Ruby Driskell reported Jos. died 32 Sep.1894. Dan'l Braucht journal says that Oren's moved to Putnam Co., OH in 1840 -- and that Rebecca (which one-- probably not his mother by first name?) lived at George Fedderhoff's in Armstrong Valley. Journal also says that he worked for Jos. Oren at OH in 1841 (Dan'l was also a blacksmith).

Tolan records say that Jos. Oren was half Irish and half Scotch (Mrs.J Reddin interview told me that Jos.Oren's father was born in Ireland, moved to Scotland, then to USA and that Jos. Oren moved to Hancock Co.,OH between Jul 1839 and Nov.1840.  She added that there is much Oren name in history of Findlay, OH.
