In a message dated 98-07-12 21:52:16 EDT, you write: > Some of it, but not all. Dick, I am not fussy--I will take whatever I can get.

HERE IS THE CORRECTION--OF COURSE CLINTON COUNTY IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO GALLIA--THE ABOVE 1830 CENSUS RECORD IS FOR WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP IN JACKSON COUNTY WHICH ABUTTS GALLIA. I MEANT TO ASK IF WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP IN JACKSON COUNTY WAS NEAR GALLIA. THE REST OF THE ABOVE INFORMATION FOR THAT CENSUS IS ACCURATE--PAGE 124--BUT IT IS IN JACKSON COUNTY AND NOT CLINTON. HE MOVED TO CLINTON LATER ON. Sorry for the caps but wanted to make sure the corrections would be noted. > > > Samuel Kiger, Chester Township, page 237. > > This is the same Samuel as above--I think.

Now in my index there IS a Samuel Kiger listed in 1830 in Warren County but he is in Clear Creek Township (and not Chester Twp.) and he is on page 176. I guess my index could be wrong--it wouldn't be the first time. > > > > Now I know that the Anthony Geiger in Licking County on this census is > Peggy > > Loos' Anthony--we have resolved that question. > > > > Monroe County: > > Daniel Kiger > > Henry Kiger > > James Kiger > > John Kiger all are living in Salem Township and are on page 107. > > Which census year?

THE ABOVE ENTRY IS FOR 1830 BUT YOU ARE RIGHT THAT DANIEL ALONE IS ON THE 1820 CENSUS IN SALEM TWP., MONROE COUNTY, ON PAGE 121 Joan
