Marilyn, I am hoping you or someone else has access to a Clermont Co. newspaper and can do a lookup for me. My ggrandfather, William "Alpheus" Cornwell, of Clermont Co. was struck and killed by either a trolly car or train on 18 July 1898. I don't know if there were trollys or trains in the Bethel or Olive Branch area at that time. He may have been visiting relatives in Cincinnati and gotten killed there. Wherever it happened, I assume it would have been written up in the local paper and I would love to have a copy of the article. If no one has this info but can tell me where to write, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much. Janine

John, I've looked through an awful lot of material from the Behymer Collection and I think it's there for reference, however I don't know if this at the library is all of his material or not.

Does anyone with Carter information have anything on George Washington (Wash) Carter in reference to an arson (in Williamsburg?) about 1910-1915? Eileen Blair

25 April 1877 Clermont Sun Newspaper, published at Batavia, OH News from FELICITY--------------- The telephone fever has somewhat abated. The epidemic was so virulent during the greater part of last week that most business suspended and croquet was abandoned entirely. The latter, however, has resumed and the prospects are now very good for a busy season. (This must be an inside joke) Dr. GIBSON has sold his tin, stove and hardware business to Mr. O. F. SILCOTT, lately from West Union, who will continue the business at the old stand under the firm name of O. F. SILCOTT & Co. Messrs. SILCOTT and HEWETT are also engaged in the marble business, to which business they call the attention of the public. Mr. HEWETT is a skillful workman and his artistic and executive ability is second to few. Our old friend and fellow citizen, S. D. GIBSON, Esq. who has been practicing law in Danville, Iowa for the past two years, is with us again. He is suffering from the effects of a recent amputation of his left arm. Yet he manifests his usual vivacity and is as loquacious as ever. M.r C. D. GRIFFITY, a young merchant of Paris, Illinois is visiting our place, strengthening the slight acquaintance heretofore made with Miss FLORA and FRANK P. FEE. Mr. GRIFFITH brings favorable reports from our old friend R. S. MCKINLEY, Esq. now a member of the Illinois Legislature. Lieutenant R. G. ARMSTRONG of the 1st U. S. Infantry Regiment is at present sojourning with us on sick leave under the treatment of Dr. GIBSON. - ----------------------------------- 9 January 1878 Clermont Sun Newspaper MT. CARMEL News--------------------- The C. & P. R. R. re-elected the old board with the addition of E. G. PENN. Instead of three daily trains we now have but one. The N. R. branch is getting along finely. The contractor is giving the road Goss. Trains are expected at Tobasco by the 25th. Our Baptist and Granger neighbors netted $160 from the holiday fair. We are glad to note that our clever friend, ANDY DAVIS, has about recovered from his broken limb. He's a top-top violinist and a red-hot Democrat. Business is extremly dull in Squire HILL's court. Only one case in the past month. Our schools are in a flourishing condition under the efficient management of Prof. WILLIAMSON, assisted by Mrs. A. D. KYLE and Miss LAURA RICE. The school building is first class and our schools are in better condition than ever before. On December 21st and 22nd the scholars gave the best exhibition we ever witnessed. The house was crowded each night and the entertainment was far superior to any given heretofore, being highly creditable to both teachers and scholars. The splendid music of the orchestra led by A. C. DAIVS enlivened the exercises. The two best dramas were "Dick Turpin" and "Tom King" and "The Last Loaf". Prof. WILLIAMSON impersonated "Tom King" with much ease and perfectly. WILL VANCE a fine looking young man, good voice and gesticulation, played his part like a veteran. Squire HILL as drunken John Smith did exceedingly well. Yet the Squire never was on a "beat". As a whole the entertainment was good. - ------------------------------ 9 January 1978 Clermont Sun Newspaper Local Correspondence STONELICK-------------------------- T. C. TEAL has completed his new barn which is the neatest one in the county. Mr. A. DUCKETT and family of Indianapolis are visiting natives and friends in this vicinity.

The entertainment consisted of dialogues, declarations, tablaux, music etc. closing with a drama entitled "The Double Ghost". New receipts $20. which was invested in books. MIAMIVILLE-------------------- Ex.treasurer ROBINSON visited his aged mother last week. Professor RIGGS of the Williamsburg schools spent the holidays with his mother. LEWIS BUCKINGHAM left on Wednesday last for Akron Ohio where he will attend college this winter. Dr. TERWILLEGAR recently removed to Milford where he will follow his profession.

I am curious if anyone has any information on the above families. I am missing a generation (I think) in my family tree, but have hit a brick wall that doesn't want to crumble at this time. I know that they are probably buried in the Mt Pisgah Cemetary between Amelia and New Richmond. I have transcribed the cemetary list but there seems to be some missing pieces. That I can;t find. Looking for relatives that were buried after the 1920's to present. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

a while back I saw a web site where you can purchase cd's of the census. I can't find the address. Does anyone have it? Thanks.

Date: 4/6/00 1:45:01 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: dwdwone@direct.ca (DW) To: NJATLANT-L@rootsweb.com Hi all, I was sent this by a fellow researcher and thought it might be something you all might recognize in your own searches....

Fellow Behymer researchers: I believe that noted Behymer researcher, Ralph Behymer, donated his research papers to the Clermont County historical society. I believe they meet at the Library in Batavia, OH. Does anyone know if the library will let researchers examine Ralph's material, or if they will take requests to look for particular items that a researcher might be interested in?

Primarily, did he have 2 grandchildren named Levi Stultz and 2 named Henry F Stultz who were alive around the time of the Civil War? One Levi married Milner and the other married Jones. One Henry F married Weaver and the other married Beckleheimer. The answers to these queries would solve a lot conflicts in my ancestor research. We are trying to get up there in about a month.

In the spring of 1787, Bazel Boren is enumerated with his brothers John and William in the Davidson County, Tennessee, tax list, but shortly thereafter, removed with his family to Bryan’s Station, Kentucky where he resided until 1789, near his father‑in-­law, Morgan Bryan II. Little is known of his activities hero except for the following: “Petition No. 54…Your petitioners are induced again from the hardships and disadvantages they labor under; by being con­nected with the county of Bourbon. Your petitioners live in the Limestone settlements near the Ohio River and are detached from every other inhabitant of said county - at least thirty miles, ex­cept a small settlement at the Blue Licks, etc…We your peti­tioners therefore do pray that a division of said county be made...from Blue Licks...to Russell County line...to Boon’s Creek…to Stoner’s Fork…to the Kentucky River…etc.” 40 The above petition was dated August 25, 1787 and signed by, among others, “Bazal Borns”. The following letter was written while Bazel Boren yet resided in Fayette County near Bryan’s Station, and is self-explanatory: “Five pound reward. Edward M. Dole left Cumberland on the 10th inst. (February) with a horse which he stole (description of horse and man follows)…whoever apprehends is the said thief and horse, and secures them so that the owner may, get his horse again, shall receive the above reward; or if the thief he committed to jail, and the horse delivered to the care of Mr. Morgan Bryan of Fayette County, or Sir. Andrew Laver of Linn County shall rec­eive the reward (signed) John Boren.” 41 The year 1790 saw Bazel Boren back in Tennessee, active in civil and military affairs too numerous to recount in this limited space. In 1791, following the organization of Tennessee as a territory with William Blount as governed the following record is noted: “Gen. Daniel Smith, 1791, Mar. 7 - June 14 at the treaty ground (King’s Mountain). List of persons appointed by Governer Blount and changes in military and civil officers in Tennessee: Bennett Searcy, Thomas Johnson 42...Samuel Donelson, Henry Johnson (father of Thomas), John Montgomery, Basil Boran...”43 In ???? Tennessee was formed into a state and a constitutional convention was held at Knoxville, and the delegates to the conven­tion from Robertson Country newly formed, were: Thomas John­son, James Ford, William Fort, William Prince and Robert Prince. No mention is made of Bazel Boren, but a notation in the Robert­son County, Tennessee court record states: “and that Bazil Boren be appointed a delegate to the Constitutional Convention at Knoxville…” with no further mention of whether or not he at­tended. What is known is that Bazel Boren was appointed at this conven­tion as the first justice and register of the newly formed Robert­son County, Tennessee, together with his brothers William, John, Stephen and Moses who all held some office, as did his brother Francis Boren. Stephen and Moses Boren were the first con­stables. 44 The following letter (paraphrased) was written to Morgan Bryan II by Mary Bryan McMahan, sister of Susannah Bryan Boren: “To Mr. Morgan Bryan living in Virginia (Kentucky) Fayette County near Lexonton These North Carolina Roan County September the 16th 1793 Honoured Father and Mother I gladly embrace this opportunity of letting you know that we are all in good health at present. We received your letter by the hand of Mr. Enoch Bryan hearing of your health gave us much Satisfaction also hearing of piece and plenty in your parts of the Country…Weather very bad the wet not permitting us to work our crops…vet we are blest with plenty…I received a letter from Bazel Boren with much satisfaction dated June the 29 which says they are all well…your affectionate children till death Samuel McMahan and Mary McMahan Please to let brother Morgin know that I have sent to him by Enoch Bryan three dollars and a half…rental monies, etc.”45 In 1800, Morgan Bryan, Susannah’s brother, sold the last of his land in Tennessee to Bazel Boren.46 Bazel continued to be the dominant figure in county records of Robertson County, Tennes­see, until the clear 1809 at which time he resigned his commission as register and removed faith his family to Johnson County, Illinois. The children born to Bazel and Susannah Boren were as follows: 1) Mary born Sept. 1778, md. 10 Jacob Young 2) Willis Boren (son of John Boren and Sarah Alley; Willis died in Utah). 2) Sarah (Sally) born 1785, md. William Dorris 3) John md. Lydia Chapman 4) Nancy md. James W. Hogan 5)Susannah md. William Spears 6) Martha 7) Morgan Bryan Boren born 1795, md. Anne Lathum, died 1851. 8) Bazel Jr. md. Cassandra Boren, sister of Willis. 9) Tinney 10) Rebecca born 15 May 1807 Robertson County, Tennessee died 9 June, 1868 in Texas; md 1) Lewis Lathum 2) James Kolb 11) Coleman Bryan born 14 Oct. 1808 Robertson County, Tennessee, died 13 May 1858, Provo Utah: md. 1) Malinda Keller, 2) Flora Maria Kingsley. 12) Mourning md. Matthew Waters, Jr. in McCracken County, Kentucky. There may have been other children. Some sources list Israel Boren as one who accompanied his sister Rebecca (names for Daniel Boone’s wife) to Texas and there married a Commanche Indian woman. He was supposedly hanged for having murdered a man with an axe during a feud. Bazel Boren resided in Johnson County, Illinois, until his death, which occurred in 1812. His wife, Susannah, petitioned for the care of the “two infant children, Mourning and Coleman”. The climax to Bazel Boren’s career as a Long Hunter and explorer came about when Daniel Boone, on a return visit to Kentucky in 1810, set out to locate all of his old friends and companions, such as Michael Stoner in Wayne County, Kentucky, and Simon Kenton in Indiana. On this visit, Boone stopped at the home of Bazel Boren in Illinois and before leaving, left Bazel his trusty old dog “Neddy”, named no doubt for Boone’s brother, Edward “Neddy” Boone who was killed by Indians in 1780. The old dog gained fame when he “saved the early settlers from marauding panthers.” 47 The author of this account is the grandson of William Coleman Boren, son of Coleman Bryan Boren, who in turn was the youngest son of Bazel and Susannah Boren. Bazel Boren’s grave has never been located, and while his widow was residing in Union County, Illinois in 1818, she was absent from the 1820 census. Coleman Boren married as his first wife, Malinda Keller, born in Rowan County, North Carolina. These had met at a dance in Un­ion County, Illinois and were married there in 1830. Shortly thereafter, Coleman Boren joined the Mormons and suffered the persecutions endured by them in Missouri. He was appointed by Brigham Young as President of the Pisgah (Iowa) Branch of the Church and came to Utah in 1851 settling in Provo, Utah Valley. Here he died in 1858 after serving in the Indian wars. His second (polygamous) wife was Flora Maria Kingsley, who was the great grandmother of this writer. The Boren family is steeped in the traditions of pioneering and exploring. Coleman Boren named one of his sons Albert Boone Boren, in honor of Daniel Boone, and this family pioneered Utah, Arizona and points west. Francis Boren, brother of Bazel Boren, was the grandfather of Carson Dobbins Boren, founder of Seattle, Washington. Other Boren’s were pioneers of Texas, California, Oregon; and numerous descendants live in these regions today. The Boren families, whose traditions originate in Southwest Virginia, have not been well known, but will, because of their accom­plishments, not soon be forgotten.

As he watched the camp of two Indians, one of the braves arose and walked towards him and Man­sker was forced to shoot. The Indian turned and ran about fifty yards past his own camp and fell dead over a bluff into the river. The other Indian fled the camp hurriedly. Mansker returned to his companions and they gathered up their camp and went back to the Indian camp only to discover that the second Indian had gathered up his belongings and left. They knew that if the Indian reached his tribe and gave warning, their lives would be forfeit, and so the men tracked him throughout the night and following day but, unable to come up to him, they left the country, returning to Boonesborough. 27 In 1776, due to Indian hostilities in Kentucky, many of the families returned to their homes in North Carolina and on the Clinch River, Virginia. The reminiscences of George Bryan (Bazel Boren’s brother-in-law), to be found in the Draper collection, informs us that his brother Morgan Bryan III and “several others of my kinsmen” went to explore the Cumberland in Tennessee and “the country westward” with Daniel Boone in 1776. Although space does not permit a full recounting of the information, there is evidence, which shows that an incredible event may have taken place during this period. Apparently, Daniel Boone and others of his companions including possibly Bazel Boren (inasmuch as they were together in the westward party) explored to the headwaters of the Missouri River in what is now the state of Idaho! A tree exists to this date, recently preserved from that location, bearing the inscription: “D. Boon 1776”. George Bryan’s reminiscences give us further information about this period of time: “My father (Morgan Bryan II), my brother James and others had been out in 1775 through the Green River country, in the barrens and in Tennessee exploring. My brother James had been out nine months and had remained on Clinch, when the others went in…Boone was here three months alone without horse, dog, or friend. He was in the wild country of the west…” 28 In February, 1777, an old French trapper of New Orleans recited how with surprise he encountered at “Deacon’s Pond” on the Cumberland River, near the present town of Palmyra, in Montgomery County, Tennessee, 29 an “encampment of six white men and one white woman who made their way through to the upper waters of the Cumberland at the end of the preceding year, and there built them a boat and floated down some four hundred miles to Palmyra and landed. What became of them afterward tradition says not…” 30 History has never been kind enough to reveal the name of the mysterious white woman – the first in west Tennessee – but one wonders seriously if it was not Susannah Bryan who married Bazel Boren sometime in 1777 and may have accompanied him on this journey. There can be little doubt that this party was that mentioned by George Bryan in the Draper Manuscript as his kin who went out to “explore the Green River country and the barrens in Tennes­see” that season. From George Bryan we learn the identity of some, while speculation and circumstantial evidence tells us the others: Gasper Mansker, Bazel Boren. Morgan Bryan, Sr. and Jr., Thomas Kilgore and Wilson Hunt, who comprise the “six white men”, while James Bryan, as George Bryan attested, returned af­ter nine months in Tennessee and was not sighted by the old French trapper. In February 1777, the Indians attacked Boonesborough and began a series of depredations, which lasted several years. In the spring of 1778, Daniel Boone was captured and carried away, during which time Rebecca Bryan Boone returned to North Car­olina with her relatives and Bazel Boren returned apparently to the Clinch River settlements. In 1777, Bazel Boren and Susannah Bryan were married, probably in Washington County, Virginia (the marriage records were destroyed) and in the same year, Babel Boren is listed as one of those commissioned as a lieutenant of the militia. 31 The first child born to Bazel and Susannah Boren was Mary Boren, born September 1778. Sometime during this period, Baz­el was also joined in Washington County, Virginia, by his brother, John Boren, who married Sarah Alley, daughter of Peter Alley of Washington County. In March 1779, Bazel Boren accompanied his brother‑in‑law George Bryan and others to the Elkhorn in Kentucky where they planted corn and cleared land until May. In July they returned for their families and brought them to Kentucky and in September of that year, Susannah’s parents, Morgan and Mary Bryan came out. By late fall, seventy families were on the Elkhorn, over four hundred in member, the nucleus of the settlement which became famous as “Bryan’s Station”. Susannah remained on the Clinch until July, for George Bryan relates: “William Bryan brought one daughter, single, and William Grant brought his wife and also a single daughter...these were all the women that came out in the Spring...” 32 Bazel Boren remained at Bryan’s Station through the winter of 1779 - 1780 and took tip land in what became Bourbon County. The Indians attacked Martin’s and Russell’s Stations in the late summer of 1780 and the families once again returned to the Clinch and to North Carolina for protection. Bazel Boren, together with his father-in-law, Morgan Bryan II and Morgan’s brothers James Bryan, fought at the bloody Battle of King’s Mountain, October 7, 1780. Bazel Boren was a lieuten­ant under Captain William Edmondson (killed) and Captain James Dysart of Col. William Campbell’s Virginia Regiment. Captain Dysart was a Long Hunter and close associate of both Bazel Karen and the Kilgore’s. Thomas Kilgore, who had remained in Tennessee, living in a cave, traveled all the way to Virginia to participate in the battle with his five sons: Charles, Hiram, Robert, William, and James. Hiram Kilgore was killed, Charles and Robert both wounded. Even more ironic was the fact that Samuel Bryan, brother of Morgan William, James and John Bryan and an uncle of Susannah Bryan Boren, was a Tory Colonel, in command of the North Car­olina Tory Regiment, which fought against Samuel’s own brothers at King’s Mountain. John Bryan was killed by Col. Edward Fan­ning upon information provided by his brother, Samuel Bryan, and a desperate feud persisted between the brothers. Space does not permit a full recounting of the battle which has been covered in many other accounts, but suffice it to say that Bazel Boren so displaced his courage in this combat with Fergus­on’s British troops that “Boren’s River” near the battleground was named for him (now called Broad River). Following the Battle of King’s Mountain, Morgan and James Bryan returned to their families at Bryan’s Station, Kentucky, while Bazel Boren apparently returned to the Clinch River where file appears upon many records between 1780 - 1782. Sometime during this period, as we have noted, Bazel Boren was joined in Washington County, Virginia by his father, Charles Bor­en, and brothers William and John Boren and probably others. The following records of Washington County are of particular interest: “6 May 1782 - William Boren enters 100 acres on Grassy Creek, waters of Copper Creek, being the place where said Boren lives.” 33 “29 May 1782 - James Dysart enters 100 acres on waters of Copper Creek taking in a large spring on the road going from Charles Boren’s to the Clinch.” 34 “18 June 1782 - Alexander Ritchie 300 acres on north side of Copper Creek including the Big Spring and on both sides of the road leading from (Patrick) Porter’s Mill to Boren’s Fort to include Kilgore’s Camp.” 35 “30 August 1782 – Thomas Alley, assignee of Peter Alley, 150 acres of land on waters of Copper Creek, joining the lines of Basil Boren’s lines to include the mouth of Big Branch, the mouth of Grassy Creek and up the creek for improvement.” 36 On November 20, 1782, Thomas Faires and Bazel Boren were again recommended for lieutenants of militia. 37 Tax lists and other records show John and William Boren who apparently arrived from Caswell County, North Carolina, between 1780-1782.” 38 Space does not permit a recounting of the court and other records concerning these persons in Washington County, Virginia. In 1782, Thomas Kilgore organized a company of men to accompany him back to Tennessee for settlement in the Red River country where they had explored some years before on several occasions. We know the names of some of these persons, most of whom were from the Clinch River: Bazel Boren, William Boren, John Boren, Charles Boren (others of the family). Martin Duncan, Morgan Bryan III, Charles Kilgore, Moses Maulden, Ambrose Maulson, Samuel Mason, Josiah Hankins, William Crabtree, “and sever other families”. They arrived in the latter part of the year 1783 and erected a fort called “Kilgore’s Station” near Sulphur Fork of the Red River. Thomas Kilgore remained ever afterward and died on his farm where he had first lived in a cave. He is buried in Villines Cemetery, Robertson County, Tennessee and his tombstone reads: “Thomas Kilgore – Major N.C. Mil. Rev. War 1715-1823, having died at the age of 108 years.” In 1784 Col. John Montgomery and Col. Martin Armstrong founded the town of Clarksville, Montgomery County, Tennessee, and shortly afterward the town of Palmyra was founded. Bazel and Stephen Boren becoming among the first lot purchasers. In nearby Sumner County, Gasper Mansker founded Mansker’s Station and Morgan Bryan III (brother of Susannah Bryan Boren) took up land adjoining Bazel Boren and soon after there was Renfro’s Station and Prince’s Station and several other settlements. The new settlers formed a militia and government and called it Mero District, the first justices of which were Col. John Montgomery, Bazel Boren, Andrew Jackson (later president of the United States). Archibald Roane, Samuel Donelson (a brother of Rachel Donelson, wife of Andrew Jackson) and others. The first cases brought before this court concerned Andrew Jackson and a horse and the widow Stewart in which William Boren was a witness. 39 Continued Part 2

To Clermont Co List- Could someone tell me the location of the Olive Branch Cemetery in Clermont Co. and, if possible, a point-of-contact for someone who might have burial records for this cemetery? I'm trying to identify which of my MEGUIRE ancestors are buried there. The ALHN Clermont Co. website lists cemetery lot owners including several MEGUIRE lots, but does not identify specific burials. Any help would be appreciated. Patrick Meguire (pmeguire@aol.com, new to list) Bellingham, MA
