This might help in your research of the Beal surname. This name is very prominent in Charles Co., MD c. 1600's to 1700's. The name is spelled Beale, Beall. Harriet M. Herrington

I think I missed the first part of this thread but I am interested in it. I have: Isaac Newton TAYLOR 1824-1890 of Bellaire m Sidney Call BEALL in 1847 in Barnesville. I have their children, no further info on Sidney. Surely she can't be your Sydney with yet a third husband? But maybe they are cousins or something. I would like to know more about the BEALLs.

I'm looking for any connection to Catherine Beall b. circa 1800 who married James Edwards in 1825 in Jefferson Co., OH. I know of at least 1 child - dau. Sydney A, born abt 1826 who married Vincent Sutrgeon abt 1844 and David Thomas in 1859. I'm thinking that they also had a dau. Mary & a son, Michael - but not the records to support that theory. I know nothing more about Catherine Beall - where she was born, when she died (assume in Monroe Co., OH) who her parents were, etc.. - but would love to know. Anyone?

Well, to all who E-mailed me.... THANK YOU. I cannot tell you how many e-mails I got, even if I tried I could not answer all in a years time. I really didn't know there were sooo many of you that feel as I do at times.   I should not have posted that e-mail to the lists as I did and if I offended anyone I'm sorry.   But as I seen in most of your e-mails most of our people did the same thing.   Tried to hide as best they could. ..:) OK her it goes: Henry Wilson b-1782/1785 MD. married Isabella McGarr b-1786/1790 MD. There daughter was Hannah Wilson b-about 1813 PA. married John Givens b-1809 PA. and on 11-11-1830 married in Belmont Co. Ohio. There daughter was Margaret Givens b-1852 Oh. and married Squire VanCamp. James Squire VanCamp was the son of William VanCamp and Frances Jenkins b-1813 PA. and she was married first to a Ferrell. I thought at first she was a Ferrell until I found where she was barred and listed her parents as David and E. Jenkins. Again, thanks to you all, Emma

News from Olivett, Belmont County, Ohio as appeared in the Barnesville Enterprise, December 20, 1906: OLIVETT Was really glad that our place was so well filled in our absence last week by "Burr." If she, he or it will only give us their address or let us know who they be we will gladly give them all the news we can get or manufacture. If they will agree to write regularly we will sheathe our pen, throw off our disguise and lapse into innocuous desuetude. We have borne the burden for more than a quarter of a century; have withstood the hot shots of our enemies sent sizzling in our direction; have been constant in season and out of season; have not had the wisdom of a Grecian, the wit of a Carconian nor the versatility and flexibility displayed in Don Juan; neither have we had a writ de lunatico inquirendo sworn out for us. We have endeavored to give the news as it was without fear or favor, defend the name of our community and the integrity of its people and will welcome a respite. At present there is a great rush of business incidental to the holiday season. Melton's and Stamp's stores are both crowded with cash customers. Lynn's and Davis' dairys are pushed to their utmost capacities to supply the trade with their gilt edged, opaque saccharine fluid. Farmers Mead, Vanscyoc and Gov. are overtaxed with remunerative labor and boom times are on, while Teddy's message is received with much favor, the exception of that part which recommends that our public schools should include in their curriculum a shooting gallery. To said recommend we quiet and peace loving Olivettes cannot subscribe. To all appearances the outlook seems propitious with perhaps the exception of some of our nervous old maids getting a man. Prof. George Davis met with what might have been quite a serious accident, or more correctly speaking, a mishap, for he missed putting his foot on solid ground. He had left his cistern uncovered and in his hurry, characteristic of George, about his work he stepped into the opening with one foot, in consequence of which he received several bruises, and it was thought at first some ribs were broken, but later developments proved they were only bruised. We kinder suspect that George blames his good wife for leaving that lid off. At any rate its dollars to doughnuts he don't fall in soon again. It was demonstrated that sorrow never come singly for upon the same day he lost one of the most valuable cows of his herd by milk fever. Notwithstanding his "mash up" and loss George is just as genial as ever. Mrs. Grace Dyer, nee Campbell, spent a portion of last week with pa and ma Campbell and calling up on her numerous friends. Yule Tide is almost here and as usual our Sunday School will give an entertainment, Christmas tree and treat on Christmas eve which promises to excel anything had in the past. A fine treat of music is promised by Profs. Armstrong and Douglass, assisted by Miss Anna Snyder, organist. The votaries of Terpsichore assembled at Thurman Hanna's one night recently and tripped the Light Fantastic until the wee small hours. Music was furnished by Prof. Howard Acton and Hamilton Davis of Hendrysburg. The corn's all in the crib. The fall work all is done. So tune up the fiddle. And we'll all have fun. Mrs. Lou Aikin, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Rachel Taylor and her mother, Mrs. Smith, will return to her Iowa home next week. This is Mrs. Aikin's first visit in quite a number of years and she is loathe to leave her mother but home duties are calling and she must obey. Hog killing is the order of the day, and what with sausage, and what with buckwheat cakes, and what with mush and milk and a "little elixir to support the spirits of human nature" we succeed in maintaining our encrasy. Those of our community who attended the funeral of our friend J. S. Knox, were W. H. Vanscyoc, J. A. Burson, Earl Taylor, Anna Davis, Frank Warrick, Mary Melton and son Clyde. H. C. Gibson, better known to his many friends as Jersey, entertained a coterie of friends Saturday night of last week. The evening was spent in social games and genial conversation. At a seasonable hour refreshments were served in the most graceful style, characteristic of the host, which was much enjoyed by the guests, especially J. L. Taylor who seemed to have had nothing to eat for a fortnight. We earnestly hope nothing serious will result from the increase to his table of contents. Monk Burson, who has been plastering with James Burson of Hendrysburg the past season, has completed his summer contracts and will remain with pap during the time old Borea's garments are sweeping along the ground.

I am looking to connect my William Dillon family with their proper ancestors. My William Dillon was born in 1822 in OH. (County unknown and names of parents unknown) In the 1850 Monroe County, Green township census, our William appears with his wife Elizabeth (?) and three sons. William may have been the son of James and Sarah (Ward) Dillon but we have not been able to find the names of their children. Does anyone have any information on my William Dillon? Thanks for help.

Listers, As a sidebar to the usage of the aerial photographs at Terraserver, unless you are very familiar with the area and even if you are, you can get lost very easily on these maps. The topographic maps that are also referenced share the same coordinates and zoom levels although the Aerial can go one step closer than the topographic maps. I find it extremely helpful to have two browser sessions open at the same time. Find the area you want to explore on the topographic map without zooming or panning. You can make the map larger at that point if you wish. Once you find the area you want, right click on the aerial map link and open it in another window. When you navigate on the topographic map, mimic your same moves on the aerial map. You should be able to switch between the two sessions and see exactly where you are. If you use a full screen browser session, all the roads and features should line up exactly making it much easier to use and pinpoint locations. Another "secret tip" with using these maps is in the actual URL itself. There is only one difference between a topographic map and an aerial one. the "T=" is the type of map, 2=topographic and 1=aerial. if you find a place on one map and want to see the exact same spot on the other, just copy the url, paste it in a new browser session and then change that one byte to the other type of map. Very easy for people who are use to cut and paste. This is a topographic map location for Barnesville. Try opening it in one window. http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp?T=2&S=14&X=151&Y=1382&Z=17&W=2 This is an aerial map location for Barnesville. Try opening it in another window. http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp?T=1&S=14&X=151&Y=1382&Z=17&W=2 You'll see the difference is just the "1" and "2" in the URL. Keeping this in mind it is very easy to jump from one type of map to the other and keep the same location and perspective. There is also another Topographic map service which some may find easier to use but they offer no aerial maps. It is called TopoZone and can be found at: http://www.topozone.com/find.asp . it works a little like the USGS map queries where you have to specify what type of feature your looking for (or any will get you just the map) but the result is the same map source as Terraserver's Topographic maps which also are based on the USGS maps. Hope this helps make these easier to use. They are great sources for finding cemeteries, churches, land features, etc. Denny Shirer - drdx@neo.rr.com Shirer Family Genealogy Project http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mysong Salem Township, Muskingum County, Ohio http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mysong/salem > Subject: [OHBELMON-L] aerial photos online > Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 13:49:32 -0700 > From: "magwrite" <magwrite@lamar.colostate.edu> > To: OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com > > The free Microsoft site: http://terraserver.microsoft.com/default.asp is a > very useful place to view aerial photos (and maps) for much of the country. > You can easily find small towns by name, and cemeteries and individual farms > if you have directions or know locations. > > _

The free Microsoft site: http://terraserver.microsoft.com/default.asp is a very useful place to view aerial photos (and maps) for much of the country. You can easily find small towns by name, and cemeteries and individual farms if you have directions or know locations.

Thanks to everyone who answered my question on when Parkersburg, Virginia became W. Virginia. This is a great list with great people..................Pat Shop online without a credit card http://www.rocketcash.com RocketCash, a NetZero subsidiary

Pat, West Virginia was not in existence until 1863....So therefore Parkersburg was in Virginia until that time as was all of what is now West Virginia...

Everything that is now WV was once part of VA......the state was formed after VA seceded from the union. -----Original Message----- From: Pat Saemmer <patinfla@netzero.net> To: OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com <OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, February 02, 2001 10:51 AM Subject: [OHBELMON-L] Geography Question >Hi Listers, > >I know that W.

I got this response to my request for maps. I was interested in a Georgia Map this time, but from time to time I look up other areas-- I thought I'd pass them on: 1895 U.S. Atlas site http://www.livgenmi.com/1895 The above site is searchable by town, county, and/or state, and is especially good for finding places no longer in existence. These are good, too: http://tiger.census.gov/ http://www.mit.edu:8001/geo http://www-nmd.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html <A HREF="http://naco.org/counties/counties/index.cfm">Click here: NACo - About Counties - U.S. Counties</A> If the link doesn't work the URL is: http://naco.org/counties/counties/index.cfm

Ancestry is at least moving westward with their records but FTM seems unable to get themselves ferried over the Mississippi. FTM has no records for Iowa or Nebraska ..I am not sure about Kansas. I was able to find some wonderful information on FTM about the Holloways..very attracted to the Branson men..several Holloway women married into the Branson family. Don't feel bad about being unable to find relatives...someone beamed my husband's line down also..all the Bagbys are related except his line which seems to have come out of nowhere. anne > I have had NO luck on any of the paid web sites.
