10. Henry Nearhoof, born May 23, 1835 in Warriors Mark, Pennsylvania; died Aft. 1880 in Indiana. He was the son of 20. John Nearhoof and 21. Catherine Hannawalt. He married 11. Mary E. Gasaway Bef. 1868.

11. Mary E. Gasaway, born 1844 in Jefferson County, Indiana; died 1920 in Indiana. She was the daughter of 22. Samuel Gasaway and 23. Nancy McMannis.

Notes for Henry Nearhoof:
In the 1870 census records, Henry and Mary may have lived in Clinton, Cass County, Indiana, but the records were unreadable except for the name. In 1880, they lived in Jefferson Township, Carroll County, Indiana with their four children, where he was listed as a carpenter. He left Mary with 4 children, sometime after the 1880 census was taken.

Notes for Mary E. Gasaway:
Mary married four times. Nearhoff died, Grimes was mean - so she divorced him, Cover died (he was a good man who had 4 kids), and then she married White. My mother remembers, as a small child, calling her "Grandma White". In 1907 she wanted to go visit her son, Willis, in the state of Washington. Since my grandfather, Louis Fleming, was the oldest grandson, he was elected to acompany her. When it was time to go home to Indiana, Louis stayed in Washington. Mary died in 1920 in Indiana.

Children of Henry Nearhoof and Mary Gasaway are:
i. Ulysses Alfred Nearhoff aka Harry Weller, born Abt. 1868 in Indiana; died 1941 in Redding, California; married (1) Nettie Wimer; born November 1872 in Oregon; married (2) Mary Money 1900.
Notes for Ulysses Alfred Nearhoff aka Harry Weller:
Ulysses was called "Ulle". My Aunt Virginia, (Mary Virginia Fleming), tells the story of how Uncle Ulle came to visit in Bremerton, Washington, when she was a girl learning to drive. She says he patiently taught her to drive, and was very nice.

Information from Betty Gustafson, descendant, as follows:
Ulysses went to Chicago and changed his name to Harry C. Weller. He married Mary Money, who he had met in Indiana, and they traveled around some - to Chicago, St. Louis, Michigan. They had maybe as many as six children, one was Harry Weller, Jr. and one was Betty's mother, Ellen. Per Betty, Ulysses was a scoundrel and may have had as many as five families. He eventually returned to California and worked on the Shasta Dam using his real name. After his death, he was cremated in Sacremento, and his ashes were sent to Michigan, where they were buried with his wife, Mary, after her death.
