Daughter of Aaron Stratton, 1807 KY - 1874 OH and his second wife Matilda Hill (Rice?? see her memorial), 1830 OH - 1905 OH (Aaron was likewise the second husband of Matilda).

As of Jan 2017, the burial location of Aaron is unknown in findagrave. However the memorial for his older brother Lewis Stratton contains a list of their siblings as well as brief notes for their parents and grandparents.
========================================
The extended family
==========
Known children of Aaron Stratton and Rachel Fox, 1812 - 1859 OH, married 18 Feb 1832 Brown Co, OH.

William 1832 OH - 1887 OH
Catherine b.1837 OH
John 1838 OH - 1862 MD
Colfax ? (see note below)
Lewis 1841 OH - 1896 OH
Thomas 1843 OH - 1911 OH
Gilmore 1844 OH - 1898 KS
Margaret Jane 1849 OH - 1882 OH (m.Eli Martin)
George b.1851 OH
Sarah Ann 1853 OH - 1877 OH (m.David Swearingen)
Mary Elizabeth 1859 OH - 1876 OH

The 1840 Federal census for Aaron lists 2 males under 5 and 2 males age 5 to 9 (plus daughter Catherine). Thus there is an unknown son born before about 1835 and another between 1835 and 1840.

Personal family history includes a son named Colfax, perhaps born between John and Lewis, who may account for the youngest 'missing' male.

==========
Known children of Peter Archer, 1833 - 1860 and Matilda Hill, 1830 OH - 1905 OH.

George b.1854 OH
James C 1855 OH - 1889 OH
Margaret Ann (May) 1859 OH - 1948 OH (m.John Coffman)

==========
Known children of Aaron Stratton and Matilda Hill. Married 20 Aug 1862 (just 4 weeks before the death of son John at the Battle of Antietam)

Ida 1863 OH - 1936 OH (m.J Lowell Wolfe)
Emma 1863 OH - 1938 OH (m.George Ruble)
Rachel 1866 OH - 1867 OH
Amanda (Maud) 1869 OH - 1948 OH (m.James Zink)
Henry 1872 OH - 1921 OH

====================
Final note on Matilda Hill - the 1900 Federal census lists her as the mother of 9 children with 6 still alive. IF correct then 1 birth and 1 still alive in 1900 are missing from the above list. Both James Archer and Rachel had died by then leaving us to conclude that either George Archer survived well into adulthood and the unknown child died before getting to a census OR George died young and the unknown child lived for quite some time yet never appeared on a census with Matilda. The former possibility seems more likely.
