Linda, I have one for that era and I believe I copied it when I visited the Lancaster Library about 20 years ago. Who are you looking for? Bonnie Morris Conrad

Good morning ........was wondering if there was ever a book of "plat maps" made of Fairfield Co during the 1800's? And if so does anyone know if there is a copy in the historical room at the main library? Thank you for your time! Linda

Deloris I don't know if this is related to your McGRAW line, but I just found my great-aunt Rose KUHN McGRAW's husband's name. He was Thomas McGRAW age 28 in the 1910 Census. They are living with her mother, (Mary) Elizabeth LOWE KUHN, & sister, Grace KUHN, on E King St, in Lancaster, Fairfield Co, OH. I remember well Aunts Grace & Rose, but believe Rose's husband, Thomas, died before I was born. Aunt Rose was 23 in the census and they had been married for 2 years. They had no natural children, but adopted Marvene, who was born in 1923 and died in about 1980 or so. Let me know if this is the same line.

Can anyone tell me if there was a doctor by the name of Meredith Darlington Brock located in Fairfield County in July of 1846? Was he originally from Fairfield County, etc? Thank you. Sue Chism [email protected]

Hello List Members, I am new to the list and just starting to research my ancestors who lived in Fairfield County. Where would I find the Births, Deaths, etc. for the 1860 to 1880 time period? Deloris

Would like to correspond with anyone researching or connected to these names. I believe they came to Fairfield co from the Berks co PA area with my Crist and Brown lines. Johannes BRAUN/Browns first wife and mother of the children including my Elizabeth who married Simon Crist, was a GRAUEL. Thanks for any help or clues. Just beginning this line. Margaret Calvin.

Good evening........was wondering if someone could possibly tell me where Clearport was?? I do know that there is small white building that looks like some type of depot at the intersection of Amanda Clearport & Clearport Rd that is called Clearport. Also looking for Clearcreek? Thank you for your time! Linda

Hello List Members, I am new to the list and am hoping to find a connection to my great grandfather's sister, Rose Ann Clark married Joshua Reynolds in 1837 in Perry County. However, Rose shows up living with her daughter, Mary McGraw in 1870 Lancaster, Fairfield, OH. Is anyone on the list researching these surnames? Thanks, Deloris Bringardner Girard

I am trying to find out if he died shortly after their marriage or not--though I guess divorce would be a possibility too. I found a Jacob Rush in the 1820 Census for Amanda Twp. and I guess him to be the same one living in the 1860 Violet Twp. Census at age 89 (in another household).

I am looking for a Lydia Wollet (Wollett/Wallet, etc), daughter of Phillip Wollett and Anna Marie Herring. I have been given her birth year as 1800, but am looking to prove this. Her parents were Baptized on 26 July 1812 (as adults, so I am wondering if their older children were also done at the same time). I appreciate any help that can be offered.

Good morning.......was wondering where the early marriage records would be in Fairfield Co? And also how far back they go? Thank you for your time! Linda

Carl, Here is the information for the Spohn household. I've written it down by columns, starting with the name column (columns 1-4 are household number, etc.) Any column number that is missing was blank on the sheet. To see the heading for each column, try this page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~census/help/1930.htm - scroll down about halfway to see the column headings. The address was 239 Oak Street, household was number 263, and I found them on page 10B of the census. I hope this helps! -Stacy Column Number - Data 5 - Spohn, Harry R. 6 - Head 7 - Ohio 8 - 4,000 10 - No 11 - M 12 - W 13 - 37 14 - M 15 - 22 16 - No 17 - Yes 18 - Ohio 19 - Ohio 20 - Ohio 24 - Yes 25 - Foreman 26 - Stucco plant 27 - W 28 - Yes 30 - No 5 - Spohn, Dorothy 6 - Wife - H 11 - F 12 - W 13 - 34 14 - M 15 - 19 16 - No 17 - Yes 18 - Ohio 19 - Ohio 20 - Ohio 24 - Yes 25 - None 5 - Spohn, Albert J. 6 - Son 11 - M 12 - W 13 - 13 14 - S 16 - Yes 17 - Yes 18 - Ohio 19 - Ohio 20 - Ohio 24 - Yes 25 - None 5 - Donald R. 6 - Son 11 - M 12 - W 13 - [This is hard to read.

See the John Friedly article I found in "The History of Fairfield & Perry Counties": FRIEDLY, JOHN, farmer. He is the only son of John S. and Ann W. Friedly, and was born in Switzerland, May 2, 1827. He came with his parents to America in 1831. They came direct to Ohio and lived in various places in Walnut and Liberty townships, until 1853, when his father purchased the farm formerly owned by David Rife, where he settled and reared his family, one son and two daughters, Elizabeth; wife, of Conrad Steiger, of Green township; Sophia, who died in August, 1854, and John, Jr., who had only limited advantages for obtaining an education. He began farming at an early age, which he has always followed. He owns one hundred and ten acres which is well improved; the buildings are of modern construction and contain every convenience. The family residence being unusually pleasant and commodious, making the farm one of the most desirable in the township. Mr. Friedly is a member of the Reformed Church. He has held the office of township trustee three years. He was united in marriage to Miss Mary Thompson, June 23, 1853. They are the parents of ten children, all at home, with the exception of the eldest daughter, Mary Elizabeth, now the wife of John Waters, of Walnut township.
