Hi all, I've been checking original land purchasers in Hancock Co IN where my g g gf Ephraim WARD b 1816 TN first surfaced as an original land purchaser. Searches of the government land office records (GLOR) list the following purchasers of land in Hancock Co IN. Emanuel WARD 16 Oct 1835 Emmanuel WARD 9 Sept 1835 Ephraim WARD 16 Oct 1835 Ephraim WARD 30 March 1837 Markel L. WARD 20 March 1837 Note: Ephraim WARD above is my g g gf. Emanuel WARD would also seem to be a brother. Squire WARD a brother to Ephraim was administrator of the estate of Emanuel WARD. My g g gf Ephraim was on his bond. Emanuel married Jemima or Jessamine SMITH born OH in 1831 in Fayette Co IN. A search of Marion County IN land shows that Linzy WARD 30 Sept 1835 Lindsey WARD 30 Sept 1835 A search of the LDS family search shows the following IGI Lindsey WARD married Elizabeth BOLANDER 27 Dec 1832 Clermont Co OH It would seem posible that the Lindsey/Linzy WARD of Marion Co OH and the Markel L. WARD were one and the same and likely the Lindsey WARD of Clermont Co OH. Can anyone add further detail/ancestry info on Lindsey WARD possibly aka Markel L. WARD??????? Also in case anyone else has joined the list I am still seeking further detail on the James and Elizabeth WARD buried next to the Mt Moriah Methodist Church in the Mt Moriah Cemetery. Also the Joshua WARD buried in the Asbury Methodist Cemetery just across the line in Hamlton Co OH. Thanks and happy to share Tom Tom & Carolyn WARD P.O. Box 77 Columbus, KS 66725 (316)429-3475 tcward@columbus-ks.com

One of the most common,and often wrong traditions, is that our ancestory who resided in the Va Military District between the Little Miami River,and the Scioto River, recieveed his land for military service for Va? I'm asking this of several counties at once,and don't want you to reply if you have just the traditon-many will- but that you have so proved his service,and land bounty warrent. Beer's "History of Brown Co,Ohio" states that only Capt Robert Higgins actually served,and then ,actually settled on his military land warrent,at Higginsport,Oh. Very likely that number is to low, but I'm wondering how low. I'm not asking if heirs of the Va soldier settled on the soldier's military land warrent. I'm not asking if your soldier served for Va,and recieved a bounty land warrent,that he sold to speculators. I'm not asking that the DAR ,in it's careless on research years, accepted a ladies application ,that her ancestor recieved a land warrent where he settled in Ohio. I have no doubt many applications so state. I am asking,and of many good researchers, 'Can you "prove' your ancestor got a military land bounty here,and then personally settled on it.?" "Or even, 'Can you prove your ancestor go a Va Military land warrent,and personally came to Ohio to sell sections to newcomers.? There was 1 time Va offered privates 100 acres for enlisting. There was a time Va badly needed troops,and offered 200 acres,and a slave,for enlisting. My library has no data for counties where it was "common' for surveyors to locate those small tracts. The river counties were most often surveyed in 666 2\3 and bigger tracts for officers. Where was the privates small military land warrents located? The other,and earlier,Va Military district between Ky's Cumberland and Green Rivers? I have the above tradition for solders who actually served in NJ,and Pa, and whose purchace of their Ohio farms from land speculators,is recorded. I also have traditions of descent from famous people and royality-non of which has proven correct. We have a tradition our Fagaly-Vogelei ancestor was a s German princess. And we have her aged daughters recorded years later in family reunion minutes saying'We never heard the tradition that Mother was born a princess "until after her death".

My Clermont co, OH families are: Andrew APPLE, b. 1735, d. 1817, and wife Elizabeth Catherine (maiden unknown). I descend from their son Henry APPLE, b. 1768, d. 1830 and married Maria Catherine (maiden name Kreamer?). Saley/Sally PRICKETT or PRICKET, married to George APPLE (son of Henry) 19 Jan 1834. The family moved to Indiana, but I am not sure if Saley died before or shortly after the move. I have not yet been able to tie her to all the Pricketts who lived in Clermont Co, but Anna/Amy/Amelia PRICKETT (wife of John) could be her grandmother. Appreciate any help! Susan

I am trying to locate my Great-great-Great Grandparent, Henry and Edith Brunaugh, I no that they were in Clermont County Ohio in 1833 that is when there son Benjamin was born, any one have any suggestions on these names and do the birth records at the county court house go back that far. Thank you Pat C

www.ancestry.com offers free for all to research a few days called Md Marriages but really those from Frederick and Carroll Co.MD . 1776 Frederick Co lost Montgomery Co to the south and Washington Co west. However, there were still many from Frederick Co in s e Clermont and s w Brown Co. Usually Methodists here,but Md colony had the Episcopal church as the official church. 1778 is a bit late for some who moved here from Frederick Co,as they had stop overs in very sw Pa and then,1790's Bracken Co,Ky.

Dear Listers, The obituary for my gggrandfather's eldest son states that my gggrandfather was in the Mexican War. I checked with NARA and drew a blank. His name was Esau Rice. His family lived in Tate Township through the 1840s and 1850s. Does anyone have a source for Clermont Co. men who served in the Mexican War? Thanks, Marion Rice mjrice@dakotacom.net

Hi Everyone, I have some questions that I hope someone out there can answer. 1. I believe I read that Milford now has its own genealogy/historical society. Does it have a URL and if so, what is it? 2. Is there any way to use the house/family numbers on the census to find the actual location of the house? Here is my problem; My ancestor, Wm. Cooper and his family appear on the Clermont Cty., Miami Twp census of 1850. According to the census he lived between the families of Edward Cowen (no. 997) and Lewis Gatch.(no. 999) When I got to the library in Batavia, the earliest map I could find was from 1869-70. 20 years after the census. Are there any earlier maps showing property owners? Say 1850's or early 60's? Assuming they stayed put for those years, I tried to find them on the map. On the 1850 census Lewis Gatch(age 63) had a male relative, John (age 26 or 36). No Lewis could be found on the 1870 map, but there were at least 3 Johns. However none of them had Coopers living next to them. My next question concerns the Gatches. 3. Does anyone know where Lewis Gatch lived in 1850? From what I saw at the library, the Gatches were fairly wealthy and prominent. Did they have renters? How could I find out? I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Sharon Schwartz

Erin, I am sending this to the Doughty groupies in NJ and to Clermont Co list on rootsweb. I don't see a connection to Doughtys from GEH twp. in present Atlantic Co., NJ, but who knows. Jack Dole - ----------------------------------------- Posted on genform by seasamh@aol.com Re: Rebecca Doughty Posted by: Erin Date: August 18, 2000 at 20:48:19 In Reply to: DOUGHTY, Daniel /EdwardClermont Co., OH by Jack Dole of 458 Who is the Rebecca Doughty b. 1756, m. Peter Moriarty about 1788, living with husband and 1 son in Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY in the 1790 census, died 4 Jun 1834 and buried at Saratoga Springs, NY? The reason I ask here is that Rebecca and Peter's son Gilbert Moriarty moved to Clermont Co., Ohio about 1820 and married Avey Ann Ranson. Peter Moriarty was a prominent Methodist minister in upstate New York. Avey Ranson's father, Ambrose, was a staunch Methodist who left VA with a group of like-minded people because of his disapproval of slavery, and settled in Clermont Co. It appears that Gilbert went to that area because of a prior connection between his father Peter, who had started out his ministry in VA, and either the Ransons or other Methodists they were travelling with. Could Rebecca Doughty Dole have been a relative of Rebecca Doughty Moriarty? Maybe an aunt or something? I'd appreciate any information that may be relevant!

Groups, I thought you all might like the chance to see what some people think about the big little city of Louisville, KY. Richard writes a column for the CJ here in Louisville. I am also enclosing my email to Richard on the Local flavor. Do try the web site! Jack Dole, that Colorado gypsy in Looavil - --------------------------------------------------------- http://www.courier-journal.com/cjextra/columns/desruisseaux/comments/ RICHARD DES RUISSEAUX Back to Des Ruisseaux | Local News | The Courier-Journal Des Ruisseaux asked: What's your take on Louisville? Too dowdy, too dull, just right? Do we have delusions of grandeur or mediocrity? How do we stack up with where you used to live? What do you like, what do you not? Do we need to change? If so, how? And now . . . Readers write back Jack and Nan Dole Eastern Jefferson County JDole5633@aol.com We have read your latest columns with some amusement. Actually we get a kick out of them. We find the local indigenous people very friendly and somewhat quaint. Since 1971 we have lived in some 30 different locals, including Central and South America. (It is somewhat difficult to stay ahead of the law.) Since we have a large database to compare individual locals and individuals in locals, the observations do have some merit. It is not often that one has the opportunity to have the entire staff of a fast-food restaurant wait on them. I was standing very alone at the order counter in a fast food joint on Fern Valley Road. The cook soon leaned out the pass-through window and said, "Hey, boss, what you want? I'll fix it for ya." Now, you don't find that kind of service everywhere. One could say the folks in the Louisville area have some unique customs. The red octagonal sign that appears on the corner of some street intersections has the letters STOP, which here means "slightly tap on pedal." It has been also observed that it means "sometimes tap on pedal." We quickly learned that the traffic lights in Louisville only have one color, bright green and two other shades of green. At the intersection of Oxmoor Lane and Shelbyville Road, the first car in line has two options when his/her light turns to the bright shade of green: turn up the radio so the honking does not bother you or take a trip to the body shop and the emergency room. Freeway driving is really quite entertaining. You always have the opportunity to practice your defensive driving. One of key tricks is to look the driver beside you in eye to get the feel of the situation, does he really want the same position on the road that you are in? "Safe assured distance" for the car in front of you is sometimes defined as, "Can I read the expiration date on the plate?" Lane-changing in the area is very simple and only has a few rules. Unless you have recently greased both bumpers, the space required between two cars, is your car's length plus about two feet. The second rule is not to give any indication of the pending lane change; don't let the eyes give it away. Do not, under any circumstances, glide into the lane change, just crank the wheel as fast as you can. For those other Newbies moving into Louisville, two businesses that will not make it in this area is "driver safety training" and selling replacement turn-signal bulbs. (Somebody's got to get this guy a newspaper column of his own or a Web page or something. Or maybe I'll just hire him as a ghostwriter. RDR) Since we both truly enjoy the Louisville area, we are looking forward to next week's column. We will be able to add to our understanding of how not to drive like a foreigner. (Actually, there were so many interesting comments about everyday life in Louisville that the column on driving tips has been slow-forwarded until Aug. 30 .RDR.) We are also very interested in where all of the "G's" are kept, since none are used on the end of a word. Are they sold or saved for the commodities market? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --

The Beech Forest Chapter, DAR of Williamsburg, OH published a large book entitled "Monument Inscriptions prior to 1900 for Cemeteries in Clermont County, Ohio" in 1952. I found it in the Seattle Public Library, so surely it must be in other libraries. I also found dates beyond 1900, in fact a 1923 death date that I had really been looking for. Lynn

You err a bit on no 3. Old Bethel is 1807,with the present building,1817. It is 4-5 miles west of Bethel,not Felicity. Settlement started in the Felicity area 30 years before there was a town. My Rev George Brown rowed the river to preach, and my Adam Simmons was class leader of Mewthodists at Rural,5 miles s of Felicity,in 1798. The Sargent's who had mills sw Felicity,were Methodist leaders of 1800, and a cemetary listed today as DR WOODS,was theirs. On north past their mills and west of ,now,Felicity, was Hopewell Methodist,,of about 1806,and it's cemetary survivies out Hopewell Rd west of Felicity a long mile. It closed,when the town of Felicity devoloped. Another early Methodist church is Mt Zion Methodist,on RT 756 n e of Felicity at the Lewis Twnsp line . It' s a hair in Brown Co. Rufpeg@aol.com might date it's cemetary. Her John Siims m 2nd Richardson,was 1st[?] buried there. Maybe an acre. Smyrna Presbyterian Cem is a mile east of Felicity. 2 acres ? West and south of Felicity were Dunkard>Christian cemetaryies, and Shinkle's Ridge Cem, in s mid Lewis,3 miles north of Augusta Ky, is a few acres of Church of Christ. Most of those churches moved into Felicity,but left mowed cemetaries, Lewis Township has a big Methodist [?] cemetary called Eden,near Feesburg. Never seen it. n Lewis Twnsp. My own Rev Jesse Justice,from this farm w of Bethel,seems to have ridden 10+ miles to be Mt Zion's minisrter,near his 1826 death. Sayfrom 1815-20. Bethel Methodist does hold the deeds of Old Bethel,but I doubt further records. djabrams@gateway.net is one of Bethel Methodists most active members. carlely@juno.com headed up the group preserving Old Bethel,and might have comment on it's records.
