Prove me wrong that the Fletcher's at Gerrard's Fort in very sw Pa's Greene Co just nw of Morgantown,WV, and the Fletcher's at Jonathan Gerrard's fort,e Cincinnati, and at Round Bottom, and the Fletcher's distilling near RT 50 and 222-STONELICK Creek, MID Clermont, and the namesakes of Fletcher,Miami Co,Ohio are not one family. Or that the Fltcher's buying near Neville,Clermont,were not of that family.

These three small congregations were part of the Presbytery of Winchester (Synod of Virginia). Others on the list include: David, Mary, John and John Snodgrass, Jr. A sixth name could be a James Snodgrass but the writing is difficult to read. Charles also appears as a witness to the November 20, 1771 will of a John Fletcher. The other witness was Morgan Morgan, the father of Zacquill Morgan who laid out Morgantown, WV. Although the will was written in Frederick Co., VA, it was recorded in Berkeley Co., VA/WV on June 16, 1772 after that county was formed. What is the relationship between these Snodgrasses? I am looking for the parents of Charles Snodgrass. Also a marriage record - his wife may have been a Dearborn. Charles was at Fort Pitt in 1774, in Fayette Co., PA in 1783, and in Monongalia Co., VA/WV in the late 1780s. He died there in 1808.

Hermon has asked about Adam's home in Clermont County. This is what I have found in the James B. Simmons writings: "About 1802 the Adam Simmons family moved from the Bullskin settlement to Monroe Township in Clermont County and settled near Big Bear Wallow [later called Laurel]. Adam is listed in an 1802 census. In 1804 or 1805 he bought land on the waters of Big Indian Creek and moved into the woods where he cleared the forest and built a cabin and planted an orchard. The cabin had a stairway was made of cherry wood. Over the entrance to the yard was an arch with the word "Welcome" carved in large letters. [In 1813 Adam received a government patent to this land.] Adam's grandson, James B. Simmons, wrote that the trees planted by Adam were still bearing good fruit when the Simmons family reunion was held at the old homestead on September 26, 1878. "There were three very fine varieties, one being the Maiden Blush placed on the table by Leonard Simmons, a grandson of Adam Simmons, who now owns the old homestead." [Big Indian Creek is called Indian Creek on the 1870 Monroe Township map. It drains into the Ohio at Point Pleasant, Ohio.] The legal description in the 1813 patent, which granted land to Adam Simmons and James Simmons, as tenants in common [Adam and James being assignees of a warrant originally issued to Sergeant John Woods] is as follows: "Survey of two hundred acres of land on a Military Warrant [No. 2100] in favor of the said John Woods, on the Northwest of the Ohio and on the waters of Indian Creek Beginning at two lynns and a beech, lower back corner to Thomas Boyne survey No. 723 and corner to John Woodford's survery No. 1156, running, with Woodford's line S70 W288 poles to two small sassafras, corner to Woodford and in the line of Joseph Eggleston's survey No. 1179; then with said line S29 E104 poles to an ash and sweet gum; thence N60 E 172 poles to three poplars in Brownes line; thence N7 E with said line 152 poles to the beginning ". This land is about one mile southeast of the village of Laurel. "Grandpa Simmons soon built him a good hewed log house in which he lived many years, and died July 23, 1827, aged 80 years, 6 months, and 8 days. I was with him the morning before his death. In 1878 I saw the old stairs he used to walk up, and also saw the hooks still on the wall where he used to hang his trusty rifle."

If a human egg is fertilized by a male sperm, the fertilized egg develops into a new human. The "white" of the egg is the cytoplasm, the "yellow" is the nucleus. Mitochondria, which contain among other things mitochondrial DNA, are small structures located in the cytoplasm of all cells in the body. They are called the powerhouses of the cell, and help provide energy for cells to function. Mitochondrial DNA contains structures called "genes" (where the term genetics comes from), which provide instructions to the mitochondria. The nucleus also contains DNA, which is made up of genes. In humans, all cells in the body except eggs and sperm, have their nuclear genes located on 46 strands of DNA called chromosomes. Actually, there are 2 sets of 23 chromosomes, one set which came from Mom, and one set which came from Dad. 22 pairs of the chromosomes are alike, and the 23rd pair are different - they are called the "sex chromosomes" ("X" or "Y"). The egg contains one set of chromosomes, the sperm contains another set, and when the egg is fertilized, the new person then has a full set of 23 pairs once again. All body cells (except the egg and sperm) of a human female have 2 "X" chromomes, and all body cells of human male have 1 "X" and 1 "Y". When egg and sperm cells are formed in Mom and Dad, the 2 sets of chromosomes are separated, so each egg and each sperm has only one of each type, including the sex chromomes. Females make only eggs with X chromosomes, and males make sperm with both X and Y chromosomes. If a sperm with an X fertilizes an egg, a new female results, if a sperm with a Y fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a boy. So the male determines the sex of the child. Back to mitochondrial DNA: The egg has both cytoplasm and a nucleus; the sperm which fertilizes the egg is mostly DNA, and only enough mitochondria go provide power for the trip to the egg. So, after fertilization, all cells of the new person will have mitochondrial DNA which came entirely from the Mom (who got it from her mother, who got it from her mother - and on and on back to the beginning). When we talk about inheritance, we are talking mainly about the other DNA, in the nucleus. Each chromosome of each pair is made up of structures called genes, which contain instructions for everything our body is and does! For example, there is a gene which determines our eye color, another which controls our hair color, another which regulates our immune system. There are over 1million known pairs of genes located on the 23 pairs of chromosomes. Only 1 of each pair of genes functions in each cell in the body, so if you have one gene which is "bad", or defective, you still have another one which can work. The sex chromosomes are different, because the X chromosome is bigger, and contains more, and different genes from the Y chromosome. In the case of families with immune-deficiency disease like SCID, the gene causing the problem is located on the X chromosome, and the females carry, or transmit, the disease, but don't get sick because they also have a normal gene to cancel out the bad gene. Boys inherit their X chromosome from their mother; if the X is normal, they are ok, but if the X is defective, they get the disease. Because the mother has 2 types of eggs (one with the good X and 1 with the bad X), there is a 1 in 2, or 50% chance that the sperm will fertilize a bad egg, and the boy will be affected. If these parents had 100 children, 50 boys and 50 girls, 25 boys will be OK, 25 will be affected, 25 girls will be "carriers", and 25 girls will not be carriers. Helen
These men,1802, lived in what then was Ohio Township 1-4 crow miles west of me. Now Clermont Co,Ohio and 3 townships corner A widow Chandler. On Ulrey's Run,that follows Ohio Rt 222 south of Rt 125, or Ulrey's Run north into Lake Harsha,East Fork State Park,or,Hussong,at the 'Low Bridge "farm at the spillway of Lake Harsha. Gerrard and widow Chandler lived between,roughly,Ulrey's Run,and Old Bethel church. Simonds land was up Corker's Run from Old Bethel, and included the pond where Alice Ely Moore lost her Cracker and Dugie Moore thru the ice about 1950 jus n e of Bantam,Oh . Teegarden was a 1st trustee of Old Bethel,who lived on the Pinkham-Reese farm just north of RT 222-125,and just west of Uley's Run. Ulrey,and then Shepard,lived along RT 222 south-Ulrey's Run. Many [All?] of these people were from the Greene Co,sw Pa 10 mile Creek area. But many [all? ] has spent a few years south of Louisville,Ky. Those that I know about were noted hunters,and militia men. At least Teegarden and Simonds moved quickly away,and Simonds returned on a visit and died here. Widow Chandler's husband may have been the 1st burial in Old Bethel Methodist. Some,like Jim and Aaron Conn,and Lois and Hugh Beck [Ulrey] were friends of my parents . Many in sw Ohiofollowed the migration trail from the Gerrardstown,WV-Winchester,Va to Gerrard's Fort,Greene Co,very,very sw Pa. And they,like Rev John Gerrard Jr,went south of Louisville, Ky, but came this way where east Cincinnati had Jonathan Gerrard's Station[fort] .And Elias Gerrard was hre,a few years. As far as I know,and I know little,Wm Simonds is not related to Adam Simmons "but"Adam's son,Rev Wm Simmons has a Collins wife buried near Wm Simonds in Old Bethel,soooo I include Simmons researchers.

The Secrest (Secrist) family is mentioned several times in the diary of Mary Leever Wainright, who lived in Miami Township during the 1850s. So far in transcribing 1853 and 1854 years of the diary I have found mention of John M. Secrest, his daughter and his brother Henry. Here are excerpts of several diary entries, which mention the Secrests' location: ____________ Saturday (June) 4th (1853) A beautiful morning. Robert called this morning, took Ruth to Batavia. Ann called. Mr Hughes called / C G Megrue called and wished to know arrangement about going to Milford Lodge tonight. Lucius is going to his grandpas on the Buss. Bob and Ruth called and I went home with them and when we arrived we met with Uncle Winters the first time for twelve years. We also met with Mrs Secrest (Secrist) from Troy. Mr Wainright went to Milford Lodge. ____________________________ Wednesday (June) 8th (1853) Cool and pleasant this morning. Mrs Secrest and her Mother got on the Buss for the city. I have been churning and putting away the butter. I heard Joseph Gest and Mary Lewis were married last night. Lucius is ten years old today. _________________________________________ Teusday (sic) July 12th 53 Cool for this time of year. Ruth is sick. This morning Elen called to see Ruth. Mrs Leming called. Old father Harvey is very bad with the cholera and sent for his people. We wrote a note to Lizzie and a letter to Mrs Secrest and now I must get tea. Ruth is better this evening. ______________________________ Sunday (October) 15th (1854) Cool and clear this morning. After breakfast Bro Robison and Lady went to Zion, and Mr Wainright, Lucius and I went to Goshen and heard Bro Neff preach, after service we went to fathers and took dinner in company with several others. Mr and Mrs Secrest were there from Zion. We returned home about five oclock. _______________________ Monday Oct 16th 54 Cool but pleasant. This morning Doc Anshutz called and took breakfast and went to the city. Mr and Mrs Secrest, father, Carrie and Ruth came and spent the day with us. Mr Riggs called and settled with Mr Wainright, we got an invitation to an infair party next Friday.

Hoping to catch Ned before he takes his newly transplanted heart home. Those Mo Dr's don't understand new hearts need a dose of early NC history. Ned had people on the Clermont-Brown Co,line from 1800,but has been slow writing Emails lately. The explorer ,1750-51 of Ohio for the Ohio Co was indian trader,Christopher Gist. His son,Thomas,was at Uniontown,Pa,and Weirton,WV,AND [?] Gist's creek,,n Bardstown,KY. Another son,Col Nathanial Gist was married to a Va lady, but was an Indian trader among the e Tenn Cherokee,and had a love there,by which he fathered Sequoya,who invented the Cherokee abc's. Anyway, it's 1775, and Col Nat Gist's Va wife's uncle spreads stories of Col Nat Gist being pro-British [most important Indian traders were] and living amont the 'Over-the-hill" Cherokee. So,in very sw Va,and w NC, [and e TN?] a militia army was raised to go on the 'Cherokee expeditition" and protect the frontiers from Cherokee,and British activity, in 1776. And as this militia army arrivied at the Cherokee head town, Col National Gist came out to meet them, saying that he's just been able to get free from the Cherokee, and 'TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!" or Gen George Washington, whose been a family frend,and fellow soldier for 25 years. And Washington makes him Col of Va forces,and soon he is back in the same Cherokke village he recently left,but on oppisite sides. And,as a Va offier,he qualifies for Va Military Land bounties, located,in part,here at Bethel,Ohio. I debate whether the Breckenridge survey itself,on which Bethel was founded ,was bargined for by Obed Denham,1796-97,from Col Nat Gist,then east of Lexington,Ky . When Gist died,1800, Lexington lawyer Breckenridge became his co-excr,,
1st,let me say that if I write the most to OHCLERMO-L and OHBROWN-L@roosweb.com, I make the most errors on them also, for I write from an aging memory often. I got into an on-line debate with a lady some time back about the motives of, or how active was,her Loyalist anscestor. And, right,or wrong, her answers to me that were supposed to be "the final" answer was data,not just in books, but in books "in the Va State library. She was quoting a defender of her anscestor. She may,or may not,have been correct. Moving to our day,and to the Calif State Library, and to some book there in quoting Johnny Cochrane defending O.J. Was,or was not,Johnny's every word accurate? But it's on the official record,from a place most people are sworn to tell the truth. Many of our pioneers came here lastly from sw Pa,and it's sw most county -Greene Co- has a set of local histories published by their Historical or Genealogial Soc,and written by Mr HORN. If "HORN PAPERS,Vols1 and 2 are cited in your referances,you have cited clever fiction. The atlas of original land owners in VOL 3 is as accurate as any atlas where lands was almost always in dispute . It shows the winners only in land suits. Our own atlases are similar. The losers of those land suits ,if they didn't buy their farms a 2nd time,went to Indiana. Remember TOM LINCOLN,OF KY. Tom lost 800 acres in KY land suits,so you read of the young Abe Lincoln,not middle class, but wintering in a 3 sided Indiana cabin. We had,in Clermont, a couple earning their livings writing of Clermont's pioneers, and their history. Small newspaper and book[s]. I'm sure our Clermont library has his book[s], for he was actice in th local historical societies. I don't know that he ever claimed them as fact,but some have mis-read them as fact. Let's be kind,and say that under the presure of a deadline,he sometimes had to invent a paragraph,or two,or I guess the township sections of Evert's 1880 history are my single favorites, but one must think of the various writers of those chapters writing down his interviews of some old people,or the men around the stove in the general store. Some is,and some isn't fact. And "GRANDMA TOLD ME". Whatevr grandma told me was "FACT,FACT,FACT!" I loved my grandma,and she wouldn't lie to me. "FACT,FACT,FACT"!. O.K.,World War II was going on when I was a kid, and we FAGLEY'S were SWISS,SWISS,SWISS,regardless of our church records in Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg,s Germany. And great great grandmother had been born a Princess,not the dau of a book seller. Her daughters said much later,as old wome, at Fagley Reunions,"we never heard of the Princess business when Mother was alive! SWISS and Royal Dane is pawing me,and I had further ideas along this line.
I am looking for information on Clara Bell Davidson born approximately 1863. She married George Washington Hill on July 4th, approximately 1880 in Batavia, Ohio. George was born in Milford, Ohio on September 3, 1854. Clara had at least 1 sibling, Josephine, and was the daughter of a Joseph Davidson. These are my great grandparents and I am searching for information on both of them.

After reading Hermon Fagley's recent postings, I realize that I'm in desperate need of a good map of Clermont County showing the township boundaries - any suggestions? I would also like to inquire if there are any books about the early years of New Richmond. Is Historic New Richmond still active? Regards, Ed in CA researching: John HERRON and wife, Rebecca CLARKE, who settled in New Richmond in 1816, children: David, John, James, William, Andrew, Joseph, Anna, and Rebecca James and Lucy RODGERS, daughter Elizabeth who married Joseph HERRON
Thanks to Hatton researchers,I can prove,with Penn Archives,that Adam Simmons served from York,now Adams Co,Pa 1778. I have my doubts he served from Chester Co,s e Pa, but??????? Howard Leckey's great "The Tenmile Country,and it's PIONEER FAMILIES" HAS GOOD Lakin-fee data. Abraham Lakin m a Lee about 1715 just s e of what became Wash DC, and lived at Brunswick,Md. If Wm Lee had a kinsman on 10 mile,the Lakins should be considered.

Mt Moriah road has both a traffic light,and a left turn lane of Rt 125- Ohio Pike-Beechmont Ave 1\3 mile east of I-275.Get in north,or inner lane after leaving I-275 off-ramp. Miamiville cemetary-my wife says Ward's Corner exit of I-275 will take you west to Miamiville in 1-2 miles. Villages,1815,in Hamilton Co,Oh. just west of Clermont Co. Many families lived in both counties. CHAPTER X PROGRESS OF HAMILTON COUNTY The map prefixed to Dr. Drake's Picture of Cincinnati, published in 1815, shows the towns and villages of the county at that time to have been Cincinnati (three miles east of·Mill Creek), Columbia, Cleves, Colerain, Crosby, Springfield, Reading, Montgomery, and Newtown, with roads running from Ciucinnati to each of these points, and one other road making into Indiana. Four years later Cincinnati had become a chartered city, and Carthage and Miami were added to the list of villages. Nearly all places in the county were considered worthy of mention in the State Gazetteer of that year only as "post towns," with their respective locations and distances from Cincinnati. The county had now twelve townships--Cincinnati, Crosby, Colerain, Springfield, Sycamore, Anderson, Columbia, Mill Creek, Delhi, Green, Miami, and Whitewater. The aggregate valuation of property in the county, for purposes of taxation, was five million six hundred and four thousand nine hundred and fifty-four dollars.
