Hannah Otto, Mohican Twp, Wayne Co OH
Hannah OTTO (abt 1815-1851) married John D NORRIS in 1842 in Mohican (Mohecan) Twp, Wayne County, OH (later this township would become part of the new Ashland County).She died in 1851 age 35 years per the headstone transcription, placing her DOB around 1815.Unsure where she was born, but likely either PA or OH.She was my great-great-grandmother.She had four children:Susanna NORRIS KINNEY, Ann Elizabeth NORRIS WINBIGLER, Vatchel NORRIS, and Edmund NORRIS.Trying to determine who her parents were.
The only OTTO couple I know that would have been having children around 1815 that also moved to Wayne County area prior to 1842 would be Mathias OTTO and Ann Elizabeth HARDMAN.Mathias died in 1830 and is buried in Meng Cemetery, Wayne (now Ashland) County, OH.Ann Elizabeth lived until 1848, listed as head of household in 1840 census in Mohican Twp, Wayne Co., OH; also buried in Meng Cemetery.They had several children, born in PA I believe, including a Hannah... but the birth/marriage/death dates in the listings for Hannah by others I've seen don't match my great-great-grandmother.Maybe there were other OTTO families in the area with marriage-age daughters in 1842; maybe she was a niece/cousin who moved to OH with them; maybe... ??
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
