For Olive Branch Cemetery, get off I-275 onto Rt. 32 EAST toward Batavia and go about 3 miles. At the intersection of Old State Rt. 74 (gas station on corner) turn right. This takes you into Olive Branch (crossroad with a an old church, now closed) At the intersection of Old State Rt. 74 and Stonelick-Olive Branch, turn left. The cemetery is the first driveway on your left. I have also looked for the "Old Cemetery on Clutterbuck Farm" and have never found it. Amy

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=decimal&latitude=39.007&longi tude=-84.138 John, this is a link to mapquest, with Old Bethel Cemetery pintpointed on it. It is inside East Fork State Park now. From I-275, you would take Rt. 125 East toward Bethel, but not quite that far. Watch for Rt. 222 to come into 125 from the North, dog-leg along 125, and then, where 222 turns south, YOU GO NORTH, but I don't remember what the road is called. At the first left, turn into the park. Stay on that road for about a mile and you will see the Old Bethel Church (aka Collins Chapel) on your left. The cemetery is right behind it. Amy Schneider

Hi Hermon, I wonder if the old album you saw helps identify any of the "unidentified" pictures I showed you (or sent a while back)? Ever hopeful, Pat hot Massachusetts

Mouse died. Killed computer. Off-line 3 plus weeks. New mouse. Computer woeks again. Saw old albumn of Salt-Justice,Dalton,Coffin pictures while fighting mildew. Ray's parents.etc,etc

Thank you for the response on my question for CASTER (Actually, CARTER) & EDWARDS marriage in Ohio 1838 or 1839. Betty

Dear Carol, Ann, John (of course), and etc.: Being somewhat more that stupid, this mention of a "link", or a "linc", or such, always makes me believe that I am bucking some of the slick words associated with the use of this gadget. Of course, starting it with a capital letter, and the adding the surname "Short", changes the whole outlook; - - - - - but not mine, as I still have that excessive degree of stupidity. Anyway, "Linc", or "Link", if used as per name or nickname, which isn"t often, one finds that almost without fail, the person was born after the 1850's, and it is "short" for "Lincoln". Around Clermont Co Ohio area, late 1700's and on, even upto the later 1800's, there seems to have been only three lines of Shorts, and one of these (represented by one person) I was never able to identify. The second bunch was that of brothers John and Isaac Short, moving from Hampshire ! Co Va to Washington/Mason Co Ky in 1797/8, and then skipping across the Ohio River into Clermont Co Ohio ca 1806. The third bunch, though not residents of Clermont Co Ohio, had some "business" there, plus in Hamilton Co, Butler Co, Montgomery Co, Brown Co, Cincy proper, and half of Kentucky; this was the William Sr, William Jr, Peyton, etc., Shorts, of eastern Va, Wash DC, and KY. Having not delved into those last Shorts for a while, I am not sure, but believe you will find the Link Short as part of the Ky bunch? Will need to dig out some old old records. Any more clues that any of you have? Thanks. Take care. Dick

I have a Mary Melvin married to a William Davis. Mary was born around 1823. They lived in Clermont County. I cant seem to find a connection to her and the other Melvins of the area. There are several Melvins including Stephen in the Neville cemetery. Rose

Hi I have lines from a couple of books regarding Christian Plackard's role in the Revolutionary War from a friend. Also have part of the Plikard-Plackard Family History that is not very clear, and a couple of invitations to their family reunions. As so his children, Susan DeBrunner has them listed on her "Susan's Place". I can't get to her address at the moment, but you probably have it. I did get a little information from the Census. If I come across anything shortly, I will let you know.
