Surnames: CUMMINS, SUTTON, VANNORMAN

I am interested in tracking descendants of David CUMMINS (born ca. 1767 in NJ) who settled in Huron Township, Huron County which was then near Sandusky, Ohio and was later part of Erie County. In 1815, after living in Canada for 20 years and in Pennsylvania, before that. By 1834 David and his family appear to have sold all their land in that location and migrated elsewhere. This may have been caused by the Asiatic cholera epidemic of 1834 which devastated that part of the state that year. David had perhaps two wives. His first wife may have been Elizabeth SUTTON from Knowlton, NJ. Her name is recorded in estate papers of her father in Knowlton. One wife appears to have been Christina VANNORMAN from Upper Canada. Her first name was recorded in 1815 and she appears to have died before the 1820 Ohio census. David may have had the following children- William, Jacob (m Asenath), Matthias (cf. Matthew m Mary MORGEN), Lucinda (m Asahel C. CALDWELL), Elizabeth (m Roswell GEORGE), Daniel, John (m Anne RIGHTENEUR), Hiram, and Alfred plus as many as 4 other sons and 3 other daughters. These estimates are taken from 1820 and 1830 Ohio census data. I am interested in corresponding with any potential descendants of David CUMMINS. Please let me know if you are interested or can point me to potential descendants.

Tom Neel Look Up Results - Replying to the STREETER surname in your reply to Nancy's news items- I have a STREETER Bible that I picked up at a sale which is sitting on a cabinet about five feet from my computer - mainly for decoration. Marriages- John H. STREETER & Harriet N. GAULT were married July 4th, 1861. Flora Lodema STREETER & Horace LEECH [no date]. Births- John H. STREETER, born Jan. 1st, 1841. Harriet N.

John STREETER was adopted by a Thomas STREETER who is buried at Ruggles; John's name was HOYT; entered by his descendant, Charles Bond CAMPBELL II, December 28, 1958. [Judging from the blue color ink, the stuff that this Charles CAMPBELL added to the Bible is everything after the Martha GAULT-DANIELS death date.] There are identified pictures in the back of John STREETER, Harriet GAULT-STREETER, F. L. STREETER LEECH, and Orvil STREETER.

On the HCC site there is an obit of Burton D WILLIAMS in which the author states that he is the son of William WILLIAMS and Sarah REED. I too am a descendent of William WILLIAMS and I am trying to find more about Sarah REED (her parents, birth place, etc.) The author, Rev Norman Bowen, died 2 years ago. Do you know if anyone in his family has more information on Sarah REED or if Rev Bowen left more material in a file at the HCC?

Ken Shute Lookup Results-- It appears that the parents of Sarah REED might have been Talcott REED and Ruth DASKAM/DASCOM/DASCOMB. An IGI appearing on FamilySearch shows for Sarah REED-- Birth: of Ontario Co NY; Father: Talcott (possibly) REED; Mother: Ruth DASKAM; Married: William WILLIAMS bef 1830, Ontario, NY. The IGI was subitted by Dorothy A. Sargent, 20084 387th Avenue, Wolsey, SD 57384-8433. Dorothy also submitted another IGI for a Ruth DASCOMB as follows-- Birth: abt 1770, of Norwalk, Norwalk, CT; Death: 9 May 1823; Burial: Skaneateles, Onondago, NY; Married: William DASCOMB. In both the 1800 and 1820 Federal censuses, Ancestry.com lists the residence of Talcott REED as Canandaigua, Township, Ontario County, New York. In Rev, Norman Bowen's book describing his BOWEN, REED, et. al. lines, page 180, the following statement is made: "William WILLIAMS married Sarah REED in the State of N. York. Moved to Sherman July 1821." In several postings to US Gen Forum by Gerald Born (email [email protected]), between August 1999 and December 2000, he notes-- His Mary Matilda REED was born 12 May 1799 in CT or NY. She married Loren Lorenzo STOWELL. He suspects that she is a daughter of Talcott REED who was in Sherman Township (Huron County, OH) by 1820. A Henry DASKAM may have been an uncle of Mary Matilda. Hope some of this may help.

Richard MORTON, Greenwich, 1825. Recently I've found a couple of references to Richard MORTON in Greenwich Township, Huron County, Ohio. History of the Western Reserve http://books.google.com/books?id=KjcWAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PA456&ots=GZG3SaEl-1& dq=willis%20smith%20greenwich%20ohio&pg=PA456&output=text "Dr. Richard MORTON, a grandson of John MORTON, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, moved to Greenwich in 1825 and lived there until his death." https://sites.rootsweb.com/~ohhuron/towngreenw.html "Dr. Richard MORTON was the first resident physician in Greenwich. He came about 1825, at first practicing with Dr. Moses C. Saunders of Peru." https://sites.rootsweb.com/~ohhuron/1845mapl.htm The 1845 plat book of Huron County shows R. MORTON owning land in Sherman Township. The published abstracts of Huron County marriage records 1815-1854 list 8 Morton marriages but none for Richard MORTON. 1837 Gilky MORTON, Sarah SLATER 1849 James D. MORTON, Clara STEERS 1837 Philip MORTON, Minerva PRINGLE 1846 Phillip MORTON, Sarah PEACHER 1842 Robert MORTON, Ann Maria IVORY 1854 Robert MORTON, Elizabeth ROBINSON 1828 Clarrissa MORTON, John IRVIN 1839 Elmira D. MORTON, Daniel CONSINDINE There are several MORTON records in the published Huron County cemetery records, but none for Richard MORTON. A database posted at World Connect http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET& db=morton_morton&id=I0176 contains a note that says, "Aaron MORTON, son of John MORTON (signer of declaration of independance) married Francis(Frannie), daughter of Richard and Elizabeth (PASCHALL) ARMITT. Their children were Benjamin, John, Mary Ann, and Richard, they all had children except Richard, who died unmarried." The only MORTON I've found in Greenwich, Huron County, Ohio, in the 1850 census is Frances MORTON, age 19, born Pennsylvania, in the household of Aaron Marshall. There is one MORTON household in Greenwich in the 1840 census, headed by Fran[c]is MORTON, male between 30 and 40, 8 people in houseold. I didn't find any MORTON entry in Greenwich in the 1830 census. My questions-- Is Richard MORTON who lived in Greenwich Township related to the MORTONs who married in Huron County? When did Richard MORTON die? Or, when did he leave Greenwich?
