 I am researching my gr gr grandparents, Daniel Hale DAVIS and Elizabeth YATES.  They came from England in February, 1853 with the George WILLITS family(George, Hannah and Mary).  The DAVIS family went from New York, NY to Pittsburg, PA to Freedom, Portage County, OH to Steuben County, IN(about 1866).  The WILLITS family's last known address was in Beaver Falls, PA.

     Daniel Hale DAVIS was born February 8, 1820 in Gloucestershire, England and Elizabeth YATES was born April 18, 1821 in Sutton Coldfield, England.  The couple were married January 28, 1850 in Edgbaston, England.

     I have all the info on the DAVIS family here in the USA, I know very little about them in England.  The family left here in Steuben County is very small(less than a dozen of us left).

     I believe that Hannah WILLITS was Elizabeth's sister, since I know she had a sister by that name and the two familys visited each other so much(at a time when travel was very slow).

     I would be interested in hearing from those here and abroad who are researching DAVIS, YATES and WILLITS surnames.

     I may be contacted at Jldcoonhunter@aol.com

My grandmother, Irma (also spelled Erma and Urma) Minera BLANK, was married
several times.  It is believed that she was married at least twice in Angola, IN.  Once to George HERDING, and once to Windom GROVES.  I would like to gather information on when they were married.  Irma was born 5 Feb 1909 in Paulding Co., Ohio.  She died 6 Jan 1987.  She was married sometime after 1932 to Windom Groves.  It is believed that she was married to GROVES prior to 1940.  After 1942 and before 1963 is as close as I can get for the
marriage to George Herding.  In between, it was possible that she was married to at least two other men, so her name on the marriage certificate could have been Chisholm, Heycock, or Beelick (not sure of exact spelling).  The other possibility would be CURTIS, a marriage which ended in her husband's untimely death in 1932.

I would like the  marriage records, if any are available.  Thank you!
