My Great Grandfather George LUDWIG (b.9/13/1836) moved from Pennsylvania, with his father, Samuel LUDWIG (b. 1/3/1794), to a farm in Union Township, outside Bluffton, in 1851. There were also siblings of Samuel that moved to Ohio: John LUDWIG (b.12/25/1819, m. Clarissa P.) to around Bluffton; Jacob LUDWIG (b.?) to Pickaway County and Henry (b.?) who moved to Marion County. Samuel's children apparently all moved too: Eli ( b.5/24/1823); Elisha (b.9/5/1826); Sarah Ann (b.8/23/1817); and Rosetta (b. 2/27/1829, m.

My Grandfather (Elmer LUDWIG, b.9/25/1880) moved off the farm and into Bluffton, as did George when he retired around 1914. My father Richard (b.5/29/1915) moved to Lima, Allen County, Ohio which is where I grew up. While I know who my grandfathers' sibling were I don't really know much about the rest of the family and wanted to see if anyone might respond to a query.
