Barbara, Here are the dates and info that I have.
John and Mary were born in Wales. I think, but not positive, (no documented proof yet), John was born 1858 died 1931, Mary born 1869 died 1931.They had lived in Canton, Ohio for a short while.I know they were born in Wales as Richard, their son, told me.He also told me that they had lived in New York for a while and may have married there, I can't remember.I think James Lester was born in Jamestown, New York.
The children of John and Mary:
Rhea, born 1891
Daniel, born 1893, married a Marie
Cora, born 1896
James Lester, born 1898, died 1957 in Loudonville, Ohio
Charles, born July 1, 1902, died Oct. 26, 1956.
John ???? not sure if there was a John.
Charles married a Dorothea, she died in 1968.
James Lester wed Ann Kapp.This is my son's great grandparents.They had three sons, Richard, Ralph and Robert.When the children, were young, the parents divorced and Lester married a Mary.I think her name was Mary Roberts.
The children of James Lester and Mary, I think are:
Rhea, John, Charles, Mary and Sandy.
Rhea is unmarried.
Sandy married a Carl Smith.
Mary married a Fred Paisley.
Charles Thomas married a Carol.
John was umarried and died Sept. 10, 1998.
From John's obit is where I got most of the info on James and Mary's children.I also got some of my info from cemetery books.
I had also spoken one time to Richard Prosser, my son's grandfather, and he told me that his father remarried and moved to Loudonville. I wish not I would have called him and asked him more info.Richard had no contact with his father or half siblings. Richard died March 11, 2001.
I may call Rhea Prosser or one of the other children.I should also call Ralph or Robert before it is too late.It is just that we did not know them since Richard was estrangled from the family and his name was not allowed spoken.So, I have to get my nerve up to call them.I have their phone no's.
Odd, how history repeats itself.Richard had nothing to do with his father, and my ex, Tobie, had nothing to do with his father, Richard.
I have very little on the Prosser family.I really should travel to Columbiana and Ashland counties and do more research.I do know that there is another line of Prosser's in Columbiana county but I have not been able to connect them and do not think they are related.There was another John also and that helps to confuse things.The line I am researching is not very big.
I hope we have a connection.
