CASE, COLEMAN, GRAY posted by Carol Pierson on Saturday, May 22, 1999

I am researching Watson COLEMAN. I have found his family in the Lake County, LeRoy Township, OH 1850 census; but from there I have hit a brick wall. His children in the 1850 census are: John, age 16, Harriet, age 8, and Allen, age 1. The two youngest children are from his second marriage to Mary Ann Johnson, whom he married in Portage County, OH in 1842. Watson COLEMAN was born around 1805 in Orange County, NY. He married Harriet CASE or GRAY around 1827 in NY. One son, Warren, was born in 1829 in NY. A second son, Charles, (my anscestor), was born in Portage County, OH in 1832. Harriet died around 1835. I am hoping to find any death records or cemetery records for him in Lake County. Thank you.

AUSTIN, BUMP, BUTTON, CARTER, HARRISON, HAYDEN, LONG, LYMAN, RUSH, TRUMAN, WOODARD posted by Mary Kay Cole Ward on Wednesday, June 2, 1999

I'm trying to find out more about Jesse LONG b. abt 1849 of Kirtland, Lake Co, Ohio and his wife and their families. Jesse LONG married abt 1872 Cynthia A. HAYDEN who was born abt 1849 in Munson, Geauga Co., Ohio and she died sometime before Sep 1905 probably in Lake Co. or Geauga Co., Ohio. Cynthia's only known brother, Lyman Austin" [WOODARD] HAYDEN was not "born" into Cynthia's family; he was a WOODARD-the baby brother of my ggggrandmother Octalana WOODARD. Cynthia A. HAYDEN LONG's parents were Anson & Harriet TRUMAN HAYDEN. They had 4 known "biological children" all born in Munson, Geauga, Ohio were: 1.Cynthia A HAYDEN b abt 1849 m Jesse LONG 2. Almeda HAYDEN b Apr 1850 3. Martha Alice HAYDEN b abt 1851 m 29 Sep 1851 Horation RUSH 4. Emma Harriet HAYDEN b 10 Aug 1859 m 1879 William A. HARRISON On the 1870 Kirtland census when my gggrandfather Luman CARTER (74 yrs old) was still alive, he was living with his daughter, Charity CARTER BUMP and her husband Asa BUMP. The Isaac LONG family were their next door neighbors in Kirtland, Ohio. That 1870 census lists Isaac LONG (51 or 54 years old-who "works in grist mill" and was b. in Penn) as the head of the household, Sabra LONG 49 b. NY and Washington Long 17 -farm laborer b. Ohio. I believe they were Jesse LONG's parents. 10 years later in 1880, my gggrandfather, Luman CARTER was dead but his daughter, Charity CARTER BUMP and her husband Asa BUMP were still living in the same home and Jesse LONG & family were now their next door neighbors in the home where Isaac LONG & family had lived 10 years before. The 1880 Kirtland Village, Lake County, Ohio census) shows Jesse LONG 33, his wife Cynthia [HAYDEN]-31 & children Bernice 6 and George 5. When Cynthia A. HAYDEN was 11 yrs old in 1860, her parents had taken another child into their family. He was 3 year old LYMAN AUSTIN WOODARD b. 11 Feb 1857 Munson, Geauga Co, Ohio, the son of Wilson WOODARD and Silala TRUMAN who probably had some connection to the early Mormon church. Lyman "Austin" WOODARD and his 8 siblings were left motherless when he was one year old. Three year old Lyman A. WOODARD was found (per the 1860 Munson, Geauga Co., OH census) living with Anson HAYDEN & wife Harriet TRUMAN HAYDEN and their children in Munson, Ohio. Sometime after that he either was adopted or just took the last name of HAYDEN and was known as "Austin HAYDEN for the rest of his 91 years of life. My mother said her "Uncle Austin" was a small, wiry man who played the fiddle and loved to dance. Lyman Austin [WOODARD] HAYDEN d 12 Jan 1948. He had married abt 1881 Mary E. BUTTON b 1851of Concord, Lake County, Ohio d 15 May 1940 and both are buried in Lot 4, Maple Grove Cem., Thompson, Ohio. They lived in Munson, Geauga Co, Ohio and had at least 2 children there: 1.
