"Henry Kimmel, Died Mar 15, 1887, aged 69 yrs, 9 mos, 2 days"

   Marriage Records, page 44, in Harrison County Courthouse at Cadiz,
Ohio, says Bride's father present, but no name given.  Her name spelled Nop.

1850 Federal Census, Iowa, Van Vuren County, Lick Creek Township taken in
November 1850 has Henry enumerated as Henry Kimball.  This is the same person
as Henry Kimmel as the census data is consistent as to age and family
structure shown for Henry Kimmel on all prior and subsequent records.

                "Henry Kimball            Age 33     Farmer  Birthplace, Ohio
                       Sarah                  27                         Ohio
                       Jacb                    7                         Iowa
                       Almira                  3                         Iowa"

Interesting to note misspelling of Jacob by enumerator.  Jacb is shown in later
records to be "Henry Jacob Kimmel".  Went by "Jake", probably to distinguish
from father during youth.
Sarah NUPP
Birth:
Abt 1823
Rumley, Harrison, Ohio
Notes:
                   Other spellings depending on record show as Knopp, Noff, Nop, Nupp, Nopp, and
Nup.

Sarah's birth year approximated as 1823 based on age 27 on 1850 census.

1850 Federal Census, Iowa, Van Buren County, Lick Creek Township taken in
November 1850 has Henry enumerated as Henry Kimball.  This is the same person
as Henry Kimmel as the census data is consistent as to age and family
structure shown for Henry Kimmel on all prior and subsequent records.

                "Henry Kimball            Age 33     Farmer  Birthplace, Ohio

                       Jacb                    7                         Iowa

records show him as Henry Jacob Kimmel.  He was known as Jake to family
members, probably to distinguish him from his father Henry Kimmel while Henry
Jacob was young. The alternate spellings of Kimball and Kimble appear in some
