Lengthy obit for Hon. W. S. Kennon....Mayor of Barnesville...son of William Kennon... What started me on this was my interest in Somerton, Ohio. Since my family has been from there since the early 1800's I was looking for the articles written specifically about Somerton. If you have ever read the Barnesville Enterprise or any of the early papers you know that they carry aritcles written about each little town. In this issue, I have the articles regarding Somerton Fairview Badgersburg There are too many names to mention to the group, but if you have family from any of these places, I can try to send a copy of the article. For some reason they are harder to read, maybe different type...but we can try.

I believe the index was something like $15.00 extra, if memory serves....and, worth every penny.

Sandra, I have a copy also and I think I purchased it from Clossen Press. Does that sound right? Purchased an all-name index separately. Didn't pay $100 for it but been a few years and might have gone up. Think is was closer to $70. Jerilyn

I'm researching the Wallace family of Belmont County. Two brothers, Thomas H and James W Wallace, served with the OVI 77th Regiment, Company E. James also served with Company F. Do you have them in your roster? Also, their uncle, James Wallace, may have served in the OVI as well as a cousin, Nathaniel. Just curious as to the information you may have.

Someone has asked me about the book I quoted from, and I cannot find their email, so here is the info. CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF BELMONT COUNTY, OHIO AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS compiled by A T McKelvey pub. in 1903 It was about $100.00 but I can't, for the life of me remember where I got it....you should be able to google the title and find it.... Sandra

What unit was your ancestor with? Post his name and unit and I'll see if I can find him in the rosters I have.

Both my great grandfather, Benajah Burcher, and my great uncle, William Louis Burcher enlisted in this unit. It was commanded by John Smith according to Benajah's pension papers He mustered out of Malaga 22 February, 1864.

I'm not sure if this would be "allowed" but I would love to have everyone email in with the group their Belmont COunty Ohio ancestors fought with. I can look mine up, I have it somewhere but I would like to find others that served with my great grandfather. Is this possible and is their any one else interested? Pam

Thanks to everyone for your information.

The internet sometimes sends mail at sort of random times. For what it is worth, and these are family records that may be wrong, my records say Chandler Taylor served in Company G of the 98th Ohio, so possibly there were more companies than the ones in your list, or maybe he enlisted somewhere else, probably a nearby county. What I gave wasn't very complete. Chandler's brother, Philander Chase Taylor 1846-1865, also served in the 98th, Company I, and was killed in the war 5 Jan 1865. Finally, Chandler's (later) brother-in-law Albert Skaggs was also in that regiment, Company G. Jan
