I may be thinking of a later year though. I don't exactly remember since I copied these maps about 2-3 years ago at the Smith Library in Oxford. -- Dennis M.

Is anyone looking for a summer project??? It would be interesting to have a list of names from each of the three 1836 township maps with the section number included. For example, the first name in the upper left hand for Hanover township is George Layton in section 18, so an entry for him (and a few neighbors) could read: LAYTON, George - section 18 LINTNER, Samuel - section 17 SORTMAN, Daniel - section 18 WILSON, John - section 18 etc. Just a thought...

Hey Nancy and Pegeen, I was just looking over some old stuff on the George family with Isaac Skiles and Jane George. I have found something for you to add and also maybe some answers. The information on the George site about John Wilson must be the son and brother to Isaac Skiles. John Skiles SR. died between the making of his will on 9 Jan 1827 and the proving thereof in September 1828. So with respect to this record: 1825-35: Common Pleas Record for Butler County Misc 3:368 shows John Skiles lodging a complaint of assault against Reuben George and Joshua Foster. No one appeared and no order was made. (Isaac Skiles was Reuben's brother-in-law) Not knowing the exact date, we don't know which John this actually was. Considering no one appeared.... it could be because John Sr. had died. However, it is also mentioned..... , that the Morgan twp, Butler Co OH will of John Skiles who died about 1830-31 mentioned cash paid to Joshua George. Pegeen stated that John Skiles was the father of Ella Skiles, who married James Linn. Could John Skiles be Jane George's father-in-law? I have a transcript of John Sr.'s will and there is no Joshua George mentioned so it must be JR's will. In 1830/31 John Jr. would have been 35 years old. I have yet to find his wife's name. The children it is believed go in this order. Rachel Skiles m. 12 Sept 1807 Warren Ohio to William Draper who is named in the Will of her father. Rebecca Skiles m. 1806 Butler Co. to James Kennedy also mentioned in the Will of father. Elley Skiles - did not have James Linn as husband, where do we see that? John Skiles Jr. b. 1796 mentioned as eldest son.. m. Elizabeth Ann unknown. Isaac Skiles b. 29 Sept 1800 m. 22 Dec. 1825 Butler Co. to Jane George. I show 8 children - (Reuben, Mary Catherine, Elizabeth Ann, Fanny Jane, Enoch George, Sarah Ellen, Amanda Malvanea, and Martha Anetta b. 1842 who married Joseph Kelly) George Hill Skiles b. 1809 PA m. 1826 to Catharine unknown. This is my line. (I believe I have found the Skiles family in Lancaster Co. PA in Leacock Twp.) SKILES, ALEXANDER. Leacock Twp. April 5, 1779. SKILES, HENRY. Leacock Twp. February 4, 1779. SKILES, JOHN. Leacock Twp. June 17, 1767. SKYLES, HENRY. Leacock Twp. June 14, 1749 [sic]. SKYLES, HENRY. Leacock Twp. February 10, 1749. SKYLES, HENRY. Leacock Twp. June 1, 1750. Just haven't investigated further.

Well first of all I can't seem to figure this map out. If I click on #9 it says Wayne twp or something. Yes Isaac is mine but he is not buried there. It would be his father John Skiles or Skyles that died in 1827. Well Isaac is my uncle. He died in 1862 IN. John Skiles had the following Rachel - m. William Draper married 1807 Warren OH. Rebecca - m. James Kennedy m 1806 Butler Co. OH. Elley - m. maybe an Armstrong John Jr. Isaac - m.

Janeen, Since you are on Ohio resident you can go to www.oplin.org which is the Ohio Public Library site, and there is a list of libraries that participate in this so that you can access Heritage Quest from home. My local library here in Hamilton participates in this so I can use my regular library card and still use Heritage Quest.

I don't remember. But I'm not out of state. I live in Akron. But I had applied for it on line, they said they sent it to me but it was returned for some reason don't think they would tell me why. They said they would not send it out again for security reasons and that I would have to go there and show my I.D. Like I'm going to drive to Columbus for a library card. Geez, what security breach could there be by sending it back out to me. I could have faxed them my I.D. Obviously when I signed up for it on line I had to give them my email address which is why they were able to get in touch with me to tell me it was returned.
