Nancy and other Ohio Union Civil War descendants: A great publication by Whitelaw Reid, "Ohio in the War" v.2, (1895) reprinted 1998, has a list of every Ohio unit. Some have excellent accounts of recruiting. pp.371-375 deal with the 63rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Here are some excerpts. The Sixty-Third Ohio was organized by a consolidation of two battalions. The Twenty-second battalion was recruited at Camp Worthington (Chillicothe, Ohio). The Sixty-third battalion was recruited at Marietta, Ohio. Does Chillicothe sound right to you? It is close by.... A list of officers appears, but I do not see anyone named Kennedy as a captain or lieutenant. John W. Sprague, the great railroad organizer from Huron city, Erie County, Ohio, was the regiment's first colonel.

Due to the 1908 courthouse fire in Adams County, I am unable to document that my family lived there. This is what I know: According to 1880/90 census: Edmond Verax and MaryAnne (nee Roell) Verax lived in Greene Township, Adams County. They moved there in/about 1865, and raised seven children. Some of the children are: George (B.1979), Charles (B.1880or81), Harry, William, MaryRose. Edmond died October 1894. MaryAnne also had two children from previous marriage. She was the widow of Henry Hitter when she married Edmond. The only record that I've been able to get from the Adams County Clerk was a death certificate for Charles Verax (Jan. 1960). George was my g-grandfather. And he is buried in Alexandria Kentucky. Can anyone give me any leads? Edmond Verax was from France, and was suppose to have arrive here in US in 1865, but no idea if he lived somewhere else before settling in Adams County. According to his obituary, he was a close personal friend of Honorable George Pendleton. Not sure who this is, but must have been important to have been mentioned in the obit. I appreciate any help you can send my way. MaryAnn (Verax) Meyer

A helpful friend, Marilyn Schmidt (on this list), provides the following excerpt concerning an early Methodist Church in Ripley that lists several names. I suspect "Mr & Mrs M'Daniel" were Valentine & Sarah McDaniel since they were living only a mile or so north of Ripley in Survey #1033 (in Pleasant, later Union Twp) -- while there were no other McD's in the area to my knowledge. Even by the 1820 census, most other McD's (7 in total) were in Huntington Twp, plus Joseph, s/o Valentine, in Eagle (later Byrd Twp), and another Joseph up north in Clark (later Scott Twp), I believe. This 'new' info possibly 'fits' my earlier posting where Valentine & Sarah donated land to Methodist Episcopal Church Trustees in 1842, after they had moved to Survey #641 of Byrd Twp in 1832-33. So, while I thought Valentine was most likely Scotch-Irish Presbyterian, this 'new' info provides reason to rethink this -- possibly he converted from influence by Sarah or the many Methodist circuit riders and preachers of that time? The names of other church members listed in the excerpt below are unfamiliar to me; do any listees have info for these families, or more info concerning an early Methodist Church in Ripley? (Pages 420-421 of Beers' History of Brown Co. tells much about early churches in the area -- including this Ripley Methodist Church, see my addition after the excerpt of Marilyn's.) BTW, Marilyn Schmidt is researching her HEWITT ancestors: Richard HEWITT who also lived in Survey #1033, and Ephraim HEWITT, who was in Survey #664 (early-mid 1800's.) Please post to the list concerning Hewitt's. Here is the excerpt from Marilyn: >From "Foot-Prints of an Itinerant" by Rev. Maxwell Gaddis, pp. 67-68: "Methodism was planted here at an early period. (Ripley Oh) The first Methodist sermon was preached here by the venerable John Collins, of precious memory, a particular account of which I furnished Judge M'Lean for the biography of father Collins. In 1818 soon after my father settled on Eagle Creek, a small class was organized by Rev. Wm. Dixon in the town of Ripley, of which my brother, Rev. John Gaddis, was appointed leader. The names of the members were: John Ashbaugh, Sophia Ashbaugh, John Walkington, Ann Tupman, Miss Gooty, Mr. Tupman, Mr. & Mrs. M'Daniel, Rachel and Sophia Hardin and Miss Anna Hardin, and a few others whose names I do not now recollect. The first preaching was held in private houses. It was next removed to the new court-house and under the labors of Rev. Andrew M'Clain, a number were added to the church. The next place of preaching was in an old frame house, which had been previously used for an oil-mill. It was in this old, antiquated house that I first heard Rev. Russel Bigelow preach a most powerful sermon".... etc. Beers lists the church members as "John Ashbaugh, Sophia Ashbaugh, Ann and William Tupman, Rachel, Sophia and Anna Hardin, Mr and Mrs McDaniel, William Creekbaum and John Cauffman. The home of John Rhodes was the place of preaching, and afterward alternately the houses of Ashbaugh, Hardin and Jackson." While posting, another topic concerns township modifications through the early years, which I attempted to reveal in my first paragraph above, possibly not altogether accurately. This is probably why Sandra Lewis, prior leader of the Adams Co. list, was recently trying to find a map showing township changes of that county. Many twp names in the area were changed in the 1800's, possibly in years soon following Brown Co.'s formation from Adams and Clermont. A map showing these progressive changes would certainly help. Best wishes to Sandra, with a job-well-done belated thank you. Neil McDonald

My husband's g g grandfather, Paul K. JONES, was in Company B of the 70th Ohio Volunteer Infantry from October 15, 1861 to August 14, 1865. He lived in both Adams County and Scioto County. He apparently acted as a newspaper correspondent for several Northern newspapers during that time. Would anyone be able to tell me how to find the articles he wrote or have any suggestions as to which papers they might be printed in? Any ideas or suggestions are welcome - thanks for your help! Patty in Colorado

Jean, My Great grandfather who was suppose to be in the Ohio 63rd Regiment was Peter Jefferson KISLING. I have a small picture of an officer from the Civil War that says Captain Kennedy on the back.

Does anyone know anything about the 63rd Regiment of Ohio in the Civil War. The little information I have says my great grandfather was in the 63rd Regiment and I assumed Adams Co., OH because he lived near Locus Grove, OH. I have learned Adams Co. did not have a 63rd Regiment. I was hoping someone on the list might be a Civil War buff and be able to give me an answer. Unfortunately I don't have the Internet so no help with sites on the Internet will help.

E AND S "HISTORY OF ADAMS CO 1900 say a little frame Catlolic church was built in Manchester, 1889. And it says that was the only Catholic church ever in ADAMS CO. Oh So,Maysville,Ripley,and Portsmouth for Catholics. I was raised with an older gentleman ,whose family lived in this neighborhood on horse and buggy days 10 miles from the nearest Catholic church at NEW RICHMOND,Oh. And he told of his dad's fmily only going to church Easter and Christmas. His son,today,is a Catholic Deacon. BROWN CO,Oh was more CATHOLIC. A big,early Catholic settlement in the ST MARTINS-FAYETTEVILLE area. A Catholic church in the mid-county GERMAN settlement of ARNHEIM. And RIPLEY's Catholic church. The St Martin church was,in part, a real estate sales idea-to get LOWLAND European Catholics to settle,and drain the nearby white oak swamps.
