I have been in contact with one of your relatives, possibly your mother or aunt, Edith
Bricker Ryan, regarding this family line. She was gracious enough to send me some
pictures of Levi, as well as a copy of his Civil War enrollment card and some pages of a
testament with birth information on it. I sent her a few pictures that I had gotten from
my Grandfather Wainman. I am stuck on Levi and his wife. I have found a census entry
that shows a Wainman family with a Levi father and Mary mother from 1894. I also have a
marriage license entry for a Levi Wainman to an Isabel Jacobs that dates 12-23-1825 that I
have yet to prove to be related. I have found several other entries (census, marriage,
birth and death) that could possibly be aunts and uncles. I also have another marriage
entry for a "Lovi" Wainman that shows him marrying an Elis Armstrong which could
be a 3rd marriage. I do not have a death date for the second wife so I have no idea. You
wouldn't think it would b!
e so hard to track down this family given the last name!! It seems I have run across a
branch that went to Canada that is probably related to ours, but who knows how many
generations back beyond Levi and ours that came here to Indiana from where I don't
know and has since spread a branch to the Dakotas and across the country. I would be
happy to send you my notes on Levi and his marriages, etc. if you would like to see it. I
haven't had the time to run it down being the mother of 3 under the age of 5!! It
seems my time is not my own anymore for the most part, but that's ok. Please e-mail
me directly if you like.
