List:
We seem to have a technical glitch in the list, so I am passing the following post along
to the list in hopes someone may have information or be able to assist Mr. James
Channell.
BEGIN
My great grand father had a mix up in his obituary. There was a William channell born in
Highland Co, Ohio in 1876. Who's mother name(Maiden) was Sarah Jane Leach. She died in
Fayette Co. My great grand father was born in Fayette Co. But I don't know if the
Highland Co, family is related?
There's a number of errors in his Obituary. He was 72 when he died and he was born on
March 28, 1875. His mother name (Maiden) was Martha Jane Hidy.
