Does anyone have any information on a Mose Whittelsey of Freedom Ohio. He may have fought in the civil war and may have lived in a place called New Guina, near Alliance Ohio?
Dr. Kelli Watkens
Cleveland, Ohio

best answer

Miss Watkens
I believe there is a connection to Reverend Jermaine Luguen the abolitionist, and to Johnathon Haines of the underground railroad in Salem Ohio. It's New Guinea, now defunct, was three miles north of Alliance Ohio, Freedom, Ohio was one of three towns merged to form Alliance when the railroad came into Ohio in the 19th century. Good luck with your search.
