Thanks, Karen, I'm certainly not looking for "noble" ancestors, but I guess I wouldn't turn them down. --Lee

Karen, It looks like these folks are part of the Lindsey clan of Scotland. If so you may be descended from Colin Lindsey, Earl of Belcaries, Scotland who lived in the mid 1700's.

Hate to have to change from AOL since have used the screenname for so long, but I am having a problem with a large square box popping up when I am on line with an AOL logo and an "invitation" to go to a net site....these are all porno, but what is worse is that the Http://........ on the pop up box includes many obscene words and my six and seven year old grandchildren want an explanation. I wrote AOL to complain and all I got back was, "gee we are sorry you are having problem." If any of you folks would like to recommend a good ISP that block this nonsense yet allows open mail receiving because of the research we are doing, please pass the suggestions on. Thanks Dorothy

Thank you so much for the offer. I'd appreciate knowing a little about Martha's relatives since there may be some leads that I can follow up. Do you have a county where Hezekiah came from? It seems like the LINDSEYS, JOHNS, and FITZPATRICKS may have all come from the same place or met along the way. I have information about some FITZPATRICK decendants coming through Kentucky but it's very meager.

Hi Tony, Check out historic Redstone in Fayette Co PA. Several families migrated to Clermont Co OH from the area including Bonser and Woodmansee. Lou in Indiana GraveNews2@aol.com

Margaret, Clermont county death records are available at the Clermont county Probate Court in Batavia OH. They will do a search for a fee or you can look for yourself. There is also a lot of information availble at the Clermont County library in Batavia thanks to the Genealogical Society. Did you know President Grant was born in Clermont? Maybe you are related.

Dear Lee, I have Martha A Lindsey in my line as well, but I have no children listed for Martha and Phillip Nicholls. Can you help me fill in some gaps? My descendency is from David B. Lindsey[1720]>Hezekiah Lindsey[1747]> John Lindsey[1774]>William Lindsey[1797> Curtis Lindsey[1818]> Aaron Purdom Lindsey[1863]> Dan Monroe Lindsey[1911-1996] who is my father. If you are descended from Martha, surely there must be some children that I don't know about. Margaret Lindsey Teerlink

I am trying to determine the route my ancestors took from England. They suppossedly arrived in Maryland from England about 1797. Then they went to the "Red Rocks Country", then to Cincinatti and finally to Clermont county in 1815. I would appreciate anyone telling me where or what is the Red Rocks Country? Thank you.

When we think it is hard to trace our family trees , here is something to think about! Survivors Remember Orphan Trains By ROBERT WELLER .c The Associated Press LAKEWOOD, Colo. (April 29) - It is one of the least-remembered of America's migrations to the West: as many as 350,000 orphan children shipped out of New York on ''Orphan Trains'' from the 1850s to 1929. The trains stopped in rural areas so that prospective parents could look over the youngsters and decide whether to take in any of them. The process wasn't always successful, recalled Dorothy Sharpley, 81, one of six Orphan Train ''riders'' who attended a reunion Saturday in Colorado. Sharpley said she was rejected by her first adoptive family, in Columbus, Neb. ''I was sent back to New York only to ride the train again and end up in St. Mary's, Neb., only 20 miles from Columbus.'' The trains were the idea of Methodist minister Charles Loring Brace, founder of the Children's Aid Society of New York, intended as a means of moving children out of the alleys and squalor of a city overrun by immigrants and the industrial revolution, out to the West and wholesome farm family life. ''It was a major event in migration to the West, where life revolved around the railroad,'' said Tom Noel, a University of Colorado historian. For Sharpley, life before the Orphan Train meant having to beg for food in an orphanage with 600 children. Janet Liebl, author of ''Ties That Bind, the Orphan Train Story in Minnesota,'' said her research indicates the number of orphans who rode the trains is about the same as the number of slaves brought into the United States. ''We don't hear about these people because they were assimilated,'' said Liebl. Less than 1,000 of the ''riders'' are estimated to be still alive. The Orphan Train was a sweet second chance for many, a Dickensian nightmare for others. ''We'd stop in these little towns and get out of the trains and they'd interview us. It was kind of like a cattle auction. If they liked us they'd take us,'' said Stanley Cornell, who joined Sharpley at Saturday's reunion. Cornell, then 6, rode the train twice with his brother, Victor, who was 5. Their mother died when their sister, Eloise, was born, and their father, a victim of a German gas attack in World War I, was unable to care for them. Another sister took Eloise, but didn't have room for Stanley and Victor. On their first trip they were taken in by a family in Coffeyville, Kan. ''They were kind and we liked them, but after a couple of months they sent us back. I still don't know why. Maybe their other kids didn't like us,'' said Cornell, now 80. On their second trip, they met a Wellington, Texas, man with two daughters who had wanted a son. ''He only wanted one boy, but he took us both,'' Cornell recalls. His only question ''was whether we liked farms and animals,'' and when they passed that test, he gave them a bag of jelly beans. Liebl said the nuns of New York's Foundling Hospital were finding up to 1,000 abandoned babies on their doorstep every year in the 1870s. The nuns and Brace's group were the main groups sending orphans on the trains. Brace's faith in farmers didn't always pan out for the children. In some cases orphans were treated as indentured workers, and were sent away once the harvest was finished. ''My mother loved me but all my father cared about was how much farm work I could do,'' said Sharpley. The orphans were told to never try to find out who their parents were, and their adoptive parents signed an agreement not to divulge the information. ''I'm still trying to find out who my real parents are. But the Foundling Hospital tells me the records are all burned,'' said Sharpley. Cornell got unexpected assistance finding his family. While serving in the Army during World War II, he sent a telegram to J. Edgar Hoover asking for help. The FBI director replied within 10 days, telling him where his father lived.

looking to see if any of the fellow Clermont County Listers have any information on the above names. Daniel Hancock m Nancy Bunner about 1854 and I am looking for more information on his parents. He moved to Ohio from Maryland. Thanks

Karen-- I am descended from Martha A. Lindsey, daughter of John Lindsey and Margaret Gray. I believe John may be descended from Hezekiah but have no proof. I have partial information on Martha's descendants if that would help you. --Lee Nichols

My sisters and I are trying to complete the work which opur late mother had started... without access to her notes! ( she died March 3rd during open heart surgery and my father ( 79 1/2) has vision problems which make it difficult for him to sort thru her notes. As a result of the death cert for my 2ggrandfather James GRANT who died in Hancock Co., OH on 27 July 1914, I have learned that his parents were JOHN GRANT and Elizabeth TREMAYNE ( Tremaine) who probably lived in Clermont Co. at one time? Does anyone have information on these two families? James would probably have been born 1840-45 as Isabelle Ellis, his wife was born in Mercer Co., OH in 1844. Are there birth. death marriage records available in Clermont Co. which might help me? Does anyone have any of these families in his/her database) Thank you in advance for your time in this matter.

Hi Everyone, I thought I would let everyone on our list know that Uncle Bruce Sillett is in the Hospital. He has a large kidney stone that can not be passed but he has some heart problems which is preventing them from doing lazer surgery on the stone. So all we know at this point is that his kidney stone is nothing compared to his heart problem. He will be having bypass surgery that we know but the timing is uncertain at this point. If you would like to send him a get well card or something , I know he would whole-heartedly appreciate it. His home address is: Bruce Sillett 1371 Faye Road Loveland, Ohio 45140 He is currently at : Bethesda North Hospital 10500 Montgomery Rd Cincinnati, Ohio 45242 Room # 627 If they do his kidney stone surgery today then he will probably go home tomorrow and wait for the heart surgery. Please pray for Uncle Bruce, that he will come thru this all and be ok. Love and prayers, Jerilyn listowner
