I was pleased to find your post in
Ancestry.com.
I believe my grandmother was one of the Yoxtheimer orphans you refer to.
Her name was Joshephine Yoxtheimer Kintner. After the death of her parents, I'm
fairly certain she was raised by a Zook family.
I thought she and my grandfather, Charley Milton Kintner, were both from Ohio, in, or
around Defiance County. However, I believe they did, at an earlier time, live in Carroll
County, Indiana.
They lived in Greentown, IN when she died. She had a sister named Oasie, and two
brothers, George and Henry, both of whom were in the Civil War. I have never been able to
find them in my feeble search to learn about their military records. The family story,
as I remember it, one of them, (not sure which one) was killed in the war.
Delighted to find you! How are you related? On my side, so little was known of
Josie's family.
