Patricia: Thomas Ballard may have served in the Revolutionary War, but he is not listed in the series of articles appearing in either the Clermont Courier or Clermont Sun in July 1885. These are the ones I have been transcribing for this list. BTW: it just occured to me that July 4 is just around the corner. This would seem to be an appropriate thing to do at this time of year.

Edward Morin came from Virginia and settled in the Ferguson settlement, near New Richmond. He was the father of Rodham Morin, who served under Wayne in 1794 against the Indians and who fell from a boat in 1830 at Cincinnati and was drowned. Captain Morin served in Harry Lee's light horse brigade. James Shaw served under General John Neville, and was at Trenton, Germantown and Brandywine. He came to Kentucky in 1790, and three miles from New Richmond purchased big tracts of land. His eldest son, Hon. John Shaw, lived in Clermont after 1800, and his father passed much of his time on the Ohio side of the river. Levi Tingley settled on Poplar creek in Tate in 1804, and two years later opened a tannery, which he carried on until his death in 1832. He was in the New Jersey troops. His sons were Jacob, who died at sea, and Benjamin, who was in the war of 1812. John Charles Tippet johntippet@cox.net

Thank you, John, for your generous offer! Your efforts are greatly appreciated! I would be interested if you haven't already given the bios for the following: Edward Morin, James Shaw, and Levi Tingley. Thank you! -Judy

Thanks, Dick, for the information! Is there a listing of those buried at the now destroyed Short Cemetery? -Judy

Alexander Buchanan's daughter, Jane, was married to William DICKSON, often misspelled as Dixon. Jane and William Dickson had 2 sons: (1) Joseph Dickson who married Susannah Camnerra in 1819 in Clermont Co. (2) Thomas Douglas Dickson first married Susanna Derry (dau. of Jacob Derry), then in July 1821 (Clermont 2-3) married Margaret Barkley. Thomas, like many in those days, was illiterate. I'm not sure how Margaret was related to Hugh Barkley. In 1821, Thomas and Margaret Dickson sold some land to Hugh Barkley. I've tracked them to Edgar Co., IL, and have some data about their offspring that I would be glad to share. -Judy In a message dated 6/25/2005 10:15:16 PM Central Daylight Time, OHCLERMO-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: Alexander Buchanan emigrated to America in 1764, and settled in Washington county, Pennsylvania. He was an own cousin to the ex-President Buchanan, who located in Lancaster, the same State. In 1792 he emigrated to Mason county, Kentucky, in 1796 to the mouth of Bullskin in Franklin township, and in 1799 to Washington township, where he died in 1802, his wife following him in 1812. His son, William, was the first permanent settler in Washington township, having come over from Kentucky in the summer of 1795. Alexander's children wre William Alexander, jr, Robert, James, John, married to Margaret, daughter of Thomas Fee, and father of the present Representative, Andrew, the old coroner, and Jane, married to William Dixon,

From memory. Amos Smith was an original officer of Clermont Co,1800, living,likely on Happy Hollow Rd or nearby Clover Creek. DAR says Houghton Smith,of n e Williamsburg,and John Smith,of Butler Co,sw most Ohio were brothers. I think they were from old Hunterdan Co,NJ-THOUGH PERHAPS THE SECTION NOW IN Mercer Co,NJ I've always thought William Smith,who married Peter Light's daughter was Amos Smith's son. Wm and wife are buried in Clover Cemetary. Williamsburg township had several Smith families early. Maybe 50 % of Clermont's Smith's. One was a Rev War pension applicant,who left his wife in Williamsburg,and moved to Batavia wirh another woman,where he applied, His application was contested by friends of his former wife. I'm guessing. Obediah Smith,perhaps.

Only Ezekiah Hutchison seperated Wm and Lucretia Johnson,married Tom's River,NJ shore from John Smith,in Jackson township,Clermont. Eleanor Smith,of Wm and Lucretia,married her 1st cousin,William Johnson Ashton,in abt 1817. Ashton 1 room school has just been removed to w Georgetown, Brown Co to be rebuilt. Benjamin Smith m Eleanor Irons,about 1756,at Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co,NJ ,WERE wM'S PARENTS. John Smith sold,in 1815,lands between Weymouth Furnace and Mays Landing,now Atlantic Co,NJ and bought a big tract around Cornelius Washburn and son-in-law, Cornelius Harlow's 200 acres on the East Fork 5 miles north of Williamsburg,Clermont. George Smith m Charity,and Daniel Smith m Rachel Hutchison,and a Jedediah Smith were John's sons. Rev Evi Dailey was a son-in-law. 15 adults,born Leeds,were part of the Atlantic Co,NJ Jersey colony. Leeds Point,NJ,AND COLLINS mill,NJ were very close to Smithville,NJ,WHERE 'HUNTING" John Smith and his nee Smith wife moved from Long Island about 1700. Mississippi Sippy Smith lived near Old Bethel Methodist and Bantam,Clermont. Williamsburg township had several Smith's early.

You're right, as usual, Hermon. My Charles M. Smith was the nephew of your Charles & Mary (Coates) Moore. Charles M. Smith's mother, Rachel Coates/Smith, was the half sister of Mary Coates/Moore. Charles M. Smith married Charles & Mary Moore's widowed daughter Rebecca Moore/Grant in 1837 - they remained married for 12 years until her death in 1849. I keep hoping that perhaps Clermont Co. Ohio will offer some details on his father, Nathaniel Smith. Although I have been able to find bits and pieces on them in Montgomery Co. PA I still cannot figure out who Nathaniel Smith's parents and siblings were. I have been told that my grandmother used to say that her family were from the Smith's of Ohio and I am unsure just how many generations she was talking about. Her grandfather Charles M. Smith was born in PA and lived in Clermont Co Ohio but it's always possible that his father Nathaniel was associated with Ohio before appearing in PA in the 1810's. The problem is with the Smith surname being so common - there are just too many to chose from.

As far as I know your Lydia Smith is not related to my Smith group. To the best of my knowledge my Smith group remained in Montgomery Co. PA with Charles M. Smith b. 1816 PA moving to Clermont Co. Ohio by 1837 where he was a teacher. According to documentation I have found he was the only surviving child of Nathaniel & Rachel (Coates) Smith. The only relationship he may have with your Lydia is if they turn out to be cousins - but with a surname like Smith who knows. I wish you luck with your research - sorry I could not have been more help. Susan Carolyn Kuczmarski wrote: > Sue, Would you have a Lydia Smith in your family history for Clermont > County?

Hello: I know next to zero about the Frazee's, but have one little "clue" that might ???? help someone with one of the Frazee's. As per will and "agreement" of John Short Sr (died 1836 Clermont), son William Short and family stayed on the original Short homestead. Then when William died 1846, the heirs of John and Mary Short Sr, those in Clermont Co, and those in Indiana, sold said homestead to Benjamin Frazee. This was the remaining 100 acres of the original 150 acres, less approx 2 1/2 acres that went to William Short"s widow. On said land is the now destroyed Short graveyard; that is, the remains of burials are there, the above ground part is a back yard. Two known Rev War veterans, John Short Sr, and John Wheeler, are buried there, as well as about 20 other persons. Thanks. Ta! ke care. Regards, Dick

Aileen Whitt found Thomas Jones 'Rev War Pension application listing ,perhaps 10 men he served with,or under. I'll find the list when the day brightens more. Ada Fisher m Susanah Jones,sister of Thomas. Wm Tsions [Jones] was godfather of Adam and Susanah Jones eldest,in 1777-78,at Salem Reformed,nw of Hagerstown, new in 1776 Washington Co,nw Md. David Fisher wrote that his father served 18 months. David Fisher married Susan,dau of pensioner Lawrence Byrn and Elizabeth Baker Byrn. Mrs J.B.Whitt is from Edmund Lindsey and Barbara Fisher. My Mom,Ruhama Brown Fagley,and her pal,[and my 2nd grade teacher], Glenna Fisher m Bud Wilken,where,in 1929,charter officers of Beech Forest DAR. Likely their mothers,Ruie Ely Brown,and Louise Abbott Fisher,Bethel area historians,were the real founders.Ruie wrote a Bantam,Ohio column for the Clermont Sun 50 years,while Dr Abbott and dau,Louise were the noted Bethel historians,with librarian Miss Hassie Crane.

Our Rev. War patriot, Nathan Morgan needs to be acknowledged by Clermont Co. Ohio. This is his Bio: The data which follows is obtained from the papers on file in the Rev. War pension claim, S16985 based upon the military service in the war while residing in Virginia. Nathan volunteered in 1777 or 1778, exact date not shown, and served three tours, at least 6 months in all. He was born 10-22-1752 in the state of Delaware, the son of Rev. Enoch Morgan and Margret Howell and grandson of Rev.Enoch Morgan, the third pastor of the Welsh Tract Baptist church of Newark, Delaware. After the war he continued to reside in Virginia for about 2 years then moved to Georgia where he ,his wife Elizabeth and 9 others founded Vanns Creek Baptist church 1785 in Elbert Co. Georgia, which exists yet today.He migrated to South Carolina for 3 years, then to Campbell Co Kentucky 2 years and arrived in Felicity, Clermont Co, where he lived for 15 years. He spent a great deal of time surveying and serving the courts .In 1820 he moved to Indiana where his pension application was executed. He died on 27-August-1835 in and is buried in the McKay cemetary Craig township, Vevay, Switzerland Co., Indiana. His children are Samuel, Lewis Howell, Nancy, Rachel and Wallace Morgan.

Item,I think George,of Thomas, [of George] Brown -I think the latter George was mentoned in the will of David Jones,of Pencader and White Clay ,New Castle Co,Del. I also think this George Brown,b 1766,lived 1808-1820 in the disputed Beverly Roye survey with Enoch,of Nathan Sr,Morgan. No,my own George Brown,d 1814,whose large pulpit Bible was bought at auction by Enoch Morgan,shares no DNA with George Brown,b 1766. I think Enoch Morgan,of Nathan,had roots at Pencader. So did,Hendcoa,Rev William Williams,Presbyterian,of Cecil O'Dell's book on old Frederick Co,Va and his church member,Morgan Morgan.
