There is a listing for a Henry Ferd in the 1860 Federal Census in Auglaize
Twonship (Post Office West Minsths?) on page 176 and 177.
Henry Fers age 38 born in PA
B. Fers age 27 born in OH
J. Fers age 10 male born in OH
E. Fers age 9 female born in OH
Wm Fers age 5 male born in OH
L. Fers age 3 male born in OH
J. Fers age 10/12 male born in OH

Only the first initial was giving for the family members but being that the
wife's name began with a "B" it could possibly be Barbara same for the
letter "J" for Jacob.

Hope this is your family.

Hello. Hope someone out there can help and/or descends from the persons I'm
going to mention.

Ca 1850 Henry Fess w/wife Barbara Herring married and were living in
Colerain, Hamilton, OH (were on census w/last name misspelled FEST). Henry
showed as
being b ca 1822, B ca abt 1831 w/baby Jacob under a year old. Henry's b
date
really 1808, born poss in PA, poss Germany/Alsace/Switzerland. In the same
1850 census there were other Fest families, including Barbara Fess who
married a
Root and is listed as Root w/daughter Louisa Root and several Fesses,
Frederick, Henry, etc. Possible these other Fests were actually Fesses,
w/names
misspelled as w/my Henry. Need to know of other FESS/FEST families living
in
Hamilton county ca 1850. Need to know of any known relationship between my
Henry
and the other FESTs/FESSes. Any help with this would be appreciated. By
the
way, my Henry/Barbara moved to Allen county and Henry died there 1866;
Barbara
remarried Andrew J. Richey, had 2 more children one of whom died young (Elzy
died; Minta lived). Only known record of Henry is their marriage record
1849
Hamilton county and Henry's tombstone and my finding their 1850 census
record.


Any help would be appreciated. And, really want to hear from any FESS/FEST
descendants, either to see if our lines connect or at least to know for sure
they do not and eliminate them.

Thank you.

Pavla Chandler
