My primary objective is to provide a means of communicating with family members and those who share an interest in history and genealogy. The contents were gathered from several sources, including many family members who have contacted me through this web site. I've made some judgments concerning conflicting and incomplete information. Additions and especially corrections are always welcome and encouraged.  - Steve Oberlin, Fishers, Indiana

I am seeking additional information concerning Mary Wagoner (b1809), wife of Adam Oberlin (b1801). It's widely believed she was the sister of Phillip (c1795), Christian (c1805), and John J. (b1795). Her father was possibly John Wagoner of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Another elusive individual is Mary's mother-in-law, also named Mary (Maria), wife of Frederick Oberlin (c1777). Mary was born in Maryland in 1779 and died 15 May 1871, in Steuben County, Indiana. Frederick was born in Lancaster County, moved to Cumberland County about 1790 where he likely met Mary. They relocated to Stark County, Ohio in 1810, where he died in 1828. Frederick is often confused with the Frederick Oberlin who lived in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania. Over the years, I have discovered several ancestors and distant cousins who have attained a degree of fame or notoriety. Granted, most are very distant relatives and are probably related to large numbers of the populace. It is however worth noting these people as members of our family.
