This site is focused broadly on all descendants of John Denboe, an indentured servant who came to the Crown Colony of Maryland in about the year 1664. Also, it maintains a special emphasis on the descendants of John Denbow (1797-1862) and his brother Bazeleel (1795-1857), early pioneers in the hills of Southeastern Ohio, as well as the descendants of Jón Jónsson (1841-1934) of Dalasýsla, Iceland, who was an Icelandic immigrant to Canada and now has progeny throughout North America.

| 303 | Bob recalls visiting his grandparents, Elias and Mary Sharp, on their Vinton County farm near Lake Hope when he was a boy. He would leave Bucyrus, Ohio, on the train. The railroad tracks ran right through his grandparents farm, so he said instead of riding to the station, when the train got to their farm it would slow down, they would throw his bag off the train and then lower him to the ground and he would pick up his bag and run across the fields to his grandparents' house. He said he slept up stairs in a large loft-like room in a bed with a feather tick. He said his grandmother, Mary Bobo Sharp, smoked a pipe. We have a picture of her with it. The Sharp's had an outhouse with an apple tree next to it. Bob said when you were sitting in there, occasionally, an apple would drop and hit the tin roof and scare you to death. The Sharp's had an orchard and grew corn. They also dug their own coal from a mine just across the road from their house. They had a pony named Bill and a horse named Jim. We have pictures of them from a July 1919 visit to the farm. | Sharp, Robert Henderson (I3871)

Cooper, wife of John Cooper, Died May 22, 1914,aged 63 years, 7 months, and 23 das. Maggie's first husband, FrancisM. Sherer, 'ran off' with Maggie's youngest sister, Belle. Theysupposedly went to California to live. This, of course, was a bigfamily scandal. F.M. Sherer and Belle were never to be mentionedagain. It is not clear whether Maggie and Francis were actuallydivorced or whether he and Belle were ever actually married. Francisdied in Dec. 1889 and Maggie married John Cooper in September 1901.This is a subject for further research.

Since the1880 US Census for Crawford County, Ohio indicates Maggie was born inPa. and her birthdate is 1850, look for James Henderson in Pa. inthe1850 US Census. Wood Co. Atlas indicates Henderson settled in WoodCounty, Ohio in 1874. Perhaps they were in PA until then. AfterMaggie's marriage to John Cooper, she became known as Grandma Cooper,the source of Grandma Cooper's itch. Grandma Cooper, her daughter,Maude Elsie Sherer Sharp, her grandson, Robert Henderson Sharp, hergreat grandson, Robert Tadsen Sharp, and her great great grandson,Robert Reid Sharp all have it! They scratch one shoulder blade sooften that they wear the shirt material thin in that spot. Accordingto notes in the Sharp Family Bible, Maggie Jane Henderson died ofcancer. Robert Henderson Sharp said she was operated on in Toledo,Ohio. Burial in Oakwood Cemetery Bucyrus, Ohio Location: Sec/Lot:M/R5-28. U.S. Census 1910 Crawford County, Ohio Bucyrus, lists Johnand Maggie Cooper as having been married 8 years. John Cooper wasborn in Ohio as were his mother and father. John Cooper is listed asthe manager of a hardware store. W. D. Henderson, brother-in-law, isalso living with them. He and his parents were born in Pa. He iswidowed and also the manager of a hardware store. Gold watch and blackcap belonging to Maggie Jane Henderson Sherer Cooper are in thepossession of Robert and Susan Sharp. Possibly also a walnut washstandwith chocolate marble top. Check with Bob. A tintype of Maggie with asmall boy and the same image of Maggie in a gold oval frame are in theposession of her great grandson, Robert T. Sharp. | Henderson, Margaret Jane (I2272)

| 335 | By the time of diagnosis, his lung cancer had spread to the brain. He received a few weeks of chemotherapy and died as a result of septicemia (blood infection), secondary to the treatment itself. That is, his immune system did not recover from the effects of the chemotherapy, which allowed the infection to run wild [There was some disagreement among his doctors whether the brain or the lung cancer was primary.] | Denbow, Carl Herbert (I1049)

Viv said thatGrandpa Frantz had some animals ( a cow and some chickens) but he wasnot a farmer. Before they moved to the Boarding House, Caroline Frantzused to sell milk. Viv remembers people coming to their house withtheir containers to buy milk. She thinks that maybe in France Henrymight have been a miner. In Rossiter at some point he was a nightwatchman. Both the Frantzs and the Doneys spoke German. But they werevery different. The Doneys were Pennsylvania Dutch and their Germanhad a very sing song quality. Viv could understand German because itwas always spoken in her home. The 1910 Census above shows a boarderin the Frantz household, Tommy Robertson. When the Doney's bought theBoarding House and the Frantzs moved there with them, so did Tommy.Viv remembers that he used to pay her a nickel to sing 'Its a Long Wayto Tipperary ' to him. According to Vivian Doney Reid her GrandfatherFrantz was a great guy who made all the holidays fun. On Easter heused to take them into the barn where the Easter bunny had constructedlittle nests containing treats and eggs. He usually spied the EasterBunny hopping away and as the children looked they could see him too.On Christmas Eve Vivian and her family went to church but the Frantzsstayed at home. After church, when the children came home, theChristmas tree was decorated and Santa had come. After the presentswere opened 'Santa' in the person of Uncle Jake Frantz usually stoppedby for a visit. Vivian remembers being scared of Santa. | Frantz, Henry (I1873)

| 345 | Card in the possession of Gretchen Valentine in loving remembrance ofLawrence Lorenzen, Died September 3, 1905, Age 50 years. According toa newspaper article titled, Hard Work Responsible for a Young Mindand Body, Ninety Year Old Resident Declares, about Catherine Kruse'Tena' Lorenzen, her husband, Lawrence, was a fisherman and later asaloon keeper in Port Clinton. Deed: Port Clinton Cemetery, Clerk ofthe Village of Port Clinton, Ohio to Lawrence Lorenzen, Lot No. 119,Sub-Div. C, for the sum of $21.00 Recorded April 21, 1903, on Page 141of the records of said Cemetery. Wm. Cleaver, Clerk Copy given to meby Kathryn Tadsen Sharp. According to the recollections of KathrynTadsen Sharp, Uncle Epke Lorenzen (1851-1936) and Aunt 'Rickey'Friederike (1862-1948) were related to the Krietzfelts-- they arementioned in the letter of Emma Matthiessen to Magnus Tadsen (seenotes for Magnus Tadsen). Aunt Rickey was also a witness on NickTadsen's Registration of Birth. I am still not sure of theserelationships. Ipke Lorenzen married Reika Selmer, Ottawa County,Ohio, 27 October 1881 (my notes). I ordered a death certificate forEpke Lorenzen. I think he may be Lawrence's brother. His deathcertificate states that he was born in Horsbull, Germany. It says hisfather's name was Fedder Johansen born in Germany and the maiden nameof his mother was Eoegel Johansen, born in Germany. How can this be ifhis last name was Lorenzen? The informant was Mrs. Andrew Lausten(Freida), Epke's daughter. The death certificate of Lawrence's mother,Engel Christina Lorenzen states that her parents' name was Johansen.This must be further investigated. According to Kathryn Tadsen Sharp,Grandpa Lorenzen was said to have been a 'sharp dresser'. He alwayswore a starched shirt and had his initials monogrammed on the cuff. Heowned the Lorenzen Saloon on Second Street in downtown Port Clintonand his family lived above the saloon. It is said that he alwayswanted to get a piano, but Tena, his wife, always squelched the ideasaying if there was ever a fire they would never get it out becausethey lived on the second floor. According to Kathryn Tadesen Sharp,Grandpa Lorenzen always let people 'run up a tab' in his saloon.Grandma always said that if everyone who owed him money had paid him,they would be rich. According to Kathryn Tadsen Sharp there was afamily story about Grandpa Lorenzen being gored to death by a bull.She thinks maybe this could have been Grandpa Lorenzen's father, butshe doesn't know. Marriage Date from microfiche at Fort Wayne,Indiana. Note time between marriage and birth of first child. Nodeath certificate for Lawrence is recorded in Ottawa County, Ohio.Perhaps he died in another county. Notes of Gretchen Rader Valentinedated 3/14/95 state that Geshe Katrina Kruse married John LawrenceLorensen on Feb. 17, 188?. Should I look for Lorenz under the nameJohn?
