>I am trying to obtain more ancestral information about my
>great-grandfather, Thomas Blaine AUSTIN. I have a cpoy of a Wells County
>Marriage Certificate indicating that Thomas B. Austin and Ida M. Besser
>were married August 28, 1879 by Rev. Wm Beaty. The 1880 Wells County
>(Zanesville) Census lists Thomas and Ida at Dwelling-Family 93-93. That
>census also indicates that Thomas was then a 33 year-old Dentist. If this
>census age is correct his birth-year would be 1846/47. However, other
>family records show a birth-year of 1856 (or 1859?), so there is some
>uncertaity as to his DOB. Family records also indicate Thomas died Oct.
>18, 1886, but I have been unable to locate a death record, cemetery
>record, obituary/death notice to substantiate this DOD. The 1880 Wells
>County Census also indicates that Thomas was born in Ohio; his father was
>born in Penn; and his mother was born in Ohio. However, I don't know what
>Ohio County Thomas was born in, and I don't know his parents given names!
> or his mother's maiden name. I would greatly appreciate any additional
> Wells County information related to Thomas B. Austin--death recording,
> obituary, cemetery record, church record, etc.
