I was able to get the image. In 1910, ED#19 was all of Sterling Township. However the name listed is Nancy A. JONES listed as head of household, widowed, married 19 years, 6 children, 5 living, born in Ohio, both parents also born in Ohio, occupation-none. Visit #37 listed as the Joseph G. MOORHEAD family and visit #39 is the John W. MUDGE. Hope this helps.

I have the 1880 Federal Census on 56 CDs if you want me to look something up, but I simply do not have the time to do it very regularly. Same reason I don't administer this list any more :~) If someone needs a specific look up done, I will do it if time allows at the time, but "send me all you can find on. . . . " requests will be ignored. You might want to post them to the list, too, so long as they are related to Brown County, then if I don't have time to do it maybe someone else will. David E.

My husband also decends through this line of Curtis Babbs if you would like to contact me. Linda

Maybe 25 years ago,I drove thru,or around the edge of the 'Indian Run Hunting Preserve",and saw similar Land along RT 50 east of Fayetteville. I guessed at the time that that area was harder to drain than others. I don't know that for fact. If I'm right, malarial type agues were common. Pasture would have dome better than crops,on wet years like we are having this year. We have here different subsoils. If the area was swamp a long time, the subsoil is grey,and little water drains downward. Surface drainage is the option, but it requires some differeewnces in elevation. Indian Run would be the drainage. School no 13,and school no 4 are were on Indian Run ,1876. J Thompson was 1\2 mile from No 4. Chasetown had no 3. I suppose it had some neighborhood name like "Indian Run school" .1 room My grandmother was born in 1859,and started teaching in a 1 room school in 1873. And she was considered better educated than most from several years in New Richmond schools. A steam saw mill is the only industry in that quarter. My atlas shows no cemetary in that quarter. If they buried there,it was on high ground near Indian Run. 10 feet would be high ground. I guess it's Dodson creek over the line in Highland Co. There was a man in n e Clermont farming flat farms,that was sucessful growing and hauling 30 miles,hay for Cincinnati's horses. My great,great grandfather hauled hay,and fruit,from this farm,to Cincinnati.27 miles. 1846.

I am not preparing to write about every township. Pike is wide,east to west,and narrow,north to south.US RT 68 and Ohio Rt 774 meet near 200 acre Grant Lake [and Lake Manor resturant] in eastern Pike. From Grant Lake east to White Oak Creek,and the very nw corner were the 1st settlements,on rolling ground,in what would become Pike township.There has never been a village,but several hamlets of general store-p.o.-blacksmith shop.Today,modern houses covers much of the township. New Harmony,in the nw corner,may be the largest church-cemetary. The "Moyer 'cemetary behind Meeker's "Locust Ridge Nursing Home'-the largest business, may have been an 1800 Baptist churchyard at Jasper Shotwell Sr's til 1816. I don't know the size of Brown's Chapel cemetary in the s e corner east of RT 68. Tiny Earhart's near the hamlet of Locust Ridge and Brooks cemetary. Mrs Margaret Burbage retired as a Hamersville elementary teacher,and lost her husband,and got bitten by this genealogy bug. She,and Dorothy Helton, took turns for yearsrunning the Brown Co Genealogy Library in Ye Old StoneJail in Georgetown,Oh. She made important additions to my own library,so I'm guessing she made many more to the library where she spent a couple afternoons a week. Hand written or typed groups of family group sheets bound together-not publications. Xeroxed journals,etc. S W Pike-N W Clark TOWNSHIP interested Margaret most. Bob Brown wrote a book of very s e Pike township's Vincent Brown's. My own Iden's,Stone's,and grandfather Fagley's were just west of s e Pike twnsp,in Tate twnsp,Clermont,and the FAGLEY Road street sign points the way to their farms. The Tate township cemetary in Bethel,and Warner cemetary on RT 774,IN N Clark TOWNSHIP have burials of Pike township people. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Hermon: Thank you so much for the information on Perry Township! What can you tell us about Indian Run, the area where the Thompson and Hemm families lived in the 1830s?, 1840s, 1850s or so. I visited there a few years ago, and it was a beautiful hunting preserve. What crops would the settlers there have grown? Would they have gotten their water from the tiny creek that flows through it? Where would they have been buried in the 1840s and 1850s? on the homesites? Were there schools there in those days? Thank you for all the help you have given people on this list. Liisa Mellin Penner

Perry township is Brown Co's largest,and most northern,and most settled by Catholic immigrants. Before Interstate highways, US highways were our most important,and Perry township has,in the village of Fayetteville, the inter- section of 2. US RT 68 and US RT 50. The latter replaced an 1806 road between Cincinnati and the Ohio state capital then at Chillacothe-the Anderson State Rd. The latter is yet the name of the county road n e of Fayetteville to the Catholic center at St. Martin's,and it's tiny,today, Chatfield College. The northern line is north of St Martin's 2-3 miles at my friends,the Adae's "A +M Fruit farm. The s w corner of Perry township,1814, was at [my wife's] Samuel Ashton's "old place". or,roughly where Ohio Rt 286 crosses the East Fork of the Miami River. The latter stream provides well drained soils amid the too flat lands that were white oak swamps. Roughly,the East Fork runs from the s w corner to the n e corner via Fayetteville. Formed in 1814 as a Clermont Co township,Perry township fell into Brown Co in 1818. 1st settlement seems in the 1811-20 era,and in the unevan lands along the East Fork, and then later in the 1820's and 1830's the swamps were drained by Europeans sometimes exeperienced in Europe with Low Land FARMING. Today,huge combines harvest soybeans on the flatter lands. Cincinnati Catholic Bishop Purcell had something to do with the several Catholic buildings built in-near Fayetteville and St Martins. That's another tale. Let's say that the area from Stonelick Creek west of Owensville, east thru Marathon,Vera Cuse,Fayetteville,to St Martins along US RT 50, became,in part, a rural settlement of Cincinnati's Catholic immigrants. Ripley,on the Ohio River,and mid Brown Co's German settlement of the 1830's at Arnheim,also had Catholic churches,but I count 5 from Stonelick to St Martin's. Besides their churchyards, there was on RT 50,east of Marathon, a Methodist cemetary named for Samuel Cranmer. It dates from about 1820,or too late for the grave of Samuel Ashton's 1st wife, Hannah Johnson,once of Tom's River,NJ shore. There is a big,and current ,cemetary west of FIVE MIle,on RT 286,of the Church of Christ,and just sw,but out of the township, BloomRose current cemetary. The nw corner of Perry may have buried at West Woodville cemetary,in Clermont. There is a big cemetary just east of Perry township, at the Anderson State Rd,and the highway from Dodsonville to Lynchburg.[Highland Co]. I've isted a Holden family cemetary sw of Fayetteville,on the north side of the East Fork,and a Fritz cemetary ne of Fayetteville. Northern Perry may have buried just north,in Clinton Co,at Midland and Westboro n RT 68. They had the closest RR. Some portion of n w Perry township has to be in Blanchester,Clinton Co schools. Indeed,my very own uncle,Savyl Brown,who farmed in n w Perry township,was buried in Blanchester,Clinton Co ,cemetary. There is a Quaker church just north of Perry township,so there may be a Quaker cemetary. Wilmington College,to the north, is a Quaker college. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Liisa, I have Herbert's name as Hubert.

Eagle is the north east township of modern Brown Co. Rts 32 and 62 intersect, and it has a college. It was in Adams Co,Oh til 1818,and today, Winchester,in Adams Co,is to the east, and the former Highland Co seat of New Market is to it's north. You have a Spencer Burris likely named for Spencer Records. There is a great Records family journal of 1760-1820 on-line. [It even mentions Peter Mallott and cart behired to move the Records from near HaGERSTOWN,Md across the mountians near Uniontown,Pa in 1766,or when the only road was that left by General Braddock's 1755 ARMY vs the French and Indians near Pittsburg,Pa.

Hi, I'm descended from Jacob Joseph Louiso, who was the brother of Herbert. Jacob Joseph married Mary Holden, who was the daughter of Richard Holden and Agnes Bamber Holden. And that is the way I'm related to the Bambers. Jacob Joseph and Herbert were the sons of Jacob Louiso and Catherine Bigonville Louiso. Are we cousins? Mary in Georgia, USA [email protected] Our Family Kudzu Vine http://community.webtv.net/granmary/family

Hi Mary: I'm descended from the Hubers of Perry Township, Brown County. One of the Hubers married Herbert Louiso but I'm not descended from them. I'm not related to the Bambers. Mary Remler, however, is descended from the Bambers and the Hubers. She has a huge store of information on both lines. Liisa
