I suspect that Theodore Groom and Benjamin Groom were descendants of Ezekiel Groom who is buried in adjacent Franklin County, OH.Ezekiel Groom's sons included Noah Groom, Thomas Groom, and Job Groom.Isaac Groom listed in the 1850 Pickaway County, OH Census is the ancestor of actor Sam Groom.Isaac Groom married Harriett Forrest 4/23/1845 in Pickaway County, OH and died there after 1850.Harriett Forrest Groom died in Washington, DC after 1900.Their only son Samuel Spencer Groom was born 1847 in Pickaway County, OH and died 1912 in Chicago, IL.He married Cecelia Bish the daughter of Martin Bish born in Alsace.For some reason she is listed without her husband in the 1900 Pickaway County, OH Census.Samuel Spencer and Cecelia Bish Groom were the parents of Samuel F. Groom (3/1/1871-1948 who married Catherine Cote.They were the parents of Francis (Frank) Groom (8/15/1904-4/20/1972) who married Virginia.They were the parents of actor Samuel J. Groom born 6/13/1938 near Columbus, Franklin County, OH.
