I am trying to track down a Sarah E Clear who was born in Indiana abt 1851. I originally
beleived she was the daughter of Cornelius Clear and Mary Root but recently disproved that
association. I am now working to see if I can establish a relationship with any other
Clear family members from Darke Co., Ohio since Sarah married my GG grandfather Philip H
Snyder who lived in Butler and Twin Twps., Darke Co., Ohio. Philip Clear and Permelia
Clapp seem to be a logical next assumption to track down since Philip Clear was an
original 1830 land owner in Darke Co., record 1E 11N 9W1/2SE. This record indicates land
ownership in the German Twp., Darke Co., Ohio and this twp sits diagonally adjacent to
Butler Twp., Darke Co., Ohio. The one record I have for Sarah Clear is that she was 19
years old in 1870 and was born in Indiana. Does anyone know what part (Twp) of Randolph
Co., Philip Clear and Permelia Clapp ( I Trying to narrow down my 1860 census search)
Thanks
