Thanks to all the great responses. You guys are very helpful!! Several people have asked abt the naming pattern in my line. Here goes: 1. Jacob V. Courtright according to the 1800 census b. 1791-1800 & is head of his own household by 1820. Have never found a marriage so have no chidren for him. Think he moved to Huron Co., OH w/ Milo by 1840 2.James married in 1825 to Rebecca Sneary , listed in birth order between brother Jacob & Samuel. c1801-1804. Rebecca is listed as HOH in 1840-1850. Had 1 daughter born before 1840. Have only seen the 1850 index so don't know her name. In the Beaver Co., PA newspaper (right across the state line) dated August 15, 1834 it states the latest cholera vitims which included James Courtright. Since this was the ONLY Courtright family in the area I'm sure it's the same man. 3. Samuel b. April 30, 1809, married 1st to Frances ZOLLERS (who is related to me through a completely different part of the family tree!!). Children in order: James, Franklin (I think this is actually Frederick which was Frances' father) , Vail, Z (either Zollers or Zephaniah which is also from Frances' family), Mary Jane, Charles, Ann Rebecca, John, Sarah, William, Joseph, & Melissa. Married 2nd to Mary Stonebraker but no children. 4.Isaac born July 8, 1814, married Sarah Watson Jul 5, 1835 & according to 1850 census had 2 children: James & daughter M. E. James moved to Huron Co., OH where he died in 1909. However his son, Milo stayed in Carroll Co., OH & according to his bio worked in the flour mill w/ Harvey Courtright (dont' know who that was) & was a partner in the Carrollton Mining Co.in 1910. (I'm glad I'm going over all this, forgot I had this!!) 5. William married 1st to Charlotte Kelly in 1840 (Charlotte possibly a sister to Justus Kelly), 2nd to Mary Sergent in 1842. I haven't tracked him to find his kids. 6. Milo married 1st to Mary Skaggs 1843 in Jefferson Co., OH. In Huron Co., OH by 1840, went to CA. Am awaiting info on his descendants from a new contact just this week. 7.Judith. A Judy Courtright married Ziba Norris in Carroll Co., OH in 1820. I think this is Judith as there was NO other Courtright in Carroll Co. If so she would be the female child under 10 in the 1800 census. Ziba Norris is listed in the 1850 census index for Harrison Co. but I haven't seen it yet. 8. Rebecca. My line. Married Feb 18, 1821Harrison Co., OH to Justus Kelly (s/o Jonathan & Sarah). children in order: Charlotte (a Kelly name) , James, Jonathan, Martha Jane, Mary E. , Justice Milo, & Alice. Rebecca's obit only names her father. In Isaac's bio it stated that his father John had 12 children. I only know of 3 others that I could add to the above: Sarah Courtright married Oliver Bishop in 1846 Harrison Co , Sidney Jane Courtright married George W. Ralston in 1844 & Mary Courtright married Matthew Springer in 1825. Sidney Jane & Sarah could be grandaughters or daughters. After looking at this I wonder if John's father was actually James & his father-in-law was a Jacob V.something??
