re: Daniel and Anna Messer

Question

I am researching Daniel Messer, born approx. 1823 in Pennsylvania had children with "Anna" (unable to verify if married or her full name). He lived in Kentucky and Adams County Ohio and appears to have died in Adams County Ohio. Children include: John Henry (abt. 1850), Alexander (abt. 1851), Robert, Lawrence "Alonzo".

Is this person in any of your trees or any possible connections?
