Larry, When posting a query, you should always give some dates for your folks....other wise, how do we know where to look? I may have someone of the surname you research in the 18th century, but not earlier or later. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Boswell <lrb5820@earthlink.net> To: OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com <OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, July 16, 2000 11:49 PM Subject: [OHBELMON-L] Boswell/Waller > > Would appreciate any information about Benjamin Boswell and/or > Molina Amanda Waller of Belmont/Guernsey County, Ohio. > > Thanks. > >--- Larry Boswell >--- lrb5820@earthlink.net > > >

Nancy Eastwood Lewis, my G-G-Grandmother, was b. in Hamilton Co, near Cincinatti in July 1, 1811..She married John Lewis b. New York, 1801.. They were married May 29, 1825 in Belmont Co, Oh. She was given in marriage by her Step-father William Beach--Is anyone researching the BEACH line in Belmont County.?? Would appreciate any help---John Lewis in Modesto, CA

Looking for Christina Armstrong Crozier (1805 - 1836). She was married to James Crozier in Belmont County in 1825 - had 4 children - Anna, George D, Mary and Robert - and died in May 1836 in Belmont County. James & Christina lived in Mead Twp, near Businessburg, and I believe that's where she died. James remarried to a Jane Clarke about a year after Christina's death. All the children were less than 10 years old when their mother died. Anna married John Hammond, then Tommy Johnston George D married Margaret Boyd - died in 1907 in Businessburg Mary married John V Jones Robert married Sarah Simmons, then Elizabeth Fowler - died in Barnesville 1907 I have reason to believe that her parent's were George & Mary Armstrong & she may have had a younger sister, Elizabeth - I believe they also lived in Belmont County - perhaps also Mead Twp. George died between 1840 & 1850 and Mary was listed as Head of Household in the 1850 Census. If anyone has a book of tombstones inscribtions, could you please check them for either Christina Armstrong Crozier or her father, George Armstrong. I'd like to visit the graves of these two people - but have had no luck finding them yet. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Nancy Peoria, IL

Pamela, Welcome to the Belmont County, OH list. There seems to be no Kingrees listed in the 1880 or 1900 Census index for Belmont County. I think there were some in Shenandoah County, VA though. Rick Monroe

Reply to John Lewis Modesto CA. 14 July 2000 Hi John Have some info maybe you could use. In the book "Tombstone Inscriptions and Family Records of Belmont County, Ohio" By Esther Weygandt Powell, on pages 192, 194 & 201 I found the following references to the name Lewis: On page #192 under the heading of Barnesville Lincoln Street Cemetery, Lewis,John Milton 1836-1917, Rebecca Holloway 1834-1918 and Abel 1810-1886. On page #194 Lewis, Reece 1898 age 84, wife Sarah 1882- age 65. On page #201 Under the heading of Chestnut Ridge Friends Cemetery in Warren Twp, Lewis, Henry 1831 -1873 and Sarah 1828-1898. By the way, I think Businessburg is in York Twp. I'm always looking for more Info on my family: Dixons, Browns, Allens, Dunlaps, Merritts and Tarbets - all in Belmont County. Pultney Twp mostly. Hope this gives you impetus to keep on searching! Dorothy Dixon Bartlett Artbart@bartec.com

I checked on my CD of Ohio marriages 1798-1850, and there are no marriages in Belmont for anyone of that name, any spelling. I did note these other spellings in marriages of other Ohio counties...thought you might want to keep them in mind when you are researching: Kingry, Kingrie, Kingrey, Kingray and Kingra....
