Jim,

I don't have any info concerning your question, but I noticed among the
names you are searching is Curtiss.... would that also be in Huron County?
I am looking for Truman and Mary Brewster Curtiss/Curtis. I have a little
info on them but need more.

Subject: [OHHURON-L] Query about Edward
Lafayette DAVIS





It has been over 4 years since I submitted this query to the list, so

thought I would try again, in the hope that someone has joined since

then who could shed some light:



I would greatly appreciate any information that
would help identify

the parents of my grandfather, Edward Lafayette (Lafe) DAVIS.
According

to his death certificate (information provided by my grandmother), he

was born in Blanket Hill, OH on March 9, 1872 and his parents were

Albert DAVIS and May SHELL, both born in PA. However, for the 1900

census, Lafe stated that he was born in PA and I can find no evidence

that there ever was a Blanket Hill, OH. He married Harriet SNYDER in
New

Haven Township, Huron County, OH on October 14, 1896 and died there
on

September 22, 1923.

According to a history of the RUBINS family,
published by a distant

cousin in 1973, "Edward's parents died young and he was raised by
foster

parents." I don't know where she got that information, but Lafe's

daughter was still living then, so maybe she supplied it.
