Isaac and Juliann are my GGG-grandparents.
Isaac born in Pennsylvania (don't know any more on that)
His ages in census: 1850 he is 30; 1870 he is 58; 1880 he is 71.
so he was born between 1808 and 1819.
I could not find him in 1860 Osnaburg pages
But in the above mentioned he is always in Osnaburg township.
Isaac married Juliann SPONSELLER, Dec 25, 1845 in Stark County.
by Peter Herbruck, MG (a German Reformed minister from Canton)
She is daughter of John and Catherine (Herbster) SPONSELLER.
I do not know anything about Isaac's ancestors
nor do I know where he was or when he died after 1880.
do not know what happened to Juliann either.
***************************
From Census I have gathered these children:
***Peter John ZELLER, born about 1846
***Catherine ZELLER, born abt 1846 (maybe twins?)
***William ZELLER, born 4 jan 1849 (My GG-Grandfather)
William left Stark county to marry Salinda SHIRK in Crawford Co., Ohio
and raised his children in Wyandot county, Ohio
***Isaac ZELLER Jr., born abt Feb 1950
married Malinda Lehr in 1880 and died young at 1881
***George Washington ZELLER, b. abt 1852
married Malinda Lehr's sister, Lamaan Lehr abt 1875
raised his family in Osnaburg
***James ZELLER, b. abt 1855
***Andrew ZELLER, b. abt 1863
James and Andrew went on out to California, lived together and
did house painting, probably never married, both single in 1930 census
***Alice ZELLER, b. abt 1860
***Matilda Elizabeth, b. abt 1865
