   This site examines the history of my ancestors, primarily the Bowers, Price, Nye and McDaniel families.
    Following are my some of my earliest ancestors in these lines:
    + Diel Bauer emigrated from Germany to Pennsylvania around 1750.
    + Andreas Neu immigrated from Leistadt, Germany, to New Jersey in 1733 and later moved to Pennsylvania.
    + Christian Price and his son Nicholas emigrated from Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, to Hancock County, Ohio, in the 1830s.
    + James B. McDaniel was born in Delaware in 1802 and migrated to Wayne County, Ohio, and later Wyandot County, Ohio.
    Other families in my ancestry include: Moyer, Bellas, Lesnett, Potter, Hartzell, Stamm, Piersol, Stilly, Custard, Graff, Gerwig and Erb in Beaver and Butler counties in Pennsylvania; and Frederick, Tracy, Tracht and Warner in Hancock and Wyandot counties in Ohio.
    I am always interested in sharing information on these families. Please contact me at brianingrid@hotmail.com for further information.
