Hello Greg,

I don't know if you are interested in emigrants to Ohio. I have a brief sketch of the Hugh Kaighin -- Eleanor Cannon family of Leroy, Lake County, Ohio. (At least some of this family seems to have Americanized their name to "Carn" before too many years had passed.) I was not able to identify anyone in the IGI that I thought was this Hugh.

Good luck with your project.
Lois Ralph
