NOTE: MY WATCHLIST HAS FAR EXCEEDED 5,000 PROFILES. I WOULD LIKE TO PASS SOME OF THEM OFF TO OTHERS MORE CLOSELY RELATED TO THE SUBJECT OF THE PROFILE. IF I HAVE CREATED A PROFILE FOR YOU OR AN ANCESTOR/DESCENDANT OF YOURS AND YOU WISH TO BECOME THE PROFILE MANAGER, I WILL GLADLY ADD YOU OR TURN IT OVER TO YOU COMPLETELY. SIMPLY ASK. I AM AGGRESSIVELY ADDING EVERY DESCENDANT OF ANY ANCESTOR OF MINE AND WOULD LOVE ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CARE TO OFFER!

I am currently attempting to research and document both ancestors and descendants of the following Ohio based Timmons/Timmins patriarchs (basically I looked for any Timmons/Timmins family that existed in Ohio between 1800 and 1850 and looked for the earliest known ancestor and began documenting everything I could. Any help would be appreciated. I only enter the individual into Wikitree if I can provide at least some concept of documentation of the parental relationship.):

1. Charles Timmons [1751-1819] (my own paternal ancestor)
2. Mitchell Timmons [1804-1866] (likely father Leonard Timmons)
3. Cyrus M Timmons [1804-1872]
4. Lorenzo Dow Timmons [1811-1861] (LIKELY father Edward Timmons and this line goes back much further now to [[Timmons-1189|John Williams Timmons (1620-1680] - Ireland])
5. William Perry Timmons [1821-1903] (possible father Daniel Timmons)
6. George Augustus Timmins [1824-1885] (a confirmed DNA match to me) (Possible father John Timmins)
7. Benjamin F Timmons [1830-????]] (I personally know one of his descendants)
8. Melvin Arthur Timmons, Sr [1913-1997] (father of the publisher of The Timmons Family Newsletter, ancestors lived in Ohio. Appears to trace back to the well documented William and Priscilla Timmons. No effort to document by Jeff YET.)

Born in 1950s. Son of Robert Lacey Timmons, III of Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio, United States and Jane Anne (Dodge) Timmons/Kenan of Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia, United States.

Personal Brick Wall Ancestors:

3rd Great Grandfather Charles Timmons (1751-1819) - Wife is Mary Magdalena (Forney) Timmons (1774-1850). Who are Charles' parents? His wife's lineage is well documented in Pittis Genealogy, so no help is needed there.

2nd Great Grandmother Eliza (Glass) Brown (1835-1919) - Her father was Thompson Glass. Who was her mother? Eliza's mother is my youngest ancestor not yet identified. Is Thompson Glass actually Aaron Thompson Glass as linked on other genealogical web sites without convincing documentation?.

3rd Great Grandfather Thompson Glass - He is the father of Eliza (Glass) Brown. Who are his parents? Who was his wife? There are multiple people name Thompson Glass in that area. I need compelling information as to his parents.

2nd Great Grandfather Valentine Dohn - Need sources confirming his parents clearly and concisely. Likely parents are already identified on Wikitree.

Jeff received his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees from Otterbein College (since changed name to Otterbein University) in Westerville, Franklin County, Ohio, United States.

Jeff received his Master of Business Administration degree from The Ohio State University^[1]

Jeff is married. He and his wife have a son who is highly energetic and enjoys a variety of sports (and sadly too many video games to mention......).
