I am researching the Ryan family in Clinton County. We have at least
four generations, and probably more, that lived in Clinton County from
1830 on. Reuben and James were the fathers that brought their families
from Preble County, Ohio in 1829-30. Reuben's sons included Lucas and
Richard, while James' included John and Richard, and possibly William.
Lucas' sons included William and George, and John's sons included James
and Richard.
I'd like to be in touch with anyone researching this family, and in
particular with those who have ancestors who married Ryan women. We
know Reuben's daughter Elizabeth married Leander Jacobs while her cousin
Frances married his brother. We know Reuben's daughter Anna married
Joseph Thompson. Other Ryan names included Sarah, Elizabeth, Nancy,
Ann. Most of these names appear in multiple families.
Thanks!
Bruce Ryan
