FORCE, GAREE, GARY, WHISLER posted by Kay Bauman on Saturday, January 15, 2000: I'm researching the Garee family. From what I know the Jacob Garee brought his family to Ravenna around 1845. I do not know his wife's name. His children were: Susan John Rhoda Francis Albert "Frank" Jennie Eliza Only Susan and John remained in Ohio when the rest of the family moved to Missouri. I know plenty about the kids who moved away but need to know about the two who remained in Ohio. John served in the Co. G 7th Reg. Ohio Volunteer and enlisted at Ravenna. Family tradition states that he was wounded and was sent to Washington, DC where he worked and was in the theatre at the time Abraham Lincoln was shot. About 1866 he came back to Ravenna and married Ellen Gary (I think). I know of only one child they had: Irene C. who married A.L. Whisler. Susan Garee married William Force and so the family tradition states raised her family in Ravenna. If you can assist with any information on the Garee family I would really appreciate the leads.
