My great great grandmother was Amanda Bash. She was born 23 December 1846, in either Canal Dover, Tuscarawas, Ohio or Girard, Branch, Michigan. In 1869 she married Asa Charles Eastwood in Perrysburg, Ohio. She died 13 June 1903 in Waterville, Lucas, Ohio.


I am trying to determine the identity of Amanda's parents. The 1860 census shows her, age 14, in Middleton, Wood, Ohio in a household with no one else who had Bash as a surname. She was living with Joseph and Sarah Serby, and Joseph and Reuben Hubler. According to her census listing in 1900 (when she lived in Waterville, Lucas, Ohio with her husband and one of her children), Amanda's father was born in Pennsylvania and her mother was born in Ohio.


The 1850 census shows a Bash family, with an Amanda, in Wayne, Tuscarawas, Ohio. I'm trying to figure out whether this is "my" Amanda Bash. The members of the household were as follows:


Michael Bash 43 (born in Pennsylvania circa 1807)
Matilda Bash 22 (presumably 2nd wife?)
David Bash 13
John Bash 10
Amanda Bash 3
Mary L. Bash 2
Joseph Crout 40


Can anyone here prove or disprove that "my" Amanda Bash was the daughter of this Michael Bash? If so, is there any other information you can share with me about this branch of the Bash family?


Thanks in advance,
Beth
