Hi Susann,

Are you sure of your identification of Charles and Priscilla as Dick's parents?

I looked for Charles and Priscilla in the 1850, 60, 70 census of Cuyahoga County--did not find a son Dick (Richard, Thomas).

The obituary files for Charles, Priscilla, and their children as listed on the census do not list Dick, (nor does Dick's obituary list any other family members). I wonder if Dick, rather than being a son of Charles and Priscilla, was a nephew or cousin.

I suggest you send for Dick and Priscilla's marriage license (Cuyahoga County Probate Court) and see if his parents are listed. Or maybe his death certificate. I will send you an abbreviated obituary for Dick, so you should be able to access his death cert. easily.

I am e-mailing you the information I found.

Good luck! Lois
