/origins for about 10 years. What little information I do have just leads me to more walls. My daddy (03-27-1941 - 11-01-1967) I was 4 at the time. My grandmother (Bertha Irene Edgington 05-04-1920 - 05-28-1980) and Grandfather Edward O. Wooten (1900 - 1969)were married (1939-1940)and divorced (1944-1945)in Ohio (location unknown). I am as far as I know, the last surviving member on the Wooten side of the family and need help locating information. Because I don't have the city where birth, marriage, divorce, death took place, I am at a loss. I do have the names of some cities that may be of use, but don't know where or how to start my search. With daddy and both grandparents gone, finding information has been difficult. I was told by a step-grandmother that my grandfather was married 13 times. She in fact was wife 11 & 13. ( she passed away 3 years ago. I was also told that my grandfather was adopted as a baby and his name was changed and that as an adult he had 2 different names. Edward O. Wooten and Harry O. Thomas. I have been able to identify the names throught military records. I really need some help locating information. I don't want to be the last leaf on the branch and since most of the information brings me to Ohio, it is my hope that someone out there can help.

My great grandfather was Phillip Leiendecker, b 1864. The information I have has his father as Phillip Leyendecker, b 1835, and his mother as Elizabeth Harmon. Does anyone know of any connection here? My great grandfather Phillip came to the US in 1883 from Finkenbach, Pfalz, Bavaria. He married a Leiendecker, Katherine, from Coshocton county, Ohio. They were separated or divorced between 1910 and 1920. A family member had told me he lived with a cousin in Fairfield county.(Millersport, Baltimore, Lithopolis?) The info I have has his death as 6-6-1947 in Lancaster and he is buried in a Columbus cemetery. According to the US Census, he lived in Coshocton co. in 1900, in Columbus on Moler Street in 1910 and 1920. I could not find him in the 1930 census. I have other Leiendecker relatives buried in Greenlawn cemetery in Columbus. The other side of Leiendecker's also came from Finkenbach in the 1850's and settled in Coshocton county. In my family, the Leindecker name has been spelled every which way it can be. Does anyone have any information that would make this connection? Thanks so much

Surnames in Bloom Twp.:: Kittsmiller (or variations)
Comments or queries:My gg-grandfather, IRVIN HALL, married a woman named Maria in Indiana on 9 Sep 1845. The 1850 Wayne Co, Indiana census lists a George W. KITTSMILLER (aged 6-born in Ohio-relationship "other") in the household, and he moves with the HALL family to Kansas. I am assuming that George must have been Maria's son by a previous marriage. The only other KITTSMILLER (or variant) I can find in that area of Indiana is a John KITTSMILLER in Blackford County (two counties away), who also had a son named George (born in 1846, but dying in 1849). John KITTSMILLER's first wife was Rebecca BOWEN, apparently the daughter of Thomas Bowen of Fairfield County, Ohio, but she died in 1842. My theory is that Maria was his widowed sister-in-law (or other relative) who came to Indiana to help him care for his family until he remarried in June, 1845. So, what I am looking for is a KITTSMILLER male, who died in 1843 or 1844, leaving a widow named Maria, and from that piece of information determining her maiden name. Maria reported that she was 73, and born in Pennsylvania in the 1880 Kansas census. (Of course, it occurs to me that she might also have been a KITTSMILLER spinster, shipped to Indiana to spare her family the shame of an illegitimate birth)

Most internet sources have Sarah Hart's date of birth as 1817, but inscription on her tombstone in Macy IN documents her death as 13 Dec 1895 at 88y-5m-16d, hence an 1807 birth as found on your site.

They had at least two children: daughter, Cathern Harriet Eddington (or Edington) and son, Idaho Eddington. Cathern (or Catherine was born June 1884 in Fairfield Co., OH (so far, I've been unable to locate a birth certificate or entry for her; her brother, Idaho was born in 1887 or 1888. I do not know when Mary Hamilton and Jacob Eddington married or where, I imagine in 1883 or even 1882. Catherine Eddington Berry is my paternal GM; she said she had no memories of ever having been with her parents; she was raised in Fairfield Co., on a farm, near Buckeye Lake, by cousins of her father. Both her parents died at a young age; I don't believe she ever knew she had had a brother who apparantly also died in infancy. Was there a flu epidemic, measles, mumps, chicken pox, or some such event during the time period of 1887 and 1890s? I have not located death entries for Mary A., Jacob Eddington, or Idaho Eddington. Any suggestions? Are any of these names familiar to anyone? Any suggestions, information,would be greatly appreciated. I want to fill in this gap in our family history.

Cathern (or Catherine was born June 1884 in Fairfield Co., OH (so far, I've been unable to locate a birth certificate or entry for her; her brother, Idaho was born in 1887 or 1888. I do not know when Mary Hamilton and Jacob Eddington married or where, I imagine in 1883 or even 1882. Catherine Eddington Berry is my paternal GM; she said she had no memories of ever having been with her parents; she was raised in Fairfield Co., on a farm, near Buckeye Lake, by cousins of her father. Both her parents died at a young age; I don't believe she ever knew she had had a brother who apparantly also died in infancy. Was there a flu epidemic, measles, mumps, chicken pox, or some such event during the time period of 1887 and 1890s? I have not located death entries for Mary A., Jacob Eddington, or Idaho Eddington. Any suggestions? Are any of these names familiar to anyone? Any suggestions, information,would be greatly appreciated. I want to fill in this gap in our family history.

Surnames in Bloom Twp.:: Kenoyer or Knoyer or Knauer
Comments or queries:I am doing research on my mother's Kenoyer family of Canton, Mississippi. I believe that her great great grandfather Johannes Ulrich (Uli) Kenoyer married an Elizabeth Kittsmueller Oct 21, 1811 in Fairfield County, OH and he died in Bloom Twp OH August, 1814. His son Lewis had a son Lewis who was born in Indiana and moved to Mississippi, he is my ancestor.He moved to Canton Mississippi as a young man where he married Clementine Worrell October 12, 1848. That date I can prove from family bible records. I cannot prove his relationship to your Kenoyer family as I do not have his birthdate or place in any of our family bible records. I do have his death date and place November 25, 1878 in Canton, Madison Co, MIss. He named a daughter Mary Lenora....and in the book, "Preachers, Farmers, Pioneers the Kenoyer Family in America, Descendents of John and Elizabeth Kenoyer from Germany" compiled by Elizabeth Kenoyer Davis in 1971 a "Lewis Kenoyer Jr. b 1819 in PA was brought up by his Uncle MIchael. (his father Lewis died in 1820 probably in Indiana) At an early age he went to Mississippi and married ? He had one child that is known named Lenora Kenoyer". NOw this could all be coincidence, but I rather doubt it. I just need to find some proofs. thanks for any help that you can offer. Sincerely, Penny Maroldo
