She is sometimes seen in family files as the daughter of John Blosser and Catherine Beery, but the father's probate file[1] and particular family biographical sketches[2] suggest this Lydia was the daughter of George and Rebecca (Garrison) Blosser. (Thus, the granddaughter of John and Catherine.)

Do you know if John and Catherine had a daughter Lydia m. William Young?
According to probate records of George Blosser (married Rebecca), they had a daughter Lydia, she was then "intermarried with William Goring"; they lived at Fairfield County, Ohio in 1852. [Hocking County (Ohio) probate, case 325]
Have read the probate record again, and find I can reason "Young" out of the writing. You may want to look also. 1992421&wc9G91-4WP:266277801,266456001 Click Here.

George & Rebecca's 9 children were born from 1804-1825 in Ohio. (I thought I made this comment when I corrected them)
Should we address this in the narrative with a section about conflicted origins? Might there be some supporting historical records and reasoning?
