JACOBS/CUSTARD; Hello, my name is Karen Schaffer and I am trying to connect my gg grandmother Mary Ann JACOBS (1832-1869) with Daniel B. CUSTARD (1785-1868) whom I think is her father. Mary Ann was born, raised, and died in Allen County, Ohio. Daniel B. CUSTARD is believed to have been born in PA. His wife's name was Nancy? Daniel's parents names were George CUSTER Sr. (1744-1829) and Catherine "Caty" LEATHERMAN (1765-1844). Mary Ann was married to James M. JACOBS (1828-1902). If you have ANY information please feel free to contact me.

SUNDERLAND posted by Julie Holbron on Sunday, May 27, 2001

A few years ago, before we had a computer!!, my father researched our family and traced us back to Peter SUNDERLAND, the Revolutionary War veteran. We know that he died at the age of 90 in 1827 in Allen County. What we are trying to find out is where he was born and any other information on him. We have his decendants and are mainly looking to try to go back even further in our history. Thank-you for your help.
