Is there anyone who is researching the ENSIGNs of Ohio?

Surnames: BRIGGS, ENSIGN, PUTNAM

I am not able to provide much on ENSIGNs in Ohio, but would really like to hear anything about my ENSIGN g-g-g-g-grandmother, Louise (ENSIGN) PUTNAM. She and Daniel Baldwin ("Dan") PUTNAM were married 6 Oct 1815 in Margaretta Township, Huron County (Later Erie Co. ) Ohio. She later moved to Hillsdale Co., Michigan with Dan PUTNAM, and died there on 5 April 1840. Family tradition indicates that she was born 27 April, 1797-99 (?). In the book on the ENSIGN Family in America there is a hint in the family listing of Samuel ENSIGN and Mary IVES that the Louise ENSIGN who married Dan PUTNAM was the daughter of their son Ephraim ENSIGN, but I have found no other information on Ephraim. A Linus ENSIGN, also a son of Samuel ENSIGN and Mary IVES, was in Erie County at the time that Louise ENSIGN and Dan PUTNAM were married, but I have not been able to find evidence that connects Linus and Louise, except possibly as niece and uncle, based on the hint in the book, mentioned above. Family tradition is that Louise ENSIGN's mother was named BRIGGS, and church records for Whitestown, Oneida Co., NY, show that a Linus ENSIGN and Dedama BRIGS were married there on 12 April 1798. I have not proved that this Linus and the one who was in early Huron County, OH, are the same.

I am looking for the parents of Samuel ENSIGN b N.Y abt 1805/6. Was in Huron County, Ridgefield twp. OH in 1860. He married Betsy (believed to be SMITH). I believe that he is the son of Samuel ENSIGN and Anna CURTIS, but am not able to confirm this. His son Abner married in Erie Co. PA about 1871 to Sarah PUTNAM. She was, from all indications, an orphan living with Hites. in PA. I have found only four ENSIGNs in OH in 1810. The ENSIGNs that were in Ohio in the early days seem to have mostly been born in N. Y. The ENSIGNs that I found in OH in 1810 are-- 1-Ira ENSIGN-Cuyahoga County, Cleveland Twp. pg 006 of database OH 1810 Tax list, From Washington Co. Census Index. 2-Samuel ENSIGN-Cuyahoga Co. Washington Index. 3-Another Samuel-Same as the other Samuel. 4-Seth I. Trumbull Co. Troy Twp p.37 Washington Co. Index. All of these are tax lists. In 1820 Ira ENSIGN is still in Cuyahoga Euclid Twp. as follows 01001-0131 Which translates to 1 male to 16 and 1 male to 45. and 3 females to 10 and 1 female 26-44. Seth J. is in Trumbull Mesopotamia in 1850. 1820-William Jr. is in Ashtubula Co. Monroe Twp p.19. Ira is in Cuyahoga Euclid Twp. p 36. Horace is in Geauga Co. Madison Twp p 110. Silas is in Richland Co. Franklin p. 168. Seth I. is listed in Trumbull Mesopotamia on the 1809 Tax list p. 1809. Seth I. is said to be the son of Samuel and Mary IVES b 16 January, 1783 brother to Samuel who is said to have married Anna CURTIS. I'm not sure that Seth I would have been old enough to be the father of a girl old enough to marry by 1815.

After 3 years plus, I'm still trying to find the parents of Lewis Dwight BAKER, Born 10 Jun 1840 at/near Lyme, Huron County, Ohio. The Birth information is off his Civil War Pension and Homestead papers. No mention of parents names on any documents. In 1850, I found him with a KING family in Michigan, as a 10 year old. Contact with the KING family have not provided any leads.

Ken Shute Lookup Results-- I found a Lewis BAKER in Huron County, Ohio. The good news- he was about the age of your Lewis BAKER. The bad news- his family lived in Fairfield Township, not Lyme Township. On the off chance this Fairfield Township family might relate, here are the details- 1. 1850 Census, Huron County, Ohio. (See link on web site sites.rootsweb.com/~ohhuron.) The following BAKERS are found on Census Page 171a. Read line number., first name, age and place of birth. 25, Spencer, 59, RI; 26, Betsey, 40, NY; 27, Lora, 13, OH; 28, Loucinda, 11, OH; 29, Lewis, 7, OH; 40, Amelia, 46, NY; 41, Orlando W., 26, NY. 2. History of the Fire Lands, by W.W. Williams, 1879. Page 352. Chapter on Fairfield Township. Spencer BAKER and wife Betsey FOOTE came from Onondago County, NY in 1819. They had seven children, two of whom died quite young. Those who arrived at age were Lydia, Lurintha, Loro, Lucinda and Lewis. They settled on lot 23, section 3. William BAKER, a brother, came at the same time with his wife Lea DAVIS. He settled on lot 1, section 3 of this same township. They had no children. Five other brothers came within the next few years-- Samson, George, Sylvester, Jefferson J. and Abijah. Jefferson married Samantha ADAMS; George married Maria MOFFITT. 3. Plat book of 1845, Huron County, Ohio. Spencer BAKER, Fairfield Twp, section 3, lot 24, page 51, 97.69 acres. 4. Huron County, Ohio Cemetery Inscriptions. Day Cemetery, Fairfield Township. Page 93.

S. & E. FOOTE, d. 7 Oct 1823 (Note- Perhaps Ezra and Ann were the two children mentioned in item 2. as having died quite young.) New Haven Cemetery, New Haven Township. Page 398. Row 20. 9 Erastus DICKINSON d. 30 Sep 1896 age 85y 10m 19d. Sarah d. 23 Oct 1872 age 57y 3m 9d. Wife. 5. Death Index, Huron County, Ohio, 1867-1908. Elizabeth DICKENSON d. 1/1/1898. Vol. 2, Page 46.

(Note- Betsey (FOOTE) BAKER apparently married Erastus DICKENSON in 1877 after the death of her husband Spencer BAKER in 1870, and after the death of Sarah, the wife of Erastus DICKENSON in 1872.)

I would greatly appreciate any information that would help identify the parents of my grandfather, Edward Lafayette (Lafe) DAVIS. According to his death certificate (information provided by my grandmother), he was born in Blanket Hill, OH on March 9, 1872 and his parents were Albert DAVIS and May SHELL, both born in PA. However, for the 1900 census, Lafe stated that he was born in PA and I can find no evidence that there ever was a Blanket Hill, OH. He married Harriet SNYDER in New Haven Township, Huron County, OH on October 14, 1896 and died there on September 22, 1923. According to a history of the RUBINS family, published by a distant cousin in 1973, "Edward's parents died young and he was raised by foster parents." I don't know where she got that information, but Lafe's daughter was still living then, so maybe she supplied it.

They were living in Ontario, Canada up until 1901, however, in George's father's obituary, it mentions son George of Bellevue, OH. George's father David was my 3G Uncle.

Debbie Orth Lookup Results-- I checked the "Index to the 1860 Federal Population Census of Ohio", and only found a Harvey FULLER in Mahoning County, Youngstown Twp., page 53. I then went back and checked the index for the 1850 census. There were two Harveys in Mahoning County and one Harvy in Huron County then. Until I checked the 1850 index, I thought I had found your Harvey. The 1860 one is probably one that was in Mahoning in 1850. I decided to check the 1870 index (ours is Huron County, Ohio, only), thinking he may have been missed in 1860, but he wasn't in that index either.

William Tecumseh SHERMAN and his brother Senator John SHERMAN, are related to the SHERMAN line which settled Wakeman, Ohio around 1822. This line is represented by two brothers Justin (b. 7-20-1785 Newtown, Connecticut, d. 8-10-1865 Wakeman, Ohio) and Philo SHERMAN (b. June 16, 1787, d. April 20, 1875 Berlin Heights, Ohio). Justin married a distant cousin, Genea SHERMAN (b. October 04, 1788, d. August 14, 1824 Wakeman, Ohio).

My own relationship to the SHERMAN line goes through the Waugh line, who settled in Camden Township, Lorain County, Ohio, which is just across the county border from Wakeman Township, Huron County. This line goes way back, and I would suspect that Philo and Justin SHERMAN in Wakeman did not have any idea that they were related to the FRENCH family who resided in Wakeman at the same time.

I am looking for Nancy and Stephen NEWBURY on page 139 of the HCC Cemetery book. This would be for Greenfield Twp, Huron Co. Nancy's death was, I believe, 4/4/1837 and Stephen's should be 6/5/1849.
