I am looking for information on a William Henry Mansfield (b. c. 1818 in Athens Co., OH)
He was first married to a Rosamond Cass and they later moved to Defiance and Paulding
Counties in Ohio. Rosamond died in 1872 in Paulding County and is buried there.
Supposedly William was to be buried there also, however, there is no evidence of a
headstone or even a base for a headstone near Rosamond's. I questioned whether
William may have remarried and discovered that he did to a Martha Bennett, in Paulding
County. I later find a W.H. and Martha Mansfield in the 1880 Census in Liberty Twp.,
White Co., IN. William's daughter Susannah is living with them. I am wondering first
if there is a death record after 1880 for William and also where he is buried. Any other
information regarding Martha or Susannah is also appreciated.
