Is the Louis Dryer, b. 1824 OH, by any chance Lyman Louis Dryer? I am not a
cousin, but I live in Dayton, IN, and like to research the early residents.
I have collected a bit of information on Lyman Louis Dryer. He left quite
a few records and apparently liked to research Dayton history. The info on
his parentage is sketchy, however. I'll have to check my records, but I
believe his father was Edward Dryer, and I'm not sure I knew who his mother
was. As I remember, the information I have says that his mother died, and
his father returned to OH, or wherever they had lived before, and then
died.The accounts he left say he was an orphan from about that age. Louis
seems to have stayed here with relatives, or returned after his parents
died. We had a lot of Gregorys and Dryers in Dayton. Hiram David Gregory
(of Butler Co, OH) was one of the three founders of the town, and I am
distantly related to him.
Could Margaret Gregory be a second wife?

Sharon,
I'm curious regarding JESSIE HENTZ. By any chance were her parents John
Hentz and Ida A. Moore? If so, Ida was my grandfather's sister. Ida
was born 2/14/1858 and died 1/28/1911.
