About Our Family Research


This branch of the Moorman ancestoral family included descendants of William Moorman of Fayette County,Ohio. William appears for the first time in the 1820 Ohio Census. Research conducted by Maragret Moorman Mitchell of Lancaster,PA tried to establish a relationship between this William Moorman and for Moorman men who settled in Allen County,OH in the 1830's.

One of these four Moorman men was William Moorman who followed a number of careers including gunsmith(1850), miller(1860), and minister(1870), according to census records. He was a co-founder of the Hartford Christian Church and buried there along with his wife, Nancy(Arnold), and several children, Elizabeth and Calvin. Calvin's son, William, is also buried in the Old Hartford Church cemetery. William died at age 37 in 1899.

William's wife, Margaret Ella Hanley, remarried and I remember her as "Grandma Patrick." Her son, Harry Harrison, was my grandfather and died at age 30 in a railroad accident. His older son was Merlin Melvin, my father. His children now live in Virginia, West Virginia, and Nevada. A daughter, Patricia died in 1989.

The William Moorman of Fayette County,OH may have been the son of Charles and Judith(Moon) Moorman of Bedford County,Virginia. If so, I have now return to the ancestoral home state.
