I will have the chance to visit the National Archives for a day at the end of June. I don't know where to start looking for Ohio info. Any suggestions? At one time, someone who worked there was on this list - if you still are reading, please write to me separately from the list. If anyone has visited the archives and can give me some suggestions, I would dearly love to hear from you. Patti

Has anyone searched for any of Hardesty's Historical Books? Do anyone know where they might be found? Peggy

I found that a relative had been committed to a mental hospital also...the information was in his file at the courthouse in his home county...Had gone searching for a will and a possible divorce and found that.. I would think you would find it in the file with his will or probate records... Also searched another Iowa county and found a book that listed all the commitments in that county from 1870 or so on... What county in Iowa??? I am in Iowa... anne > I've recently found that an ancestor was commited to a mental hospital > (abt 1901-1905) and then spent the rest of their days at a 'county > farm'.

I've recently found that an ancestor was commited to a mental hospital (abt 1901-1905) and then spent the rest of their days at a 'county farm'. These aren't OH relatives (Iowans, actually), but I figured the question's pretty universal & you all seem to have an answer to just about everything - how would one go about finding such records? And if I found them, does one have to wait until all living grandchildren have passed away to gain access? Nancy Peoria, IL

What's the relationship? His mother is my brother's wife's sister. His father is the brother to my other brother's wife. A "once removed " something or other, or no relation? Jerry Conners

Hi Bonnie, Could you please look in your book and see if there is anything about William Thomas Lewis born abt. 1789 or his wife Hester (Ester) Jane McKnight? I do not have his parents names. Hers were Alexander McKnight and Jane Baker. Thank you so much for your help. Betty Evans

Bonnie: I have NY Rices from Cortland Co., NY.... Allen and Melinda Rice. They came to Ohio sometime I think in the early 19th century. Are these names familiar to you in your own Rice line? Diane

Having a terrible time locating my gggrandparents that lived in West Wheeling possibly Bridgeport area - James and Catherine Thomas Williams - he was possibly a steamboat man on the Ohio River. Their oldest daughter Jane Williams b- Dec 22, 1837 - Bellaire, Ohio m- 20 Dec 1855 in Belmont a James Henry Hornage. He had three sisters (I think they were sisters) . One was named Mary Elizabeth Hornage who married Samuel A. Clemens on 15 Oct 1865 and another Elizabeth Hornage who married Henry S. Robson - I know so very little about the Hornage family that I am hoping other family lines may know something to be able to put this puzzle together for me. I can not adequately thank you for any information or suggestions!!! - but do send my heartful thanks - anything would help at this point! Lynn - Calif. Searching: in Ohio: Williams, Thomas, Hornage, Robson, Clemens, Lallance, Wise, Yost, Hartshorn

Searching for the suranme Lallance. LeRoy Lallance married my gggrandmaother's sister (Elizabeth Williams b- 9/2/1850 in Ohio -probably around Bellaire) and d -10/5/1932. Or the family to John A. Wise who married Mary Agnes Williams b - 1/18/1848 d - 8/28/1931. Or the family to Dr. Hartshorn who married Catherine "kAte" Williams b - 1/11/1840 d - 6/1920. I am having a very difficult time finding any information on thier parents James and Catherine Thomas Williams m - May 23, 1835, Belmont, Ohio. Catherine was b- Octo 18, 1816 d - Aug 23, 1878 possibly in the Rock Hill area. I thought if I went through other family trees I would stumble upon some information on James and Catherine. Thank you so very much for any help or suggestions - have really ran into a road block on this generation! Lynn - Calif. Searching in Ohio: Hornage, Williams, Lallance, Wise, Hartshorn, Clemens, Robson

(that is where most of the genealogical info. is anyway) and post the indexes and try to share some of this info. I didn't feel like I was utilizing all this info. before. LEVI STARKEY was born 25 Dec 1832 and was s/o William STARKEY of Montgomery Co., MD, who came to Ohio in 1831and had 4 sons and 4 daughters. Levi was married to Susan ELLIS, d/o Elisha ELLIS (the less) and he now lives near the town of Flushing, where he is a justice of the peace, having been elected to that post in April, 1878. Mr. Starkey has taught school for 25 years and served as township clerk continously for 11 years. I have reworded this and the way it is worded in the book, it is not clear if Levi or his father had 4 sons and 4 daughters. I do not know what "the less" means after Elisha Ellis' name either. The book: "Levi Starkey, Esq., soon [sic] of William Starkey, of Montgomery Co., MD, who came to Ohio in 1831, had 4 sons and 4 daughters." I think it was supposed to mean the father had these children. -- Bonnie Burkhardt <burkhard@flash.net> <bburkhardt@juno.com> Let the threads that weave meaning through our yesterdays strengthen the tapestry of our tomorrows.
