Bio and Links
Bio Photo I am the oldest son of Wilbur James Priest and Rose Louise Cupps. I was born and raised in the Toledo, Ohio area. I have been doing genealogy research since I was about 9 years old.

I am a member of:
GCS - Genealogy by Computer Society of Toledo
LCCOGS - Lucas County Chapter OGS
NGS - National Genealogy Society
OGS - Ohio Genealogical Society, serving as a Trustee
APG - Association of Professional Genealogists
I am a frequent speaker at local, regional, and national society meetings and seminars.

I am doing a one name study and have done extensive research on the surname Priest. I am currently preparing an interactive CD and a multi-volume book which will exceed 4,800 pages on the Priest family when it is released. My direct line ancestors came from Wales and settled in Virginia, then later moving to Licking County, Ohio.
I am also researching my other paternal line - Ankney/Ankeny and my maternal lines - Cupps and Schumacher.

Please feel free to contact me with additional information or corrections.

Find A Grave Memorial# 38798170

This article states his wife's maiden name as Susan Ellen Hupp.
On Susan Ellen Priest's page , you have her maiden name listed as Susan Ellen Nichols. Which one is correct or was she married to a Nichols first? Thanks

This memorial updated also. I don't like to assume relationships that I don't know for sure. Someone created a memorial for one of my ancestors and they had them linked to her brother as her spouse, LOL! Most of the time I research the peple in my memorials to link family members in the same cemetery but I just added the Priest memorials the other night and haven't got to it, yet. Thank you!

Priest's in Fuller Cemetery, Laurens, Otsego Co., NY
I linked Edson Priest's parents to him and added Otsego Co. to his birth and death events, per your request. If you'd like transfers just let me know. I am no relation but I like to add memorials to the small, older, usually family cemeteries, that seem to be often "forgotten" in time...
I did not find a wife for Edson in this cemetery. He is buried with his parents and three of his children that died very young. Sad.

Thank you for the additional information. PTL that Warren is still alive. I did not make a memorial for him I only mentioned that he was listed on the headstone so that makes my statement correct. He is not buried there.

RE: Scott P. Russell
Thank you, William. I didn't know it was possible to transfer an entry to someone else. Thank you also for taking the time and effort to add Association Cemetery to Find A Grave. Many people will benefit from your generosity.
