A genealogy pen pal from Sanibel Fl once told me,I think,that her MARSH were from MONMOUTH Co NJ,by way of the MASON-BRACKEN CO,kY line. 1 Marsh brother settled near Laurel,Clermont;2 more near Owensville,Clermont 15-20 miles west of HIGHLAND CO.Oh I associate Conner with the riverfront east of NEW RICHMOND. I'd rather tract an unusual 1st name,than a common surname. Especially in this age of digital "searches" when one is confined be somebody elses indexing of a book. [Or semi-indexing,as in EVANS and STIVERS "History of Adams Co,Oh" My reprint edition has a nice index, but only [?] half the names are indexed. Come to a search engine like www.ancestry.bom's that asks 1st name- last name. Don't be afraid to put something like WEST for 1st and UNION for last. Or Steam for 1st Furnace for last. And on a web search engine put,in quotes "GREENBERRY JONES" or "ZACHARIAH CONNELL" . in quotes. Or,on quotes "MAY HILL" or 'LOCUST GROVE" or "Blue Creek" . And differant search engines give differant results. I have had 50-450 hits for FAGLEY; 10-62 HITS FOR JEGLEY. Depending on search engine. I posted 2 ministers names with Connellsville,Pa-Adams Co ties-a 3rd was JOHN MEEK.4TH WAS REV WM PAGE. Methodists. 1805-30 in sw Ohio. GREENBERRY surname found near Annapolis. JAMES CONNELL was son-in-law of COL WM CRAWFORD, KILLED 1782. Akin by marriage also to Stephenson's,and GRIMES,AND GRAHAM'S. Mahaffey's from same Connellsville,pa ,I think. Lafferty- I have been using www.google.com search engine recently. Genealogy seems to get edited "off" the more mature search engines. They were better for a genealogists 1-2 years ago n Mon, 1 Jan 1996 08:31:59 -0600 "Jim Ray" <jray@neonramp.com> writes: >This message is sort of directed to Herman.
