Nehemiah died in Defiance County and is buried with his first two wives. Third wife Eliza remarried and died in 1912. ***Patty's notes---A link to Nehemiah's parents is nearly impossible, as the church records for the family were probably destroyed in a fire and the private cemetery on a farm near the Pigeon Creek Baptist Church (Washington Co., PA) was turned under, with all markers destroyed. (Info from page 215 of the "Ames is the Name" book by Richard D Ames, copywritten 1959). Nehemiah had 9 known siblings. Known Find-A-Grave memorial # links to those siblings are: Hannah (Ames) DeGarmo -- #90460388 Martin Ames -- #90619869 Absalom Ames -- #87486129 George Ames -- #33245989 Anna (Ames) McAfee -- #90907546 Dorsey Pentacost Ames -- #54974589 William Ames -- #23429349 John M.
