George Yarian and Mary May had 14 children, including a daughter, Mary, that married Benjamin Hoffmaster in Columbiana County on 3 Jan 1871. Mary's death certificate lists George Yarian and Mary May as parents, and she is found living with them in Unity Township in census records.
I've been researching the Jacob May & Sophia Rummel family (and all relatives) of this area since 1990 and am getting back to working on WikiTree. Jacob & Sophia are direct line ancestors of my husband. I'd love to be put on the trusted list so I could add any important findings.
Thank you and best regards, Mary May
