About U.S. Federal Census Mortality Schedules, 1850-1880 This database is an index to the Mortality Schedules of the United States Federal Censuses for 1850-1880. Each of the U.S. Federal Censuses from 1850-1880 included a mortality schedule enumerating the individuals who had died in the year previous to the census year. In addition, each individual is linked to the census image on which they appear. ancestry doesn't have OHIO online...

Thanks for the suggestion, Heather - but Louisa Gares died in either 1873 or 1875, so no listing for her on the Mortality Schedule for 1870. I did get lucky with regards to her husband though -he died in June, 1859 and was on the Mortality Schedule for the 1860 Census, so I do know that that source is a good one to check out!

Thanks so much, Rebecca, for taking time to check out the Amanda cemetery listings and respond. The fact that Louiza was not buried there is one more clue supporting the fact that she might be my gr-gr-grandmother... who is proven to be buried in Groveport. Interesting to note that Eliza White died the same year as the Census was taken. Since the Census record says that Louiza was infirm, I wonder how they managed after that - perhaps 19-year old Olive White had her hands full.... Thanks also for the source to use for death records - I will follow up on that right away!

The Fairfield County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society has a map at http://www.fairfieldgenealogy.org/research/fairfieldcountymap.jpg that shows the current political townships in the county and what survey townships and ranges each of them includes. The map does not show sections, which you need to pinpoint locations. A map that does include sections is found in the online version of the 1883 History of Fairfield and Perry Counties Ohio at http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tfisher/fairfield_perry_history.htm Look under part III. Unfortunately, the map is a little hard to read. -- Karl Seitz >Thanks for all the good info. Is there a web site to download the maps for >these range/twp's?

Does anyone have a Dorcas / Darcus Beery / Berry married to Isaac Quick ca 1831 in Violet Township? I can't find either of their parents, but she had a sister, Lucy who married William Funk. Sound familiar to anyone? Barb Marshall

Many of the families into which they married followed the Pennsylvania-Virginia-Ohio pattern. -- Karl Seitz I have 110 GOCHNOUR persons in my data base stemming from Bedford Co., Pa. and a few locations out West in Idaho and Washington State but no Ohio connection made yet.

Annette, There was also one for a Lewis Sites, land patent issued 1924, for one that was issued Oct 1, 1811. Range 19W, Twp 16 N, Sec 12 N 1/2. You can even print out the land patent. Also one for a Hannah Seitz, patent says of Hocking Co., Ohio and bought land in Vinton Co., OH. Hope you can access the land office records. The actual patents usually state what co. & state they are from when buying the land. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom & Marjie Evans" <theme@windstream.net> To: <ohfairfi@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 9:59 AM Subject: Re: [OHFAIRFI] Lewis & Daniel Seitz land location > Annette, Have you tried this: The Bureau of Land Management-Eastern > States General Land Office (GLO) Records Web site is now back online at : > http://www.glorecords.blm.gov. > > Find the Green Bar at top area of page, click on Search Land Patents, they > ask for your area zip code.

Hi Karl I see you have a Gochenour listed in the Beery family. Did any of this same Gochenour line come up to Allen Co Ohio. I have quite a few Gochenour buried in the Buckland Cemetery. Sue
