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. Thanks.

A wonderful place to submit your photos and records is the usgenweb archives....each county in each state has a section devoted to it. This site will allow you to select first the state, then the county, and see what others have submitted. (all counties are different, some much better than others, but all probably have something of interest )http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ this is the section for Ohio http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/oh/ohfiles.htm

Sandra, Was it your grandfather named Brown? Jan ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

In Oct 2003 I received a letter from my mother's brother. We had no communication with him for years but he wrote me when my mother passed on and we had correspondence for a few months before he passed on at the age of 95 (and up until the end he was still playing golf). This was in one of the letters he sent me: When I was three Years old Mother [Carrie Virginia Zane Piper] took me to Wheeling for a visit, My brother wasn't born and we went through the 1913 flood. I can remember Uncle Earl [Earl H.Zane]. He was one of the Rough Riders in the war in Cuba and ran a florist shop next door. He rowed a boat to the third floor with water and food. The river did not reach the third floor. When the river went down and the street was cleared, the family tennis court across the street was lower than the street level and full of water with a lot of fish trapped in it. They took the tennis net and salvaged the fish. They loaded them in barrels and took them up to the bridge to Wheeling and the people came across and used them for food.

I'm afraid I have been misunderstood.....I, of course, never meant to intimate the dams, locks, etc north of Wheeling did not alter the river, for of course they do change the ebb and flow. However, the original question was for photographs to show the river before these upstream changes, inferring that the river somehow looked 'different' before their construction. However, allowing for the differences in floods and very low water, the river is recognizable as it was, at least in the 1870 and 1880s. My great grandfather was an avid amateur photographer and I have many early photos of the river....in Wheeling, from Bellaire, Clarington, Hannibal, Middleport, and Pomeroy....and, if one stands close to the place where the photos were taken, the river looks pretty much the same. THAT's what I meant by saying the topography is unchanged and the river is still very much as it was, at least close to 140 years ago. Sandra

I used to love hearing my great aunt tell about the Ohio River before the dams. She waded it once and stepped in a bucket and thought an alligator had gotten her. She then ran a boarding house for the men when they built the dams. She lived in New Matamoras and there wasn't enough rooms. So the men would rent her rooms for 12 hours. One man slept and she changed sheets and the next man slept. She also packed lunches for them and fed them their meals.

Lynn, Very interesting! Tell me about what year your aunt was born, I want to share this with some relatives who lived in N. Matamoras, see if they remember hearing talk of it. Nancy . She lived in New Matamoras and there wasn't enough rooms.

Sue Edwards writes of the Hudson River freezing over in years past. One has to consider that in the 1850's and earlier, the world was still in the tail end of the "little ice age" that was then ending. There are stories in history of a winter carnival held on the ice of the Themes River in London during the early 1800's, of people ice skating on the ice in New York Harbor during the 1850's. So, one would expect that the Ohio would have frozen over in the years of the mid 1800's and earlier. Bill Dalton.

Could you take digital pictures and post them? Welch - Do you have ancestors from Belmont County, that came from PA about 1810? My maiden name is Welsh.....my ggg-grandfather James Welch/Welsh followed a younger brother to Belmont County, Ohio. The brother was Crawford Welch/Welsh - they were probably born in York County, PA. James moved to Ohio from Dauphin County,PA. Any connection?

I haven't been following this conversation real close but would like to say that my Grandad, Robert Welch, was born in Steubenville-1894, I have a journal with pictures and documentation of a canoe trip he and a friend, Harry Strong, took the summer of 1914 from Steubenville to the Little Kanawha River in WVa. They then created a camp along the Little Kanawha which they later took a number of kids from the Steubenville YMCA. My Grandad, was at that time, the physical director there. I am not willing to take this book apart but if anyone has a good idea how to copy it so it's clear, I would be willing to post the photos. It shows some dams and notes other things along the river. It's fairly interesting. He has an account of all their costs, etc. My ggrandfather also swam the Ohio at Steubenville regularly in the early 1900's over to the Half-Moon Farm.

Can anyone tell me about the Brown Collection of Photo's. I am descended from the Browns in this area and would like to know about the photographer. Janice Brown O'Brien ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Not to belabor the point, but on any given day the river basin now fills to many times the volume of water on a typical day before locks, dams and dredging, flood walls and levee reinforcements. The consequence has been the drowning of virtually all meanders and switchhbacks and all near stream flood plains, sand bars and a significant volume of the island intrusions into the river. The river no longer runs around the islands, particularly during low volume flow. Many islands and sand bars, now drowned or removed, would have been approachable by dry land during low volume flow. The unobstructed portions of the Platte River would be a comparison. However, this picture would have been highly variable at different locations on the upper and lower portions of the river. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra Ferguson" <ferg@ntelos.net> To: <OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 4:36 AM Subject: [OHBELMON] The Brown Collection > The Brown Collection is a great bunch of photos, with many including shots > of the Ohio River at Wheeling...you might try those.

My grandmother was born in 1886 in Belmont County. She told me stories of ice skating on the river and walking across the river. I have lived in this area all of my life and I can assure you that I have never been able to work across the river. I can assure you that the river and streams have changed in this area. If you read the early accounts of the Indian and early settlers, it will confirm the river has changed over the years and aiding in those changes were the DAMS....

The general bed of the Ohio River has remained consistent. Over the years several dams have been built, not to mention other construction along its banks - these have impacted the depth and current of the river. I believe that dredging may have also played a role in any changes. At one time there were quite a few islands in the river between Belmont county and Cincinnati..... with the dams, all but a few of these are now underwater. The dams have helped to regulate the flow of the river, diminshing the extremes of our ancestors. Shallower water and slower water will freeze quicker than deeper, quicker moving water. Also today, with industries located along the banks, the temperature of the river is probably several degrees warmer. I currently live a few miles west of the Hudson River, about 60 miles north of NYC..- it is quite deep here, and depending on the tide - the water is salty. Even so, there are stories here of years ago the river freezing over and people walking across.
