Below are my guesses as to who they are. But I could be wrong.
1. A Thomas Hammon married a Rachel Simmerman in Richland Co in 1848. Since she's
listed as "Mrs Rachel Simmermon" this could be her second marriage (If it is her
second marriage, could she be Rachel Taggart who married Emmanuel Zimmerman in 1842?).
They had sons George and John and daughters Catherine, Mary and Ellen. In 1880 they had a
granddaughter Ella Wohlford living with them.
2. A Henry Wohlford married a Catherine Hammomd (probably the daughter of Thomas and
Rachel Hammon) in 1867 in Richland Co Ohio. In 1880 I see them in Kansas.
3. I see a Silas Lyman Hazlett who married Jane Blair in Richland Co in 1874. They had
children James F, Carrie, Malcom, Eva, Emma and Jessie.
4. I see an Elah and Rebecca Shafer Secrist in Richland Co in 1880 with sons Lewis and
Benjamin. Elah is probably the son of Michael Secrist and Elizabeth Baker.
5. I see a John Wise who married an Amity Armentrout in Knox Co in 1853. They had the
following children: Cromwell, Flora, Milton and Oscar. I see Amity's obit here:

6. I see an Ann Downing daughter of James and Sarah Downing in Richland Co.
7. I see an Alexander and Mary B Traxler Calhoun in Richland Co in 1880 with a daughter
Bernice. I believe Alexander is the son of Noble Calhoun and Eliza Willick
8. I see and Erastus Wilson and his wife Sarah Calhoun in Richland Co in 1880 with a
daughter Albertie. Sarah Calhoun may be the daughter of Noble Calhoun and Eliza Willick
9 and 10. I see a John Brunton and Emily Perkins in Tippecanoe Co Indiana in 1870 and
1880. Emily is from Ohio. They both may have been married before. Emily's first
husband might have been Franklin Perkins. But Tippecanoe is not near Terre Haute, Vigo
Co, IN so it probably isn't them. There is also a John Brunton from Ohio in Wayne Co
Indiana but his wife's name is Sarah and Wayne Co isn't near Vigo Co either.
11. I see Deroscus Calhoun and his wife Mary Hammon in Richland Co in 1880. I believe
Derosaus is the son of Noble Calhoun and Eliza Willick. Derosaus is probably the brother
of Alexander Calhoun above. Mary Hammon may be the daughter of Thomas Hammon and Rachel
Simmerman above.
12. Homer Calhoun is the son of Deroscus Calhoun and his wife Mary Hammon. I see him with
them in 1880.
13. There are several Garber families in the same area in Richland Co.
14. Judging by the age of the person in the photo, I don't think this could be William
Barney Carpenter Filloon of Richland Co who moved to Iowa. But I guess it might be his
son. I also see a 20 year old William Filloon living in St Louis MO with J L and Mary
Garber from Ohio.
15 and 16. I see a James a Sarah Downing in Richland Co with the following children:
George, John, Mary, Ann and James.
17. John Hammon is probably the son of Thomas Hammon and Rachel Simmerman above.
18. Asa Spayde is probably Asa Clayton Spade son of Daniel Spayde and Nancy Secrist (Nancy
is probably the daughter of Michael Secrist and Elizabeth Baker). He married Anna Horn.
19. George Hammon is probably the son of Thomas Hammon and Rachel Simmerman above.
20. John Hammon is probably the son of Thomas Hammon and Rachel Simmerman above.
21. George Hammon is probably the son of Thomas Hammon and Rachel Simmerman above.
22. Francis Kanage is probably really Frances J. Kanaga son of Israel Kanaga and Priscilla
Palm. He moved to Ft Wayne, IN.
23. Ellen Hammon is probably the daughter of Thomas Hammon and Rachel Simmerman above.
