[Kellie Runyan]

Hi, I came across this page randomly so I thought I'd comment. William Runyan, known to most as Bill, is my father. I never realized you could look up the people in families. I find it very interesting that you did. I also never met very many Runyans outside of the few that live in the Delphos area. I just thought I would but in my little tid bit about it.

[Travis Runyan]

I am Travis Runyan, William's son.

I was kind of surprised to see this info posted here.

I am not sure if the Runyans posting here are related to us, but my Aunt, Jackie Runyan (married to Todd, Bill's brother) has done quite a bit of ancestor research on our family.

I would be interested if anyone has any additional interesting info and would be glad to provide further info regarding our family.

My email address is [e-mail].

[David A Runyan]

I am David, one of Bill's younger brothers, there are 7 of us siblings in all. As Travis said, my sister-in-law had done quite a bit of research on the Runyan Family, some of the names mentioned by Tom I have heard before.

Tom, I am not sure if you remember, but we had exchanged emails a few years ago. I have been in Oklahoma for about 13 years now. Travis, and my son, Andrew are the last 2 Runyan boys in our branch of the family. I too would be interested in keeping up with your research and hope we can help further the knowledge of the clan.

I can remember back in high school, learning of the David Runyan b in 1793 from my Great Aunt Myra Runyan, kinda freaked me out.
