Classification: Query
Surnames: Lawhead, Robertson
Looking for more info on the following family, from 1870 OH census:

Mary Lawhead, 49, born in PA
daughter Frances, 24, born in PA
son Charles, 19, born OH
Harry, 15, born OH
Harris, 13, born OH

Mary's husband William and son William J both died in Civil War. They were in Company G of 16th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The elder died July 16, 1864 at New Orleans; the younger August 10, 1864 at New Orleans.

Mary died 1886 and is buried in Wooster, OH cemetery, along with her daughter Ella G., who died Oct. 20, 1866; her son Charles Harvey Lawhead (tombstone dates: 1854-1941); and her daughter Frances (1844-1920). The plot also contains Frances's husband William B. Robertson (1841-1888); two of their children, Jessie B. Robertson (1882-1919) and June Victoria Robertson (1876-1943); and William Robertson Wertz (d. my 4, 1937).

Frances and William's son William Robertson, buried elsewhere, is my great-grandfather.

Looking for location of these Lawheads before 1870, and any other relatives. I have a death notice for Ella G. Lawhead, which indicates she died in 1866 at 18 years of age, and was working in Pittsburgh prior to her death, so the family may have lived there, before moving to Ohio.

Thanks,
