There is a Nathaniel ROSE listed in the 1807 Ohio, Adams County, Meigs Township "Male Enumeration List". I believe he migrated from New York to Kentucky and later settled in Ohio. However, I lost him after this enumeration list. I believe he had a son named Lawrence of Adams/Brown and Highland County Ohio. I have not proven this connection. Does anyone know Nathaniel ROSE?

I am looking for Rumer surname. I have been stuck on Jesse Rumer b. 5-31-1825 (no parents or sibs) for nearly 11 years now. I have his wife, Caroline Elizbeth Jacobs b.1826 her parents names and the fact that she had 2 sisters and 5 brothers that survived her when she died in 1905 however I do not have the sibs names. They came from Hardy Co. Virginia 1847 (now West Virginia). to Fayette Co, Ohio and some of their 12 children settled in Madison Co., Ohio. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.

If you haven't had an asnwer to this question, you might check another way. Consider checking out the Pence websites by Richard Allen Pence. He might have Serena in her birth family with correct information about her husband and children. Death certificates are less reliable due to the data having been reported by some one who may not really know correct information. Obits can likewise be faulty. I would be more likely to trust the census.

It is still available from the Adams County Genealogical Society for $65 plus tax, etc. It is full of all kinds of information, including some genealogical info on some of the early Adams County pioneer families. You can write to them at: ACGS, PO Box 231, West Union, Ohio 45693. They might also be able to tell you a little more about Easter Run. There was an atlas of Adams County called the Caldwell Atlas (which is no longer available for purchase) published in 1880. Easter Run might be on it. A lot of the Easter family settled in the Lynx area. Hope this helps.

Many of the descendants of the original founders stayed in the area. I am a direct descendant of some of the original founders and while I don't live in the area, my Grandmother is still there (Winchester) and I have several other close family members nearby. Watching how the various family names intertwine is very interesting. By accident, I discovered that my great grandmother and her husband's brother's wife were 3rd Cousins. I often wonder if the two knew they were related, but I doubt it. I'd love to one day have a history of the entire county from the late 1700's to mid 1900's, though this is a project much too ambitious for just myself. Often when I visit graveyards there, if time permits, I just photograph everything because the ones I don't recognize normally end up tying in somewhere once I've done enough work. Some of my best finds have started with nothing more than a photo of a tombstone for someone I didn't know, but suspected tied in somewhere.

Surnames: Black, Easter, Jones Classification: lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.counties.adams/3562.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Shooting from the hip here, but some of my knowledge may be of use. The Easter line isn't directly related to mine (Black) but ties in several places through marriages. There's a good little piece written up on the connections by a Mr. Jones if memory serves correct (I've got a copy of it around here somewhere). At any rate, the Easters I believe would have been settled somewhere nearby the Blacks. I can't locate the Easter Run mentioned on my map near Lynx but my map is also missing some of the finer details. There are several sites (including some graveyards) near Lynx (some east a bit some south a bit) where the Blacks were settled. Some of the telling locations would be Zacheriah Run (While I have no evidence how Zacheriah run was named, Zacheriah Black owned this property at one point from what I can tell of the property records, so I figure it has to be him or his son Zachariah or his grandfather Zachariah, etc.), Soldiers Run (frequently turns up as a landmark in the ! Black family history), Satterfield Cemetery Satterfield Road near where D.S. Black owned property, and several other spots in that general area as well. More to the south there is a Black Cemetery, Blacks Run Road, and Blacks Run (creek). I've not yet confirmed these three were actually connected to my particular group. A great many of the road names, creek names, etc. in this area read like a genealogy road map if you know the people from the area. Now assuming there is an Easter Run in that general area, was it named after the Easters? Quite probably. Your group of Easters? Don't know your group so I can't comment :P Might also help to know that there are several Easters buried at East Liberty Cemetery located at Lynx beside East Libery Church, most from the 1800's. If you'd like to research the subject further, I'd recommend a visit to the Adams County Genealogical Society. Check the land records among other things while you're there. They've got a number of resources yo! u'd probably find useful. Anything else I can do to help?
