Stuck On Gensel's (1840's)
I'm researching for my family and I'm stuck my gg-grandfather was Jacob W Gensel (b. 1840) died in Kansas was a civil war 5th Ohio Calv.He had two brothers John T and James listed together living with the Butterballs in Ohio (cen. 1850).I was told they were "farmed out" I think due to the death of one or both parents.
If someone has more information I'm stuck I know that Jacob said he and his parents were born in Penn. but I don't have any other information from living relatives.
Thanks for any help.
