Notes for LUCINDA STEVENSON:

I came across your family tree on the internet last night and was thrilled to

find the information about the Stevensons from Maryland, who removed to

Fairfield County, Ohio, in the very early 1800's and were among the first

settlers there, namely, Edward, Daniel, Jesse, and Mordecai Stevenson. At

least, those are the ones of whom I am aware.

Notes for WILLIAM EDWARD RARICK:

William Edward Rarick was the first-born child of Katherine Grier Rarick and

her husband, Thomas Benton Rarick. William was born in or near Lancaster on

October 8, 1877; he died at Columbus, Ohio, on December 5, 1944. He was a

plasterer, and an excellent one at that. He married Cecil Emma Leohner, and

they lived at Bucyrus, Ohio, beside his parents on South Walnut Street before

he moved his family to Columbus. He and his wife were the parents of the

following children:

Nellie (married Howard Snyder); Thelma; Otto Lester; and Charlotte Marcella.

I have talked with Charlotte, who lives in Georgia and has the family Bible.

She married but never had any children. Otto had one adopted son, William L.

Rarick.

Don't know about Thelma. Nellie had two daughters, Iris and Patricia Snyder.

Iris, as I understand it, has done some genealogy, and Patricia is interested,

but I still have not contacted them. Charlotte said that she would photocopy

the family Bible for me and send the copies to me, but so far I haven't

received anything. I guess I'll have to call her again. Need to call Iris,

too, and get acquainted with her. Perhaps she has some information that would

be useful to us, especially since her mother (Nellie) would be the oldest

grandchild in Katie's line and the first-born child (Nellie) of the first-born

child (William E. Rarick)--if you follow me.
