Arthur CLOSE & Rachel had a son named Arthur, Stillborn, 8 Dec 1919, buried Oak Hill Cemetery, Youngstown, Mahoning County, OHIO. Rachel would be a connecting line to my research lines. Perhaps this bit of information might help someone tracing the CLOSE lines in that area of OHIO.

Jerry,
We have not had much luck finding our Albert T. Close.
It is possible your Albert is the same. His first wife wasa Gladys Mable Vaughn, married 20 Feb. 1908. She died 11 Feb. 1916 and is buried at Moran, KS
Maybe she remarried after her death.
There are several Albert T Close's in the social security index.
Best wishes,
Don

I have recently compiled the Hazzard / Meranda family connection pasted below. I believe this information to be accurate. In addition to Hazzard and Meranda there are Twiss, Spurgeon, Close, and Gardner family connections as well as connections to Lewis County, Washington and southern Indiana. If anyone connects to these lines and can extend them I would like to hear from you. I have a lot of old family communication from the Hazzard line. Don Coatney

My husband is also descended from this line. His grandfather was Isaac Hamel (Hammill) Close b. 1836. Our Isaac was born in Ohio, he went to IL with the family, served in the Civil War from there and returned to Ohio and married Barbara Belinda Dennis in 1875. Isaac Hamel was a brother of John Nelson. There are quite a few researching this line along with William's father Joseph and Rachel Moffett.
I too am descended from Jacob Close. I have information I can share as well.
I would be interested in receiving information as well. The earliest
records I have are for Joseph Close and Rachel Moffett. Anything earlier
than that would be greatly appreciated!!

I am looking for descendants of James CLOSE Jr, born about 1848 in Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada, and moved to Broughton Twp., Livingston Co., Illinois in 1864 with his parents James and Jane. James Jr married Emma Coselman in Illinois in 1875 and they were living in Broughton Twp in 1880, but we have found no sign of them since. It seems Emma died in Campus Twp., Illinois, in Oct 1927, but we have not been able to find this family between 1880 and 1927, or any descendants.
In the 1880 US census they had three children, Jesse (m) b: abt 1876, Wyla (f) b: abt 1878, and Edny (m) b: abt January 1880. There may have been more children after 1880. We have been searching the 1900 US census with no luck. If anyone recognizes this family, I would love to hear from you.
