Hi! Noticed your bit about Antioch Cemetery - would you mind scanning for any Hamiltons or Edington's in that cemetery? I'm looking for Mary Margaret Hamilton Edington who was married to John W Edington. Mary's parents would have been Thomas & Mary Morrow Hamilton. I don't have dates, but Mary Margaret married John W Edington in 1863 - I'm thinking John W died about 1870 - perhaps in the Civil War. Thanks in advance, Nancy Peoria, IL

I got a copy of "History of Jefferson and Belmont Co." from Higginson also and it came with no index. Has anyone else had this problem and would anyone with the book be willing to copy the index and mail it to me? I would of course reimburse any expenses. Thank you. Sondra

Hi, In the book "Belmont County Before 1830" there is mention of marriage bonds as well as marriage records. How do I get a record of these marriage bonds? Who would have this information at the courthouse? I am interested in the marriage bonds of Joseph Powel and Mary Brook and Joshua Powel and Sarah Way both marriages in 1808. If there are marriage bonds as the book states, then bondsmen or a bondsman should be listed on each marriage bond, isn't that right? Any information about these marriage bonds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!!! Charlotte Lewin macslewin@aol.com

I live in Tucson and can have the Times Leader on microfilm interlibrary loaned to me at the downtown branch. Most libraries will interlibrary loan most books and microfilm. Julie

Bonnie, I also have James A. Caldwells "1880 History of Belmont & Jefferson Counties" That I purchaed from Higginson book Co.. I have no idea about the "Watkins". Could this be a different publisher that printed the book?? I am also requesting info from the list on how to perserve old books. I also have a first printing of James A. Caldwells, 1880 History of Belmont & Jefferson Counties. The pages are tattered and the and the binding is coming loose. I thought about having it rebounded, but did not want to rid of the original cover. Right now is is kept in a box with acid free paper wrapped around it. Any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks Donna indianrun@1st.net

Does anyone in this area have access to old issues of the Martins Ferry Times-Leader that could do a lookup for me? Am interested in the year maybe late 1950 or 1951 into early 1952. Don't know if the Barnesville Enterprise would have carried the story or if it existed in that year. Am interested in a court case that was tried at the Belmont County Court House. Thanks to all for your consideration. Barb

. http://www.libraryspot.com -- I am throwing this out there for those who may wish to pursue it. This sounded like a wonderful site, it was touted on the Good Morning America show several weeks ago. Supposedly you can find all kinds of library links--Library of Congress, atlases, encyclopedias; AND newspapers, old newspapers, old newspapers by zip codes. I explored this site briefly and think it would take a bit of delving to come up with these last newspaper items, it didn't jump out at me, but I didn't give it much time. Maybe it will work for you. Nancy

Bonnie, Do you know if the Wheeling newspaper dated 1922 would have obits on microfiche ? Thanks, Larry, Tucson
