I am descended from Stewart and Minerva Tonguet who were living in Belmont County, Richland Township, and were last found in the 1900 Census. Stewart was 79 and Minerva was 66. In particular, I am looking for the Date of Death and Place of Burial for Stewart Tonguet. I have quite a bit of information and would be happy to exchange information on this family. Thank you for any help.

In 1860 and 1870 Rachel Fisher, age 13, and 23 was living first with John Starbuck and then in 1870 with Ruthann Starbuck, a daughter of John Starbuck. Does anyone know who she married, who her parents were or where she went after marrying? Trying to place the rest of her family as I think she is a cousin of Ruthann and her parents were dead, but several children and she is the only one I have spotted that might be the correct Rachel Fisher out of Morgan Co., OH.

Is anyone working on the Brady families that were in Monroe and Belmont Co., Ohio from around 1830 to 1870 or later. I know there were a lot of them and many used the name Daniel. Believe all came from same bunch, but would like help sorting them out. Daniel Brewer, number 2, married a Mary Brady. Daniel sister, Christine also married a Brady. Daniel Brewer and Mary's family is starting to gel, but am in a quandary as to which Brady Christine married. Daniel and Christine were born in the late 1790s to early 1800s. I do know about the Brady page and have looked there also.

John Hosman married Sarah Jane Monroe in 1845 in Belmont Co., Ohio. Does anyone know where they went after leaving Belmont Co? I haven't been able to find them in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana or Ohio in 1870. Can't find them in eastern counties in 1850. Sarah Jane was a granddaughter of Nicholas and Sarah Monroe.

Searching for anyone who has any information the Hendricks families that lived in Center Township, Monroe Co., in 1850. Daniel a widower, age 61, William (maybe a widower) or maybe just married to a young wife. He was age 50 and she age 30. Perhaps a daughter. The other was Thomas Hendricks age 62 and his wife Rachel, age 60. I believe that I know who their wives were, but don't know which man married which sister. Henry, a son of Daniel is still in Monroe Co., in 1880 and his father (I presume), Daniel is listed as age 83 in the 1870 census. Thus probably died between 1870 and 1880. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows anything about this family.

This is from a newsletter of the Belmont Co. Chapter/OGS issue of Vol. 17, No. 1, Summer 1994. Josiah DILLON, Belmont County Pioneer The following is a verbatim transcript of an old booklet, measuring 5"x6". It is on papers of two shades of blue, hand sewn, and written in pencil. On the front it says, "Notes from Mrs. A.H. McVEY on Josiah DILLON, Jan. 21st, 1879" and on the bottom, "Leroy W. WELSH." On the first page, it says, "Josiah DILLON, Interview with Mrs. Emily McVEIGH, Jan. 21st, 1879, L. W. WELSH." Father, himself, came to Capteen in the spring of 1808. He heard of salt water, or signs of it, having been discovered near mouth of Thomas's Run. He came down to investigate this matter. He sunk a well before bringing family, which he brought to Capteen in 1809 in September. Before father moved into St. Clairsville, he had a horse-mill for grinding wheat and corn. Had thin muslin on a reel for a bolt. Did a large business. He sold this mill before he left for Capteen. Wm. FROST attended to the horse-mill. First winter father's family spent in Ohio, the chimney to cabin was not completed, and smoked very bad. Lived on cornbread, hog and hominy. Bad hominy block. Used iron- wedge in end of stick for pounding hominy. Skill with which the cooks could turn johnny cakes, couldn't make good bread or biscuits then as now. The cornbread was much better. Some people said "pone", but the more stylish said "Indian loaf." Father sold tea and coffee, and some loaf sugar, 25 cts per lb. Father entered the section near Wm. ARMSTRONG's, afterwards the Dan THOMAS property. Dan THOMAS had entered a section below mouth of Pea Vine, including the salt-well land. So father traded his section to Daniel THOMAS for the Peavine section, THOMAS taking the section near Wm. ARMSTRONG's. Father also entered and improved 160 acres on what became the drove road leading to Pipe creek, and not far from the creek. This fell into hands of James CALDWELL. A man named CALDWELL lives there now. Father bought the farm now owned by Alex CALDWELL at mouth of Crabapple- of Urias MARTIN. Father started a still-house nearly opposite the mouth of Pea Vine at the foot of the hill, near a small run. Father's house stood on bluff on right or west bank of Capteen, just above the mouth of Pea Vine. Old road to be seen there now. The storehouse was a little nearer the creek, about ten steps from the dwelling. The dwelling was a hewed log house with stone chimney - a tip-top house for those days. It had a shingled roof - this roof and another like at Powhatan being the first on the creek. It was a great curiosity, and people wondered to see a shingle roof. The house was partitioned into six rooms, 3 upstairs, and 3 below. In addition there was a large kitchen of hewed logs & shingle roof. The store building was a frame. Father started his store, I think in fall of 1815. CALDWELL helped start the store. Father went out in war of 1812 as quartermaster. He went in spring of 1813, and remained till close of war. He went into the North Western Army. He brought home a French boy, a Catholic; but the boy was away from the priests, and was unhappy until he went back to Maldin, Lower Canada, where father got him. Father told of a bullet going through rim of his hat. Don't recollect any other incidents. After the close of the war Mr. DILLON was charged with having bought more equipments and Army supplies than he was authorized to purchase and he found the surplus left upon his hands by the Government, when he came to account with the Government. He then put up these articles, consisting of Army wagons, etc., for sale at auction, and didn't get for them anything like the amount of money he had paid. And Government refused to make good the deficiency. Gen. McCARTNEY who was with DILLON's department of the Army, had personal knowledge of his transactions. McCARTNEY became U.S. Senator from Ohio, and not long after, DILLON sent his accounts to McCARTNEY, who had the matter investigated and brought to the attention of the proper authorities. Mr. DILLON was exonerated from all blame, and his loss made good by the Government. He was paid the amount of the original loss, and interest thereon up to the time of payment. This was more than thirty years, thirty odd, after the close of the war. (Slow justice!) [I am sure of the above statement. A. H. McVEIGH.] Father was elected again to Legislature while on Capteen. He was appointed associated Judge to fill vacancy caused by death of Judge BRYSON (Edward BRYSON) in the year 1824. Not reappointed, I think. Father occupied public positions for 31 years. Was justice of the Peace for 18 years. DILLON's store must have been the first on Capteen. Father carried on farming pretty extensively - was a good farmer and fruit raiser. He raised tobacco; bought and packed it. Had to haul it to Baltimore in wagons. He paid as high as $22.00 per hundred for it, on the sticks. He was not fortunate in handling it; lost heavily. Did a credit store-business trusting everybody. He gave CALDWELL the good notes when they settled account at store at home place. He then traded land at mouth of Rocky Fork for land at Dover, where the mill stands. He first built the mill; it was in the year 1823. He next built the store near by - in 1827; then the dwelling, moved down from Peavine to dwelling in spring (March) of 1828. Father never swore an oath; never chewed tobacco. Father died of a disease of the heart. He had had rheumatism; but it was not this that caused his death. At least, it was not the immediate cause. There were twelve children of us, six boys and six girls. I am the only one living. Father had three brothers and two sisters. James, Ezer and Samuel all came to Ohio. Jas. settled on Wills Creek, Guernsey Co., four miles from Fairview; he was a gun-smith. Ezer settled in Belmont town; he was a farmer. Samuel lived at DILLON's Mill a while; he was a carpenter. When he left this State he went to Ill. My brother's names were William, Ezer, Isaac, John, Josiah and James. Josiah was a lawyer, and died at Woodsfield. Wm., Ezer, & John died young. James was a farmer, lived with mother. In about 1832 CALDWELL, who held mortgages against Mr. DILLON, foreclosed them and sold Mr. DILLON's property. CALDWELL gave Mrs. DILLON $500 to sign away her rights, which she did. Then in fall of 1832, Mr. DILLON with this money bought 80 acres of Joseph STUKEY on the hill 1 1/2 miles south-west of mill, forty of James BARRETT and 40 of ---JEFFREYS---all adjoining and making a tract of 160 acres. An effort was made by a creditor named CLARK, of Wheeling Creek, to take this property from them, but he failed in the court. And Mr. DILLON and wife lived here until they died. Mrs. DILLON died Jan. 6th, 1850. Josiah died Sept. 24th 1847. Buried on creek bank just above mouth of Pea Vine. Unmarked graves. [Robert GILKERSON owned the land where the old school house used to stand; he gave the site for 100 yrs.] Father built two keelboats near the school house below RING's Mill. Run them down on the high water, and loaded them with produce at Powhatan. A man named WAY was drowned from one of these boats just above where the Steinersville bridge now is. None were there then. This was before father moved down to Dover in 1819 or 1820. These boats bartered their produce at Kanaw River for salt, and the boats were poled or pulled back with their cargos. Father went with the boats. He never went to New Orleans. Uncle Ezer DILLON used to own the WENDELL Mill, he sold it to Saml RING. HODGIN's Mill is on Long Run, about six miles up the creek from here. A. H. McVEIGH. When I came to this country, which was in 1826, May, the four mills on Capteen were the PATTON Mill, the BROWNFIELD (Reub PERKINS) Mill, RING's Mill, and the POTTS Mill [A. H. McVEIGH] Harriett DRUGAN, daughter of James DILLON lives at Bellaire. Don't know whether she has any of Mother's old books. Early preachers were Sam'l STARR, Vachel HALL both Methodists; ___ ANDERSON, Presbyterian. The Disciples Church was introduced into this part of the country by John SECREST, John CRISS, --Lucy, Jacob YOKUM, and Anna BATTON. I gave the name of Dover to Captina, from old town of that name where I used to live in Loudon Co. VA. A. H.McVEIGH. -- Bonnie Burkhardt <burkhard@flash.net> <bburkhardt@juno.com>

Last Friday I sent an email to this list, the same one I sent to my own rootsweb lists, telling you that there would be a scheduled downtime for the whole rootsweb system, starting that AM....it ended up lasting 48 hours, and things are still not functioning at 100%. Many list managers are having difficulties, now, with certain email accts, or servers, so perhaps the manager of this list is busy trying to correct things. Regardless, we hear on the rootsweb "grapevine", that these scheduled downtimes may happen again, so try to read all the emails sent you.

Listers, Just to clarify, the earliest Catholic church in Belmont Co. was St. Mary's in Barnesville, established in 1822. There were others in Steubenville and Noble Co. a few years later, about 1841. One was found in Marietta as early as 1838 but it would appear St. Mary's was the earliest in the area around Belmont Co. It was also mentioned that someone was looking for their "Irish" ancestors in the early Catholic records. Don't assume they were Catholic just because they were from Ireland. Many of them were Scotch/Irish and were Presbyterians. The earliest settlers would have been hard pressed to find any Catholic parishes. The earliest Catholics in OH were the French missionaries who left when the French did. Some of the early Catholic priests in Cincinnati would travel through Ohio serving the scattered Catholic settlers and there might have been some from the Pittsburgh area as well. Two good sites for Catholic and Irish history in OH are: http://home.att.net/~mensch-family/CatholicUS-CincinnatiOH.htm http://www.irishgenealogy.com/ireland/irish-in-america.htm Denny Shirer - drdx@neo.rr.com Shirer Family Genealogy Project http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mysong Salem Township, Muskingum County, Ohio http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mysong/salem Monroe Township, Muskingum County, Ohio < coming soon! > > From: Sandra Ferguson <ferg@intelos.net> > To: <OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2001 1:27 PM > Subject: [OHBELMON-L] Catholics in Belmont > > > Many, many marriages of this time period were not registered at the > courthouse, and it wasn't required, by law, till much later.

This is from a newsletter of the Belmont Co. Chapter/OGS issue of Vol. 17, No. 1, Summer 1994. I am going to type in part of it and if anyone hasn't seen it yet and wants the rest, let me know. It is quite lengthy. Also if anyone from the Belmont Co. Chapter has a problem with me sharing this with the list, please let me know. At least the DILLON researchers on the Monroe and Belmont Co. lists will know about it and where to find it. Josiah DILLON, Belmont County Pioneer The following is a verbatim transcript of an old booklet, measuring 5"x6". It is on papers of two shades of blue, hand sewn, and written in pencil. On the front it says, "Notes from Mrs. A.H. McVEY on Josiah DILLON, Jan. 21st, 1879" and on the bottom, "Leroy W. WELSH." On the first page, it says, "Josiah DILLON, Interview with Mrs. Emily McVEIGH, Jan. 21st, 1879, L. W. WELSH." Father was born in Loudon Co. Va., near Middleburgh, 12 miles from Leesburgh, on the 17th day of November 1765. He died Sept. 24th, 1847. His father's name was William, and his mother's Rachael. My father married Miss Dorothy COWGILL, near his home in Va., Oct. 12th, 1791. His occupation in Va. was that of house carpenter and cabinetmaker. He learned the trade before he was married. His father was a school teacher. After his marriage father moved to Middleburgh, and carried on his trade of carpenter, etc. Fought his way among the bullies. Once Mother saw him whipping a fellow in the alley and said give it to him"! He was never whipped. He and his family of wife and two children came to Wheeling in the year 1796 in the month of October. He here carried on his trade - on his own account. He removed to Ohio in the fall of 1799, and settled at west end of what is now St. Clairsville. Only one house - a cabin - in St. Clairsville at that time. Here he farmed and worked at his trade. He went a few years after coming to Ohio, to Owl creek, in Tuscarawas Co., I think, with a view of buying land and moving his family there. He bought some land - entered it, perhaps - but never moved there. The whole company, for there were several of them, got the ague, and were glad to get back. Father's horse while on the way home, got mired in a swamp. They made a track with bark, etc. for father to get out, but the horse had to be abandoned. It was never rescued, but perished in the deep mud. When they started to Owl Creek they took their camp-kettles and depended on killing game for food. Plenty to live on. When father first came to Wheeling, he arrived with family on Saturday night and could buy no food. Old Ebenezer ZANE would sell no meat on Sunday, so father crossed the river into Ohio and killed four nice wild turkeys. ZANE had reproved him for not laying in a supply of meat on Saturday. When father had killed the turkeys he dressed one and sent it to ZANE, who accepted it, and after that had nothing to say to him about violating the Sabbath. He was reproved also by some Scotch Presbyterians who insisted on keeping the Sunday strictly. Father a few years after his return from Owl Creek, began keeping store in St. Clairsville. It was now called St. Clairsville. Father and old James CALDWELL, who had moved over from Wheeling, were in partnership. They started together in the store; it was started before I was born, which was Sept. 25th, 1806. Don't know how long before. Kept dry-goods, groceries, hardware, etc. They brought goods from Baltimore and other eastern cities. They bought in ginseng, snake-root, homemade linen in large quantities. Many came from Sunfish and Woodsfield country. The produce gathered in took up a large amount of room. "Sang-noes and little sacks." Father was elected to the Legislature while yet living in St. Clairsville. I recollect he brought me a doll from Chillicothe. He was in the Ohio Constitutional Convention. Father had blue eyes, was of fair complexion, with light, darkish colored hair, not a Roman nose, but thin, and only of moderate size. He went smoothly shaven. Height six feet. He was not corpulent, or "fleshly." Would weigh over 200 lbs. stout, and capable of much endurance. Was of plain dress. His father and mother were Quakers, and also his wife. All Quakers full blood. Father would say "thee" and "thou." Was a Free Mason. Was of a cordial, friendly disposition, which made him popular. Was a man of great hospitality. He had been a Democrat, but became a Whig prior to Jackson's being a candidate for President. Became a Whig, I think, before the war. Hopefully to be continued... -- Bonnie Burkhardt <burkhard@flash.net> <bburkhardt@juno.com>

Just to clarify this. In Ohio the marriage records were SUPPOSED to be recorded from the Northwest Ordinance 1787....in Pa they didn't start requiring them until 1885 or so....

Peter; It is kind of mathematical. There are very few people that are descendent from your grandfather, only a handful, so you aren't very likely at all to find anything online. You generally will not find anything on the web until you go back 4-5 generation - then mathematically there are a lot more descendents and then their is a possibility that someone may be doing family research and have put something on the web about the family. If you find when the date he died - get a copy of the obituary from the Belmont library they often have old newspapers on microfilm. The most likely thing to find on the web is his Social Security number - SSDI which is free at www.ancestry.com or www.rootsweb.com. There is also the Ohio Historical Society has Ohio's death certificates on line. at http://www.ohiohistory.org/dindex/ If you find when he died, I have found that one of the best things for people that have died after about 1900 - depends upon the state - if you know there death year and county is to order the death certificate from the state - this will give his parents and cause of death and burial location, and maybe spouse, and usually when and where he was born.
