I found this on Rootsweb. Could this be the right one? Shelby County,
Ohio's seat is 70 miles northeast of Wayne County's seat of Richmond, IN.
I have a Sutherland/Southerland line with Rebecca Sutherland, born about
1792 in Virginia. She Married Silas Foster Grinad/Grenade (choose any of
various spellings!) through their daughter Mahulda. However, they were
in Smith County, Tennessee.
I would like to hear back from you on your findings on this.

Near Dayton, Ohio - less than 30 miles or minutes from Wayne County - I
would be happy to do lookups there as I shop in Richmond regularly.

I am looking for a birth record for my G-G Grandmother, Sarah Jane
Downing. She was born 9 February 1840. The family lived in Wayne County.
Her father was William R. [James] Downing but I need her mothers name. It could be
Sutherland.
Were any records of births kept in 1840?
Would there be a death record or cemetery record for her mother at that time? Possibly
Mary or Elizabeth Sutherland Downing. I believe she died in childbirth.
If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
