Family/Spouse: Christian RISSER. Christian (son of Abraham RISSER) was born in 1694 in Switzerland; died about 1754 in Le Hang, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Barbara married Johannes MAST, Sr. in 1730 in Europe. Johannes (son of Hahns\John MAST and Anna MISHLER) was born on 2 Sep 1698; was christened on 2 Sep 1698 in Baiersbronn, W; died in 1750 in Penn Twp, Berks County, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"John Mast, Sr. was born in Switzerland in 1740 and died in Randolph Co., N.C. in 1800. Orphaned John, brother, Jacob Mast, and 4 sisters immigrated to the Schuykill River in Pennsylvania under the care of their uncle, Johannes Mast" on the ship Brotherhood, John Thompson, Captain which arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam on Nov. 3, 1750." This account from a 2nd hand history, although the best info we have, has not yet been supported by first hand records. Supposedly the only copy of the passengers from this ship's arrival included 119 persons out of the 300 who were on board, and no Masts are on it to verify the data above.

According to Professor Daniel Mast in an August 30, 1978 letter to the editor on the Englewood Independent newspaper, they were Amish Menonites from the Palitinate in the 1700's. They and the Amish Mennonites in the ship they came on settled around Heidelberg and Bern, Pennsylvania. Due to Indian uprisings, around 1760 they moved into the Conestoga Valley and purchased land in Berks and Chester Co., Pennsylvania. It is here that his brother Jacob Mast became a Bishop of the Mennonite Church.

Although Jacob is usually listed as the older brother, there is no first hand evidence of this. Brother John married and had several children before Jacob began having children and could easily be the older brother.

Before 1763 and probably around 1760, John Mast, Sr. drifted on foot from what is now Elverson located west of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in what appears to be the border of Chester Co., PA and Bucks Co. It was the home of his brother Jacob. He traveled through Virginia to what is now Randolph Co., North Carolina. (C-205) In one account, he moved south because he and his brother had a falling out. In one published account, he and his family of wife and about 4 children migrated with the Beiler and Fisher families leaving Malvern, Chester Co., PA to go to Watuaga Co., NC and then to Rowan County, North Carolina. Malvern was not settled by Amish Mennonites (as opposed to just the Mennonites with whom they rarely associated) until 1768, so it is somewhat unlikely that this account is accurate due to the fact that John and several Fouts and Hoover families bought land on Feb. 17, 1763 in Rowan Co., North Carolina. It became part of Guilford County, NC when Guilford Co. was formed and is currently a part of Randolph County, North Carolina.

John's sister, Magdalena moved to what became Randolph Co., North Carolina also in one account. However, I suspect this is not true, as in 1810 she appears to move to Holmes Co., Ohio with her son John from Somerset Co., Pennsylvania. Their other three sisters are supposed to have died unmarried back in Berks Co., PA being buried near their brother, Jacob. C-270g, E)

John Mast, Sr. is often listed as a Revolutionary War soldier. This is based on the fact that John Mast Sr. with his son John Mast, Jr. supposedly appear in the records of the Siege of Charleston in the 1797 Yearbook of the City of Charleston, SC on pg. 405. However, when the original records are checked the names are definitely for a family of Mash's, not Masts. I've included a copy of the orginal book sent by Jordan Sutton, jordan65@peoplepc.com. Note the 8th and 9th name down on the right for Jhn Mash Senr and John Mash and compare this to other names ending in h or t on the page. It definitely belongs to a Mash family also in South Carolina at the time and not our John Masts. It makes sense that John Mast Sr. and relatives were not a part of the Revolutionary War because John Mast, along with Andrew Fouts, Jacob Fouts, Frederick Waymire and Andrew Hoover, are shown on the 1779 Randolph Co, NC tax lists of William Cole as having refused to take the Oath of Allegiance because they were pacifists. The other families listed in this group were Quakers suggesting that Jacob Mast had similar feelings. (C-1058, 2251e, E)

John Mast Sr. and Barbara had 12 children, ten of whom came to Ohio, seven daughters and son's David, John and Jacob, in 1801. They settled in Miami and Montgomery counties. Many of their children attended Quaker meetings and married Quaker spouses although they were never official members of the Quaker church. This info. is from Brien's Vol. I of Quaker Genealogies, a section entitled: The Mast Family. (C-205) Items in ( ) are added from other sources: HISTORY OF WATAUGA CO., NC, p.330. (C-270b) and info. from Mrs. McIntosh (C-270g) (*NOTE: The dates on this family group sheet should be taken as opinion only. They are often contradicted between sources, especially birth dates. Birth order of John and Barbara Mast's children has not been the same in any two records I've seen.)

John married Barbara Catherine HARMON in 1753 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Barbara (daughter of Johan George Adam HARMON \ HERMAN and MARY MARGARET WILEY) was born before 1740 in Frederick, Frederick, Maryland, United States; died in 1780 in , Randolph, NC, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Anna married John YODER in 1753. John was born in 1732; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It should be noted that several of her childrens names are identical to the Jacob Mast, b. about 1718 who entered the country in 1737 whose branch we don't yet know how it's related. These common names are John, Christian, Anna, Jacob, Joseph and Veronica "Franny". Names of her children that fit her brothers and sisters include: John, Barbara, Anna and Jacob. Her children are listed in the following order on Janice Devan's homepage: John, Christian, Babrara, Magdalena, Anna, Jacob, Henry, Mary, Joseph, Andrew, David, Veronica, Elizabeth and Michael. Holmes County was first settled by Amish in 1810. Four familes that included Magdelena's grandson, John Troyer and his wife Magdelena, were amongst them. Sometime after Magdelena Mast Troyer's husband died she moved with some of her sons to Holmes County, Ohio also. It was not actually a county until 1830. Until then, it was parts of Coshocton, Tuscarawas and Wayne counties. (C-2455)

Family/Spouse: Michael TROYER. Michael was born in 1730; died in 1807 in , Somerset, PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to the "A Brief History of Bishop Jacob Mast and Other Mast Pioneers" by C.Z. Mast published in 1911, "The following record of their emigration is in evidence, Harrisburg, Penna, March 13, 1911"To whom it may concern I hereby certify that the above is a true tracing of the above names as written on the original Immigration List ship, Brotherhood, Captain, John Thomason. Date, Nov 3, 1750. Sailed from Rotterdam and last from Cowes, and arrived at Philadelphia. Now on file in Division of Public Records, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.(signed) Luther R KelkerCustodian of the Public Records of the Pennsylvania State Library. (The seal of the Department of the State Public Records is affixed to the document)

The party had sailed from Rotterdam in the ship Brotherhood, John Thompson, Captain, landing in Philadelphia, PA, on Nov 3, 1750." They selected their home near the site of the Blue Mountains, northwest of Philadelphia near present day Reading, Pennsylvania. Their farm was near the Schuylkill River between Irish Creek and Northkill. All other early Amish Mennonites formed their first settlement in America at this place, which was known for nearly a century as the "Northkill congregation." "The early members had located in Heidelberg, Lower Heidelbeg, North Heidleberg, PA, Bern, Upper Bern, Center, Upper Tulpehocken and Jefferson townships, Berks Co, Pennsylvania The majority lived near where the Masts originally established their farm." Because of the French and Indian Wars, "from 1754 to 1764 and even at a later period the settlement was exposed and almost exterminated by the torch, hatchet and scalping knife of the savages, and their midnight assault and slaughter. Hundreds fell victims to the relentlessly cruel savages, along the Blue Mountains south and north of it, and along the Susquehenna."

Because of the Indian danger, the Masts and other Amish Mennonite (Anabaptist) settlers removed to near present day Morgantown in Berks Co., PA, in the Conestoga Valley. According to an article in the "Independent" in the 1970's, he settled in what is now Elverston, Pennsylvania. (C-2537) "A warrant was granted to Bishop Jacob Mast and a certain John Holly (relative of his wife?), Nov 19, 1764, and the latter on Apr 13, 1769 lawfully discharged all the rights and half part of land to the former. The tract contained 170 acres and an allowance of six per cent for roads which was situated partly in the counties of Berks and Chester. It was purchased from Samuel Martin of Tredyfrin township, Chester Co, PA, for L325. On this tract of land Bishop Jacob Mast erected a comfortable log farm house, close to a lusty spring which flows directly from a stratum of limeless sandstone."

He provided public service to the Revolution in Pennsylvania. (C-458, p. 1918) He was the 2nd Amish Mennonite Bishop in America. In 1786, he was serving Berks, Chester and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania (C-873, 2251e) "Masts, A Brief History" states that he lived in Lancaster County, PA after Berks Co. His death and burial are listed in various places: Pine Grove Cemetery, Caernarvon Township, Berks Co., Pennsylvania; Pine Grove Cemetery, Champaine Co., OH; or Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. He and 3 of his unnamed sisters are supposedly buried near each other.

The account in C.Z. Mast's 1911 book states: "In the year 1808 he gave up the wonderfully busy life when in the same year his neighbors carried his body out of his old home and buried it in a quiet spot on the broad acres he had tended and loved. His grave is marked with a carved sandstone bearing inscription near the Northwest corner of the wall of what is known as Pine Grove Cemetery. His wife, Magdalene Holly, died Oct 26, 1820, aged 80 years, and is buried by his side."

There is a Jacob Mast living in Cocalico Twp., Berks Co., PA in 1751 and 1753 according to deed records there. This is a township on the North Border of Berks Co., Pennsylvania. (C-2414)

Bishop married Magdalene HOLLY in 1760 in , Berks, PA, USA. Magdalene was born in 1740; died on 26 Oct 1820 in , Berks, PA, USA; was buried in Pine Grove Cemetery, Berks, PA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

His birth date in some sources is given as 1762 in some sources but as 1754 on his gravestone. Since he is listed as having children starting in 1775, the gravestone could be the accurate date. (C-458, p. 1918, C-671, 1431) In 1798, he, brother - David Hoover, Martin Davenport and Benjamin Iddings went on a land hunting expedition from North Carolina to evaluate Miami Valley in Ohio as a new territory for their families to live in. John Jr. remained in Miami Co. while the others returned to NC to bring their families. He was literally the first settler in what became known as West Branch, Miami Co., Ohio. On Sep. 3, 1802 he bought land in SEction 28, Township 8, Range 4 which is what is now known as Newton Twp. His brothers Jacob and David, and all his seven sisters and their husbands proceeded to move to the Stillwater River Valley on adjoining properties in Miami and Montgomery counties in Ohio on their return trip in 1801. By 1801, John had built a flour mill (grist mill) known as Cedar Branch Mill that stood until a 1955 fire occurred in Miami Co., Ohio. The quality of the flour from his mill was listed as "superfine". He also ran a gunsmith shop. (C-2215c, 2537) John was not a member of the Quaker church, although his wife was. After his wife died in 1813, several of his grandchildren lived with him at his home by his Grist Mill. "He was a little under medium in size, fair skinned and blue eyes, quiet and unobtrusive and loved hunting. He attended religious meetings occasionally but never made an open profession." (Mote, "A Walk in a Country Churchyard.) This John was taxed in Miami Co., Ohio in 1810 and 1816. He was in the deed records for Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1813, 1817, 1824, 1826, 1827,1828, 1830, 1831, and 1832. He is listed in the Census of 1827 for Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio. He had his will probated in Miami Co., Ohio 1832. Henry Hoover, his wife's nephew, was one of his executors. Henry was the gr.gr. uncle of President Hoover. (C-1025, 2172) John's stone is no longer visible in the West Milton Cemetery, but there is at least one picture of it when it was still barely visible taken by a descendant, Lois Mast.

John married Susanna HOOVER about 1775 in , , NC. Susanna (daughter of Andrew HOOVER and Maria Margareta PFAUTZ) was born in 1763 in Mirey Springs, Carroll, MD; died on 1 Nov 1813 in , Miami, OH, USA; was buried in West Branch Quaker Burial Grounds, Union Twp., Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

I have a second account that says she was born in 1774 and her marriage to James Curtis was in 1806. Her death date in one source was Oct. 1807 of childbirth in Miami Co., Ohio I suspect we have a second Nancy Mast married to a Curtis that is being confused with this Nancy. I've also seen her husband listed as John Curtis instead. According to descendants of this Nancy, she was born in 1757 based on an 1850 Montgomery Co., OH census which says that she was 93 years of age. The age could be slightly off at this elderly age, as her birth is calculated at 1762 by other sources with her parents marriage date calculated at 1758 in several sources. She was supposedly 102 years of age at her death. (C-2172)

Nancy married James CURTIS in 1781 in , , NC. James was born in 1755; died in 1795 in , Randolph, NC, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Elizabeth and Leonard Eller had a son named Adam supposedly born in 1780 who died in 1840 according to an Ancestry World Tree file.

Notes:

David was according to some 2nd hand sources born in Lancaster Co, PA and others in Wautuga Co., North Carolina. He moved with his family to NC where he was reared. David Mast is erroneously listed as being a soldier in the Revolutionary War with his father, both having supposedly fought at Charleston. However, when the records of the Siege of Charleston are checked, the name is spelled Mash and does not refer to him. He was known by the name of Captain Mast because he was one of two leaders, the other being David Hoover, who brought 64 families from North Carolina to the Stillwater area of Ohio in 1801/2. He built five cabins in 1802 according to a website by Judith Baker on the internet. (C-2570) One of them was still lived in in 1918 and in 2002 it still existed in Butler Twp., Miami Co., Ohio at 2151 Kershner Road. It's logs were covered by clapboard by 1914.

David is the Capt. Mast listed as living in what is now the Poke Grove, Randolph Twp. area of Montgomery Co., Ohio in 1806. Originally, the 64 families settled on lands on a 4 mile stretch along the Stillwater River. It encompassed lands in what was then Butler Twp., Clay Township and most of them in Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio However, boundary changes in 1825 placed David's land in Randolph Twp., Montgomery Co., Ohio instead. His cabin was the first to be notched in the Stillwater Woods with many others following for the large party of families they brought to Ohio. The beautiful large two story home he built afterwards has been restored by Cinda Lightner Kratzner and is located just outside of the town of Union in Randolph Co., OH on State Route 48. He was taxed in 1804, 1810 and 1816 in Montgomery Co., Ohio. He was in the deed records of West Milton, Miami Co., Ohio in 1836 dealing with Lot 50. (C-1025)

Absalom, one of his son's, apparently used the same title as displayed in a letter quoted below. W.H. Beers in THE HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, BOOK III, (1882) on pages 54-56, give a very interesting account of David Mast's migration to Ohio with his family. The account is quoted from a letter written by son, Capt. Absalom Mast. "On the 10th day of Sept. (1802) ... my father, with four of his sisters and their husbands, bid adieu to old North Carolina, in company with one or two more families. They resided in Randolph County, (NC), of the Hewary River. They were all in low circumstances; had money enough to make their entries, and to buy some provisions during the winter. They halted for winter quarters at what is now called Ridgeville, eight miles north of Lebanon; rented a log cabin of Luther and Calvin Ball . . . Our Carolina tramps, or families, left Ridgeville vicinity (just north of Lebanon, OH) on the 4th day of March, 1802. They proceeded to the Stillwater woods, (arriving on 20 Mar.1802) where they had previously made their selections and on my father's purchase the first house or cabin was raised or notched." An interview with Mary Hoover of the same Montgomery Co., Randolph Twp. area, Ohio adds further interesting detail. "They had to cut a road north, through the wilderness, as they moved on their entries of land, which were purchased in 1798. . . David Mast settled on the northwest quarter of section 3." Nearby neighbors included Daniel Hoover, Daniel Hoover, Jr., and David Hoover. "Indians were numerous then but never molested the settlers of this township, although as settlers arrived and rumors of Indian depredations were being committed, there were block-houses built and the neighbors were collected in them at night for mutual protection against the Indians, but every morning the settlers would disperse to their respective clearings." Capt. Mast has several letters quoted on these pages of Beers book. It is most interesting to look up. Items in ( ) are quoted from other sources: Mrs. McIntosh and "Beside the Stillwater" articles published in "The Independent". (C-270g)

Another accounting of this same story comes from his grandson, Wesley J. Mast, in a letter he wrote at age 85 on Sep. 3, 1910 to Mr. C. Z. Mast. "David Mast, his two brothers, John and Jacob, seven sisters and their husbands came here in the early part of March 1802. They had left their homes in North Carolina in 1801 and had spent the winter in Ridgeville, Ohio north of Lebanon, Ohio. The sisters were Nancy, Elizabeth, Hannah, Mary Mollie, Catherine, Susannah. Their husbands were James Curtis who married Nancy, Daniel Hoover who married Hannah. John Waggoner who married Mollie. Henry Fouts who married Susannah. Leonard Eller who married Elizabeth and David Hoover who married Mary. Andrew Sheets who married Catherine." He lived in Montgomery Co., OH in the 1804 and 1810 tax lists. He was the grantor of land in West Wilton, Miami Co., OH in 1836, the year he died.

David married Nancy WORRELL in 1778 in Hillsborough D, Watauga, NC, USA. Nancy was born in Mar 1762 in , Randolph, NC, USA; died in 1816; was buried in West Branch Quaker Burial Grounds, Union Twp., Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Joseph was the second of twelve children born to John. (C-797) The listing of his death date in one source the same day he was married is in error as he is listed in his brother's will in 1809. His marriage date was May 30, 1783. He purchased 100 acres of land on the Uwharrie River in Randolph Co., NC on Jan 5, 1787 that was issued to him on May 18, 1789. (C-116, 671, 2172) He was the only Mast of this generation in this branch of the family to remain in North Carolina after the great move to Ohio by his siblings. He is the father of a Reuben Mast. Reuben and his sons moved to Nacogdoches,Texas where they were they multiplied their wealth in land and banking. They are the ancestors of the highly respected current day powerhouse Mast family. (C-1459) Reuben had a son William Penn Mast who continued on from Texas north to Coquille, Oregon in the late 1800's with about 75 family members. There is a large Mast presence in Oregon from this branch. (C-741) He likely had offspring that started a general store in 1883 that has become a small historical chain of general stores in North Carolina. The first one built was in Valle Crucis and is on the National Register of Historic Places. C:DOC His original log cabin is still standing. The large family home built by his descendants is now a gorgeous bed and breakfast in Valle Crucis (2006) and it's history is provided below at http://www.mastfarminn.com/aboutus/history/index.html."The Mast farm dates from the late 1700s, when Joseph Mast traveled to the mountains from Randolph County, North Carolina, where he was born in 1764. His father John had settled there after emigrating from Switzerland via Pennsylvania, where his brother remained. Joseph is said to have traded his rifle, his dog, and a pair of leggings for 1000 acres of fertile Watauga River Valley land. The first house, a two-room log cabin, was built around 1810 and remains today as the oldest inhabitable log cabin in Watauga County.The farm and family prospered through the 19th Century, and Finley and Josephine Mast built the first part of the farmhouse in the 1880s. Around the turn of the century, the Masts began offering meals and rooms to tourists, enlarging the house to accommodate the growing number of guests. By 1915, the inn had 13 bedrooms and one bath. It was called "the Mast Farm" or simply "Aunt Josie's and Uncle Finley's."Aunt Josie Mast, besides running the house and managing the vegetable garden and dairy, was a master weaver. She turned the original log cabin into a loom house and became celebrated for her coverlets, rugs, and handbags. Some of her coverlets are in the Smithsonian today.Uncle Finley and Aunt Josie's two sons did not continue the inn after their parents' deaths in the 1930s. Joe, the younger, who was blind, lived in the house until 1964, when ill health forced him to move away.After Joe Mast died, the house stood empty or was briefly rented until 1984, when Francis and Sibyl Pressly bought the property and restored it. Once again, The Mast Farm Inn became a destination for visitors to the Blue Ridge Mountains.In June 1996, the Inn changed ownership when Wanda Hinshaw and Lyle Schoenfeldt, with daughter, Sarah, moved back to Wanda's home state from Texas. Wanda's sister, Kay Philipp, with her family had made Watauga County home for many years. Today, Kay and Wanda are sister Innkeepers, just as in the old days, when Josie's sister, Leona, had worked with her at the Inn. Interestingly, the present innkeepers are natives of the same Randolph County where Joseph Mast's family lived in the 1700s.The Mast Farm was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, as "one of the most complete and best preserved groups of nineteenth century farm buildings in western North Carolina." Thanks to inspired restorations and good care, The Mast Farm Inn welcomes visitors today as it did a hundred years ago, providing delicious meals and comfortable lodging in a beautiful setting."

Joseph married Eva BOWERS on 30 May 1783 in , Randolph, NC, USA. Eva (daughter of George BOWERS and Margaret UNKNOWN) was born in Dec 1758 in , , SC, USA; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

There were two Mary Masts in this family. The second was named Mary Magdelena and called Mollie. (C-1058)

Mary married David HOOVER in 1790 in , Randolph, Nc?. David (son of Andrew HOOVER and Maria Margareta PFAUTZ) was born in 1766 in Mirey Springs, Carroll, MD; died on 1 Jul 1841 in Montgomery, Hamilton, Ohio, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He purchased the west one half of Section 14 in Township 5, Range 5 of Randolph Township, Montgomery Co., Ohio (C-2537) Jacob was taxed for his property in Randolph Twp. in 1809. (C-1025) He also apparently had land that he owned in Ashe Co., NC at the time of his death.

In his will, it was stated that his nephew, David Mast, of the state of North Carolina, should sell Jacob's property of said county of Ashe, dated Oct. 4, 1809. (C-422h) Though children weren't listed in his administration, it appears that his two oldest daughters, heirs of Jacob Mast, Sarah age 12, and Rebecca Mast, age 10 asked their Uncle Leonard Eller to be their guardian in an 1815 Montgomery Co, OH court record. His youngest 2 daughters were Nancy (b. 1809) and Sussanna (b. 1807) (C-2172, 2320, 2537)

This Jacob seems to be confused with another one, supposedly from the same ancestry according to Beers, History of Champain Co., OH, c. 1881 (p. 819) "John Mast, retired farmer; .P.O. Urbana, born in Pennsylvania Oct. 29, 1793; is a son of Jacob and Barbara (Kenaga) Mast, natives of Pennsylvania. The maternal grandfather was a native of Switzerland, coming to America when about ten years of age. He lived and died in Pennsylvania. Jacob and Barbara also lived and died in Pennsylvania, and were the parents of seven children; three now survive -- John, Isaac and Leah. These two cannot be the same Jacob who is the son of John Mast --- but possibly could be the son of his brother Jacob Mast who would fit a similar description. (E)

Susannah and her husband attended Friend's Meetings and are buried in West Branch Cemetery, a friends burial ground. There still seems to be some question though as to whether or not they were formally accepted into the Quaker Church. (C-2172)

Susanna married Henry FOUTS in 1797. Henry died on 26 Dec 1822 in , Miami, OH, USA; was buried after 26 Dec 1822 in West Branch Quaker Burial Grounds, Union Twp., Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

When his family moved to Ohio, he and his brother Joseph remained in North Carolina. Eventually, Stephen too moved, but to Baltimore, MD instead. He owned land in what became Baltimore, Baltimore Co., Maryland and appears to have been a bachelor. He visited his siblings in Miami and Montgomery Co., Ohio in 1833, but was never heard from again. In 1895 a newspaper published an account of his land in an attempt to find his heirs. He had apparently leased it out. I have heard that he died in Baltimore, MD. If such is the case, it is likely that the newspaper account was also from that same city. (C-704, 2179d)

Notes:

Christian and Susanna had all of their children in Pennsylvania before moving to Holmes Co., Ohio in 1829. Some of their children remained behind. Some of them moved to Ohio, one onto Indiana and two to Iowa. He and his wife originally lived in Hardy Twp., Holmes Co., Oh according to the 1830 census of the newly formed Holmes Co. There was also a Jacob Mast in Hardy Twp. in 1830 on the same census page as him whom I suspect was his son. He and his wife are buried on their family plot on their farm in Berlin Twp., Holmes Co., Ohio.
