The Family Tree of Jeanne H. RolandUpdated September 5, 2000 | |
Surnames in my family tree include Andrews, Brown, Bamford, Barnes, Burnett, Frazier, Nelson, Smith and Sommers. Areas include New Haven, CT; Trenton and Atlantic City, NJ; Muskingum and Belmont Co, Ohio; Switzeralnd Co Indiana, Woodford/Tazewell Co, Illinois; and finally Wayne Co., Iowa. On my maternal side,Amos Andrews Brown (b. 1780 in New Haven, CT) migrated to Indiana where he married Ruth Nelson in the early 1800s. She was the youngest of 10 children, all of whom settled in Switzerland and Ripley Counties in southern Indiana. Amos, Ruth and their six children moved west to Woodford Co, Illinois in 1832. In 1852 they all packed the wagons again and moved to southern Iowa, mostly Wayne Co. Smiths of Belmont Co., Ohio and Sommers from St. Clair Co, Illinois married into the Brown clan. The Fraziers were from New Jersey and moved to Muskingum Co, Ohio around 1840.Am just beginning to research these folks.Anna Burnetts came from Scotland in 1850. She married Charles F. Frazier in 1861 in Illinois. They lived briefly in MO and then returned to Ohio where they both died by 1881, leaving five children including William, my grandfather. Paternal lines include Bamfords from Trenton,NJ and Barnes, also from NJ, probably Atlantic City. Would be delighted to share information on any of these folks with anyone interested in them. It's always fun to find new cousins! | |
