He was at that time in the county of Whitley, Indiana. Believed to have come from Medina Co., OH [in 1840 census of Westfield Twp.] to Erie Co. and might be in 1850 census there before moving on to Whitley Co., IN. Can anyone do a lookup for me, or let me know who to contact at the Court house for land info? Thanks. Bev.

I have in my possession, a photograph of a gentleman by the name of William MILES, who apparently was employed by General Isaac R. Sherwood, (1835-1925, Toledo, Ohio). I would like to find out more about this gentleman. Where do I need to look? I also have in my possession a newspaper article written by my great grandmother, Lenore SHERWOOD, regarding this same gentleman. If you desire to have a copy of this article, in order to gather more information in regards to William Miles, I will be more than happy to send one to you. He apparently died in Sandusky? but not certain. Your efforts in this matter will be greatly appreciated and I look forward to a response. Thank you.

Thanks for forwarding this important bit of history. Since my roots are from the Carolinas, I'm particularly interested in how they lived. Does anyone know what years this refers to? While I appreciate the hardships born on our ancestors I, as a wife and mother, wonder in what century this piece was written. Certainly, no compassionate, educated male of this century would refer to us as "...bontons of the elite society that we have with us today pretending to be wives and mothers." What a knucklehead! In many ways, our lives are no easier today than they were then. Most of the Southern had slaves to assist them with their "household" chores and they had very large families who could share the burdens of the daily tasks. Not so today, our families are much smaller and most of us can't afford cleaning people or others to assist us with our daily lives. We may be, not only wives and mothers, but housekeepers, cooks, career women (required to support the family), volunteer, and often student all at the same time. I did enjoy the article, but I just had to put in my 2 cents. Sue J.

------------------------------------------------------------------ FORWARDED MESSAGE - Orig: 8-Jan-99 16:44 Subject: HISTORY of our ANCESTORS ------------------------------------------------------------------ This is part of the history of our country too; I know it isn't germaine but I thought some might like to see it anyway. It's from NC The early settlers had to go nearly two hundred miles to Cross Creek to get salt, sugar, iron and other necessities that they could not produce here. The women of those days were more industrious than the bontons of the elite of society that we have with us today pretending to be wives and mothers. They would work in the fields all day, and at night they had the cotton to seed, flax to spin, carding, weaving, knitting and many other things to do. The meals had to be prepared too but it required only a short time to do that; the principal articles of food were and hominy, and such other articles as could be produced on the plantation. Coffee and tea were rarities. Tea made from spicewood twigs, sassafrass roots and sage leaves and "coffee" made of parched corn or rye was commonly used. In the spring of the year all the stock was belled and turned loose in the woods to shift for themselves. Troughs were hewn in logs where the stock was salted about twice a week. These troughs were called "salt licks." In those days there was a kind of wild pea vine that grew abundantly in the woods and the stock would graze upon these pea vines and do well until cold weather. These wild pea vines ceased to grow about 50 years ago. There is quite a contrast in society then and now. In other days the dwellings usually consisted of two log houses--the kitchen and the Big House, and occasionally the "Big House" had "up stairs." The "Big House" was the parlor, sitting room and bed room combined. There was neither organ nor piano, but the fiddle, banjo, flute and fife were the musical instruments in those days. Courting was carried on in those days, you bet, but the bontons of today wouldn't have recognized the style in those days. There were no drives in costly vehicles nor expensive bridal tours. When the distance to be traveled was too far to walk they rode on horseback. Bride and groom or beau and sweetheart would both ride the same horse and hie away over the rough roads as merrily as the mated sparrows fly about their nests. The courting at home was done in the "big house" in the corner by the fire while the old folks were in bed and pretendedly asleep in the backend of the room. Corn shuckings, quiltings, etc., were great social events. At night after the work was complete, the neighborhood fiddler came in and the fun began. Until an hour or two before day both old and young, male and female, would dance and skip and play keeping step with the music all the while. Every body believed in helping his neighbors do their work and in turn his neighbors would help him. The whole community would engage in shucking corn, etc. and keep moving about until every man's work was done, keeping up the frolicks every night. When a man killed a hog or a yearling he would divide with his neighbors who would repay when butchering day came with them. The principal sports among the men were hunting and horse racing, and in later years, mustering. In those days, there was no tax on grog as they called it, and from all information it was freely used. It is peculiarly interesting to study the habits and customs of our fore fathers who first inhabited their country; think of them chasing the deer, elk, bear and other game; their conflicts with the Indians; the everyday association with such pioneers as Daniel Boone and Benjamin Cleveland. But the frontier life is a thing of the past; the pioneers have long since passed away, and all that is left is the country which they founded and nurtured in its infancy. Let us honor them by keeping the record of our country spotless and clean. ==== BRETHREN Mailing List ==== !^NavFont02F0CCE0007NGHHSCF5A15 Maggie's World of Courthouse Dust & Genealogy Fever http://www.infinet.com/~dzimmerm/mindex.html *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* God Put Me On Earth to Accomplish a Certain Number of Things.

Hi Everyone, First the report on my knee. My doc is now sure that the cartlidge and meniscus in my knee are torn. I go back on the 29th for re-evaluation. He injected both sides of my right knee and fought with the insurance company yesterday and got the only oral medication that works approved. This morning I got up and had no pain. Hopefully it will last but I am under no illusions that it could just be the injections and will be taking it easy and doing exactly what Doc told me to do. Second, my database that does my Franklin County Ohio queries, etc it totally trashed. I am not going to do my mail/answer my mail until I get it reconstructed. This is just a note to let you know why I might not be around for the day. I think I can do it under three hours but since Dave put this new stuff on my computer nothing has gone right. (grin-I don't know if it is windows98 or the fact that he had to delete my registry to get the new system board to work.) Everyone have a great weekend and you will see messages start flowing again when I get done. Thanks for your patience.
