In a message dated 98-03-08 18:50:37 EST, you write:
I'm posting this to several email groups at once because it involves
Case, Johnson, and Lorian County, Ohio.
I've been tracing my family. Below is a copy of my family tree. Nick
Melhinch (Lorian Email Group) was kind enough to send me a copy of the
page from the 1850 census showing Thomas, Nancy, Luke, and Lemke in
Avon, Lorian County, Ohio. What had been bothering me was how did my
GGG grandfather, Luke S. Johnson meet and marry Clarissa A. Case from
Racine, Wisconsin at a time when most people only traveled 25 miles in a
life time. Even his service in the Ohio 43, Company H during the Civil
War doesn't explain it.
However, after looking at the marriage index on the case web page
(
http://www.rootsweb.com/~inripley/case) a missing piece may have come
together. In the Ohio marriages listing it shows a Seymore Case and a
Clarrissa R. Moon being married in Lorian County on Feb 28, 1844. Since
I don't have the names of Clarissa A. Case's parents in writing yet.
So, maybe the name that was passed on to me is incorrect or the middle
initial is Roxanna.
