Thanks so much for helping to put these pieces together. I don't know if your Hannah Laywell b. 1778 might be connected to our line or not, or if you are doing much research in the Laywell line.The reasons I am interested in this connection is because we have traced our Thomas Langwell to Dorchester Maryland c 1776.We have found the family spelled all sorts of ways; Langwell/Longwell/Langville/Lngrell/Langrall etc.
Thomas Langwell's oldest daughter was named Hannah Langwell. She was born later than your Hannah Laywell, but Hannah could be a family name.
Many of the Langwells migrated out of Maryland and other areas of the north east, down into the Caswell, and Rockinghm NC, and from there they migrated into Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
However there was a line that migrated into Ross County Ohio, as you mentioned in your letter.And then some of those went into Illinois, Indiana and even into Michigan.
I don't know if you have run across many Laywells, or even if you are researching the line, and so far I have not run across Coyner/Coiner/Koiner in our lines. But it is an interesting thought.
The Greenlawn Cemetery, that you mentioned where yourHannah is buriedThere might be others of our two lines in that Cemetery that would give us further clues. If she was born in 1778, there could be a connection.
I have not checked out Augusta County Virginia for our lines yet, but it is possible that our line went through there when they migrated from Maryland,
Some of the early ones were also in Kent Co. Delaware, and parts of Pennsylvania.
I would love to compare further notes.......Ruth
