Sorry: Do not know this Close family.
Am connected to the Close family from the Chesterton, Indiana area.
From Germany and both died in the plague that swept the area
afterwards. Only can guess they were buried in the POTTER's FIELD,
where all the rest were buried back then in.
Related to anyone from that area, or era ?

My husband, Glenn Close, is a descendent of Joseph Close and Rachel Moffett. Joseph is my husbands great-great grandfather. His great grandfather was William Close, we believe he was the oldest son of Joseph, his grandfather was Isaac Hamil Close. Glenn's father was Louis Close b. 1888, Glenn will be 88 the end of this month. We were actively searching several years ago but due to age have not done much recently. If Michael and Hannah were the parents of Joseph I don't understand why those names were not carried down through and they were not in our line and in the ones we have studied.

Joseph and Rachel had a lot of children. One of them, Jacob, married Margaret Frye. They also had many children, including John W Close, who married Althyne Wyman. They, too, had many children, including my great-grand father, David Peter Close. If anyone wants to know more about this branch of the family, please feel free to contact me.

I too have been researching this line. Michael Close and Hannah of Berelely Co. WV, They left descendants in Putnam Co. and Adams Co. OH. I do have a contact who claims Hannah had an inheritance in Switzerland.
Unfortunately all this is buried at the moment. There is a man who tried to sort out all of the Peters,
Johns Michaeils. I will dig around after the new year.
So. glad to see the good work you have done. and glad someone else out there working on them.
