John..
I am so happy that you were able to find
Eleanor Bayes' family at the courthouse.
You have also given me the name of the
township in which she and her family lived
prior to going on to Ohio.I did not have
that information.I do know that Eleanor
Bayes was the daughter of Thomas Bayes
and Anna Wright McMillen.Anna was the
daughter of James McMillen and Eleanor
Wright.Eleanor was the daughter of
James Wright and Margaret Unknown of
Hanover, PA.James Wright was the son of
John Wright, Esq. of Wright's Ferry, PA,
and that is as far as I have on that line.
Thomas Bayes was the son of the Reverend
Jewell Steven Bayes, a Methodist minister,
and his wife Nancy McMillen.We are not
sure if these McMillens are related to one
another.Anyway, Thomas Bayes was the
first Justice of the Peace in Wauseon, OH
and is considered to be one of the founders
of the city.The Bayes Cemetery is quite
large and though old, is kept up; many of
my Bayes and McKibbin relatives are buried
there, as are Thomas Jr and wife, Eleanor.
Strangely, my mother's married name is
Eleanor McKibbin.
I will be delighted to have your book and
to compare notes.I agree that it is not
always easy to read the old longhand
script.I was lucky to get my family bible
started by Thomas Jr and Eleanor Bayes in
which they wrote all of the names, dates,
etc.Sadly, the pages are yellow and
brittle and I will not be able to save the
pages once they break.I wish that I could
do it.I have been trying to locate the
birthplace of Thomas Jr, born in 1806, in
County Down without success.Perhaps you
will give me the clues that I need to do
this.I hope that you get this message
because Pridigy has taken over my flash.net
and while I can receive mail, I am not
able to send it as of today.
Please write again when you have time.I
am very excited about comparing notes.This
is my family of greatest interest
McKibbin.
Regards and thanks..
Marilyn
