Tombstone Tuesday - Arvin Olin



Arvin Olin is our 5th great-grandfather. He was born July 13, 1797 and died June 9, 1870. The above photo is from Standing Rock Cemetery in Kent, Ohio (not the best picture - I know.)

Our line leading back to Arvin is:

Jeanne, Susan, Heather (that's us)

David Austin Grubb III (our father)

Phyllis Gray France (our grandmother)

Carl Haymaker France (our great-grandfather)

Cora May Haymaker (our great-great-grandmother)

Oscar Fitzerland Haymaker (our great-great-great-grandfather)

Mary Rosetta Olin (our great-great-great-great-grandmother)

Arvin Olin (our great-great-great-great-great-grandfather)

When you get as far back as 5th great-grandparents - you have 128 of them. Hard to imagine. At this point - we only know the names of approximately a quarter of those 128 - but I'm working on finding as many others as I can!
