Notes:
1. Several dates believed to be incorrect has the actual date in brackets [].
2. 3-454 means the information comes from The History of Indiana County, Pennsylvania, pp. 454-455; J. A. Caldwell, Newark, Ohio, 1880.
3. Olyn's grandmother, Angeline, would not have been born if they moved in 1837 as her birth year is believed to be 1838. It is likely that the family moved to Indicana County sometime after Angeline was born and 1851 as Jeremiah Lomison is identified as a property owner on the 1851 map shown above.
