Hi Everyone, As everyone knows genealogy books are much treasured and need to be used and not just sit on a shelf. I am downsizing my library and will be selling many of my genealogy books. I have some for Clermont Co. and other counties in Ohio, plus other New England states and some periodicals, such as The Second Boat and their spin off The Dinghy - both are loaded with queries siting early ancestors, dates, birth/death dates, spouses surnames, etc.). If anyone is interested in seeing my list of books beyond Clermont Co. below, please e-mail me direct. Thank you for your time, it is appreciated.

Hi Dick. Perhaps I have a bit that might interest you - and reciprocity included. I have the daughter of Jacob PHILHOWER and Elizabeth HART marrying John NUTT in 1830 in Clermont Co OH. I do have the Philhowers having originated in Tewksbury, Hunterdon Co NJ. John Nutt was the brother of my gr-gr-grandfather, Elias NUTT and son of Robert NUTT. Anna was born 11 Nov 1805 in NJ, married John 20 May 1830. They had nine children. John died about 1856 in either Vigo or Clay Cos IN. (Information is desperately being sought by any number of NUTT researchers.) At John's death Anna moved with most of the children to Boone Co IA where she died at some later date. I note that two of Anna's children married HOFFMANs, but don't know if same as your HOFFMAN family - Jefferson and Mathias HOFFMAN. Since I am descended from the NUTT family, and a different line than Anna (PHILHOWER) NUTT, don't have a whole lot. Let me know what you think and mayhaps we can help one another. don At 08:41 AM 10/08/2000 -0500, you wrote: > >Researching following families who migrated from Hunterdon County, NJ., to >Belmont and Clermont Counties, Oh.(Later to Grant, Delaware, Madison, and >Hamilton Counties, Indiana) Wishing to make contact with anyone who will >share information...Schuyler, Hoffman, Philhower,Tiger,Apgar, etc > >Dick Carter >rcar37@prodigy.net > > > > >============================== >http://www.ancestry.com/dailynews >Free e-zine with helpful articles, news, and tips >

I checked out the participants from Ohio on the Miami Valley Genealogical Index. Although I know this index is not supposed to cover Clermont County, I found it interesting that one list of participants were from "county unknown". Captain Daniel Kain's Company included William Fletcher, Jesse Flitcher, and Josiah Prickett. These are all names of people who were/could have been in Clermont County at that time. My ancestor Jesse Fletcher was born in 1792 and his brother William was somewhat older (we don't know for sure when he was born). Is it possible that the last name of Jesse was misspelled? Josiah Prickett was in the Rev War from PA and then migrated to Ohio and was in Clermont County in 1840, so this may have been a son of his as he would have been pretty old to be a soldier in 1812? Any thoughts on this? I had never heard that any of my Fletchers served in the War of 1812, but who knows. How do I go about investigating this further? Would appreciate any help. Susan in Milwaukee

Is there anyone on the list who lives near the courthouse and would be willing to look up a death record? I THINK I've found my gg grandmother listed in the death record index, found on microfiche through the Family History Center. Would prefer not to wait another 4-6 weeks for the microfilm. Willing to reimburse for copies, etc. Kay Davidson

If the list owner OKs a roll call, please be sure to put the SURNAMEs in the subject line. Makes it a lot easier to follow.

Hi, By any slim chance would anyone be familiar with a Jemima or Jessamine SMITH b OH. She was likely born about 1810 and married Emanuel WARD 1831 in Fayette Co IN. After Emanuel died in Hancock Co IN 1841, Jemima married second to John MATLOCK, a widower with children. They are on the 1850 Johnson Co IN census. A James WARD is involved in court estate in the setting off of Jemima's dower after Emanuel's death. Thanks, Tom Tom & Carolyn WARD P.O.

I agree that these migrations are a fascinating factor. In fact, I have found more clues on my brick walls and some really valuable information by checking out other family lines that appeared to travel the same route as my ancestors. I think that early on these folks became friends, some intermarried, and in a sense they became a large extended family who knew and trusted each other. If one were going into the unknown, it would make sense to at least travel with folks you knew and knew you could rely upon. Besides, they knew if they were separated by some staying behind, they might never see brother or sister-in-law or parents-in-law, etc. again. Children would grow up without ever knowing grandparents and so forth. These people largely had the same goals and values and knew they would be more to succeed if they went in a cohesive group. As an example, I have learned that my Clermont County folks started in Sussex County, NJ with Phoebe Beadle (or Beedle, Bedle, or Bedell) who was born in 1774. Her family and others apparently went to Washington County, PA, or that general area sometime later. She married John Fletcher in Washington County, PA (I think), and then sometime around 1789 John, Phoebe, their two sons, the Covalts, some Beedles, and many other families (whose names show up in NJ and PA) left Bedford County, PA and went to Hamilton County, Ohio to settle in newly opened land in the Northwest Territory. John was accidently shot by Captain Richard Hall (or killed by Indians, depending on the source) in 1793 and Phoebe married Richard who had been a soldier in the Rev War from Washington County. In 1800 or 1801 Richard was transferred to Clermont County by St. Clair and there they settled in Stonelick Township and stayed. Many of the same family names can be traced from NJ to Clermont County. Some probably went early and others followed. Perhaps they didn't want to be so far from friends and relatives or the opportunities for new land convinced them to leave, especially once the Shawnees were under control. I hope others will share their migration stories as I think there are a lot of clues for all of us in doing so. Also, if others have had success finding information from NJ and PA, I hope they will share this as well as I am stuck. I only have Phoebe's date of birth and place because she mentioned them on a pension request after Richard died. I have no parents or siblings for her. As for John Fletcher, I have no definite date of birth or place. Susan in Milwaukee

I strongly support the idea of a roll call re migration to Clermont County. >From a HERRON (HERON) biography: "Glowing accounts of the new Northwest Territory had for years been traveling eastward, and in 1816 John HERRON determined to remove thither. With his family he crossed the mountains in the great Conestoga wagons of that time, and took raft at Pittsburgh for Cincinnati. In accordance with previous arrangement with former neighbors he found his way to Clermont County, and purchased a farm near the Ohio River, where he passed the remainder of his life." I would love to know who his neighbors were. Regards, Ed in CA

I haven't confirmed this but wouldn't be surprised..

Ditto on the Virginia frustration! My Rev. Samuel West of Clermont County was born in Virginia, according to the 1850 census. However, other places mention that he came from Pennsylvania, and he was associated with Methodists from Maryland. He was born around 1779, apparently spent some time in Marietta, Ohio, before coming down the river to the Cincinnati area after 1800. In 1809, he stayed with Philip Gatch until Bishop Asbury arrived and gave him his assignment as a Methodist Circuit Rider. He owned property in Olive Branch, Union Township. After retiring as a circuit rider in 1824, he preached locally and became a land speculator, traveling the west. He outlived three wives; Rebecca Strong, widow of Richard Allison, who he met in Cincinnati, Lucinda Porter Ludlow, and then Elizabeth Gatch Williams. And of course, he has an extremely common name, so I find Samuel Wests in all the possible places. A real rolling stone! Lots of clues, but nothing to pin him down. Any suggestions out there? Amy Schneider

Hi Herman, It sounds like a great idea, but limiting the roll call to a particular township might not bring the desired results. I don't have families who migrated from Frederick Co VA to Clermont Co OH (I don';t think) , but it could be not only interesting, but informative as well to others.. How about one for SW PA?. This is where at least three families that I know of migrated from to Clermont Co. Isn't this fun!!! Lou in Indiana

You have ancestors in sw Ohio that are supposed to be 'born Virginia" . And you are stuck there. 1st,and most important,Wv was cut from Va in 1863,years after sw Ohio was pioneered. 2nd,the northern counties of Va and WV touching on the Potomac ,and much of the northern Shenadoah Valley were settled mostly from the drains of the Deleware River, not tidewater Va. 3rd, like many families show up on both the Ohio and Kentucky banks of the Ohio River, so do Va,and Md families show up on both banks of the Potomac. 4th,the Civil war destroyed many Va records,but Va is one of the best states for posting records on-line.
