Norman Runyon forwarded the following E-mail to Tom Runyan and myself. It relates to Orminer (Miner) Runyon, daughter of Vincent and Mary Runyon (Runyan).
I have very little on this family and almost nothing on Orminer Runyon/Runyan (it's not my line). What I do have is below....It would appear from the aboue E-mail that the dates I have may be incorrect.
Anybody have further information on this line?

Dear Norman –
We corresponded quite a while ago about this family.
Here's a report for your files about
Orminer (Miner) Runyon, daughter of Vincent and Mary
She was born 4 May 1799 in New Jersey and died 21 April 1861 in Huntington Co, IN
The birth and death dates are from her tombstone in Lancaster Cemetery in Huntington Co, IN
The place of birth is from 2 of her known children's statements in 1880 census.
She married Ralph Vandike, son of Dominicus Vandike and Hannah Rous in Maysville, Mason Co, KY.
(Parents identified from tax and property records in Mason County, and marriage records in New Jersey.)
I have a copy of the marriage bond signed by Vincent Runyon and Ralph Vandike.
In Vincent Runyon's will written November 1826 he left "Miner's" share of the estate to her children,
and people have interpreted that as meaning she had died. I believe Vincent didn't want Ralph
to get his hands on his daughter's inheritance and left it to the children instead. The estate
should have been settled at the death of Mary Runyon. I've not yet found a record of it, or of her death
although she continues to appear in the Highland County tax records through the early 1840's There
certainly wasn't enough money at the time of Vincent's death to have made it worth filing.
Orminer, Ralph, and children moved to Indiana. I find Ralph and family in the 1830 census in Fayette Co, IN.
The youngest daughter I've been able to identify was born in 1833 in Indiana, so Ralph must have died between
then and 1840 when I find Orminer and three daughters in the census in Rush County, IN.
Orminer remarried 21 September 1848 in Huntington Co, IN – this time she married John Wagoner, a widower
She is buried with him and his first wife at Lancaster Cemetery in Huntington Co.
At this point I've identified four Orminer's children.
1) Phoebe – b. 2 Oct 1825 in Highland Co, OH – married Francis Seward in Rush Co, IN 7 Jan 1844 –
d. 9 Sep 1891 in Shirley, Hancock Co, IN
2) John - b. 24 Nov. 1817 in Kentucky – married 3 times - Mahala (cousin of Francis) Seward 31 Dec. 1837
in Rush Co, IN, Elsie Seward (sister of Francis) 26 May 1850 in Rush Co, IN, and Rachel Wagoner 7 Nov. 1878'
d. 25 Mar 1881 in Hancock Co, IN
Phoebe and John are buried in Harlan Cemetery in Hancock Co.
The connection between John and Phoebe comes from Phobe's obituary
They both named daughters Orminer.
3) Mary Ann – b. 1821 in Highland Co, OH, d. before 1880 in Indiana (buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, Grant Co, IN.
When I get the cemetery records I'll have better dates, I hope.) Married 6 July 1847 in Rush Co, IN to William Richard Buffington.
4) Amanda - b. 1833 in Indiana – Married 30 Dec. 1849 in Huntington Co, IN to Henry S. Cloud – d. before 1880.
No place of death determined yet. The Clouds moved a lot.
The scenario is this – Mary Ann married William R. Buffington – they moved to Huntington Co, IN taking mother Orminer
and youngest daughter Amanda with them. Both Orminer and Amanda married there.
I believe an Andrew Vandike to be the other son, but at the moment I can't explain away a birth date in 1825 that's too close to Phoebe's.
I think I know who one other daughter is, but have only theory no convincing proof at this moment.
So for the official Runyon files – Orminer did indeed exist (some lists of Vincent and Mary's children don't include her)
– and she did not die before Vincent wrote his will.
Who else should I file this report with in order to get Orminer officially back into the Runyon family??
Thanks,
Phyllis Solter
Orminer and Ralph's descendant through daughter Phoebe.
