FULLER, MILLARD, MOORE, SWEET posted by Marilyn Weiner on Sunday, November 1, 1998
Am trying to trace my g-g-g-grandparents, Barzillai MILLARD and Nancy [MOORE] MILLARD who moved to Kirtland, Geauga County, OH, in 1810-11. They owned land there and had 14 children. In about 1832, they moved to Fullertown, Geauga County, OH, but by 1840 they had left there and I haven't been able to find any record of them since. Their children, born between 1812 and 1835, were Jesse (my g-g-grandfather), John B., Cyrus, Erwin (Irving) W., Philena (who may have married a man named FULLER), Irena (who may have married a man named SWEET), Almeron, Rebecca, Edwin, Alvin (who died in a fire), Arminda, Maranda, and Leonard. I would appreciate information that would help me to trace any of them after 1834-35.
