Hi Brent,Your Mary Searfoss may be related to my Melvina Searfoss (Searfaus) (1823-1870) of Franklin Co,perhaps sisters. I found that Mary Searfoss and John Oakley located to Howard County near Cassville/Vermont/Kokomo around 1846 whenMelvina and husband Daniel Rarey of Madison Twp., Franklin Co located to Howard County on 160 acres land patent.In the 1850 census the Oakley's and Rarey's (spelled Rane) were living next door to each other.Mary and John's first child was named Joseph Trimble Oakley and I saw a Headstone of Joseph Trimble Rarey in the old Rarey Cemetery in Groveport, Franklin Co, Ohio.They are buried in the old Salem Cemetery in Howard County near Kokomo, IN. Any help you can give me?I cannot seem to find a direct connection to any sibling or parent except Mary Searfoss. Thanks, Jo
