Does anyone know where there is a Wood Cemetery north of Chilo, on or near the old Simmermon farm. Its not the Wood Cemetery by the Buchanan House. Rose

I am planning to 'detour' to Clermont Co. while on vacation this summer. I'm hoping that someone will do a cemetery lookup on my gg grandparents, Michael YOUNG b. abt 1801 and Margaret YOUNG b. abt 1805. They're in the Clermont Co. census 1850 through 1880, in 1880 living in Union Twp. If they are NOT listed in any cemetery book, this information would also be helpful. Kay Davidson Colorado

Note Daniel Leeds marriages to 2 families we already tie to the Nottingham,England to Trenton,NJ Quaker ELY family-Stacy and Revelle. I think his 1st wife was of Robert Leeds, who lived on long settled by the Dutch,Burlington [NJ] Island in the Deleware River. Mahlon Stacy m to an Ely was the great Quaker minister,who settled at Trenton, NJ's site,. Mahlon Stacy was namesake to many Quakers. At least 13 adult spouses were born Leeds in e NJ and were part of our Clermont Co,Ohio colony. < RE: [njgf] Dorothy (YOUNG) LEED Date: 06/04/2000 10:05:12 AM Eastern Daylight Time From: carol@hdyinc.com (Carol Y Reese) Reply-to: njgf@egroups.com To: njgf@egroups.com <u've given me a lot of new information to pursue Here is the text of an article that I found last year that you may or may not be aware of Caro <BR> "DANIEL LEEDS: A Helpful Trouble-Maker", by Carole Ann Lang - South Jersey Magazine, Volume 28, Number 3, July-August-September, Summer 1999, P. 30. It was the most important secular book in the colonial world, the almanac - indispensable to the citizens of the time, who were farmers in nine out of ten cases. Reporting the weather, the hours of the sun's rising and setting, the lunar cycle and movement of the tides were vital bits of information for the agrarian way of life. A New Jersey man, Daniel Leeds, was arguably the first almanac-maker in the United Staes, pre-dating Benjamin Franklin and his "POOR RICHARD's ALMANACK" by forty-six years. But< Daniel left behind a legacy of political and religious controversy, too, as well as a genealogical line that produced retarded children - AND the Jersey Devil, if legend is to be believed. Daniel certainly was fiery; he burned a hole on the pages of our history. Daniel was born in 1652, probably in Nottinghamshire, England, and emigrated with his father (Thomas) sometime in the third quarter of the seventeenth century to America. They may have settled first on Long Island, New York, but later moved to Shrewsbury, New Jersey. Daniel made his own move in 1677, this time to Burlington, where he was appointed the Province's Surveyor-General in 1682 (and to the Assembly that same year). Fourteen years later (in 1696) he made the first authorized map of Burlington (THE STREETS AND LOTS OF LAND LAID IN THE TOWN OF BURLINGTON). In 1702 Leeds was appointed to the Council of Lord Cornbury, the dictatorial governor of the state; Daniel served in this capacity for six years. His support of the unpopular governor made himself unpopular with his fellow Burlington citizens. Daniel "incurred such spleen as to be hounded into the woods by the displeased townsfolk." For that. And other<BR> reasons To put it kindly, Daniel had a mind of his own, even in his pamphleteering and almanac career. His first almanac was issued from William Bradford's Philadelphia press, with the title AN ALMANAC FOR THE YEAR OF THE CHRISTIAN ACCOUNT, 1687, PARTICULARLY RESPECTING THE MERIDIAN AND LATITUDE OF BURLINGTON, BUT MAY INDIFFERENTLY SERVE ALL PLACES ADJACENT In 1688, Leeds published a religious dissertation entitled THE TEMPLE OF WISDOM FOR THE LITTLE WORLD: IN TWO PARTS That same year his second almanac was released, which was, apparently a real barn burner. For "in imitation of the Almanacs published in England Daniel had added some light, foolish, and unsavoury paragraphs, which gave< great uneasiness and offence to Friends (Quakers) of Philadelphia." The Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting "suppressed" this second work and destroyed all unsold copies. Daniel's apology probably did nothing to soothe the Quakers after this episode, for he withdrew from the Society of Friends and began consorting with Bradford and George Keith, Episcopalian opponents of Quakerism. Leeds went further; he began writing a number of pamphlets, recklessly accusing George Fox, founder of the Society, of forgeries, and William Penn of covering up the evidence.< All printed by Bradford (who had in 1693 moved to New York), these works had such dramatic titles as NEWS OF A TRUMPET SOUNDING IN THE WILDERNESS (1697); A TRUMPET SOUNDED OUT OF THE WILDERNESS OF AMERICA (1699); THE REBUKER REBUKED (1703); THE GREAT MISTERY (sic) OF FOXCRAFT DISCOVERED (1705); and THE SECOND PART OF THE MYSTRY (sic) OF FOXCRAFT (the same year).< Retaliation came. Quaker Caleb Pusey published counter attacks in the pamphlets SATAN'S HARBINGER ENCOUNTERED, HIS FALSE NEWS OF A TRUMPET DETECTED (1700) and in DANIEL LEEDS JUSTLY REBUKED FOR ABUSING WILLIAM PENN AND HIS FOLY (sic) AND FALS-HOODS (sic) IN HIS TWO PRINTED CHALENGES (sic) TO CALEB PUSEY (1702). In 1703 Pusey appended "Remarks on Daniel Leeds Abusive Almanac for 1703" to his PROTEUS ECCLESIASTICUS, OR GEORGE KEITH<BR> VARIED IN FUNDAMANTALS and characterized Daniel as "a perverter of our Friends words" and "a false citer in divers respects." In spite of the hostilities Daniel managed to stir up, he married four times: first before leaving England, second February 21, 1681, to Ann Stacy, who bore him a child and died, third, early in 1682, to Dorothy Young, who became the mother of several children, and fourth, sometime between 1700 and 1705, to a widow, Jane (nee Revell). But trouble followed Daniel even in< this sphere. [At least his son,Japhet Leeds remained Quaker] Many of Daniel's descendants seem to have been retarded, "Re-births" of< the Jersey Devil, who was said to have been another of Leeds' genealogical< line (the thirteenth child of a Mrs. Leeds of Estelville). Also, one of<BR> Daniel's children, Titan (who computed the tables for the AMERICAN ALMANAC< from 1714 to 1746), became the victim of one of Benjamin Franklin's< practical jokes. In his first almanac (1733), "Poor Richard" predicted the< death of Titan. In spite of Titan's published protest, Franklin insisted that there was "the strongest probability that my dear friend is no more." Titan had apparently quite abused Franklin in the protest and the fight< between the two went on for several years.<BR> Daniel died September 28th, 1720, in Burlington, where he had spent<BR> most of his life, where he had done so much good and caused so much<BR> controversy. A man who symbolizes the good and evil that fights within all<BR> of us.<BR> Sources:<BR> Joseph Jackson. "Daniel Leeds".

Hello Listers: I was in receipt of the Probate and Will from Clermont Co. Clerk a couple of days ago; the charge for about 12 pages was $8. Unfortunately, Levi BARTHOLOMEW, died ca Sept 1837/Monroe Township, Clermont Co., did not name each of his heirs by name save for his widow, Elizabeth, and one son, Peter J. Thus, I am in need of more items from Clermont Co. to aid in the reconstruction of his family line. Does anyone do lookups in Clermont or at least can tell me something more about the best way to obtain a search for an obit and a marriage record or land records? I would like to find an obit in a newspaper of Clermont for Sept 1837, Levi BARTHOLOMEW; I would also like a search to find out if Levi BARTHOLOMEW, who came to Clermont ca 1817, remarried between 1817 and 1821 to a lady by the name of Elizabeth UNKNOWN. I believe I have found info that hints that his first wife, Rosannah CASTLE, may have died ca 1817 in NY or CT, and that Levi's last born son, William Winnen, born 1821/Clermont, was the child of a 2nd wife, Elizabeth. From census research, it seems that this Elizabeth, born 1779/NJ, could have been a sister to another Clermont family head of household, Obadiah WINANS, born 1785/NJ, who appears close to the BARTHOLOMEWS in the Clermont censuses. This Obadiah married Amy UNKNOWN and had at least these children: William (b 1815/OH), Amanda (b 1828/OH), Martha (b 1830/OH), Acenith (b 1832/OH), Benjamin (b 1834/OH), Allen (b 1836/OH). Can anyone help me with info on the obit, vital, and land records search? Does anyone know the BARTHOLOMEW or WINANS families in Clermont? Thanks for your help! Robin Southern CAL PS I am willing to exchange lookup research in Clermont for lookup work in Los Angeles or Orange Counties, CA.

I'm new to this list and searching for information on Thomas COX b. c 1780 in MD (according to 1850/60 census). Deeds show he was married to a Rachel. He lived for a time in North Carolina as a daughter was born there about 1805. A son Nathan was born in Clermont Co., OH in 1811. Nathan married Ann PARKER there in 1838. Other known children were Charles, married Mary BARNGROVER; Thomas W.; Dorcas, married Daniel PERRINE; Ruth who married Hugh MCGUIRE and Elizabeth. There may also have been a Mary who married Joseph ILER. They all lived in Williamsburg Twp. of Clermont Co. Thomas probably died in Ohio as I find him there at the age of 80 in 1860. But no death record yet. Nathan & Charles moved to Lafayette Co., MO by 1840. Would love to know more about this family and where Thomas came from in NC & MD. Were there certain areas in NC or MD that people migrated to Ohio from? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. Shari Cox

My wife's great grandfather was Harvey Ashton, of Blowville, RT 133 Williamsburg-Jackson twnsp line. I've long guessed he was named for some Mr Harvey, but I've never had access to census records til Tammy Altman provided same on her aol web page. [Thank you,Tammy!]. Anyway,1830 census index of Williamsburg twnsp [Jackson Twnsp not formed yet. Williamsburg and Wayne twnsps ran to RT 50 in 1830. A Jacob Harvey lived about Glancy Corners on RT 133 4-5 miles n of Williamsburg. Greenbury Methodist- Hutchison cemetary area. Surely a Jerseyman. Both the Ashton's, and Harvry Ashton's maternial grandparents,Richard BURK m Lydia Harden,of Peter, lived in that neiughborhood. Who was Jacob Harvey?

Following Thomas String m an Albertson at St George Methodist in Philadelphia,and came with the 1803 colony,settling on absentee owner,Josiah Albertson's speculation lands 'Blue Anchor,in mid NJ. Thomas String,Swedish, land was between John and Sarah Blackman Collins,who built on the Tate beach of Lake Harsha,East Fork State Park,Clermont Co,Oh. String's were joined on the east by Isaac and Sophia Somers Higbee,and the latter's mill was at the Tate beach. Across the creek was Betsy,of James Leeds,m Josiah [?] Wilson, and WM Symonds on the north. Some of us remember the noirthern part of the 3-400 acres as the Shields farm. I think Thomas String joined Isaac Higbee in becoming Morman,and that he went to Utah,1840's. Noah Conover m Keziah String. Unlike Collins, Higbee,McCollum of the 1803 group,String left no home to be destroyed by the 1970's Corps of Engineers flooding Lake Harsha.

Ed, there is a "manuscript" written by headmaster Parker's widow. It is filled with names and recollections. Maybe it is published by now. Would the Clermont County Genealogical Society know?

I think the Everts History of Clermont County discusses the Scotch Settlement and names the 21 original members. I know that my ancestor John Archerd is named. So also is his father-in-law John Hays.

I am looking for information on the Brunaugh family, I have Ben Brunaugh born 1833, in Clermont County, I no that his parents were Henry and Edith but that is were the line ends any one who noes this family would be helpful. Pat C

Hi Larry, no argument here, but I think you may have misread my email. I stated that Sarah Jane GRANT married James H RALSTON, and that James H RALSTON was the brother of Samuel RALSTON whose eldest daughter was Annie RALSTON. Annie RALSTON married Alexander Franklin "Frank" JAMES (brother to Jesse Woodson JAMES). As for the info I have read and been in correspondence about by JAMES researchers, it was the father of Jesse and Frank JAMES, Robert Sallee JAMES who was born in Logan Co. KY. According to documented info found on the James Family of America Association (www.ericjames.net/meet_phil_stewart.html) , by renown JAMES family historian, and former historian of the James Farm, Clay Co., Mo, Phil Stewart (jjhist@grm.net or jjhist@netins.net ), Robert and wife Zerilda COLE JAMES came to Clay Co. MO in 1842 from KY; it was in Clay Co. MO that all four of the JAMES children were born. According to this info, Robert died in the goldfields of El Dorado Co. CA where he had gone to preach. It also states that the wife of Jesse JAMES was Zeralda Amanda MIMMS. I don't see any Sarah HITE listed at all. Info from JAMES researcher Bob Juch at http://members.xcomcom/cyber_wiz/gedpage/fam07429.htm, Frank and Annie (RALSTON) JAMES had one son, Robert Franklin JAMES, who was born 1878 in Nashville, Davidson CO., TN, but he died on the James Farm, Clay Co. MO in 1959. The Phil Stewart site contains much, much info on all aspects of the JAMES' families in KY, MO, and elsewhere.

Dear List, Betty Jo and Pat: In response to your queries to me about DAY in Clermont, I am sorry to report that I still have not been able to find the proper parents for my Sarah Ann Melvina DAY CHURCH (see her and her children's report listed here, one generation). I have looked at all of the DAY families in Clermont and Brown Counties for the period 1850 and 1860 and cannot find her listed as "Sarah or Melvina or Ann" at the proper age range in any of the families. Perhaps her mom remarried and took on another name and the children were listed under that name (have seen it happen frequently). I was hoping Sarah's obit in Buchanan Co. MO would shed some light on her parents, but alas, nothing was mentioned of her family at all (sigh). I am wondering if the marriage license would say anything? Maybe I should send for her death cert from MO? Thanks again, Robin Descendants of Sarah Melvina Day Generation No. 1 1. SARAH MELVINA1 DAY was born May 01, 1842 in Clermont Co., OH, and died July 11, 1930 in Buchanan Co., MO. She married JONATHAN CHURCH January 13, 1866 in Bethel, Clermont Co., OH, son of JONATHAN CHURCH and HARRIET EARHART. He was born March 20, 1844 in Locust Ridge, Brown Co., OH, and died July 08, 1926 in Buchanan Co., MO. Children of SARAH DAY and JONATHAN CHURCH are: i. JAMES FRANKLIN2 CHURCH, b. June 14, 1866, Brown Co. OH; d. October 14, 1934, Omaha, Douglas Co., NE; m. PRUDENCE OTA CUMMINGS, Abt. 1892. ii. HENRY D CHURCH, b. June 01, 1868, Brown Co. OH. iii. ERNEST HOWARD CHURCH, b. February 28, 1870, Brown Co. OH; d. Aft. 1900, MO; m. ALICE BELLE MILLER, Abt. 1890, Colfax Co., NE; b. September 1864, IL; d. Aft. 1900, MO. iv. HARRIET REBEKAH CHURCH, b.

JOHN B CHURCH, b. February 26, 1874, Warren or Knox Co. IL. vii. IDA M CHURCH, b. April 28, 1876, Warren or Knox Co. IL; m. ALBERT F ROMINGER, Abt. 1895, Colfax Co., NE. viii. LEONIDAS M CHURCH, b.

Pat Mount Noticed your mention of the DAY family in your Clermont county message. Have you come across a Sarah DAY b. abt 1822? She was living with my Willis LEVI family in Clermont county in 1850, 1860 and 1870 but no one knows who she is. She's a real mystery to us. Have you been in touch with Debbie Shaffer in Clermont Co? -- I believe that she is working on a DAY family there too. Betty Jo bjstock@iag.net
