I believe my earlier post is mistaken as my mother may have confused some names. She told
me her Grandfather was Robert Austin Hesler and he married Mabel Bell Richards.
I looked at the 1910 and 1920 census and found Lawrence Helser (my mother's father)
and Robert A Helser (my grandfather's brother) lived in Cain, Fountain Ind. Robert L
Hesler also lived in Cain and was born 25 to 30 years ealier. A genealogy by Thomas
Hesler indicates that Robert L Hesler was married to Mable Bell Richards. The census does
not mention a Robert Austin Helser in connection with my grandfather Larry and
great-uncle Bob.
Thomas Hesler's genealogy extends this line back to William Hesler from Germany
(William, Jacob, Robert, Austin H, to Robert Lee). There are many branches including
Kentucky, Indiana.
