My research for Frederick BLACK, b. (unknown) d. 1 May 1816, m. Mary (maiden name unknown: ARGABRIGHT ?) has led me to Darke County, where I find many of the names of their children, which I'll list below: Susana BLACK who married David LYONS , Elizabeth BLACK, m. 10 Oct. 1811 to William HOLE, Joseph BLACK, John BLACK b. 26 April 1796 (VA) d. 13 Oct. 1869 in Elkhart County, IN [John married Magdalena (unknown maiden name) b. 13 Nov. 1796 (Maryland) d. 13 Sept 1879 Elkhart Co. IN], Frederick BLACK Jr, Sally BLACK, Peter BLACK, Polly BLACK, Mary BLACK. I have no known birth dates for the children except for John BLACK. In the Census Index for Twin Township, I find the names Frederick, Jacob, James, Joseph, Peter, and feel this might be the family I am researching. I am trying to confirm that Frederick and Mary BLACK are the parents of Susan. Thank you for any information that you could provide me.

I am trying to find out some information on a John OBREST that was married in the year of 1847 to Harriet WILLIAMS, in Darke Co., OH. I believe he may be a relation to a Francis Xavier OBREST (m.

The OBREST family I know are Roman Catholic; he also may be too!

Walter LEAS (my Grandfather) is supposed to have emigrated from the Darke county area of Ohio to Canada near the turn of the century. I know his history, but I do not know my great-grandfather's given name, or any previous LEAS history. All I know is that the point of origin (before Canada) was Greenville, Ohio. I would be very interested in any history associated with the surname LEAS or any birth records of a Walter Leas! Thanks if you can help!
