Eugene,
It is good to meet you. I am a fifth great grandson of Paul and Alice Larsh, and forth great grandson of Charles and Sarah, as are you. You and I are distant cousins. You may be interested to know that I recently visited the pioneer cemetery where Sarah is buried. It is only 35 miles north of me, near Eaton, Ohio. Charles served as a "spy" (which meant scout) in the War of 1812. I believe he served at least part of the time out of Fort Saint Clair, which would have been a few miles from his and Alice's farm. I am not sure where Charles is buried, but will research that in the spring through Preble County records at the courthouse. (Research for a future book.) Did you read my novel, Paul Larsh An Original Frontiersman? If so I hope that you enjoyed it, since it is our shared heritage. Currently, I am working on a sequel that is set during the Revolution, but I have Paul, along with his son Charles, in a Pa militia unit.
