Dear Carolyn,
This is just a shot in the dark for me...my name is Pat Niehaus and I have a Ruby Corpe as my great grandmother and she was the wife of my great grandfather Nelson Haldeman.They had three children...Dora (my grandmother), Emma and Elsie. My great grandfather was born in Illinois although his family also came from Ohio.
The 1880 Census from La Salle Co. Illinois shows not only Ruby Corpe but also her mother Mary Corp...and it looks
like she states that she (Mary) was born in Ohio.I didn't even have Mary's name until now...nothing further back than Ruby on this side.Sure would like to hear a bit about the Ohio Corp/Corpe.Do you think that there might be any possible connections?If you don't think that this would line up with your ancestors...can you give me any other hints?
Anxiously awaiting your reply
Pat Niehaus
