Hi Carole,
This William isn't the father of my Sarah.My Sarah was b.1853, and your William was only 3 yr old then. I have her death cert which gives her birthdate as Oct. 28, 1853 in Ohio. Her father was William Houser, who was stated as being born in Va.The informant was Sarah's husband Jerry, my gg grandfather.This was in Monmouth, Warren Co, Illinois.I think you are referring to Warren Co, Ohio in your post.
Below is from the census in Illinois:
Sarah and her parents and siblings are listed in the 1860 Warren Co, Illinois census.There is William 47 b.Va, wife Francis A. 46 b.OH, dtr Hester A. 18 b.OH, dtr Maritta C. 16 b.OH, dtr Francis J. 14 b.OH, son Richard H. 12 b.OH, dtr Harriet C. 10 b.OH, dtr SARAH 8 b.OH, son Winfield 6 b.OH, and finally son William 4, b.OH.
So that's not to say that the Houser's in OH aren't related to my line since I don't know where in Ohio any of mine were born for sure.Also, William's wife Francis is a mystery since she was b.OH, but I don't have a maiden name for her.It's an ongoing mystery for that info, but Sarah was in IL with her family in 1860.I'd appreciate any further Houser info you might have in relation to what I've written here.I'm always open to exploring new avenues.
Sue
