Greetings, First off make sure you tell your parents you are exchanging messages with an adult and make sure they read all of the messages you send or receive.

I do not think we are related and I do not think that my Isaac is your Hugh Finney's brother. I have been researching Finney families, mostly those from Ohio, for over 15 years and I had never heard of a Hugh Finney. I did do some checking for you in my records.

There was a John Finney who married a Mary Wise. John's real name was actually Johnson A. Finney and he was born on April 25 1852. My Isaac was already about 22 years old when John was born so there is no way that my Isaac could be in your Hugh Finney's brother. He may have had a brother named Isaac but it wasnt from my line of Finneys.

My records show that Johnson A. Finney was born in Scioto County Ohio (my Finney's were in Coshocton and Tuscarawas counties). Johnson Finney married a lady named Mary Ann Wise. You can find Johnson Finney in the 1870 Census in Ohio with his paretns and siblings. Johnson Finney's parents were Junious (possibly mispelled and should be Julious) and Maria Finney. Johnson Finney's siblings were Buela, Annis, and Amanda. Junious is showing to be age 63 in 1870 meaning he would have been born about 1807. This Finney family is living in Bloom Township, Scioto County Ohio in 1870.

In 1880 Johnson Finney and his wife Mary Wise have moved and are living in Wellston, Jackson County, Ohio. There is a daughter named Laura M. Finney age 3 and Allen H. Finney age 1.

I have provided you with a lot of information on your line of Finney's. Please share this information with your parents. Thank you.
