Is anyone researching the Grier family? Is there anything about the Grier family in the Belmont Co. history? Dorrie in Lexington, MA

Hello, Hoping someone would have access to a newspaper in Belmont County, Ohio for the date of Feb 5, 1936. I am looking for an obit for Charles A. EDDY who died on this date. He is buried in Rockhill Cemetery in Belmont County. I sure would appreciate any help on finding an obit as I cannot find a death certificate at all and hoping it was announced in the local paper. Thanks much Cindy

Guernsey Co. OH or Columbus where they have the state-wide deaths.

Jae, Re: Maria Copeland living with a founder of the Methodist church. Exactly what Methodist church was that?? My Davey & Harris ancestors also helped start the Baileys Mills Methodist church. It sits by the side of the road, is brick & has beautiful stained glass windows. I had the privilege of visiting it a few years ago. I also have a picture taken outside the church about 1900. I would love to have some of those folks identified. Is this the church you are talking about??

Thank you Jae, I will see if this fits into my tree.

That's all I have and I'm just guessing that Sarah's husband Enoch Berry must have been related to my Berry line since my ancestor fostered their daughter, Maria Jane.

Unfortunately there is no one place for all Quaker records.....HINSHAW'S QUAKER ENCYCLOPEDIA, has many Ohio meeting records, but, for instance, NONE for Chester Co, PA....so, where you look depends on what you're looking for. I have Hinshaw on CD, so would be glad to look folks up for you, providing you give me both given and surname, and some sort of a date. Sandra "What is your preferred site for Quaker records?"

For those researching the name Copeland, I looked in the Ohio Quaker records and see that "Sarah Ann Berry (form. Couplin)"...so, that's one to keep in mind....this was from the Somerset mm, in Belmont Co

To add to this thread, several people in my family have their nickname on the death certificate. For example, my grandfather was called Jack his whole life. His real name was Harley Edward. Both his death cert and tombstone say Jack. It can complicate things if future generations dont have that info to follow.

I think death records are more likely to be wrong that marriage records. The info on the death records was often times given by an in-law or a bereaved family member who either wasn't real familiar with the deceased's family or too grief stricken to think straight. Marriage record info, on the other hand, was given by the young couple themselves....more likely to be accurate, in my opinion.

Folks- If the death occurred in Cambridge, the death cert would be issued by GUERNSEY County, no? http://www.guernseycounty.org/Elected/recorder.htm Dick Kinkead Lantana, FL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra Ferguson" <ferg@ntelos.net> To: <ohbelmon@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 9:25 AM Subject: Re: [OHBELMON] death certificate > After 9-11, many states changed who could get a copy of the certificates > of > various records...those of people who could still be alive.....and, there > is > no standardization of 'modern' record requirements.

Hi Richard...I've seen your postings from time to time and may even have contacted you. Jane McCormack married a Willis (John) and I have some info on her but nothing on John Willis. I have done little independent research on the Fowlers and McCormicks and what I have was generated by Jackie Hunger and another gal a decade ago. It is pretty muddeled. Anything you have on John Willis would be appreciated. If you want anything on Jane McCormick Fowler and onto my Nancy Fowler and connections to the Ambrose family of Morristown, OH I' be happy to povide.
