Surname: Moyer, Bailey, Lamb, Collins, Taylor, Wolf, Sheets
-------------------------
Do you know Ellen Moyer's father's name? I am looking for connections to
Lydia Catharine Moyer. She was the daughter of Jacob and Catherine Moyer
(I've also seen it spelled Mayer), and she was born in Lehigh, PA in 1820.
Her family migrated to Lordstown, OH around 1826; she married Peter Bailey
there in 1841. They moved to Wells County where Peter had a land patent;
see my other postings for other Bailey lines and links, including Lamb,
Collins, Taylor, Wolf, and Sheets.
I know she had the following siblings: Sarah 1822, Nathan 1824, Daniel
1826, Catherine 1827, Mary (Polly)1828, Lovina 1829, and Elizabeth (Beth)1831,
plus two others whose names I haven't found (probably died in infancy).
I don't know that any of these siblings also moved to Wells County, but
I wanted to explore the possibility. It seemed that Nathan or Daniel could
have been the father of your Ellen.
Please let me know if there are any connections.
