I am wanting to know the location of the Perkins Family Cemetery in Belmont County. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Randy Lashley

As a bit of background, when a Quaker moved to another area they were not, automatically accepted into another monthly meeting....they had to bring with them a certificate from the meeting they belonged (rocf), that was sort of a letter that said they were a member in good standing.

Hi I have just found this on Ancestry.com about the Nottingham Quakers in Cecil County, Maryland, and wonder if someone who is conversant with Quaker abbreviations and the dating system they used can translate it for me. "Comment: rocf Plaistow MM, in Old England, 15-6-1747, dtd 10-1mo (Mar) 1746/7, recommending him as brought up in the Truth; he was apptd Overseer for Deer Creek Mtg, 20-6-1748; he was gct "to Friends in London, England", 21-10-1752, he intending a sojourn there; he was rocf Davonshire MM, Essex, England, 16-6-1753, dtd 4-4-1753. He was apptd Elder 17-7-1756." I can tell that he arrived in Maryland in 1746/47 from a place known as Plaistow. Then he apparently returned to England, I guess in 1752. While there he apparently became associated with the Davonshire Quakers, from which he returned to the Deer Creek, Harford County, Maryland Quakers in 1753. Given that I don't know the abbreviations (I can guess at a few) I would really be grateful for a translation of them and an explanation of the dating system. Perhaps even better would be the addition of a URL for a site that would explain them all to me. Thanks in advance Bill Dalton

Since the GGmother may have been born to non-married parents, she may have had her mother's surname of Puffenbarger or she may have had her father's surname of Oates. But searching for her father as a Puffenbarger is unlikely to find the correct family. I have an extended family situation in the late 1800's that sounds similar (different names and different states) in which the births were not recorded. In that situation the young woman became pregnant (obviously) but the families wouldn't let the couple marry because one was Catholic and the other wasn't (per a direct descendant). I do know that when the Catholic married it was to a Catholic, and the Protestant married a Protestant. I found that the child used his mother's surname when young, but took his step-father's surname when the mother married (he was never formally adopted by his step-father). It took a marriage announcement in a newspaper online to find the mother (and son) when she married. It is a long shot, but another resource you might want to check. --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]

I don't believe it was required to register births till the early 1900s, so there would be no guarantee that it would actually be recorded anywhere...and, no guarantee, either, that the father was named Puffenbarger...the child might well have been illegitimate (and, unfortunately, too young to have appeared in the 1870 census in any household) .

Sandra, I have used about every spelling I could think of for Puffenbarger. My husband has a great grandmother who was adopted and in her marriage application in the 1890s said her parents were Benjamin Oates and Elizabeth Puffenbarger and she was born in Lewis Co., WV. That is a lost cause for searching as their adoption records are closed forever and even though there were a lot of Puffenbargers in Pendleton Co., VA and they have their own web page they know nothing of Sarah Elizabeth Puffenbarger. I think she might have been born on the other side of the blanket as one man told me once about himself. She was adopted in WV and moved to western Kansas. Her children knew very little about their mother's past. Thanks for answering. Jerilyn ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

> Sandra, I have used about every spelling I could think of for > Puffenbarger. -------------------- Here's a tip for beginners: If you haven't tried this, go to the message boards and Browse the Ps for variant spellings -- I was flabbergasted to find about 25 spellings for my Schwertfeger, and every one of them had a separate board -- aaaggh$#@. Ancestry said they would consolidate them, but they never did. Also, go to www.familysearch.org if you haven't tried that, put just the surname in, and see what comes up. Make sure you don't have "exact spelling" checked. Nancy

The Ohio River has frozen over a few of times in the past thirty years in the area between Ravenswood WV and Meigs County OH. On at least two occasions it has frozen solidly enough to stop barge traffic. Kaiser Aluminum, now Century Aluminum, had to have bauxite ore shipped in by rail car to prevent shutting down as the Reduction Plant. In the early 1930s and after the locks was built at Ravenswood, my father says that he drove a Model T from Ravenswood to Meigs County and back across the frozen river. I have seen photos of other old cars on the river ice but my father did not have a photo of his experience. Les Shockey

Yes, the 1936 flood was the worst recorded.... 55.5 ft. The one page flood edition of the Wheeling News-Register says 'Wheeling Is Isolated'....and has various first person accounts of the flood....the New Years Eve flood, was the next highest, with the water at 51.5 ft. My mother and her parents lived on 'the Island' for the 1936 flood, and after that my grandmother said "no more", and they built a house 'out the Pike', far away from the threat of flooding! Sandra " Several folks have referred to the terrible flood of 1936, and I had ancestors in Belmont Co. who passed on stories of that disaster. For those who lived in the Ohio Valley (some of my relatives lived in Cabell Co, WV and Lawrence Co., OH), it was the flood of 1937 that was so devastating. The Ohio River has some history, that's for sure!"

Jae, I don't know about the Belmont Co. website, but you can submit transcriptions of wills and all sorts of other original items to OHFootsteps. It's listed on the same list of rootsweb mailing lists as all the county lists. It's a really nice way for folks with interests all over Ohio to see stuff. Joanne Gaudio

Pike Island ( around Yorkville,Ohio was built in the 60's maybe and the Hannibal dam was built in the 70's I remember when the Pike Island wasn't there. and the Hannibal dam wasn't completed yet when I graduated from River High school in 72 but they were working on it. My aunt lived in Warrenton and I remember when they tore up the road to make for the back waters. Not a direct date of completion but gives you an idea. Warrenton was at one time bigger than Rayland but floods destroyed the town over the years the flood of '36 finally did it in. My son and I have been looking for a view of Warrenton when it was in its heyday but we still haven't found it. Found Tiltonsville and Rayland pictures.

Be sure to check for the spelling Poffenbarger, which, in my own experience, is the more common spelling. I looked in THE CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF BELMONT CO, and find that the first house built in the village of Jacobsburg, ca 1815, was thought to be that of Joseph Puffenberger. Sandra " In March 1845 Samuel Puffenbarger married Mary Brewer in Belmont Co., Ohio. Then in 1851 Joseph Puffenbarger married Sarah Ann Davis. I cannot find any Puffenbargers in 1830, 1840 or 1850 census. Does anyone have any information on these people? There aren't that many Puffenbargers and very few in Ohio. Most are from Pendleton Co., Virginia. "
