I have a Sophia Onstott, born 7-16-1826 in Hicksville, Defiance, Ohio. Daughter of John
(Major) and Elizabeth Onstott. She had 6 siblings of which I show all were born in
Washington County Indiana. She married Elijah Edwards sometime between 1840 & 1847
but where I am not sure. In 1860, she is in the Clay County Illinois census with 8
children. I have her date of death as 11-8-1904 dying in Carlyle Illinois. If this
sounds like your family, they are mine too. I descend from Sophia's brother Levi.
Only 3 of the siblings lived to maturity. Sophia, Levi and Maria who married James
Songer. (Major John married again and had 2 sons from that marriage) I have a limited
amount of information, but would be happy to share. Please e-mail me at my home address -
I don't know if I could find my way back to this message board. It took me forever to
get to it and figure out how to use it!!!
Thanks and God Bless.
