Wow, I'm amazed at what you were able to glean in such a short period of time. You are so kind to look this information up for me. I'd nearly given up finding anything out about these people.
I never joined Ancestry.com, having been rather lucky with my genealogy research for other branches of my family tree and avoiding Ancestry's hefty membership fee.
However the Close side of my family is a quieter group of people, less prominent, thus there is less information recorded about them.
I think that it's time to join Ancestry.com so I can have access to the sorts of research materials you were able to get into.
The last Close family thread you sent with John and Nancy Close isn't part of our family, but the other census and military information was on the money all the way. Now if I can find THEIR parents names, I can continue my search.
Thanks again so much for all of your wonderful help!
Blessings,
Michelle

Hi Michelle,
I have a Mary Close bc. 1831, who became Mary Close McShane in Kircubbin, CO Down where she died in 1902.
I also have no knowledge of her roots although her grandchildren seem to think it was either Ireland or England?
Bill

Hello!
I am a descendant of John H Close and Mary Bacon Howard Close of Harrison
Township-Montgomery County Ohio.
John H Close was born in 1830 in Ohio (unsure of where), married wife Mary on
6-04-1851 (in Wyandot Co OH), and died in Harrison Township Ohio on 2-16-1905.
I have no birth or death information about his wife Mary Bacon Howard Close.
Among their children was my great grandfather William B Close born 10-02-1862 in
Wyandot County OH, married 3-16-1899 in Portland IN to Mae Barnhardt Hope Close,
and died 12-09-1930 in Portland IN. One of his sons, Charles Edward Close born
6-13-1904 in Portland Indiana is my grandfather.
The trail on John H Close and Mary Bacon Howard Close seems to have dried up.
HELP!
I'd appreciate any information that any other Close cousins might have regarding
these two ancestors!
Thank you so much,
Michelle Close Mills

Hello Joseph, My husband is descended from a Joseph Close that we believe came from Pa, and came to Jefferson Co., OH about 1800. We believe he was married to Rachael Moffett in 1793 in Berkeley Co., VA. Their son William had a son John Nelson Close who married Mary Anne Roberts and migrated to Mercer Co., IL. Another son Josiah Wellngton Close also moved to Mercer Co., IL. John Nelson traveled to IL in the 1850's. Some of these descendants went on to Iowa. I do not have a Raymond Close in my files but there are many lines in the family I do not have. Good luck in your hunt. Do you know where in IL or IA your family lived?
