GRIFFITH enlisted in Army at Union County. He was 34 years old. His wife, Rhoda K.

GUIDER, WAGNER, WAGONER posted by Sharon B. Lodge on Thursday, July 20, 2000: Searching for John S. WAGONER born abt 1837 in Switzerland, who married Henrietta GUIDER Dec. 18, 1864.

posted by Nancy Lee White on Thursday, July 27, 2000: There has been a lot of interest shown in the past to have our own Hardin County Mail List for genealogy interests. I am very happy to say that we now have it available. You can reach it from the following Hardin County GenExchange link: http://www.genexchange.org/county.cfm?state=oh&county=hardin Go to the Mailing Lists heading and click on Ohio Mailing lists; it will take you to the form to fill out to subscribe. Be sure to choose the Mailing List that you want; OHHardin-Rooters. Also be sure and check the databases there periodically. I've been adding data on a daily basis. You just might find that piece of the puzzle you're looking for. Also check Maggie's World of Courthouse Dust and Genealogy Fever, Census Project. Click on 1870, Ohio, and go down to Hardin Co. and click on partial. They have my Blanchard Township transcript of the 1870 Census available online and they will have the Buck Township by August. If you have bookmarked the Hardin County GenExchange page already, please change the URL to that above.
