Sophronia Dill Byers Chapman

I am a direct descendent of Sophronia through her marriage to Andrew Byers.She is my gg-grandmother on my mother's paternal line. She married Andrew Byers 8 JUL 1823 in Wayne Co., OH. I have her being born in York Co, PA about 1805. The last know residence I have on her is 27 AUG 1850 in Milford, Lagrange Co., IN. I have always assumed Andrew died before the 1850 census. At least now, I know why I couldn't find her after that - it appears from your post that she remarried.
In answer to your question, YES, Andrew & Sophronia also had a daughter, Elizabeth (Lizzie), born 13 JUL 1844 in Ohio, who married Amherst Miller, Jr. on 19 AUG 1865 in Allen Co., IN.Lizzie died 28 JUL 1924 in Springfield Twp., Allen Co., IN and is buried with Amherst and two children, Amherst Braden and Bertha.Other children born to Lizzie and Amherst include: Anson Delbert "Dell", Joseph C. "Joe", Lewis Braden "Brady", Franklin H., Christina, Elizabeth E., and Mary Rachel.
I have had a tough time with Sophronia and Andrew's ancestry thus far, but do have some info on the Dill line.Any help would be greatly appreciated and, of course, I am always happy to share info on my line.
