I am researching my mother's family. Suzanne KNIGHT was born in Kendallville, IN to Marlin Herbert KNIGHT and Ruthe Louise EPPERSON in 1933. Marlin and Ruthe were both born in IN, but I don't know where. Ruthe died in December 1935 and was buried in Noble Co. Marlin remarried and moved to Warsaw where Suzanne (Sue) and her sister grew up. He owned and ran the drugstore in Warsaw until the early 1950's. I have very little information on the KNIGHT family and no information at all on the EPPERSON family. I have a list of siblings for Ruthe but no dates, places, etc. Any information on theKNIGHT and EPPERSON families would be greatly appreciated!

Henry SNYDER supposedly died abt 1856 in Kosciusko Co, IN. He was born 1772 and married Catherine DAVIS. Their son David also lived and died in Kosciusko Co. There was a Joseph, Herny and David on the 1850 Richland Co, OH censuse and I think they were sons of the above Henry and Catherine (DAVIS) SNYDER. If you have any data on this SNYDER / SNIDER line please contact me.
