1.  Letter, dated 19 Jun 1858, from Keziah (GREENLAND) SHANAFELT (click her link for a full transcription) of Clarion Co., PA, to her son, Thomas.  Keziah is a granddaughter of Benjamin & Sarah (SIAS) CORBIN.  The letter is in the possession of  Laurel Shanafelt Powell of Colorado, and Lorinda Clendenon Greenland generously posted a transcription at her web site. 
My mother's father was Benjamin Corbin; her mother Sarah Sias.  I think they both came from England.  Their ancestors lived in England where some of them still remain...  Grandmother had two brothers -- Joseph and Benjamin Sias.  I remember seeing them many years ago. They moved to Ohio...
Obviously, Benjamin did not move to Ohio.  Perhaps Joseph did, but unfortunately, the first census taken in Ohio wasn't until 1820, and we do not find him.
