Hi all - Just wanted to jump in here and let people know... over the Memorial Day weekend, we too were in Belmont. We had a little extra time so we went looking for a cemetary we weren't sure how to find. To make a long story short, we ended up in Dillie's Bottom (of all places) and found a VERY old cemetary there. I believe it was called Lockwood cemetary. We walked around a little; most of the stones were unreadable but there were quite a few Lockwoods there. I didn't really pay much attention (I was looking for Suttons or Coffmans or Hendersons) but perhaps it has been transcribed. Just thought I'd mention it. Teri Garety (nee Henderson)

Here is what it has to say about Alexander McHenry: He was a private in Co. D 1st Regt. O.V.I., age 22 (at time of entering service? I don't know), enlisted 10 Jun 1846, record of service was 1 year and he died at Camargo, Mexico. It also states that Co. D was recruited at Portsmouth, OH on 1 Jun 1846. There is also a history of the Regiment in here. Let me know if you want more. I have an ISP problem and have been accessing my e-mail on the web site with another ISP. Slow going this way and I am way behind on managing my e-mail. Bonnie Burkhardt <burkhard@flash.net> <bburkhardt@juno.com>
Visited the above cemetery over the Holiday weekend and picked up as many names as I could. There are more graves there - it wasn't my intent to write everything down, but I got as many as time would allow. In addition to the list below, there were more McKelveys and some Paulls - I'm sure many other names. These are just the ones I could read. Let me know if you're interested in any of the surnames and I'll give you what I picked up. Glad to share.

Hello Everyone, My name is Don Howell and my wife Lisa and I have just join this group today. We're researching the following Surnames: Repik Cassol Vavroch Pretis Zambon Stis Puperi DiLoreto Bryan (married into Repik) If anyone has anything on these families please drop us a email :) Thanks! Don & Lisa Howell Arlington KY
Nancy - I don't have any of those names but I want to ask if you, or anyone, knows why it is called Lockwood Hill. My 3ggf Noble TAYLOR 1776-1848, originally from Virginia I think, m Elizabeth LOCKWOOD in Cecil Co MD in 1798. They were in Belmont Co by 1806. I had assumed Elizabeth's family was from Maryland but I don't actually know, and I wonder if there were/are LOCKWOODs in Belmont County. Anyone know? I do not know who Elizabeth's parents were or anything more about her.

Found these surnames when searching the cemetery along Pipe Creek. Called it Lockwood Hill Cemetery only because it was on that road. If anyone has a formal name for it, would love to know. BUSKIRK, BERRY, WRIGHT, FENTON, DUVALL, FOWLER, LAWSON, SLOAN, KRIVENKO, MCLINTOCK & REYNOLDS Let me know if any of these names are of interest to you. There weren't many graves there and I couldn't read them all - but you're welcome to what I could read. Nancy
An ancestor of mine served and was killed in the Mexican. How can I find info on this? His name was Alexander McHenry of Belmont County. I believe Glencoe. Thank you Jerry E. Conners

Went 'grave diggin' over the Holiday weekend and visited Pleasant Hill Cemetery - sittin' on top of a knob up on Warren Ridge. Below are the surnames I was able to pick up.

Would appreciate some advice from anyone on the list as to next step. IF a soldier in the War of 1812 were granted bounty land in 1850 while living in Belmont Co. (fought while living in PA), and he chose to accept it and sell (?) it to his son, would Belmont Co. be the first place to look for a legal transaction? This land was in Brown Co. Indiana, both father & son (James Coffland, Sr. & Jr.) were living in Belmont Co. in 1852 when father sent the certificate to the Land Office in Jeffersonville (Clark Co. )IN. Would there likely be any record of this transaction in the Belmont Co.? I do have a copy of the affidavit that Belmont Co. officials prepared for Sr. swearing to his identity and service. Any advice is appreciated Eleanor McCain

To Patti and Carolyn!! I to have an ancestor who was also in the 174th!! His name was Seth Williams and he was from Somerton, Belmont County. I have the movement info on this infantry that I had found at the Barnesville Library!! I hope this helps you both!! 174th REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY ONE YEARS SERVICE This Regiment was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio from August 18 to September 21st, 1864, to serve ONE YEAR. It was ordered to proceed to Nashville, Tenn and report to General W.T. Sherman. The Regiment reached Nashville September 26th, and was immediatley ordered to proceed to Murpheesboro. It remained at Murpheesboro until the 27th of October. When it then was ordered to report to the Commanding Officer at Decatur, Alabama. It was to move to the mouth of the Elk River, leading, on the way four Companies as a garrison for Athens, Alabama. The Regiment soon returned to Decatur, where it remained until the 26th of November, when the town was evacuated. It then returned to Murpheesboro, where it remained during the "Siege" (Dec 4th) and participated in the Battle of Overalls Creek, on the 7th of Dec. the Regiment was engaed in the Battle of the Cedars on the 17th of January. it then moved down to Tennesee and up the Ohio River to Cincinnati. It was then ordered to Washington City, which it reached on the 29th of January, 1865. The Regiment remained in camp at Washinton City until the 21st of February. When it started for North Carolina, it reached Fort Fisher on the 23rd. It then marched to Morehead City, reaching the on the 24th, and Newbern on the 25th. It took part int he Battle of Wises Fork at Kinston, North Carolina. Under the order to muster out Volunteer whose terms of services expired previous to the 1st of October, the One Hundred and Seventy-fourth was mustered out June 28th, 1865. I hope this helps!!

Has anyone on this list come across a reference to the 174th Ohio Volunteer Infantry being from Belmont County? If you have, please post to both the Belmont and the Guernsey County lists.

G of this Reg't on Aug 22, 1864 in Columbus, OH. He was from Oxford Twp, Guernsey Co., OH (16th Dist), although one Muster Roll says Oxford Twp, Belmont (16th) Dist. Unfortunately, I have no info as to exact troops movements and/or battles with the following exceptions taken from his Application for Pension: (1) Pvt.Robinson was honorably discharged at "Charlott", and (2) "That on the move from Tenn.to South Carolina on or about June 20, 1864" [sic., s/b 1865], he had his feet frozen due to exposure...." I would like to know a lot more about the 174th OVI should you have any info on such unit. My online research has turned up almost nothing. Carolyn

I found the following O'TOOLE birth records at the Belmont County Courthouse last week. They are the sister and brothers of my great-grandmother, Margaret O'TOOLE. I'm interested in finding out if there are any other siblings and contacting any of their descendants. I understand that some of them may have stayed in Belmont and some moved to Columbus, OH.

Does anyone know if filmed copies of the Belmont Enterprise are available, and if they are, where? I was thinking that the Library in Barnesville might have them....Then, what I'd REALLY like to know is if they have any for the period right after Nov. 5, 1859, when my ancestor, Araminta Smith (maiden name Reed, I think) died. Sandra
Martha: would appreciate any info. on the Lewis family's in Bellaire. Thanks again. Ken
No Doris Wrong Ken, but am interested in Julia, Thanks for reply
