Rosie,
I'd love to see the Wooster article. I am stuck on Joseph Gallagher b.
1821 in Wayne Co., Ohio. I have a picture of him taken in Wooster. He
and his wife, Frnaces Adair b. 1855, were married in Wayne in 1872. They
then moved to Mansfield, Richland Co., Ohio. Frances is buried in the
Mansfield Cemetery, but my mother recalls Joseph was not next to her
(?married prior, notice the age difference.) I wonder if Joseph is a
brother to your three sisters or perhpas to their father? Are we in the
right time frame? Joseph & Frances children were Joseph Carrel s.p. &
Leona Cecilia. The family is mentioned in History of Richland Co., OH
,but it doens't mention who Joseph's parents were.
