- Godfrey Kummerer owned farm land in Warren Township, Trumbell County, Ohio, USA. He is buried in the Lordstown Lutheran Cemetary. Warren, being a Township in this year, might now be the City of Lordstown. We do know that he was born in Wuttemberg, Germany in the year 1820. His parents are unknown at this time, but I'm in the process now of trying to get this info through the marriage records (if they were married in OH). Richie, my Ohio cousin, had an uncle-in-law who says that he found Godfrey on the ships manifestation showing that Godfrey came here with a wife, 3 children and a trunk. This is incorrect. The names of Daniel, Percilla, Samuel and Lottie had been given to me as a teen-ager when I began asking questions of the family history. Over the years, it has been supported by the census rolls, but showing that Percilla, not Daniel, was the eldest as I had recorded the children by eldest to youngest as my grandma had told me. Alas, this is the year 1996 that I have this wonderful program to get all of the data that I retain knowledge and written geneology records of onto, and grandma passed away on Christmas Eve 1975. I have just supported more evidence of this fact - see Eva's notes.
Godfrey did marry Eva Barbara Boulder born in Saxe-Corburg (Saxony), Germany on December 10, 1836 and died in Warren, Trumbell County, Ohio, USA on May 16, 1926. She is buried at Oakwood Cemetary in Warren.
Godfrey was 16 years older than Eva. Was there possibly another marriage?
Census rolls: 1860 M-653 Reel 1040. 1870: M-593 Reel 1272. 1880: T-9 Reel 1070. 1900.
I have today recieved info from the Rev. Dr. Johnny Bell, Paster of the Lordstown Church having helped me with the research on Godfrey. The death record of Godfrey show that he was 59 years and 15 days old at the time of his death. Making his birth date at December 30, 1820? November 30, 1820? He died of Epilepsy December 15, 1879. He was 59 years, 15 days old. I also have received extensive info from William and Betty Dunbar at Oakwood cemetary on all of the family as to actual birth and death dates, fathers and mother of the deceased that I did not have. I thank them for their help.
Trying to make sure that I have all notes on everyone is delaying me getting all of the info to the Family World Maker that I have on the family, so I am going to stop making all of my notes and sources complete. All of my research has been verified through family records, birth certificates, death certificates, census rolls, cemetary records, church records, marriage records. I am going to record everything that I have todate, send it in the the Family World Maker and then go back and record my sources and notes. My off/on again reseach has taken me over 40 years of questions of the Maskelis, Kendanis, Kummerer, Sullivan, etc families.
