ALLSPAW, ALSPACH, ALSPAUGH posted by David Allspaw on Sunday, September 29, 1996

I am looking for any/all information on the ALLSPAW family. I am just getting started on trying to gather information, so I really need all possible leads. My family name began as ALSPACH when ancesters immigrated from Amsterdam, changed to ALSPAUGH some time around the Civil War, and later anglicized to ALLSPAW, possibly in southern Indiana, the Bloomington - Bedford area. It is possible that some relatives moved to Virginia or North Carolina at some time, uncertain when. MOST are believed to have been in the Van Wert - Mercer County area and in Adams County, Indiana. All leads will be VERY much appreciated! Thank you.

ASHMAN, ESCHMANN, RAPP, ROTH posted by Joan Riehle Ruse on Sunday, September 29, 1996

My second great-grandfather was John RAPP who immigrated from France c1831 and settled with wife amd children in Clermont Co., OH. His wife, Catherine, died before 1848 and he married for the second time 25 Dec 1848 to Magelena ROTH ESCHMANN/ASHMAN of Darke Co., OH. She was widow of Peter ESCHMANN/ASHMAN who farmed near Greenville, OH, and died 1847. They had 8 children. There is a geneology of them that mentions only "she later mar. Mr. RAPP". She applied for a divorce in 1855 (CPC 20 Feb 1855) which was denied. I have found no record of John RAPP after that date. I don't know where he died or when. Surely he didn't live with Magdalena again??? Have checked all neighboring counties, and know he didn't return to Clermont Co. to live with his son. Can anyone find him. He was born c 1783, and died sometime after 1855.
