Tombstone Tuesday - Paternal Great-Great-Grandparents

A big accomplishment for any genealogist is to confirm the names of all 16 of their great-great-grandparents. We recently found the four names that we were missing from our family tree on my mothers side. My father's side has long been known - but on our recent visit to Kent we accomplished something else. We visited 7 of the 8 graves of our paternal great-great-grandparents. The eighth and final grave is for Cyrus William Gray who died in Norwalk, Connecticut. We'll have to visit there sometime soon. We've posted some of these before - but for completeness - here are our paternal great-great-grandparents.

Henry A Grubb - Born October 10, 1835 in Manchester, Ohio. Died November 2, 1906 in Sharon Twp, Ohio.

Harriet E (Randall) Grubb - Born August 22, 1841 in Granger Twp, Ohio. Died May 11, 1926 in Sharon Twp, Ohio.



Frederick N Alderfer - Born May 4, 1838 in Montgomery Co, Pennsylvania. Died August 2, 1899 in Wadsworth, Ohio.



Deborah Florence (Longacre) Alderfer - Born March 1, 1844 in Chester Co, Pennsylvania. Died December 29, 1924 in Akron, Ohio.



Elmer Ellsworth France - Born April 22, 1863 in Kent, Ohio. Died December 10, 1935 in Cleveland, Ohio.



Cora May (Haymaker) France - Born October 15, 1864 in Earlville, Ohio. Died May 12, 1931 in Cleveland, Ohio.



Anna (Goodwin) Gray - Born November 26, 1863 in Brooklyn, New York. Died February 9, 1945 in Kent, Ohio.



Cyrus William Gray - Born November 2, 1859 in New York, New York. Died January 7, 1934 in Norwalk, Connecticut.

Photographs were taken in Standing Rock Cemetery (Kent, Ohio), Coddingville Cemetery (Medina Co, Ohio), and Woodlawn Cemetery (Wadsworth, Ohio).

Can anyone else name all of their 16 great-great-grandparents?
