STAFFY/STEFFYdblackstone54@1st.net January 15, 2004 posted by Debbie Blackstone

Am trying to locate the surname and family information concerning Mary (?) who married John Staffy/Steffy (many different spellings for this surname). According to her death certificate she died on the 5 Jun 1887 in Noble County, OH. Harrison County, OH is listed on the death certificate as her place of birth. I have not been able to locate a marriage date for this couple either. Possibly married in Harrison County. They were the parents of 11 children. One of these children was Lorenzo D Staffy born 1844. Married Mary Matilda Decker in Noble County, OH. Died 29 Jun 1908 in Freeport, Harrison Co., OH. Do not know where he is buried. Neither have I been able to locate a place of burial for John and Sarah. Any help with this information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

CLARK, HAVEN, SPICHT genealogymom64@yahoo.com  February 9, 2004 posted by Judy Blackman

I am looking for information on Alanson CLARK.  The only information that I have is that he was the son of Freeman CLARK and Serepta HAVEN.  He was born about 1830 in Cortland Co., NY (probably in Scott).  He had brothers: Freeman, Melvin, Henry, Leonard, Nelson and George. He also had sisters: Angelina, Betsy and Celestia.  They  all lived in the Allegany Co., NY area. He was married before 1855 to Julia. He was living in Scio, Allegany Co., NY .  He was a Civil War Veteran.  Before 1872 he was married to Serepta SPICHT who was born in Ireland. This marriage information was off from his son Fred's marriage license.
