Surname: HOUDYSHELL, ROBINSON, GENTIS, SHOWALTER
-------------------------
I am descended from Jacob and Mary "Polly" (ROBINSON) HOUDYSHELL, that
lived in Wells County, IN during the 1830s to 1860s. They had a son George
HOUDYSHELL that married Susannah GENTIS in Clark County, Ohio in 1834.
George and Susannah (GENTIS) HOUDYSHELL also lived in Wells County, IN
during that time period. George and Susannah HOUDYSHELL had a son Isaac
HOUDYSHELL that married Susannah SHOWALTER near Bluffton in 1859. Isaac
HOUDYSHELL is my g-g-grandfather. He died in 1925 in Fredonia, Wilson County,
Kansas, as did his wife. Jacob HOUDYSHELL died in 1868 and is buried in
Harrison Township in Lin Cemetery, but I have no information concerning
the death and burial of his wife, Mary. Can anyone help me with information
on Mary "Polly" (ROBINSON) HOUDYSHELL? The SHOWALTER family? The GENTIS
family? If anyone is interested, I have information on the descendents
of Isaac and Susanah HOUDYSHELL that I will share. I am also interested
in the HOUDYSHELLs that remained in Wells County.
