Hello:

I am looking for information on Joseph Myers who came from Germany in 1834
and settled in Ridgefield Twp. with his wife and ten children. I am
descended from one of his sons, Mark Myers, on my father's side. Another
ancestor of mine, Benedict Smith, also lived in Ridgefield Twp. and married a
Catherine Myers in the early 1840's. How can I find out if Catherine was one
of Joseph's daughters? The 1840 census lists only the head of the household
and she was married by 1850. You can contact me at:

Hi Joe,

I'm afraid I had no luck in identifying Catherine MYERS as a daughter of
Joseph MYERS.

However, I did find the marriage of Benedict SMITH to Catherine MYERS, and
two other references to a Benedict SMITH.

The references are from our Huron County, Ohio publications, and are
published by HCC/OGS unless otherwise indicated.

1. Huron County, Ohio Marriages, 1815-1900, by Scheuer Publications, 1992.

Benedict SMITH m. Catharine MIER 9 Oct 1843.

2. Huron County, Ohio Cemetery Inscriptions.

St. Paul's Catholic Cemetery, Norwalk Township.

Page 512. Section 5-- Row 3.
13 Benedict SMITH 1856-1932.
14 Matilda SMITH 1884-1917.
15 Edward Joseph SMITH 23 Jan 1889-29 Aug 1945 OH Pvt 114 AM TN 39 Div WW1.
16 Lawrence SMITH 1859-1939 Father.
Amelia SIMON 1862-1915 Mother.

(The birth year would rule out this Benedict as your Benedict, but maybe
there's still a relationship between the two?).

2. Death Index, 1867-1908.

Benedict SMITH d. 05/27/1872. Vol. 1, Page 31.
Catharine SMITH d. 09/06/1884. Vol. 1, Page 114.
