Thank-you for welcoming me. I am actually interested a Law line, but I am not related to it. Thought maybe I could contact descendants this way, besides finding ancestors. I have a JOHN LAW who married into my Windsor family. (I am working on my descendants of Jarvis Windsor [c1660-1730] of Charles Co. Maryland.) JOHN LAW (1801-1878) married Sarah Elizabeth Windsor (1796-1868). Sarah Windsor is believed to be a daughter of Jonathan Windsor and ---- of Frederick Co. Virginia. John Law maybe a son of ISSAC LAW, who is in the 1800 census of Franlin Co. Pennyslvania. JOHN LAW was b. 6 November 1801, in Franklin Co. Pennsylvania. He d. 24 July 1878, at Somerset, Perry Co. Ohio, aged 77. He md. Miss Windsor on 10 April 1823, in Frederick Co. VA. John Law spent most of his early life in lower Frederick Co. VA. the part which is now in Warren Co. VA. In November 1828 he, and his wife, moved to Somerset, Ohio. Also included in that move were his wife's sister, Margaret, and her husband Samuel Grubbs. John Law was a saddle maker and tanner. John and Sarah Law had 7 children: female unknown, William, John, Margaret, Samuel, Sarah and Emily. In 1861 John and Sarah Law divorced. (We are trying to get a copy of the divorce papers, but LDS has not microfilmed court records of Perry Co. Ohio after 1855. We have tried to get copies from Perry Co. Court, but they sent records to ..... Athens Co. University. !!!! Athens Co. U has yet to reply to request letter --- 2 months now.) As for myself, I have been doing genealogy since I was about ten years old. Started in 1959. Made my first pedigree chart in 1961. I am now considered the expert on the Windsor family in America. I have researched all the colonial Windsor lines in America, except for that of John Windsor (c1650-1732) of Somerset Co. MD, which I intend to go to after I finish Jarvis Windsor descendants. I have major completion of Joshua Winsor (c1619-1672) line of Providence, Rhode Island & Robert Winsor (c1620-1672) line of Boston, Mass. Also some on John Windsor (1752-183-) of Rennslaaer Co. NY. For me biggest change and development in genealogy, the huge amount of people now pursuing the hobby, and the cost of records, films, etc. When I started genealogy, the only other people in the library were retired applicants for the DAR . Copies of records in the 1960's were cheap, death certificates $2, most county clerks would do some research for you for nothing. I used to get notes from county clerks along with the records, things like, "I knew your grandparents. They were wonderful people." Now LDS is charging $4.25 per roll of microfilm, expensive if you only need a page or two copied. Yet I continue. Most of my friends and relatives think there is something wrong with me. They look at my notebooks and say, those people are all dead! Come back to the land of the living. The other funny thing is other researchers always want copies of everything. I don't mind giving copies of anything - I need them too - but sometimes I make 20 copies of something and the postage is $3.50 to send and all this adds up when you have a lot of correspondence. I wonder if I should print everything up and let that stand for people to make copies from. Wouldn't it be nice if the US Government paid genealogist to do american history. Now you know a little about me and John LAW.
