  • Name Hiram ROOT  [2] 
    • I am not sure which record is correct. I have added both sets of information - I do hope this keeps everyone happy.... or at least at peace.

      ----------------
      Thank you JHicks for the link to his father George Root.
      ------------------------------------
      Family records show he was born in 1802 in New York.
      Also he and his wife Laura and 8 children are listed in census records of Tallmadge, Summitt County, Ohio. That shows him born abt. 1802 in New York.

      Thank you, Vickye Blatherwick findagrave member 47619061 - for the information above.

      The information below comes from Findagrave member J Hicks (#48519247)

      Recently I found a death notice for Hiram Root in the November 19, 1858 issue of the Cleveland Daily Leader. It states "Died, In Franklin Mills, Ohio, Nov. 5th, Mr. Hiram Root, aged 56 years." This confirms a death date of Nov. 5, 1858 that I have found for Hiram at other sources.

      Hiram?s birth date is May 15, 1801. The source is a letter written by his nephew, stating birth and death dates all members of this Root family. He was born at Chazy, Clinton, NY.

      I know that the 1801 birth year means he was 57 at his death. I am inclined to think he was age 57, but reported in the paper as 56.

      Hiram Root is my gr-gr-gr-grandfather
