Cindy the Longs I've been searching for are invisible too. LOL Maybe it is them. : ) Write me back if you can make the connection. Sandy

My G-Grandmother is Sarah COOPER, b. 05 May 1873 in Adams County Is there a birth record that has her middle name and her parents names? Where would I obtain this from? Thank you very much (in advance) for any assistance you may be able to provide. Ellen Trop, Houston, Texas

Hi Cindy, I may have some Baldwin info for you. I can't look it up right now. Would you write me & give me the info you have and I'll look this weekend. Gary Stoltman Mercerville, NJ SHOFSTALL, MEANS, McNOWN, HOWLAND, McCUTCHEN, BALDWIN

Dear Sandy, So far I haven't been able to go back far enough to see if there could be a connection to Fanny. My brother has the family Bible, unfortunately he lives in NJ and I live in MI. One of these days I get it from him to see what is in it. Also, the Long name has really no connection to the West's. Dad always laughed when someone would call to speek to Mr. Long, since that really wasn't one of the partners's names. Use to joke about "Mr. Long"At 10:05 PM 8/18/99 EDT, being the REAL silent partners! I'll save your message just incase I someday can make a connection.

Cindy I noticed your letter for two names in it. My g-g-g-grandmother was Fanny(maybe Frances) Shanks. She married Zacharia Grooms. Also my husbands family is Longs from Hillsboro area, his grandfather was Everett Long. Sandy

Hello!!! I grew up in Belfast (right up the road from Adams Co.) and I'm trying to tract my family. My grandmother was Jessie Cynthia Shanks who married Charles Odell Baldwin around 1900. In Adams county. I can trace the Shanks side to the Beekman's of Adams Co. But really know very little about the Shanks or Baldwin line. My father was Walter West and he was co-owner of Long and West Livestock Co. of Hillsboro, horse trader and farmer. I can take the West family back to James and Rebecca (McCoy) West 1829-1891. thats all. My grandmother was a Dickey from Fairfax. Her line can go back to John and Rachel (Gilmore) Dickey, early 1800 to late 1800's. Also have a Dr. Test that practiced medicine in Portsmouth at the turn of the century until mid 1900's. Can't think of his first name, I think it started with an "A" - he was always just Uncle Dr. Uncle Walter Dickey was a brother to my grandmother and a laywer in Portsmouth. Don't know if you have any info on any of these people. Just surfing the net, hunting links. Cindy West Wilson

Good Morning to the List! I am a new subscriber to the Adams County list. Although I have lived in Denver for the last 22 years, roots are deep in South Central and South Western Ohio. At this time I am researching PAGE, BRANHAM, HOPKINS, FUGATE, DELLER, HOLTZ, ERVIN. My research has stopped with Benjamin Page and Amelia Hopkins. I know that members of the Page family lived in Adams County. Manchester was mentioned by relatives when I was young. I do NOT know if they are related because I do not know the name of Benjamin's father. There are several lines of Pages or Hopkins in Adams, Highland, Warren, Butler, Preble, Clermont, and Clinton Counties. This is the information I DO have: I find the New Jersey Pages', John, Daniel, and Abner Page in Clermont County, Ohio records (But no Ashiel). Father is Thomas Page. This branch of the family is believed to have emigrated to Adams and Clermont Counties through Fayette County, Pennsylvania. According to the Everts History of Clermont County 1795-1880, Dr. Andrew V. Hopkins-Host, Richard A. Hopkins-Treasurer, C. W. Page-President, A. Page-Teacher, Miss M. Page-Teacher and W. O. Hopkins-1855 "a member not mentioned before", among many others, were associated with the Clermont Teachers' Institute of 1848: meetings held at Amelia 12/26/1848, Bantam 11/3/1849 and 4/10/1850, 10/07/1850, 04/14/1851, 6th session-1852, 4/11/1853, 10/3/1852 and at Bethel 4/10/1854, 10/2/1854, New Richmond-1st session of 1855, Batavia 10/3/1855, 4/14/1856, Felicity 9/29/1856. Research shows that C. W. (Christopher William) Page, born 08-18-1822, married Eliza Jane Armacost 09-14-1843 and died 09-03-1890. He and Eliza are buried in Laurel Cemetery, Clermont County, Ohio along with Father John (b.09-08-1794, d.01-02-1888) and Mother Rachel Hartman Page (b.12-29-1796, d.07-07-1882). It certainly seems possible that John/Rachel are the parents of Juliana Page Edwards(b.01-30-1816, d.09-13-1896), Henry (b.1812-14, d.03-22-1857), and/or Thomas Warner Page (b.08-15-1817, d. 12-01-1900) although Ashiel b.(c1796) is also a likely candidate. C. W. Page is buried in Tate Township Cemetery, Clermont County. Abner Page b.(c1801), Joseph b.(c1801), Lorenzo D. b.(c1807), Daniel b.(c1804), are surely related because of the timeframes. It is possible, even probable that the father, or at least the grandfather, of Benjamin Page emigrated from New Jersey. Thomas Page of NJ is found on the 1810 tax list for Clermont County and John and Daniel of NJ are on the 1810 tax list for the adjoining Butler County, Ohio. And, of course, it is the father of Benjamin Page b.01-01-1836, d.12-01-1903 I'm trying so hard to find. Benjamin married Amelia Hopkins, b.10-11-1842, d.04-12-1937. When Amelia died in 1937, she was still living in Pleasant Plain, Warren County, Ohio. Both are buried in Goshen Cemetary, Clermont County, Ohio. Amelia's (a/k/a Amy) father was Richard A. Hopkins, mother Mary Dickie. Children of Benjamin/Amelia were Mary L. Page Leever, Ella Page Dawson, William H.Page, Leeander Page, John Wesley Page, George Page, Louis Page, Cora Page, and Lily (Lillie) Page. At the time of Benjamin's death, he lived in Goshen Township, Post Office, O'Bannon (USGS shows Warren County but there is also a Clermont County location), Ohio. Mary L. Page Leever's address was shown as Pleasant Plain (Warren County), John Wesley at Cresentville (Southwest Butler County), William H. at Pulse (South Highland County), Ohio and the remainder also at O'Bannon. I have the Death Notice for Amelia but not for Benjamin who is believed to have died at a hospital in Hamilton County, possibly Cincinnati. Unaccountably, nothing was left by the will of Benjamin to Leeander (or Leander), John Wesley, or George (although George died at 20 years old and may have been deceased at the time of Benjamin's death) No research has been done on John Page b.09-08-1794, d.01-02-1888 or Rachel b.12-12-1796, d.07-07-1882 because I have evidence that they are the NOT the parents of Benjamin. Information indicates that Thomas Page, from New Jersey, fathered Abner, John, Daniel, and Ashiel. Thomas is the father of John, and John is the father of C. W. Page. Anyway, C. W. Page is not reasonably old enough to be the father of Benjamin, but Thomas Warner Page (Buried in Tate Twp. Cemetery, Clermont County), or Henry Page among others perhaps not known to me, are likely candidates, again due to the timeframes. I have had better luck with the Hopkins and Branham families. This is so, due to a trip to the Kentucky "Genealogical" Center at Frankfort for the Branham's who I know originated in Kentucky, and to another researcher who gave me enough information on the Hopkins Family to take me to Miami County and the death record for Andrew Veneman Hopkins (If he is the father of Richard A. Hopkins, the family is already traced quite a ways back). This is a lot to read, and if you have done so, thank you. Should you have any information about these families, please advise me. I have some wills, burial records, census records, death notices and other source material which may be of interest to you as well. A Good Day to all, Richard Page

Very interesting. I never lived in Adams Co but I did live in the Dayton area. We drove around a lot of southern Ohio. I wish I had read this before we had gone then. It would have made us look at the land with a new eye. Thanks for this information. Linda --- hermfagley@juno.com wrote: > The 1st roads were traces following buffalo > trails,and Indian paths.

The 1st roads were traces following buffalo trails,and Indian paths. Salt lick to salt lick,to big spring. In some places,wagons could not follow these traces. Zane's Trace was soon relocated thru Bainbridge to miss crossing a Sunfish mt. A more gradual road for wagons was needed up Maysville hill,. Williamsburg and Bethel were located on the Bullskin Trace [RT 133,in places] .It had to be relocated to present RT 133 from Bethel-Concord Rd. West Union was nearly on Zane's Trace. There was no Georgetown til 1819,so the road between 1798 Bethel,and 1802 West Union passed well north of Georgetown. White Oak Valley likely. County seats got the early roads,as did the early grist mills and churches. 'OLD STATE RD + rt 774 was a road between Williamsburg,and the mills at WHITE OAK-there was no MT ORAB or Sardenia. An early 'state " ' nw territory" road ran between Cincinnati,and williamsburg,and NEW MARKET,and Chilicothe. Soon,it was replaced -1805 era, by ANDERSON STATE ROAD. In Clermont,it crossed from RT 32 TO RT 50 about TEALTOWN Rd,and joined RT 50 NEAR RT 222. It followed,roughly,RT 50 TO FAYETTEVILLE, then ran about 2-3 miles norh of RT 50 ACROSS HIGHLAND CO. It followed RT 50 again in ROSS cO. Old Anderson State Rd thru Highland runs thru a deep groove,where the mud was tracted out several feet deep. You can see the old roads running to grist mills on the 1870 atlas. Many of the connecting roads did not survivie to the automobile era for lack of needed bridges. Grist mills were located where the creeks provided water power,not necessarrily where the creeks hills were gradual. Many modern roads still follow the roads to mills. Many. The 1st churches soon found themselves at cross-roads,as road were built to get to church. Getting across the Little Miami River seems a problem for stagecoaches running fron West Union,and Bethel,to Cincinnati. At least at times, they forded the river someplace well north of Milfod,and went via Montgomery village and Montgonery Road. [Drove twice the miles..] Grist mills were the 'towns" often. Stills were there. Tanneries and blacksmith's. A small store. But,they were dependant on water power, which lessened,as the swamps up-creek were drained and farmed. Many were not on sites that allowd more than a cluster of houses. MILFORD,PERINTOWN,BATAVIA,WILLIAMSBURG are towns that survivied the loss of water-power. Steam became the mill's power in the 1830-40 era. Bethel,Amelia,New Richmond,Felicity,PT ISABEL,c had steam mills, but not the earlier water mills. For those of you not local, there are many places where the Ohio River hills,or the hills along major creeks are too steep to be passable by wagon. But,most often,a more gradual hill can be found within a couple miles. ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

To all, The OHADAMS list is in my opinion one of the most entertaining and informative email genealogy lists I have encountered. Unfortunately, I must leave the list for about a week. My duties as Missouri Department Commander, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, call me away from my home computer to Indianapolis for the national meeting. I shall return in about one week.

A branch of our family lost our Family Bible with all of the valuable information that we have to search so hard for now. Since then I have made it a point to check Bibles in yard sales, auctions and used book stores for information about a family. I found two and I needed a place to put the information out so it wouldn't be lost. (I'm not selling or pushing the Bibles, I have given them to the church to use, only the information in the Bibles that is so important to genealogists.) I knew I could put it on the rootsweb site for that surname except that they didn't have one with either surname so I went looking. I found a marvelous site but they told me they didn't have many members on the list. I was surprised. To sign up for this list, send an email to FAMILY_BIBLE-L-request@rootsweb.com Then watch for old Bibles and post the information for all to check. (I hope you find the Gibbens one we lost in Arkansas.) Also post on the surname site. We can help each other. Linda _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Peebles was established around 1885. But this Photography studio was in the area that became Peebles. The owner was David Ira Gardner the son of John Harvey Gardner & Eliza Ann Morrison. The Gardner's lived close to the Gorman's. Carey Thomas Gardner married Mary Gorman (my line). Carey is David's uncle. More can be learned about this at the Adams County Heritage Center, for they have more pictures by David and if I remember one of him. Delsey

I have a photo of two men who appear to have been twin brothers that was taken here and am trying to find out if this studio is still in business. This photo was in the effects of my g grandmother Amanda Gorman Drennon and I believe are some relation to her as she was born in Peebles. Any help with this request would be appreciated.
