With a bit of photoshopping

Nathaniel Sanford Straughan married Mary “Polly” Brewer, a daughter of Daniel A. Brewer Sr. and Nancy Smith. This Straughan family is not down our direct line, instead Mary Brewer is a sibling of our Daniel Levi Brewer.Nat

John Houk has supplied a couple of valuable photos of Daniel A. Smith with relations which I will be putting up in other posts.

General Notes: Husband –
=============================================

John HOUK submits the following on his ancestors, Nathaniel S. STRAUGHN and
Mary Polly BREWER.

Daniel Brewer Genealogy Notes of Edwin Wesley Dunlavy, (6/25/1874-3/5/1953)
Part of one hundred pages of mostly hand written notes found in his residence
when he died. Found by Howard Jacob Houk, his nephew and executor or his
estate. Given to John Howard Houk, son of Howard Jacob Houk, by Howard’s wife,
Bernice Wuethrich Houk in June 2001.

“Page numbers are from a numbering system that John Houk devised to organize
these notes

“p. 46
“Hawrick Cemetery – near Clinton Falls
Nathaniel S. Straughan –
B Ap 12 -1810
D Oct 28 – 1898”
“(Nathaniel Sanford-this crossed out) Nancy S Straughan
D. Mar 25, 1883
B – Sept 1808”

(I think this is an error and actually refers to Mary Brewer – John Houk)
