This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RWB.2ACE/485 Message Board Post: In the 1840s, a great historian named Henry Howe visited each county in Ohio meeting many people and taking extensive notes. He published his History of Ohio shortly afterwards. Then later, in the 1880s, he revisited each county and updated all of his previous notes and made many, many drawings. He then almost totally re-wrote the entire book and republished it in 1886 in a two-volume set containing nearly 1000 pages. He has general history chapters and then he has a separate chapter devoted to each of the 88 counties in Ohio. The Ottawa County Historical Museum has reprints of each of the county chapters as well as several other publications and used books. Please email the Museum or Curator for more information. Thank you and happy hunting to all! Vicki Ashton, Curator Ottawa County Historical Museum ochm126@hotmail.com heypa@cros.net

I'm trying to find more information, descendants and ancesters for these people. Here's what I know and my theories. I'm trying to prove or disprove the following. Is anyone else researching these folks?? John BOYLES married Jane OVERLY in 1843, Mercer Co. & had following children: Mary E. b.ca 1843, who may have married Hiram BAKER Jemina b.ca 1847 Jennie b.ca 1847 who died of poison in 1893 John L. b.8-17-1850 m. Elizabeth JONES b. ca 1851 Miami Co. OH d/o William S. JONES and Nancy WEBB Martha b.ca 1852 m. John ALSPAUGH b. 3-1852 Jacob b.ca 1860 Martha & Jacob BOYLES are living with Hiram BAKER & Mary E.(assuming this might be Mary Boyles) in Noble Twp, Auglaize Co on the 1870 census. I believe Jane may have died after the children were born, John BOYLES served in the Civil War (4 yrs) and may have remarried before he went to war or after and the children were scattered around amongst relatives perhaps or were old enough to leave home. A Mary BOYLES filled for his pension as a widow from Indiana and George LIMBERT filed as guardian of minors. I have sent for his pension records and will be happy to share what I find with other descendants. His son John L. BOYLES lived in Troy, ran the City Hotel for a few years, moved to Dayton about 1910. Can anyone help me prove or disprove my theory? Any help is greatly appreciated. Lin

I have tracked Elam Kelly (Kelley) through the various censuses until he is 79 years old and living in Union Township, Miami County Ohio in 1880. His wife, Sarah was 75 years old at that census. It seems reasonable to me that they probably died in Union Township not too long after 1880. Would anyone have access to cemetery readings to locate their burial location and dates? Happy to share with any interested parties. Jim jkelly4@austin.rr.com Austin Texas
