I'm looking for an obit and the burial place of P. W. (Perez/Peres Walton) CHURCH and
his wife Elizabeth. They were married 17 Aug 1837 in Allen County, Ohio. I find this
family on the 1850 U.S. Census of Duchouquet Township, Wapakoneta, Auglaize County, Ohio.
Information I have indicates that he died 12 Feb 1853. Could someone find out if there is
an obituary for him and where he is buried? His daughter, Maria Church is my direct
ancestor. The following is from the 1850 US Census, page 351, lines 12-21, Family# 844,
Dwelling# 844:
P.W. Church, age 40, Mason, RE=330, born Vermont
Elizabeth Church, age 29, born Ohio
William Church, age 10, born Ohio
Mariah Church, age 5, born Ohio
James Church, age 3, born Ohio
David Church, age 3, born Ohio
Rebecca A. Church, age 9/12, born Ohio
John Church, age 33, Laborer, born Ohio [brother to P.W.?]
Joseph Hamilton, age 53, Mill Wright, RE=200, born Delaware [what relationship is he to
this family?]
Gemima Godfrey, age 19, born Ohio [what relationship is she to this family?]
Mariah Jane CHURCH was in Iowa by 1862, when she married, and became the 2nd wife of
George W. ZIMMERMAN, born 1823 in Ross County, Ohio. Their 11th and last child was my
grandfather, Walter Leroy ZIMMERMAN. Thanks for any help that you can provide.
