It would be interesting to note the various occupations and locations of FPOC's in our family lines. Many are simply listed as Farmer or Laborer, but there were also many with a trade or skill. One occupation noted in my family research is that of Barber.

Here is a listing of some ancestors, with the area where they practiced the trade of Barbering.

David Adams (1826-1913) Findlay, Hancock Co., OH
Isaac Adams (1825-1855) Springfield, Clark Co., OH
Francis Adams (1832-????) Bellefontaine, Logan Co., OH
George Adams (1869-1941) DeGraff, Logan Co., OH
Abram Reno (1823-bet.1870-1880) Saginaw, Saginaw Co., MI
Francis Reno (1815-1852) Iowa City, Johnson Co., IA
Joseph Reno (1813-bet. 1870-1880) Medina, Medina Co., OH
William Reno (1827-1887) Urbana, Champaign Co., OH

The Adams men are g-children of 'Grandma Reno' & the Reno men are her children. Grandma Reno had a relatively long period of bearing children , 30 years from 1800 to 1830.

A short bio for each may found in the My Family History section on my Home Page.
