JEWETT, LANCE, LANZ posted by Karl Beckstrand on Monday, November 22, 1999

I am trying to locate information on my ggg grandfather, Samuel JEWETT, who was married to Sophia LANCE (or LANZ) about 1843 in Morgan (now Noble) County. They had one daughter, Cynthia, born Nov. 26, 1844 in Akron, I believe. Samuel is purported to have died on the Great Lakes (between 1843-1846). His widow and daughter joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kirtland (Lake Cty). Sophia remarried in Nouvoo, IL, and they migrated to Utah after that. I'm seeking any records on Samuel--birth, marriage, or death. (I'm hoping to find info on his parents too.) Thanks.

CLINE, LLOYD posted by Marty Stetz on Sunday, November 28, 1999

Huldah LLOYD was b. 6 May 1817 in Ohio. Married Herman CLINE 24 Dec 1835 in Willoughby Twp. She died 10 Aug 1852. Am looking for information concerning her parents. Possible that she was the daughter of either Thomas LLOYD (b. about 1792 in Massachusetts) or Leicester LLOYD (b. about 1794 in Massachusetts). Thomas LLOYD and Leicester LLOYD both owned land in what is now Wickliffe, Lake County. CLINE family might have also owned land near the LLOYD's. Would appreciate any help establishing a Huldah LLOYD and Thomas or Leicester LLOYD link.
