for
Andrew.
All birth dates came from Common PLeas records for Stark county, Ohio. as did
guardianship records.\
Besides the above mentioned guardians in 1843 Samuel GANTZ was appointed
guardian for Daniel & John Flory.
Does anyone have any information on this family? I certainly would
appreciate the help.
