Questions: Re husbands of Hannah YOUNG: Did - SOWERS have other 
children?  Did Peter ENGLE have other children? Did Isaac ROBBINS 
have children with 1st wife Jane?  Did William ARMACOST have children 
with 1st wife Elizabeth? If so, they would be step-siblings to our 
ancestor Silas Peter ENGLE; seeking that information.
         
Questions: Re relatives of SOWERS, ENGLE, YOUNG: There are listings 
in 1850 Darke Co OH census for James H. ENGLE and 2 different Henry 
ENGLE - who are they related to, and might they be relatives of Peter 
ENGLE? There are SOWERS listings in the Miami Valley Gen Index - 
might any of them be related to the SOWERS that Hannah YOUNG married? 
There are listings in 1850 Darke Co census in Neave Twp for Isaac 
YOUNG and Henry YOUNG, both b. PA - are they related to John YOUNG & 
Rebecca BRITTON? Are any of the other YOUNG families shown in Darke 
Co census related to John & Rebecca?
