QUERY!!


I am looking for information regarding John W. Summers, his wife Martha Summers, and their daughter Theressa Summers.  They lived in Washington Township, Lawrence County, Ohio in the late 1800"s.  I know John was born about 1846 and Martha died February 12, 1889 and is buried in Olive Cemetery.  Theressa, my grandmother, married Grove White and lived in Lancaster, Ohio.  I would appreciate any information.  Thank you.

NEW!  Please help me find William Isitt!


I am trying to trace a distant relative named William Isitt, who was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1815 and emigrated to the U.S., arriving in New York in April 1842 on the "Sheridan". I have a copy of a letter that he wrote to his brother and sister in Wales on July 17th 1848. His address at that time was Hanging Rock, Lawrence County, Ohio.
 
Other than this letter, and the record of his arrival in New York, I have been able to find absolutely no record of William Isitt in the U.S. 
 
I am wondering if you have any ideas, or if you can suggest someone who could undertake some paid research for me.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Best regards
