Hello: The "Wheeler-Short" Cemetery received this "name" in 1957, when the Beech Grove Forest Chapter of the DAR was "listing" graveyards, and Rev War vets buried in same. This was actually the Short Family Cemetery, started upon the homeplace grounds of John (1759/61 - 1836) and Mary (1760 - 1839) Short Sr. John Short Sr had purchased the homeplace site of 150 acres, in 1813, from Browns, while still a resident of Washington, Mason Co Ky, and of Clermont Co Ohio. John Short Sr would later, 1814, sell 50 acres of said 150 acres, to newly widowed sister-in-law Darcus Short (of Isaac Short). This was 50 acres lying east of Lewis Road, except for triangle corner of the south east corner of the 100 acres. Later, Samuel Short, John's son would purchase the 100 acres on south of the 100 acres of kept homeplace. One could go about due west of Amelia, because of diagonal running of Ohio 125 and "hit" the graveyard; Lewis Road running about north and south. When John Short Sr die! d, 1836, he willed that son William Short take care of his mother and invalid sister, and he was to stay on homeplace. William Short died in 1846, and the heirs, then, half in Ohio, half in Indiana, sold out to the Frazee's. William Short's widow, Charlotte (Hall) Short managed to keep approx two and one half acres of the 100 acre homeplace for her and her children. Although John Short Sr's gravestone says born "1759", he, himself, said he was born "1761", in his 1832 Rev War Pension application. John's son Isaac, in 1853, again stuck to the 1759 date. Which is correct?, I do not know. In the 1959 Soldiers Of The American Revolution Who Lived In the State Of Ohio Roster III shows John Short Sr, and Roster II shows John Short Sr as a "Junior"; the latter being 100% incorrect. John Short Sr was son of Jacob Short Sr (died 1791 Va). I have seen John Short Sr's gravestone in the ground, have repaire! d same, have reset same, have observed same several times, have seen it piled under a tree in a back yard several times, have pictures of it , have "rubbings" made of it while still lying flat in ground homeplace graveyard, etc., etc. Having had to spend several attempts to locate the cemetery back in the early 1980's, I can attest to the fact that when found, there could be no mistake in it being a graveyard. I would never have found it by myself, nor without the help of the Coopers, and Robinsons. The Coopers had previously owned the land. Aside from the open cisterns, and such, the biggest enemy was the growth, shoulder high; and where the graveyard was located, all of the small trees, shoots, pokes, weeds, mixed in with the regular growth. A somewhat little path, about 18 inches wide was the "entrance" to the graveyard, but only then if you knew where it was, and it was only on the east side. By using the old measurements, the part of the old side/rear/south s! idewalk of the old home that had stood there, and then the grape arbor further south, and then a very faint "path" going south, one came to the "entrance" (which I passed up a dozen times, before being showed same by Mr Robinson.). My son, and I, would get to know the path, the entrance, and the other "clues" pretty well. We would also use the Old Large Broken Pine Tree (back toward old homesite), the half roofed shelter shed, on north, etc. as "points". When in the graveyard itself, most of the measurements, etc., were taken with back to the largest tree there, standing between the gravestones of Mary Tewel and Margaret Wheeler; example: going 50 feet north, toward old home site, was the gravestones of John Short Sr and Mary Short, each lying flat with about five to six inches of sod over them (as found by Cooper/Robinson). Later, when repairing. resetting, etc., these same "points" were used, and all found were set at same point as found. ! Among all of the readible stones, whether damaged, or not, were many other stones, marker stones, footstones (maybe of the German type), field stones, etc, which some had markings, scratches, carvings, inscriptions, and many were wore off or unreadible. I do not know for sure, nor can I prove/disprove some of those listed or indicated as being buried there, even though we came up with more than the "usual" listings. Mrs W. Earl Johnson, 1957, listed John Wheeler Sr as being buried there, and with a "marker stone". If that correct, and for what we took as same, there was broken pieces to add, but about only clue added would be that "died aged ???", and either "1841" or "1844"; the last number being "1" or "4". Although the graveyard site was approx 40 feet by 80 feet, or just a tad more, only the center was clear of the small but tangled brush, while one had to crawl to check out all of the surrounding stones/markers/etc. ! To find this graveyard completely wiped out in 1996, was a terrific blow, to history, and to genealogy. A few of the largest, readible stones, were saved at that time, and piled around a tree in the backyard of No. 174, 6.06 acres, 1313 Dorado Court, Amelia, Ohio. Hope this answers those questions. Take Care. Regards, Dick

I have birthdate as 2 Sept 1806. William and Margery married 1805. Yes, the Pension Records for Amanda (Wheeler) Behymer/Beckelhymer, as widow of Elijah, 1895, Terre Haute, Vigo Co Ind, MIGHT??? give more clues to Amanda herself??. The death records of Vigo Co Ind, Board of Health, clearly state Amanda (Wheeler) Behymer/Beckelhymer's "mother" as Lavina/Lovina Wheeler, and clearly DOES NOT state any info/vitals for "father", a father, not even with him being a "Wheeler', or that he ever existed. Take care. Regards, Dick

I have recently purchased a domain name in order to add additional materials to my web site. The new web address is http://mywoodfamily.us. There is a lot of information there on the WOOD, MANNING, THOMPSON, TURNER and other families from Clermont Co. Ohio. (I also have additional materials on the WOODs and MANNINGs that has not made it to the site yet so post your questions to the list.) Please stop by and take a look. Constructive comments would be appreciated. Thanks Walter Wood

Educated guess is that -Wiggins mention in application was Capt Robert Higgins, who led a company of Hampshire Co,WV men,and was captured. Higgins later owned the Ohio River bottom at Higginsport,Brown Co,Ohio [Clermont until 1818]

John Short Sr (1759/61 Md - 1836 Oh), son of Jacob and Mary Short Sr, served in the Rev War from Hampshire Co Virginia, and is buried in the ground of once "called" Wheeler - Short Cemetery", Clermont Co Ohio. His military records are held in the National Archives, both "selected", and "complete", and his original 1832 application is held at Clermont Co Ohio in Common Pleas Court Minutes. He did not serve a full minumum of six months, lacking about 10 days as close as I can figure it out; - - - - thus he received no pension, received no bounty land. We Americans are "odd" people, and all through history are only "generous" when we get our little skins frightened. Twice, in this approx period, we will try to rid the Rev War pension rolls of everyone possible, and save their 8 dollars per month. Just a short time later, his son, and others of the War of 1812 will only have t! o "see" 6 weeks service, to get a pension, plus 60 acres bounty land, plus another later 60 acres, but they will also have their problems. One of John's sons, Isaac Short, will try again for Johns "rewards", but will fail. John Short Sr will be listed with two birth years, 1759, and 1761; which is correct??, I cannot prove. "John Short Sr (1759/61 - 1836) entered service 1 June 1781 under the command of Capt Edward McCarty and Lt John Vendever. He was drafted first for three months, and then "organized" at Romney (Hampshire Co Va), marched from there to Winchester (Frederick Co Va), and to Falmoth, and from there to Fredericksburg. Started the British to run to Williamsburg, and held up about 3 miles from town, stayed there about 2 weeks. Met with the French Army there. While at Williamsburg, commanded by Gen. Lee, a fat man. Marched to the college at Williamsburg, expecting attack, etc. They were just a small detachment of th! e whole army. Met up with the main army just right of Williamsburg about a half of a mile. Expecting attacks that still did not come. Went from there to close to town and an old mill, staying there several days. Then with about 50 others, under Leut command, went to the mill, and took all of the British flour stored there. Capt Cunningham in full command. On one occassion, was with the Light Horse under LaFayette, watching the movements of the British; remained probably a month. He knew Capt Wiggans, and old Gen Morgan who commanded the riflemen. He was with him at Williamsburg, and with Col Dark who was also with Morgan at same place. From thence marched down to Little Fort at Yorktown and surrounded the place and bombarded it and ???????? before it untill Cornwallis surrendered. After Cornwallis surrender, marched up in charge of prisoners to the west of Manchester to a piece of ground that belonged to Darlington which he wanted cleared. Had a regular discharge issued by Captain! but lost it a number of years ago." Hope this answers your query. Take care. Regards, Dick

Hi All, I am looking the parents my great Aunt Venus Manning Wood. I do not know her maiden name but she married Elmer Jerome MANNING before 1938. He died prior to 1945 when she married my great Uncle Carl Erwin WOOD. I know Uncle Carl was born in Clermont Co They live their final years in Clermont Co in 1874. They retired to Clermont Co before 1954 where he studied the WOOD family history. Carl died in 1959 and Venus died in 1970. Does anyone know what Venus' maiden name was and who her parents were? There are photos of Carl and Venus on my web site at http://mywoodfamily.us. Thanks Walter Wood

Adam Fisher, father of the Hon. David Fisher, of Mt. Holly, was born in 1750, near Philadelphia, and was the son of a German emigrant. He married Susannah Jones, sister of Thos. Jones, also a revolutionary soldier. He served eighteen months in the war and his descendants in Clermont have his discharge papers attesting his good soldierly qualities. His life was well depicted in a recent number of the Courier, giving an interview with his distinguised son. Thomas Jones was from Pennsylvania and served in Wayne's brigade. He was the brother in law of Adam Fisher, the father of the venerable Hon. David Fisher. He settled in Washington township and died on Indian creek in 1827. His sons, George and Henry, died in that township; Anthony lived in Felicity, and David and John removed to Indiana. John Charles Tippet [email protected]

Dear Hermon, Thank you for the information regarding Jacob Light's family ties to the Conestoga area of Lancaster, PA.

Dear "Site", Irene, John, Dennis, and any interested parties, plus the two Hist and one Gene Soc.: Once more, it it helps anyone. By all indications known to me, the Lavina/Lovina Wheeler of the records in question, is indicated to be the same Lovina/Lavina as listed in Wheeler descendent documents/records as a daughter of William and Margery (Thompson) Wheeler (both buried in the backyard off of Lewis Road, listed as the "Wheeler-Short Cemetery by DAR). She is shown later, and still unmarried. Wheeler descendent document/record says "never married". Did she? I don't know. Lavina/Lovina Wheeler was in "the middle of all the action" in the area when about half of the Beckelhymers, and Shorts, and Wests, and Epperts, and the rest, kept running back and forth between Clermont Co Ohio and Clay/Vigo Co Ind. Elijah Beckelhymer, son of Jo! hn Abraham Beckelhymer and Margaret Short, married 2 Feb 1845 Clermont Co Ohio, to Amanda Wheeler. There are "tons" of documents, records, family histories, county histories, etc., that prove this Elijah Beckelhymer. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although there is, twice, 1860, and 1870, a listing for a young female in the household of Elijah and Amanda (Wheeler) Beckelhymer, there is no record that they ever had any children, even "died infant". 1860 Vigo Ind "Maria 11 Germany". 1870 Vigo Ind "Isabella 11 Mo". Amanda (Wheeler) Beckelhymer, herself, on census, lists "mother of none", "none living". Amanda (Wheeler) Beckelhymer obit says "no relatives" in Terre Haute. She still had intermarried "relatives". Elijah and Amanda (Wheeler) Beckelhymer had the usual corruptions of their name, such as Bhymer, Behamer, Behymer, Behimer, etc., plus Aman! da was even called "Mary" in the 1860 census (if I recall correctly?). BUT as stated, no question as to Elijah's individual identification, or to who belonged to, etc., - - - - - or to "indicated" mother of Amanda. Elijah Beckelhymer, born 5 Jan 1826, Clermont Co Ohio. Amanda Wheeler born "June 1828 Ohio"; as per listing, but yet to be proved/disproved by me?. Elijah Behymer served from Vigo Co Ind in the Civil War, lastly with Veterans Corp, Co C 11th Ind Regt. I do not know if he applied for a pension, or not, but his widow, Amanda (Wheeler) Behymer DID!! She applied from Terre Haute, Vigo Co Ind, 31 July 1895, showing herself as Elijah's widow, Application Number 619,587, Certificate Number 448,624, State From Which Served - Indiana, Elijah Behymer, Co C 11th Indiana Infantry. AND THE ABOVE RECORD IS THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE SECURED BY ANY TRULY INTERESTED "Wheeler"RE! SEARCHER, - - - - - ABOUT AMANDA (Wheeler) BEHYMER. THIS CAN BE SECURED FROM NATIONAL ARCHIVES, or maybe even through the internet by an "angel"?. OF COURSE, for the record, one always asks for the "complete records", or "all of the records", and NEVER for only the "selected records", - - - - - - - - if one wants all of the chances for "clues".

New Richmond's founder,Jacob Light,sti;ll had brothers on the wastern Lancaster-western Chester Co ,Pa line.Their father,John Light ,had moved to Berkeley [Morgan ?] Co,Va [WV] in the early 1770's,but did not take his entire family from the headwaters Conistoga sp? creek. Yes,the wagons of the same name were made there for the trade routes west of Philadelphia 1st,and then later,used along the Platte River westward to California,Utah, and Oregon,

Ed: I have a Thomas Herron, b. circa 1818 in OH in my database. He married first Sarah Ann Hancock circa 22 May 1843 and second Lydia Behymer on 15 Feb 1857. Both marriages took place in Clermont Co. He died in 1871 and is buried in the Amelia IOOF Cemetery. The children by his first wife were: John, b. circa 1845; William, b. circa 1849; Louisa, b. circa 1852 and Oscar, b. circa 1856. The children by his second wife were: Joan, b. 19 Nov 1858; Hasselteen V, b. 1862; Edgar L, b. Oct 1866; Ollie, b. circa 1869 and ?, d. before 1900.

When New Richmond became the county-seat, the sons established a weekly county paper, called it the “Luminary” and placed at its head the motto - “Enlightened minds and virtuous manners lead to the gates of glory”. They also published a monthly magazine - “The Columbian Historian” - one of the earliest of its kind.

" It would be helpful to know more about the "former neighbors" from Lancaster County, PA who encouraged John HERRON to settle in Clermont County. John HERRON's younger daughter, Rebecca, married Moses Raredin, son of Timothy Raredin. Are there any Methodist records for this area and time frame? Regards, Ed HERRON

If they went the 2nd half the way by wagon along the Platte,they likely went down the Ohio and up the Mississippi and Missouri by stamboat.The later they returned, the more likely they returned by rail. We here in Clermont Co,Ohio have few long droughts in the growing season. Aug,-Sept 1954 was one drouht year. Bethel-Tate schools opened a month late because the village water supply was too low. A 2nd,long drought was about 1990. My corn was planted on moist ground,then had no rain until nearly harvest. TV this am said Maysville,Mason Co,Ky was limiting lawn watering this year because of lack of rain. We at Bethel have had several recent rains.
