Looking for ancestors and their families

GOHEEN, HARDMAN, WAGNER, BRAGG

I am looking for information on the following families who resided in Butler County during the period of approximately 1850-1890.

Goheen: William and Frances Goheen came to Butler County in 1852 and settled in Coldwater Twp. with their sons James and Rufus.

Hardman: Rufus Goheen married Margaret Hardman, the widow of a grocer named Miller. I think she was the daughter of John Hardman and sister of Aaron Hardman; these Hardmans moved to Butler County in the early 1850s.

Bragg: Erastus and Louisa/Lucy Bragg came to Butler County in 1861 from Wisconsin or Illinois and settled in the Dayton Twp. Their five children were LaFayette, Clarissa (Clara), Sylvester, Roxana, and Martin V. Bragg.

Wagner: Roxana Bragg married William Harrison Wagner, who had fought in the Civil War, sometime before 1870. I don't know anything more about him.

Albert Newton Goheen (son of Rufus Goheen and Margaret Hardman) married Lucy Irene Wagner (daughter of William Wagner and Roxana Bragg) in 1887 in Minnesota. Rufus, Margaret, William, Albert, and Lucy are all buried in Washington State. I would like to find out more about these families if anyone knows.
