Dear Archie:
After arriving home from the ball game last night, Mrs. W.
remembered that we had visited your cousin Ira at Lerpsie, Ohio. That is not
very far where the fastin of your grand-father lived. Near Lindlay, Ohio.
I was born and raised just 12 miles from Findlay in Word
County.
However so far, I have not been able to place the original
John, who came west from some place in Penna. I am enclosing his clart. Ira
told me the orginal J. lived in a house where the Penna & Maryland line
went through the house. Vout he could not tell me in what country in Pa, I have
been in all out three of these Co’s but so far bars not found any count
records.
My “hunch” and it is purely one is that he was the son of
Jacob & Mary who lived in Beford during the whiskey rebellion, they had
about 800 acres of land there but sold it, before the final warrant was issued.
The story goes, that he took to the Hills when the troups came there, as he had
a big still there, However later he came out and was not prosecuted. But I do
not find any further record in the court house, so he must have moved.
I arrved at that idea because the first son (see chart) was
named Jacob, and the second son John, Hoever his first daughter was Margarete
Ann, (But their the grand-mother could Lanbeur Mary Ann.
So you see how every little bit of information helps make
the picture.
I have a letter from Melvin Wineland Alton,
Kansas.
So glad you wrote, I am writing to your Brother.
Thanks,
Park Wineland
PS/ Ira is a son of A12 – Jonathan.
This is the original letter - some of the words I wasn't sure about.
