Hi Jan... I'm hoping you're still working on the CHILDS clan of Eaton County. I've pretty much established that Osmyn, John, and Alonzo are, indeed, sons of Jonas. Jonas died 16 February 1860 in Eaton County, and his second wife, Martha Patty (Clapp) died in the same month. Jonas' first wife was Phebe Maybee. I have a death record for Alonzo which names his parents as Jonas and Phebe Maybee Phebe died 26 Dec 1830. I have a land record for Jonas, who sold property 9 Aug 1855, to John -- but it wasn't recorded until 27 Feb 1860 -- after Jonas died. Osmyn bought property in Eaton 5 Oct 1838, while Osmyn was living in Sheffield, Ashtabula Co., OH. Osmyn was in Sheffield in 1830. In 1830, Jonas was still back in Monroe Co., NY. We spent most of today in Charlotte, digging in records, and found a fair amount.
