I too am from Tiffin, although now living in Columbus.
I have Zeller family I am researching in Stark County.
*
My GG-grandfather William Zeller, b. 1849 in Canton
He died 6 FEb 1931 in Wyandot Co., Ohio
He is a son of Isaac and Catherine Sponseller. (from his obit)
William ended up in Wyandot county to raise his family.
I am trying to document his birth and find more on his ancestry.
I do not know his sibling's names, but his obit indicates he had four brothers and
two sisters.

I have found the following family in 1870 Census in Osnaburg twp., Stark County.
The age fits my William, but the wife's name does not.
I am wondering if Isaac was married twice, maybe the first wife died?
This is the "closest" match I have found so far on William before his marriage.
