Harvey and his wife, Sarah Dunning WATERS arrived in Huron Co, OH, between 1836-1840, with their infant son Thaddeus, from Cayuga Co, NY. In 1841, they had another son, Theron D., born in PERU. He was followed by a sister, Caroline born in 1846. They lived there until sometime in 1853 when they moved to MI. The last year in Huron County, Thaddeus taught school in the common school. Would like to locate any information about this family's life in Huron County. Have much to share on the brothers. Some on the rest of the family.

I am searching for William BUCK who was born in Huron Co. in 1820 or 1821. His father was John BUCK. John may have been a "fire sufferer" from the war of 1812. William married Arvilla CURTIS (from Vermont, her Dad was Luther CURTIS). They eventually ended up in California, where William died in 1893. I am looking for any infor re the BUCKS, the "Firesufferers" or the "Firelands". I believe William & Arvilla were married in Huron
