Thanks so much for the information on the early papers. It was very interesting. Who can do do look ups for "The Western American?" Who sells copies of the actual microfilm? Has anyone done a birth, death, marriage index for the "The Western American?" _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

I am wondering ....if you find the Funeral home that took care of the death and you know what graveyard a person is buried in but there is no marker, who do you contact to find out the site. Great grandfather is buried in Mt. Pisgah but the grave is unmarked and grandmother would not visit his site( for personal reasons) so who knows?

http://members.tripod.com/~Crystal_J/Baker-2.html <....This estate supposedly belonged to Jacob Bakers' heirs and a vast search for his family was begun during the late 1800's. The controversy continued until the mid 1900's and is found in many of your genealogies. I felt it was past time to lay the legend to rest once and for all. A group of businessmen placed ads in many American newspapers asking Bakers everywhere to file for an estate in Philadelphia, and to claim their birthright. They requested Bakers to send in proof showing their family once resided in Pennsylvania or was "somehow" related to one Jacob Baker. This caused a flurry of letters both in the USA and to Europe asking for family members to help piece together their family history. The response was so overwhelming, the businessmen set up branch offices, including the ONTARIO BAKER HEIRS' ASSOCIATION in Canada, to handle the correspondence. The Bakers were collecting family history and many family groups hired historians to trace their family in hopes Jacob would be found on their charts. I'm sure many researchers made sure to locate Jacob on the family tree..."somehow." The possibility of being heir to millions and owning miles of prime land caused many of our otherwise level-headed Bakers to try for the brass ring. These family members numbered in the thousands and much of their life savings was spent tracing their family lineage and paying attorney fees....>

> Hi Barbara, > Seems like I read somewhere about a big fraud case about the "Springer" > family. Did he (Gustave Anjou) have anything to do with that one? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forwarded for your info. BJ Genealogical Frauds: Traps for the Imprudent By Myra Vanderpool Gormley, CG Not even genealogy is safe from fraud or from those who would take advantage of you. Everything from fabricated genealogies to estate frauds abound, and you could be a victim and don't even know it. Earlier this century about 200 fabricated genealogies were produced by Gustav Anjou, a Staten Island, N.Y. genealogist, who developed a profitable business in mail- order ancestors. More than 100 genealogies compiled by Anjou have been located. They are widely accessible and probably being used by genealogists, who are not aware that the pedigrees are false. According to Robert Charles Anderson, certified genealogist and a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists, a typical Anjou pedigree displays four recognizable (to the more experienced researcher) features: - A dazzling range of connections between dozens of immigrants (mostly to New England). - Many wild geographical leaps, outside the normal range of migration patterns. - An overwhelming number of citations to documents that actually exist, and actually include what Anjou says they include. - Here and there an "invented" document, without citation, which appears to support the many connections. Not only did Anjou falsify many genealogies, evidently he fabricated his own pedigree and credentials, according to Gordon L. Remington, Fellow of the Utah Genealogical Association and editor of "Genealogical Journal," in an article that appeared in Volume 19, the combined issues of Nos. 1 and 2 of that periodical. In the same issue also appear an excellent article by Helen Hinchliff on estate frauds and one by Anderson on the Anjou pedigrees, identifying many of them by surname. Estate frauds touched hundreds of thousands of American families, and if you uncover references to a fortune or estate that some of your relatives tried to obtain years ago, be wary. Also, you may encounter family members who will not admit that they or their parents were defrauded and who still believe there is a lost family fortune. One of the oldest cases of estate fraud is the one surrounding Anneke Jans Bogardus, a New Amsterdam woman who died in 1663 and whose farm eventually became the property of Trinity Church. It is known by such names as Bogardus, Anneke Jans Bogardus, Webber, and Wyckoff-Jans Estates, and was the object of litigation, off and on for more than 200 years. Many descendants of Anneke - the subject of approximately 400 published genealogies and articles - also erroneously believe she was the granddaughter of William the Silent, Prince of Orange. This myth continues to find its way into the genealogies of naive researchers. The bulk of estate frauds has been associated with common surnames. These scams - many of which occurred about 75 to 100 years ago - worked like this: Confidence men sought "missing heirs" by placing advertisements in the personal ads or legal notices of newspapers. Then they planted stories in newspapers about huge estates that were soon to be awarded to rightful heirs. Naturally many people responded. Then these "heirs" - at the urging of the swindlers - would form associations as estate claimants, incorporate under the laws of their state and write letters to their cousins encouraging them to join the association, and pay the membership dues and special assessments for legal fees to fight for their "estates." Newspaper wire services picked up dozens of such items about meetings of these various "heirs groups" in small towns. Eventually these stories began to appear in major newspapers such as "The New York Times." Naturally, appearance in prestigious newspapers gave credence to the stories of the estates. Among the well-known estate frauds are those for these surnames: Edwards, Edwards-Hall, Mercer, Harper, Jans, Baker, Drake, Fisher, Kohler, Springer, Hyde and Van Horn. Genealogists who accept undocumented pedigrees discovered in manuscripts, books, family group sheets, and computer databases may be guilty of perpetuating genealogical myths and errors. Check the accuracy of your pedigree by consulting primary sources. Just because something is in print or a database does not make it so. ©Los Angeles Times Syndicate

http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohclecgs/timeline.htm SAMPLE: ...1796 Population of Clermont Co. estimated at 60 men...

...The first newspaper in Clermont County appeared in 1813. Before that time the pioneers relied on surrounding newspapers from Cincinnati and Chillicothe. The Doris Wood Branch Library in Batavia has a chronological listing of all the available newspapers from 1813 to 1991. All newspapers, in existence, are either on film or on hard copy at the library. Very few are indexed.... http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohclermo/materials.htm#Newspapers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Early Newspapers of Clermont County, OH: -------------------------------- THE POLITICAL CENSOR: This was the title of the first newspaper ever published in Clermont and was a humble beginning in an avocation in which so many citizens afterwards distinguished themselves. It was printed at Williamsburg, the ancient and honorable shire- town of the county, and its first number was issued Friday, Jan 15, 1813. This pioneer sheet was published, owned and edited by Thomas S. Foote and Robert Tweed, both well known public men of the day; the former, a noted lawyer, and for many years prosecuting attorney, and the latter elected coroner. The first Censor was a dingy sheet, like all the prints of that early day, and contained a few advertisements, no local news, and some items of national and foreign news two months old. Owing to the meager settlements and the troublous times attending the war of 1812, its lease of life was only of short duration, and from the data at hand we conclude that its period of publication was less than a year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- THE WESTERN AMERICAN This newspaper was also published at Williamsburg. Its first issue bore the date Aug 5 , 1814 and its proprietors were David Morris and George Ely. The former was the editorial head and was a man of more than ordinary capacity, possessing great ability as a pungent writer; the latter is better known as the original proprietor of Batavia, and was probably the capitalist of the firm, who soon after disposed of his interest. The Western America was printed on a sheet twelve by nineteen inches, folded into four pages of four columns each, and issued every Saturday. Its terms of subscription were two dollars a year, if in advance and two dollars and a half at expiration of year. The paper lasted two years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- THE CLERMONT SENTINEL This was the first newspaper that incorporated as part of its title the name of the county in which it was issued , and to which it looked for its moral and material support. The first issue bore the date July 4,1818, and the place of publication was also Williamsburg. The publisher was Charles D. McManaman. It was published on Saturday , but how long it was issued we are unable to determine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- THE FARMER"S FRIEND This was published in Williamsburg , and its editor was William A. Camron,who removed an office to this place from Lebanon, Ohio.The Friend was begun in 1820, and was continued several years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- THE WESTERN PATRIOT This newspaper was published in Batavia, which had become the county seat, and its first issue was dated May 24 , 1824. It was printed by Z. Colby & Co., on Water Street every Saturday, at two dollars per annum in advance, or three dollars after the expiration of a year. After the paper had been published six months, and the funds to sustain it not coming in rapidly enough to lubricate the machinery, it advertised in a leaded notice to receive corn, wheat, flour, whiskey, oats, and pork in payment for subscription. In August 1826, appeared the last number of the Western Patriot, its publisher, Mr. Colby, having sold out his office, type, and printing press to David Morris. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES David Morris, who in 1814 had published the Western America, at Williamsburg, merged the Western patriot of Mr. Colby, when he purchased it and its good-will, into the Spirit of the Times, the first number of which was issued at Batavia on July 21,1826, some seven weeks before the Patriot sold out, and was of the same size at that paper. Mr. Morris held control of the paper until its publication ceased, some time in 1829,when after a short period, he became the editor of a new paper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- THE CHRONICLE OF THE TIMES This paper originated in 1829 as a political rival of the Ohio Sun. It absorbed whatever remaining interests there were of the Spirit of the Times, and for most of the time David Morris was the editorial head. The paper was printed until the year 1835, when it ceased to chronicle the events of the times under that name, but was, after a period of about a year, merged into a brand new paper. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE CLERMONT COURIER The date of the first issue was March 19, 1836 and Andrew M. Gest and R.W. Clark were the founders, using the same type, press and room which had formerly belonged to the Chronicle of the Times. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- THE CLERMONT SUN,FOUNDED AS THE OHIO SUN On the first day of July 1828, the first number of this paper was issued in the village of Bethel, and was thereafter published every Wednesday by Samuel Medary, although the enterprise was begun and for some time fostered by Thomas Morris. The paper was a folio of five columns to a page, which measured thirteen and a half by twenty one and a half inches, and up to that date was the largest paper ever printed in the county. This seemingly extraordinary size was looked upon by the wiseacres as a daring adventure, fraught with great risk and possible misfortune. But the paper has been a success from the beginning. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- THE NEW RICHMOND PRESS The first periodical was issued in the days when New Richmond was the county seat, and was called The Luminary. The publishers were four brothers, A., C., J.,and W. Herron, and the printing office was in the upper rooms of the Seneca Palmer filling mill. Its first issue bore the date July 3,1823. It appeared every Wednesday for about a year at the subscription price of two dollars per annum if paid in advance. The paper soon died from lack of patronage after the county seat was removed to Batavia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- THE PHILANTHROPIST In 1834, James G. Birney, the celebrated champion of human liberty and equal rights, began the publication of THE PHILANTHROPIST at New Richmond, in a building which stands at Walnut and Willow Streets, and continued issuing the paper there for several years. Mr. Birney came to New Richmond with his newspaper, a large and well printed four page sheet, upon the assurance of the Donaldson brothers and other well known anti-slavery men that he could there pursue his work unmolested. Although the sentiments of New Richmond frowned down any attempt to disturb Mr. Birney in his avocation, yet danger from mobs was several times apprehended. Lawless men from Kentucky and other places threatened to sack the office, and the abolitionists and personal friends of the editor of THE PHILANTROPIST rallied to defend the paper. At the signal of danger a meeting was held in the old market house of that village, which was addressed by Caleb Walker and other friends of freedom, and the most emphatic assurance given Mr. Birney that they would stand by him, though it should require the sacrifice of life and property. On one occasion the villagers were violently alarmed by the report that a boat had been chartered at Cincinnati to bring up a party of pro-slavery men whose avowed purpose was to destroy the PHILANTHROPIST. Again the people of New Richmond assembled to take measures to sustain Mr. Birney, and some counseled a report to extreme measures should the destroyers come. Happily, better counsels prevailed, and the boat did not leave Cincinnati; but all that night the friends of a free press patrolled the town in front of the PHILANTROPIST office to protect it from possible assault. Some time in the spring of 1836, Mr. Birney moved his office to Cincinnati, and on the night of July 30th, it was destroyed by a lawless and infuriated mob who scattered the type into the streets, tore down the presses, and completely destroyed the office. Afterwards the friends and supporters of this famous abolition paper subscribed and purchased a new outfit for Mr. Birney, and he resumed its publication. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ----- Original Message ----- From: <Newchase7@aol.com> To: <OHCLERMO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 3:29 PM Subject: newspapers > Could someone please tell me the name / names of the newspapers that would > carry news of Clermont Co., esp.

SAMUEL E. GLENN, my gr gr grandfather, was an early settler in Stonlick, Clermont Co., Ohio. He arrived about 1803-05. His wife was a widow, Catherine Hickson (Danbury) with 2 children, Daniel and Philip. Together they had 8 children, the first was Hariot, born 1808. My relative was the second born in 1810, Joannis, twin brother of Elias. The other children were: Catherine, John W., Elija, Edward, and Thomas. Samuel E. Glenn died in 1840 or 1841, in Stonlick, where he had been a tanner. I have found some references to him in the "History of Clermont County, Ohio" dated 1880, Tax records, and census but little else. No origin, parents, siblings, marriage, or death records. If you could help me find some answers, to these open issues, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm stumped. Thanks, Howard Glenn -- Alternate, secondary, email address is: hbglenn@mac.com

Other than local sources (I'm in Illinois), I recently discovered a project where various entities are microfilming various newspapers from across the nation. Take a look at: http://www.neh.gov/preservation/usnp.html for the libraries that are participating in the US Newspaper Project. My search this morning found 6 different newspapers over the last 150 years for a tiny little town in McLean County. The libraries may do interlibrary loan (my local one does).

http://www.interment.net/help/gather.htm ...One nice young lady wrote to me asking what cemeteries different named ancestors of hers might be buried in? (Clermont, Knox, and Hamilton Counties) My crystal-ball is too cloudy to even help ME with such problems. At best, all I can say is that's why it takes YEARS of work finding all our ancestors, and where they were 'planted' so they can be fully documented. Sometimes it is easier to get them born than it is buried. The above referenced web site offers some excellent suggestions. In part it says: ...The more you know about the decedent you are searching for, the easier it will be to locate. Most people know a lot more about a person than they think. Consider the following: Where and when the decedent died Where the decedent spent most of their life Where the decedent's family were buried Did the decedent have any family or friends? The decedent's religion Was the decedent retired from military service? The decedent's financial status Where and when the decedent died These are the most useful pieces of information in finding an interment. More people are buried or cremated within the area they died. The date of death is important for narrowing your search. Resources for finding the place and date of death include: Obituaries Social Security Death Index Death Certificate Funeral Homes Coroner's Office

"ATTENTION RESEARCHERS If you or you know of anyone researching any of the below lines, you are going to have serious problems with your lineage somewhere when you run into a brick wall you cannot scale. Not only will the below mentioned "genealogies" steer you into uncharted waters but any other genealogies who followed later and have used this material for their source. Any of your sources that trace back to anything compiled by Gustave Anjou will prove suspect." Reference the complete articles: http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/fraud/fraud.htm ...Professional genealogists and serious researchers alike, have been aware of the forgeries and frauds committed by GUSTAVE ANJOU (1863-1942). The sad fact is that Gustave Anjou was not a genealogist, but a forger of genealogical records that have been passed on for years to unwary clients and then through researchers who believed, or wanted to believe, they had a true lineage. They in turn republished the material in their own works and the cycle continues even today. Gustave Anjou produced these "genealogies" for wealthy clients at a price of around $9,000 and the client. needless to say, always received what they wanted. In the words of Mr. Anderson: " A typical Anjou pedigree displays four recognizable features: 1. A dazzling range of connections between dozens of immigrants to New England; for example, connections far beyond what may be seen in pedigrees produced by anyone else; 2. Many wild geographical leaps, outside the normal range of migration patterns; 3. An overwhelming number of citations to documents that actually exist, and actually include what Anjou says they include; and 4. Here and there an invented document, without citation, which appears to support the many connections noted under item 1 above...."

Barbara Jean, you are an absolute treasure trove of information. This list is fortunate you have you as a lister. Sandra Holloway

Does anyone know of a David Davis who was married to an Elizabeth in Moscow. Davids father was William Davis and the maiden name of his mother was Haus. David died in 1924 and is buried in the Moscow Cemetery. David was born in 1846. Rose

I have posted this before to the list, but once again I am trying to shake some bushes. I am looking for information on George Washington Hill and Clara Belle Davidson. George was born September of 1855 (approx) and Clara was born August 1862. They were married in Batavia on July 4, 1880. Clara was the daughter of a Joseph Davidson and had at least one sibling, Josephine. I am interested in any information concerning parents, George and Clara, etc.. I am sure they were there until at least 1885 when they moved to Illinois. Hope this jogs someones memory. Thanks all Judy Hunt Dallas, Texas
