Hello, I'm looking for information on Comfort Marshall Santee. She was the daughter of William Santee born Feb.1, 1814 and Rachael Baldwin born June 9, 1825. She married James Ellis Chamblin. He was the son of Marquis Delafayette Chamblin born 1834 and Emilene Palmer born 1836. Is anyone researching these names? I'm also trying to contact Alice Chamblin Thatcher who posted a message to the Family history website for these names. I would like to share information. Thanks for any help. Janet JansGen@aol.com
No MD here, a few yrs back a biospy was taken from Melvin re: a tumor on his foot pad, and the Dr. diagnosed it as being Elephant Mna's disease. The Dr. said it was a adolescent disease and he would not get anymore thatn the one he has on his foot. Cheryl Hunter Long
This is a FANTASTIC site...... A nice researcher sent it to me and I MUST pass it on... :) Jeannie <>< <http://www.livgenmi.com/1895.htm>
As I understand it,and using a chicken egg as an example of a cell, the genetic DNA is found in the nucleaus, [or yolk, and the mitochondrial DNA is in the cell fluids,or [white of egg]. And the mitochondrial DNA always comes from the female, so mine is the same as my Mom [BROWN],and her mom[ELY,],and hers [JUSTICE],and hers [BLACKMAN 1815 NJ shore to sw Oh] and hers[Champion, and hers;[Ingersol] and hers TOWNSEND-CT>NJ So my mitrochondrial DNA, should be identiacal to a TOWNSEND gal in 1600's CT ? And my daus,and grand dau must have identical mitochrondrial DNA with MELVIN LONG of BAKERSFIELD,CA, FAGLEY>KIRKPATRICK.ASHTON>MAHAFFEY[b ne Adams Co Oh]>Walker> Newman. So, up in very eastern Adams Co,Ohio around JAY BIRD,and Blue Creek,AND Bill town,ON Scioto Brush Creek must be others with the same mitochondrial DNA as my kids. This is not genetic DNA from both male and female, but I "must" ask "the" question of my research. My only nephews died of Muscalar Dystrophy. "They" say their mother's genes changed,to allow them to get it. I've never found any trace of MD in those sharing genetic DNA with her.

New England's Congregationalists-ex Puritans, and the Presbyterians ,abt 1700,co-sponsered missionaries,with new churches so founded to be Presbyterian. Evang Reformed Dutch,and French,often became Presbyterians. And the Scotch,and Scoth-Irish. Some say NEWTOWN LONG ISLAND, JUST east of the UN BUILDING ,WAS 1ST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH in colonies. Early sw Ohio Presbyterians split by the 1801 Cane Ridge Revivial "NEW LIGHT" spirit,if not by the earlier "NEW LIGHT"expeiance from Whitefield's time-1740's. Rev's Finley's .involved in both. Many NEW LIGHTS BECAME SHAKER BY 1806-11 Downtown Cincinnati had only Presbyterian ministrs til the NEW LIGHT split. Adams Co was more Presbyterian than the others. Brown Co early had a Presbyterian church on every major creek,a few miles from the Ohio,but many became SHAKER,or NW LIGHT=CHURCH OF CHRIST=CAMPBELLIGHT CHRISTIAN. Only very eastern Clermont had Presbyterian churches 1st 25 years. [?] Then,1820's churches at NEW RICHMOND;NICHOLSVILLE,AND BATAVIA,AND 1860'S BANTAM. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I have heard rumours that there is supposed to be a cemetery somewhere along Big Woods Road, west of Rt. 770. Someone was supposed to look for it so it could be read and listed. This cemetery is supposed to hold the grave of a Rev. War soldier named Van Pelt who at one time owned the land where the cemetery is. I have heard that at one time this area was a forest of 400 or 500 acres, hence the name, Big Woods road. Does anyone know if this cemetery had been found? I am researching the Van Pelt family and believe this may be my elusive Tunis Van Pelt buried there. This is in Scott Twp., which is where my line of Van Pelts lived. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Linda Bowman lindave@bright.net

Hello: I recently became aware of a possible connection of my VA Shelton family with those of Ohio. I believe that James Shelton and Francis Dallas may be my GGGGgrandparents. Can anyone enlighten me regarding James' grandson Thomas abt, 1814 OH? He would be the son of the "Squire" Thomas and Elizabeth Shelton. Could this 1814 Thomas Shelton be the same Thomas who married Elizabeth Allen in Patrick Co VA in 1835? Having searched VA, TN and KY, I found no birth./parentage of my GGgrandfather Thomas Shelton b. 1813. Therefore, would appreciate any suggestions/ info on finding out if Thomas Shelton of Ohio is one and the same. Thanks Deborah Shelton Wood

Another Tippecanoe Co., IN biography. JOHN HIETT, Jackson Township WILLIAM HIETT, the father of the gentleman whose biography is herewith presented, was a native of the State of Virginia, and during his residence in that State married Miss MARY DANIEL, also a native Virginian. By this marriage they were the parents of eight childrenELLEN, SAMUEL, LETTIE, ELIZABETH, JOHN, ISABELLA, JAMES and MARY, of whom only three survive, viz., ISABELLA, MARY and JOHN. WILLIAM HIETT was a man of great energy and unconquerable perseverance. Reared to farm life, and inure to labor himself, he early taught his children the principles of economy and industry, as the only road to success in life. In 1806, he moved to the then new State of Ohio, and became identified with the early settlement of Adams County. Brown County was formed in later years, by incorporating portions of Adams and Clermont Counties, Mr. HIETT's farm being included in the district thus created. Thus he became interested in the development of both counties. In a heavily timbered region, remote from the influences of schools, refined society, and all that makes life pleasant, and surrounded by all the trials and hardships which characterize a frontier settlement, he passed the remainder of his life. For a period of eight ears he continued to reside in this locality, during which time he made many improvements, and reduced his forest farm to a state of comparative perfection, deriving therefrom a return sufficient for the support of his family. He was one who ever commanded respect, and when, in 1814, his active life closed in death, he was universally lamented throughout the community in which he resided. JOHN HIETT, the subject of this biographical sketch, was born in Adams County, Ohio, on the 26th day of October, 1808. Left fatherless before attaining to the age of 7 years, he has been compelled through life to rely in a great measure upon his own exertions. From the fact that his early life was passed amid the scenes of frontier life, his educational advantages were of a very limited nature. Such as he enjoyed, however, were eagerly improved by him, and although his school privileges were limited to three months each Winter, the instructions there received laid the foundation for a store of knowledge which has placed him above mediocrity. Out of school hours, his time was occupied on the home farm, and this pursuit became, in later years, his chosen avocation. In 1829, he gave his hand and heart in marriage to MISS ELIZABETH HAWK, a native of Brown County, Ohio. This union was blessed by four children; named respectively, WILLIAM, MARY, JAMES and PHILIP. On the 10th day of March, 1834, Death entered the household, and his devoted wife fell a victim to his irresistible power. In the following year, MR. HIETT removed to Tippecanoe County, Ind., and located in Jackson Township, where he has since continued to reside. In 1837, he was a second time united in marriage, choosing for his companion MISS SARAH A. ODELL, also a native of Brown County, Ohio, who came with her parents to Tippecanoe County in 1831. They were the parents of five childrenJOHN WESLEY, FRANCIS MARION, SUSANNA, SAMUEL R. and NATHANIEL G. In March 1846, MR. HIETT was again robbed by death of the companionship of a faithful and loving wife. Two years later, he married his present companion, MISS MARY F. DAVISON. MISS DAVISON was also a native of Brown County, Ohio, but was reared in Montgomery County, Ind., having removed to that county with her parents when quite young. This union has been blessed by eight children, named respectively, GEORGE WEAVER, ALFRED C., EMERY R., GEORGE W., ISABELLA L., SARAH A., CHARLES G., and MARGARET D. Each of the children was provided with a thorough education, and all have turned their talents to good account. SAMUEL R. attended Asbury University, at Greencastle, Ind., graduating in 1867 with the degree of B.S.; SUSANNA graduated at Terre Haute Female College in 1857, with a degree of M. E. L.; FRANCIS M. graduated at Rush Medical College in 1861; EMORY R., graduated at Asbury University in 1877, with the degree of A. B.; SARAH A. is now a student in high standing at Purdue University. JAMES located in California when quite young, and there engaged in mining with fair success. He subsequently married and engaged in farming, remaining thus employed until the date of his decease. WILLIAM removed to McLean County, Ill., where he engaged in farming; PHILIP located in the same county and for a time was engaged in mercantile pursuits, but finally adopted the occupation of farming; FRANCIS M. is a practicing physician in Red Oak, Iowa. SAMUEL R. adopted the legal profession as his field of action in life, and entered upon the practice at LaFayette; EMERY R. is now reading law with the view to adopt that profession; and GEORGE W., is studying the science of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. In the labors incident to farm life, MR. HIETT is assisted by those of his children who remain at home. Much of this labor, however, is performed by himself, and although 70 years of age, he is still vigorous and healthy, always happiest when actively employed. Although never a politician, he has always felt a lively interest in the success of the Republican party, whose principles he has supported since its organization. He is not identified with any religious denomination, but has done much throughout his life, both by precept and example, to encourage morality among all with whom he has been associated. His wife united with the Methodist Episcopal Church early in life, and has ever been a consistent member of that denomination. Her example has been followed by her children, who are all members of the same church. Combination Atlas Map of Tippecanoe County, Indiana, pg. 48 Kingman Brothers, 1878
