I live in California and I would be ever so grateful for an obit on a John R. Stewart b- Sept 21, 1891 in Pultney, Belmont, Ohio and died April 1980 Bellaire, Belmont, Ohio.

Without your saying what area of WV you're interested in, it's impossible to figure out where the naturalization records WOULD be...it's not as if there is a giant book somewhere, with them all included (oh, that there were!!!) I DO know that the naturalization records and declarations of intent of the northern division of WV, are on film at the LDS....have you looked at those?...(they include the records that are/were in Morgantown.) Sandra " How the heck do you get naturalization info for WV? My relatives started out over there and I can't get Morgantown to give me an answer! nor does anyone on the WV list respond."

This is a bit off topic since it is across the river in Wheeling, but I hope you will forgive this and someone will know. How the heck do you get naturalization info for WV? My relatives started out over there and I can't get Morgantown to give me an answer! nor does anyone on the WV list respond. Nancy

Martha, It has been my experience that records varied, depending on the court used. For instance, I went to one Texas county courthouse that held records for both the county and district levels. At the County level, the Declarations of Intention were brief, mentioning only applicant's name and country of origin. However, at the District level, the DOI gave name, age, occupation, personal description, birth date and location, last foreign address, departure port, ship, arrival port, arrival date, and current residence. The naturalization documents themselves only gave name, country of origin, and date of naturalization. However, the petition for naturalization gave name, occupation, birth date and location, immigration date, ship, port of arrival, and family status. Note, however, that the petition for naturalization was not always available. The main thing was to search for and review all possible naturalization records. The declaration of intention was filed with the courthouse first. Generally, after about five years or so, the person was able to petition for naturalization. If the petition was accepted, the person was then naturalized. The naturalization document was sometimes recorded in a separate book and sometimes recorded in the minutes.

I have my g grandfather's ( a copy that is) naturalization papers, but would like to know if the declaration of intention are available anyplace. I just saw an example in a quarterly from a genealogy society in Illinois, and it gives great info...ship arrived on, place sailed from, port entered, etc. The date of the naturalization is 1904. Name of ancestor is Matthew Johnson , from England. Martha

There is a grave that is stated in Tombstone Inscriptions and Family records of Belmont County, Ohio by Esther Weygandt Powell. The name and dates on the grave are Esther Magill (1746-1834). Powell wrote that it was the first burial in the Centerville Cemetery, Belmont County . There was a new stone set in its place at the time Powell published her book.(1969) I was wondering if anyone is related to this lady or if they have any infomation about her and who are the people who are buried next to her? I am trying to see if there is a connection to My gggg grandmother Catherine McGill/Magill (1782-1862) who married Miles Hart (1779-1852). They had moved to Belmont County Area about 1810 from Greene Co, Pennsylvania. They raised their family in Belmont county and are both buried in the Centerville Cemetery. (Are they buried close by her?) LaStar Richins Utah

if you do a google.com and use "campgrounds" +belmont county ohio as your subject, you'll find several lists. I looked at early tax records and find 3 different Sinclairs in 1806 - William, George, and James. In 1810, the following with their township of residence; George Richland twp James " James Washington Wm Richland The names of children are included few places, really.....wills (which you've explored?), newspaper obituaries also spring to mind. If you have wills then you have death dates, so see about a death certificate (possibly a child gave the info, and their name will be included)...the gen. library in the St. Clairsville Library, across the street from the courthouse, has many old newspapers on film...and, with some death dates to work with, read the local newspaper. (I'm sure you know, though, that in earlier times obits were not free, but paid for by the family, and many folks chose not to incur an extra expense, so lots left no obits...but, if they did, they are often a wealth of family info.) Guardian records are in Probate court records (at the courthouse), but you'll need dates to look for them....I'm pretty sure there isn't a name index to use....Forget school records, I'm afraid. That leaves church records, and those are a hit or miss proposal at best. But, if you know their religious preference, I'm sure you'll find books of church records at the library. ` I checked in the CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF BELMONT COUNTY, but found nothing of any help. The court house records don't contain any info on a marriage between Thomas and Margaret.....or a William Sinclair and Elizabeth.

Hi, I am going to be in Belmont, Ohio in about a month and would like some guidance in my research. I am looking for the Thomas Sinclair and Margaret Duncan family. They were married in 1823 in Belmont Co., and are in the 1830 US Census for St. Clairsville, Belmont Co., with 4 children. Thomas died in 1837 and I found Margaret Sinclair alone in the 1840 US Census for Town of Jacoburgh, Smith Twp., Belmont Co. I found a Thomas Sinclair buried in St. Clairsville Cem. I have some probates records of Thomas which gives Margaret and children, but no names of children. I could not find Margaret after that. I have an Elizabeth Ann Sinclair born Nov. 26, 1826, that married Samuel Francis in 1846 in Muskingum Co., Ohio. They are my G-Grandparents. I am sure that Thomas and Margaret Sinclair are her parents, but need proof. I think that Thomas Sinclair parents was William and Elizabeth Sinclair, but no proof. What I need is where can I search in Belmont Co., to find the names of their children, and more information on the family. Are there any school records, adaption or guardianship records that I might have the children names and where would they be? I also need to know where there is a camp grounds in Belmont Co., to park a trailer for a few days? I will thank you for any information that you can give me. Richard Swank in So., California
