I'm sorry that none of your names fit into my records. My ancestor, Lewis D. Ambrose, moved from Hillsboro to Circleville with his family then to Ill. in 1855, but his brother, William 1805-1886 lived his life in Hillsboro I believe his brother, George 1803-1880 did also. Your ancestors could be descendents of theirs. I don't have record of the children. Marie Pheiffer

Hi, James:

I am also a descendant of William Henry AMBROSE, thru William Hanby, Jr.

I compared the tree you posted with my file and found a couple of things you might want to check. Nancy LIEB was the wife of Lewis Duckwall AMBROSE, not Mathias. I have their children.

Mathias (1810-1833) is a quandry. Several other researchers and the IGI show a DOD for him of 9 Nov 1833 in Logan Co, Illinois. Yet I found a record of a marriage, Mathias to Sarah PERKINS, that appears to be this Mathias, as the son of William Hanby was a minister who moved to Pickaway County, Ohio, and Mathias and Sarah had a son, William Eliphaz, born in 1844 in Pickaway County.

I did not have the marriages for your Frederick AMBROSE. Where did you find his DOB and DOD?

The date for Frederick coming to Ohio MAY be a little early, although it is certainly possible. His brother, William Hanby, Sr, made the move in 1815, and built the Ambrose Chapel in Hillsboro, Ohio. I had thought William chose Ohio because of the trip he made with Bishop Newcomer in 1812 through Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Kentucky. But perhaps he already had family here?!?

I am also curious about the dates you have for George, the son of Mathias AMBROSE and Rosanna CLOVER. I had been given dates of 1794-1844, but they didn't seem to fit. What is your source for 1813-1892 and his marriage to Anna HESS in 1848.

I believe Jacob AMBROSE on the 1850 census in Champaign County is William Henry's son. You will note he is listed with son, Jacob, and both ages fit.

I have children for some of the marriages that you do not show. However, I can't add anything much to what you have for Jacob, Soloman and Frederick. Solomon died in Chillicothe. Have never run across a Cornelius AMBROSE. Was he in Hillsboro? The Highland/Brown/Champaign County AMBROSES appear to be descendants of William Hanby and Jacob. Catherine AMBROSE and Henry CLOVER moved to Chillicothe, and then Columbus.

Would be glad to send you a tree if you like.
