I am sincerely hoping someone will recognize some of these names, as I have hit a brick wall. I have in my possession an 1851 Family Bible with beautifully clear handwriting. This Bible was passed down to me, and had belonged to my gg grandmother, Sirinda NYE. It says "John NYE and Sirinda BENNETT married November 13, 1845." According to the 1850 Census, they were by that time living in Liberty, Crawford Co., Ohio next to John Nye’s parents, John and Christina (Bordner) Nye and John’s brother, Philip Nye. John NYE was born 22 Aug 1818 and is decended from Johan Adam Neu who arrived in the U.S. in 1749. . But WHO was Sirinda Bennett? Was Sirinda a nickname? The census gives her name (incorrectly) as “Selinda.” But who were her parents or family?? BENNETT’s of OHIO? Spelled BENET, maybe?
John and Sirinda (BENNETT) NYE's children were: as follows and I believe all of them were born in Ohio:
William Nye b. 06 Nov 1846 d. 22 Dec 1924
Lucyann Nye b. 02 Jul 1848 d. 22 Nov 1848
Henry Nye b. 30 Oct 1849 d. 21 Nov 1927
Samuel Nye b. 30 Jul 1851 d. 18 Apr 1928
David Nye b. 08 Mar 1854 d. 24 Nov 1864
Franklin Nye b. 25 Feb 1856 d. 08 Feb 1941
John Nye b. 25 Feb 1858 d. 15 May 1930
Laura Nye b. 12 Oct 1860 d. 16 Mar 1938 married
Samuel Richard (these are my great-grandparents)
Sally(Sadie)Nye b. 06 Nov 1862 d. 20 Aug 1935 married
Fred Jewell
Sirinda Bennett Nye (wife) died Nov 1864, no birthdate given. I believe John NYE may have married again.
John Nye (husband) d. 10 Oct 1895
I am fairly sure the family lived in OH, and later on in Michigan. If anyone has any information on the parents of Sirinda BENNETT NYE or knows anything about the children, please contact me. Sirinda BENNETT has been my "mystery woman" for a long time! THANK YOU so much. My email is j3zf4yg"at"sbcglobal.net
