Hi Carol,
I have not found the parents of Mary Bollinger yet. She m. my
GGGGrandfather John Byroad and had 9 sons, one of whom was Enos Byroad, who
was my GGGrandfather. he m. Nancy Brumbaugh and had abt 8 children, one of
whom was Thomas Neal Byroad, who was my GGrandfather. He m. Susan Ullery
and had 5 children the youngest being my Grandmother Ople "Pansy" Byroad,
she m. Lanus William Purdue and had my Mother Sarah Sue Purdue. She m.
William R. Cook and had 5 children the oldest being Me.
There were Large's in the Byroad Family, Margaret Large m. one of the 9
Byroad boys from John and Mary Bollinger Byroad, and Aaron B. Large who m.
Cynthia Byroad, cousin to my grandmother Pansy.
I recently found John and Mary on the 1860 Bond County, Ill census, after
some kind person here gave me the information, but have not been able to
find Mary on any other census I have checked. I am looking for when she
died and where she is burried. Also for parents and siblings. GGGGrandpa
John is burried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Lebanon, Boone County, Indiana.
There is a Mary Byroad burried in the old, now closed, Cedar Hill Cemetery
in Lebanon, Boone County, Indiana, and I am trying to find out if that is my
Mary Bollinger Byroad. so far I have had no luck. I asked the ladies at
Oak Hill if they had a record of A Mary Byroad being burried in Cedar Hill,
but they don't have that record. I have been told, however, from someone
researching the old cemetery, that there is indeed a Mary Byroad burrried
there. Sure would love to break this major brick wall. She seems to have
been born, married, had children, and died and left no path to search as far
as parents and siblings, date and place of death, and burial. I do know she
was b. between 1809 and 1813 in Ohio. The 1860 census has her being b.
1812/13, but my record says 1809.
The 1860 census has GGGGrandpa John being b. 1803 in Ohio, but my records
have him being b. 1803 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as does the records of
all cousins found in the last 6 years that I have been doing researching.
Can you help? Maybe I can help you with her descendants.
Always searching
Mary

Hi Mary Ann. . Saw your post (below) on the Boone Co list. Can you
tell
me
who the parents were of your Mary Bollinger? Also, what related
lines
with
the Bollingers you have, i.e. do you have Large? I'm watching
similar
names. We might be able to help each other. Look forward to hearing
back. Carol in FL

Hi Kim,
Would it be too much trouble to get a full reading on all of them? Maybe
a
little at a time if it would be better. I do know that all of them
are
mine. I am still searching for GGGGrandma Mary Bollinger Byroad. I am
now
thinking she may have died in Darke County, Ohio before they moved to
Boone
County, Indiana.
I asked The ladies at Oak Hill Cemetery, one of them being a cousin, her
grandmother was Cynthia Byroad cousin to my Grandmother Pansy Byroad, and
they said they had no record there of there being a Mary Byroad being
burried in Cedar Hill cemetery. Guess they must not have full records
then.
I checked the census for 1870 in Boone County, Indiana and could not
find
Mary Bollinger Byroad listed there with GGGrandpa John Byroad, I could
not
find her on the 1880 Boone County, Census either. I did however find
him
living with the brother of susan Ullery and his wife.
This is a real brick wall that I think is time to break down. Is there
any
way I can find out if she did indeed die in Ohio instead of Indiana
before
they all moved here?
I really need to get to Lebanon to do some research there in the library.
Is there any way I can get into the library on my scooter? It is really
hard for me to walk far as I have osteoarthritis bad and also have
breathing
problems. Since I cannot take anything for the arthritis I have to
suffer
with the pain and therefore cannot walk far or stand very long. If I can
get into the library maybe I can check the Darke County Ohio census for
1860
and see if she is listed on it and also the Darke County, Ohio census
for
1870, that is if you have all the state censuses. I usually check them
when
I go to Fort Wayne, as they have all of them there, but Lebanon is
closer.
If I can get into the library on my scooter, I will come this next week
one
day.
Sorry this is so long, just trying to get a few answers.
Thanks
Mary
