Hello.
I'm a little confused. It shows a John Cedars born Sept. 1 1817 in NJ and another Sept 1, 1920 in Maryland.
My dad's name is John Cedars age 62 still living. My grandpa's name was John Cedars (John Cedras) and so was my great grandfathers name. My grandpa was born in Canada. They said that him and a sister were put in an orphange when they where very young. Grand father was born I think around 1889.

I am a relative of the Cedars/Mosier you are looking for. There are record census for 1850 John Siders, 1860 John Ceders, 1870,1880, 1900 under John Cedars. John was born Nov 1, 1820, died 1909. Born in trenton NJ.Died in Waynetown, Montgomery Co, Indiana. He was a farmer. Married Mary Polly Mosier Feb 14, 1838 in Indiana. She was born in Maryland 10/13/1820. Died 10/23/1904 in Montgomer Co, Indiana. John's mother and father were born in NJ.
I am currently trying to find out more about them.

Im related thru John's son, George Washington Cedars, then his son, Burton 'Burt'Cedars who lived in Kokomo, and his son Robert E.V. Cedars, my father.

The William Mosier, married to Nancy may be Mary Polly Mosier's brother. I found the children of John and Mary to be:
Mary Jane b 1839
George Washington B 1850-51
Thomas J born 1841
Sarah born 1845
Willian N. born 1848

but there is a William Mosier listed in 1850 censes as living in Waynetown, Montgomery Co Ind. from Maryland and was a farmer. he was born 1816, so this would probably be Mary Polly's brother.

Hope this helps you a bit. Let me know if you find out more on their history, or any stories connected with them.

I'll keep an eye out for information on this family. I sounds like if he was born in Indiana, he would have to be part of tis family. This surname is not very common. Please keep my email address: barb@thomas.name and let's keep in touch.

I am looking for a CEDARS that married a Martha COLLINS about 1878. In Aug 1879 she had a son in Neosho Co KS. Then in Jan 1880 she died of pneumonia. The Mortality Schedule for 1880 says she was a widow when she died. The 1880 census says the baby's father was born in IN. The baby was raised by his maternal grandparents Daniel and Catharine COLLINS. Seems the husband would be from the Montgomery Co IN families of CEDARS. The COLLINS' came to Neosho Co KS from Clark/Edgar Co IL

Russell O Cedars of Howard Co IN killed in South Pacific in WWII

Dave_Dwiggins — 2005-06-27 04:36:25Z

Russell O. Cedars of Howard County Indiana was killed September 11, 1945, in the South Pacific during World War II. He is officially listed as missing or buried at sea. His name appears on the “Tablets of the Missing” at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines. We are seeking information regarding his military and civilian life.

I am a retired Hoosier from Madison County residing in the Philippines with my Filipino wife. We are seeking family and military information about servicemen from your county killed in the South Pacific during World War II. There are 17,206 Americans buried here and thousands more that are missing or buried at sea and are honored on the “Tablets of the Missing”. Please visit our website to see the beautiful memorial located in Manila, Philippines.

My wife and I visited the cemetery as visitors and left with a mission in our heart. We have been taking photographs of the graves of the Indiana servicemen buried here and have been uniting them (at no charge) with their family members in Indiana and across the United States. To receive the photo of your family member, neighbor or friend all you need is a working email address. We do not send them to regular mailing addresses due to the costs. Please help us find the families of the men that might still be living. Our project is only successful because of teamwork and your contributions are noted on our website. If you wish to help us we will be pleased to add your name to our ACKNOWLEDGMENT page on the website. The obituaries usually did not appear till to three months after the death date.

If you are not a genealogist you can help by just picking up the telephone directory and find someone with the same last name and give them a call. It has worked many times for us.
