Following is the compiled listing of names sent to me: ...Seburn HOOTEN; Elizabeth KIRGAN; James DEBRULER; John YAZELL; Samuel GLENN; Maryarter SANDERS; Orpah KILLGORE; Keturah REYNOLDS; Dewey ELAM; Nathaniel MCGOWAN; Vashti CHURCH; Casper NOEKER; Amos DERROUGH; Margaret MULLINAX; Snoda HENDERSON; Eathanne PHILHOWER; John WEISENBORN; Maria Antonia AMESQUITA; Max MENZ; Richard DEVINNEY; Wilhelmina BEROSET; and Joshua TUTON. ...Mahala LAYCOCK, Elijah WARD, Pauline Zerelda RAPER, Esau Daly RICE, Peter VANBRIGGLE, Solomon WHIDDEN, and Hannah LITTLE. ...Eliza SELLERS & Walter BOOT(ES); Alfred IZOD & VEARIL; Elizabeth (SCHWERZEL) WEISENBORN; Phineas LEWIS. What a great bunch of people we have, across the country, on this Clermont County List!!! I have made friendships I cherish. One neat gentleman wrote asking for an update on downtown Hillsboro, OH (since he hadn't been in these parts for 20 years). I had to talk to a few more old-timers to get the facts. In a couple of instances, I have been able to pair researchers together who were looking for the same surnames. Several people have responded that miscellaneous facts sent to them had given possible leads into other locations they had not before considered. Even though ancestors did not enjoy the speed of travel we do today...they still managed to relocate to unbelievable distant areas! That's what genealogy is all about...chasing those tails across the continent!
