I'm researching the Henry and Jane HARRISON line. Henry was born May 1779 in Montgomery county, New York. He moved around, first helping to settle the St Lawrence, New York area of Black Lake in 1810 before coming to the Clermont County area about 1819. The 1820 census shows them living in Franklin, Clermont co, but I also have a child born in Chilo, Clermont County in 1821. I know he was in Bracken County, Kentucky for a short time, before moving to Jennings County, Indiana and finally on to Harrison county, MO. I have 5 children listed for them, Amelia 1803, Mariah 1805, Hannibal 1816, Dewitt 1821 and Edward 1830. I know there are more children, for there are marks for children in the 1820 census, but I can't find names, etc for them. This is my brick wall, I can't find the children from this family. Does anyone know anything about this Harrison family? Or do you know of any records, from the time period, of 1820-1830, from that area? I'm just looking for something that would give me information on the children's births and/or their names. Thanks for any help April Harrison __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/

Thank you Barbara Jean for the information re: what Mortuaries will and will not give out. Since Fuldner's is one of the oldest, I guess we all know their position. They ARE NOT genealogy friendly. I have the death certificate but was wanting to know if the Mortuary had information on the person who acted as the informant. Basically if they were a relative. I have since sent for the obituary as listed in the Cincinnati paper. Maybe that will answer the question. Thanks again for all your help. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

WHY is the keyboard in such a weird order? ...Christopher Latham Sholes developed the typewriter. But he didn't do a particularly fantastic job of it. Sure, the idea was pretty neat. A series of rods--called type bars--hung in a circle, under a sheet of paper. At the end of each rod was a small piece of type corresponding to a letter of the alphabet. When you pressed a key, the appropriate bar would swing up and strike the paper. Pretty nifty. Too bad Sholes was stuck in 1860s Milwaukee and didn't quite have the tools to pull this off. His type bars had a nasty tendency to tangle. The reason: He had arranged the rods in alphabetical order and commonly used letter-pairs were too close together. So he did a bit of brainstorming and came up with the QWERTY key arrangement. By spacing the most popular letter-pairs far enough apart, jams were minimized. Over the years, other inventors devised keyboards they claimed were more efficient than QWERTY. But these never took hold because, frankly, no one could be bothered learning how to type again.

Elenor, OH is located to the east of Cincinnati, on Route 131. Look SE of Mt Repose, and north of Stonelick. It's about in the middle between those two locations.

List: Being a FD's wife, I would agree with the response. A public record, minus the financial info, is available through the FH. After all, they published most of it already!

When researching death records, remember that some cemeteries, especially Catholic cemeteries, refused to allow burials of those who were not members of the Catholic faith. Therefore, if a person is buried in a Catholic cemetery, you can assume that he was a member of the church and that you can search the church records. If a person committed suicide, or some other offense against the church, he or she was buried in "unhallowed" ground, usually outside the cemetery boundaries. If you find a grave outside the boundary, be aware of the possibilities and check the local newspapers for additional information. (Shared from TIP WORLD)

Miz Karen and All, I took action on your posting, and forwarded the basic portion of it, minus your name, to a genie friend of mine who is ALSO a Funeral Director.

Kevin, It may very well be Louisiana, Martin Luther Hesler is listed there, his wife was Athena Pearson. Some of his children are shown in Alabama. A quick check of my notes shows, I believe 3 of his children were Philip I., b. 9 Feb 1841 Christian, b. Unknown and Mary Catherine, b. 15 Aug 1839 I may have more than that some where else. Give me some time to find all my notes and maybe we can help you, a little more. Although they don't seem to be related to the other Heslers in the area, seems strange they migrated to Ohio where the others were located.

For those of you that might have missed it here is the Cemetery Links that I use. http://minder.netmind.com/go/10001/24260427/8978750/141/3 Happy Hunting, Donna ;)

> but what is "Souissianner" ?? Is that Swiss, or Louisiana (unlikely) or > something compl different? It does look like it starts with "S", but if you check the next page (16) on lines 52, 60, and 70 the names look like Sizzie, Seona, and Souisa, more likely they are Lizzie, Leona, and Louisa. Compare these to the word Son on the same pages and it appears that an "L" has extra flourishes that make it look like an "S". It is important to remember that not all immigrants came in through east coast ports. Many, including a group to this area about 1845, came through New Orleans, LA. Check the pages of the "Immigrant Ships Transcriber's Guild" at: http://istg.rootsweb.com/ especially Volume 2, Port of Arrival: New Orleans, ship: "Mayflower" in 1836, passengers 56 thru 59 and the Transcriber's Notes at the bottom of the page.

For those who pay for the ancestry.com census images as I do (and boy are the 1900, 1910 and 1920 Clermont results helpful!!) I need help badly. On the Clermont 1900 census Dist. 29, page 15 is my long lost John Hasler (Hesler, Hasler, Hessler depending on the generation) and his sister Christina Hesler Rice. Here is the problem.......I can't understand where Christina and John are from. It says their parents were from Germany or Switzerland (I'd seen where Christina Hesler Hayden, the d/o John said Swiss on the 1920 census) but what is "Souissianner" ?? Is that Swiss, or Louisiana (unlikely) or something compl different? What this does tell me is that I'm not related to the Hesler clan of Brown Co/Fountain Co. IN. , or not until much earlier in Europe. This census info is my first break on the HESLERs in over a year and I would love to know where they came from.

I have no idea if he would be related or not. My Davis family was in Neville and Moscow Ohio in the 1850 and 1860 census. There was a William Davis born 1819 and wife Mary with children James Townsend born 1845, David Davis born 1847, and Louisa Davis born in 1850, this was the 1850 census. By 1860 William had remarried a Julia Redman, and the first wife Mary and son David were gone. Then I found William, Julia and Louisa in the 1870 census of Hamilton County Ohio. I dont know if the wife and son David died or just stayed back in Moscow. 1870 is the last I have found this family. Rose

Diane, I also am grateful that even though the two that I found were in a separate area of the cemetery had been baptized.

Hello, I have a Sarah (Sallie) PLUMMER who married (1) Christian GRAY 25 Jan 1816 in Clermont Co, and (2) Benjamin SELLS also in Clermont Co. in 1842. According to Beers "The History of Brown County, etc." I found a paragraph that says "they were both members of the Mt. Zion Methodist Episcopal Church, organized at Benjamin's house in 1820, in Lewis twp, Brown Co., OH." Would someone check the index to this book and find this reference for me? I need to know if it pertains to the Benjamin who married Sarah, or if I might have copied it wrong. Can anyone tell me who this Benjamin's father was? I have 6 Benjamin's in my database. All are accounted for, with other wives, but one. The one Benjamin who has no wife is a son of Abraham, and I wonder if he could be the one who married Sarah PLUMMER? PLUMMER is my line. Thanks, Carol Wilson

I have found the death notice of Clara B. Davidson Hill who was buried in Illinois. It says she was born to Joseph Davidson in Elenor, Ohio. I looked on a couple maps and do not see an Elenor anywhere. Can someone help me? Thanks Judy Hunt

Does anyone have any Davis family connections that would have lived in Moscow in the early 1900's? There is a David S. Davis buried in the Moscow Cemetery, and his wife was Eliza Davis. He died in 1924. He is the same age as a David Davis I am trying to find info on. I am wondering if this could be the one I am looking for. His father was William Davis and mother maiden name was Haus. Thanks Rose
