I have been doing some additional research on the Knob family this week, so I decided to feature them in this week's Census Sunday. William Knob and Mary Watercutter were two of my husband's great-great grandparents on his dad's side of the family. William was the youngest child of Henry and Anna (Pancier) Knob, both German immigrants, and Mary's grandfather, Ferdinand, was also a German immigrant who came over in 1834. (This area of western Ohio was largely settled by German Catholic farmers in the 19th century.) Here are both families as 'next-door' neighbors in the 1880 census, about 17 years before William and Mary get married. They are living in McLean Township in Shelby County. There are maps below for reference.

Glad you have found my page! And I'm always adding and revising data and documents as I find new info, so just realize that nothing is set in stone (unless I have it well-documented!)
