Message Board Post:
I am replying to this message in the hopes that someone can help me break down my brick wall. I am seeking Solomon Clouser and Catherine Russell. Below is a brief consolidated list of my information. Because Elizabeth Schmitt stated that she got some information from a Susannah M. Russell in 1981 from Canton, Ohio, I thought a link could be made with my Solomon and back to PA.
Thanks, Tim Clouser

CLOUSER Family Movement:
William is born in PA in 1833 and Susan is born in OH in 1835. Therefore I assume the family moved to Ohio between 1833 and 1835.
Hetta was born in OH in 1844 and Solomon bought land in Indiana on 20 March 1849. Therefore I assume the family moved to Indiana after 1844 and before March 1849.
RESLER Family Movement:
Nathan is born in PA in 1834 and Matilda is born in OH in 1836. Therefore I assume the family moved to OH between 1834 and 1836.
Adam was born in OH in 1847 and the family is in the 1850 Cicero Twp., Tipton County, Indiana census. Therefore I assume the family moved to IN after 1847 and before 1850. This information is consistent with the CLOUSER family movement above.
