This couple married in Belmont County, 28 Feb. 1903. I have a wonderful photo of Iva and her daughter Katherine and then one of Katherine and her baby brother Birchard. She was a sister to my great grandfather. I cannot find John P. Haas in the census-any ideas? I am looking for more information on this family. Pam Klemm

My aunt sent me a box of old photos before the hurricane hit and these are from the Denney/Denny and Morris side of the family. Only about 1/3 of these are identified, but I really think most of these are Morris' people. They probably originally came from my Aunt Myrtle Denny who also lived in Barnesville with my Uncle Bert. If you have any info on the following couples would you please email me. Annie B. Morris and Willia W. Scholes Amanada L. Morris and ____Crew Melissa Clarice Morris and John Preston Brown Emma Jane Morris and George Crosser Eleanor E. Morris and John Denney/Denny Solomon Morris and Mary E. Hunt John Henry Morris and Mary J. Grubbs Lydia Ann Morris and Benjamin J. Strahl Mary Elizabeth Morris and _____ Dotson All of these are from Barnesville. All are children of Julia Ann LeMaster and Mordicia Morris. Pam Klemm

Does anyone know who Aaron Smith, age 24 in Middletown, Guernsey Co., Ohio is? He is listed with Ezekiel (I think it is Impeck), innkeeper. I am hunting a missing son by that name and think this might be him. He married a Mary Ann Patridge or something like that last name. He was a male courier and died in an avalanche, January 1870 out west. Any help appreciated. Jerilyn

In view of the recent posting regarding Linwood Cemetery, I am sending the following information. This data was extracted my me on various research trips to Belmont Co., OH. Since I was unable to get any help at the cemetery, I thought I could find my family through deed records. I'm sorry I didn't think of doing this years ago. However, I did not find my family.

I am looking for information on his wife Rachel Fisher. Abashi was born abt February 1833 and married Rachel in 1883. She must have died between the 1900 census and 1909 when he married Sophia Arnold Taylor. He might have married in between 1900 and 1909 as he said this was his 3rd marriage, but in 1900 he had only one marriage. They were living in Somerset Township, Belmont Co., Ohio. Abashi's mother was Rachel W. Barnes, if this helps any. Anyway, I am trying to prove parentage of Rachel. Thanks, Jerilyn

Thanks for answering. I am trying to find some descendants of this family. Judith's maiden name was Lappin and she was a sister to my great great great grandfather. I think Judith died before 1860. Joseph was first married to Hannah Harry in 1825 in Belmont Co., OH. They had two children William, born 1826 and Sarah, born 1828. Hannah died and then Joseph married Judith Lappin in 1831 in Guernsey Co., OH. They had John, Knight, Elizabeth, Thomas C., Hannah, Mary J., Rachel & Ruth A. After Judith died he married Elizabeth Denbow Wise and had Levi, Rebecca J., Anna Marie and one unnamed. He died about 1868 in Monroe Co., Ohio. I have only been able to trace two of these 15 children and Knight followed an aunt to Fulton Co., Illinois where he died young and the other was Thomas Clinton Fisher who was the first mayor of Chesterhill as well as a coroner and a soldier in Civil War. Joseph was from a long line of Quakers and his first marriage was to a Quaker women. He then married Judith, whose mother was Quaker, but evidently she wasn't. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sandra I have tried unsuccessfully on a couple of occasions to find information on my Hess and Roseman ancestors several of whom are burried in Linwood cemetery. I have an elderly Aunt who still lives in Bridgeport (Father's sister). She has been treated very rude and unkind by the man who supposedly is in charge of whatever records exist. I was very unhappy about that. I live in Mansfield and do not get to that area very often. I would really like for someone local to investigate the record situation. Both sets of my Grandparents on that side are in this cemetery. I would like to know where they are located.

If you'll do a simple search on google.com, with "linwood cemetery" +Ohio as your subject, you'll find a site that even has photos of the cemetery. You'll also discover that it is in/near Blaine, Ohio. Then, for driving instructions you can go to mapquest http://www.mapquest.com/ fill in the town, Blaine, and Ohio, and you'll be given a current map of the location of Blaine. The National Mapping service has a wonderful site that will enable you to find most anything, either by catagory or name, in ALL states....put it on your desktop for future reference http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form , I am interested in the "Linwood Cemetery" near Barton, Ohio.

I am looking for information on Sarah J. Crumley and James W. Edwards who were married in Belmont County on 27 February 1868. Sarah was the daughter of John Crumley and Eleanor Gray, who were also married in Belmont County and, at the time of the 1850 census, were living in Colerain Township. Eleanor died 18 July 1851 and is buried across the county line at the Seceder Cemetery in Mount Pleasant, Jefferson County. In 1860 John Crumley, daughter Sarah and son George were living with John's father in Harrison County. Sarah married James Edwards in Belmont County and in 1880 they were residents of Colerain Township. She was born c. 1845 and James was born c. 1847/8. They had at least two daughters, both born in Belmont County: Eliza Ellen, born 29 August 1869 and Mary Jane, born 8 August 1871. I have checked the 'Tombstone Inscriptions of Belmont County' book without finding them. Does anyone know whether James and Sarah appear on a subsequent census or if they are buried in Belmont County? If they are, I would presume they would be in Colerain Township, or perhaps they, too, would be across the line in Jefferson County. I don't have access to that book. --Larry Dickerson
