Hi! Noticed your bit about Antioch Cemetery - would you mind scanning for any Hamiltons or Edington's in that cemetery? I'm looking for Mary Margaret Hamilton Edington who was married to John W Edington. Mary's parents would have been Thomas & Mary Morrow Hamilton. I don't have dates, but Mary Margaret married John W Edington in 1863 - I'm thinking John W died about 1870 - perhaps in the Civil War. Thanks in advance, Nancy Peoria, IL

His wife, Mary Ann, daughter of John and Elizabeth (KNIGHT) HAMILTON, was born in Monroe Co., 29 Mar 1827, and married in Perry Township, 17 Feb 1853. Their family consisted of Lieuberta Jane, born 14 Feb 1854, died Apr 1856; Orpha Lidora, 17 Mar 1856, resides in Washington Co., OH; Margaret Ellen, 17 Jun 1858, died in 1859; Missouri Belle, 22 Aug 1860, resides in this township; Almira Jane, 21 Sep 1862, died 30 Dec 1877; Thomas Andrew, 5 Dec 1865, resides in Jackson Twp., Monroe Co.; Lucinda Elonia, 14 Feb 1871, also resides in Jackson Twp. Mr. HAYTHORNWAIT has served for twelve years as treasurer of Jackson Twp., Monroe Co., which office he now fills. Business, farming. Address, Antioch, Monroe Co., OH The compiler of the book, Ruth HOGUE, states that many of this family are buried in Unity Cemetery in Perry Twp. Also, that the name is interchangable with HATHORN and HAYTHORN. I have HATHORN and it is not derived from HAYTHORNWAIT as far as I know.
