Eds. Mr. Honeyman goes on to say that upon request he can send data for children, Elizabeth Harter, Mary Magdalena Garber and the assumed Anna Mary Mikesell. He says, "I have fully abstracted all Eller data, except deeds, in the Miami CO.,OH courthouse. Leonard Eller of the George Michael line lived there for a short time and Hook did not hit 100% in his data regarding Leonard's family." Mr.Honeyman also listed the following citations: (1) A HARTER JOURNAL, 1982, by Byron H. Harter, 701 SE 6th St.,Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33301 (contains the family records of Christian & Elizabeth Eller Harter. Eldest daughter of emigrant Henry, pp. 23-105. Removed from MD to Preble Co., OH.)

"Enclosed is my family group sheets, which are not all filled out. So far I have gotten to my grandfather. Of course it is my biggest desire to go further in my research. I would like to fill in 'the holes' in the group sheets. I am not sure the group sheets are helpful, I hope so. Another fact (not on the group sheets) is that they were German Baptist Brethern or Members of the Church of the Brethern. If you have any information on my family line, or know someone who does, please let me know. Your publications are great and I am proud to be a small part of the Eller Association."
