Thank you for your reply. Very interesting to say the least but such a sad story. I did a
quick search and found a few family trees with both Godfrey & Elizabeth. The first
states Elizabeth died: 25 Sep 1865 in Koscuisko, Indiana she and Godfrey were married 1
Aug 1816 in Coshocton, Ohio
and appears her parents were from PA. The second one has a little more on Godfrey and says
he died 31 JUL 1860 in Henry County, Missouri. HOWEVER there is a third tree that states
he passed in Warsaw, Kosciusko Co, IN on the same date?

My great grandfather Fred W. Kibler was born in Kosciusko in 1853. The family apparently
relocated to Wappello, IN. I am trying to find out information about his parents and have
hit a brick wall with them. I hoping there may be a connection with some of the other
Kibler's in Kosciusko. Past research indicates Philip & Margaret Kibler came from
PA. I haven't had any luck locating their marriage records or census records in PA or
OH as of yet. Although Fred indicates that his father Philip was of Welch heritage and
spoke Welch. Maybe this information might lead me to a county in OH where they may have
settled before going to Kosicusko.
Thank you, your information would clear up the Kiber - Hiner - Wolford connection.
