This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: KARNES, CARNES Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2VB.2ACE/460 Message Board Post: Anna "Nancy" KARNES [spelled CARNES in Family Bible] was born April 24, 1810 in "Old" Virginia. Her obituary in the Logan newspaper said she was the city's oldest resident when she died there on September 3, 1891. She married Daniel KITTSMILLER on April 18. 1829, in Fairfield County and lived in Bloom Township until moving to Logan in 1834. Daniel's father, Benjamin, mentions a "grandson Oliver Karnes" in his will in 1852. Was KARNES Anna's maiden or married name? Where was she from and who were her parents?

I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I'm looking for any information on Mt Carmel Church. It used to stand on Basil Western Rd west of Baltimore Ohio. I believe it was either Presbeterian or Lutheran. I know it stood until at least 1914-1916 time frame, but after that I'm not sure. One story I've heard is it was struck by lightening and burned..........but I don't know if that was true. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated! My great grandparents met there at a church social, and I would love to know what happened to the church. Thanks!

Trying to find the first Nothstein families into Fairfield Co. Who were they and when did they come? I believe that some of them came from Luzerne Co., PA in the very early 1800's. Thanks. Eleanor

Does anyone know anything about the "Sherman Armory" listed below?(what was it? does it still exist? where is it? etc.) Thank you. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- ...Names of Soldiers are to be Placed on Bronze Tablet in Sherman Armory...

This is a list of soldiers from Fairfield county, Greenfield Twp. found in the Lancaster Daily Eagle of May 7, 1924: WANT NAMES OF VETERANS _________________ Committee Seeking Complete List of Civil War Soldiers From Fairfield Co. _________________ Names of Soldiers are to be Placed on Bronze Tablet in Sherman Armory _________________ The committee appointed to secure names of soldiers of the War of the Rebellion who enlisted from Fairfield County, to be placed on tablets in the Sherman Memorial Armory, has obtained 1,600 names from the roster and from soldiers now living who have furnished lists of their own companies. The population of Fairfield County in 1860 was 30,000, including 4,000 for Lancaster, and the veterans estimate tha 3,200 soldiers enlisted from old Fairfield. It is a very difficult matter to secure these names sixty years after the time of enlistment, as the muster-rolls and the register give the place of mustering in and not the place of residence. The committee is now making an appeal to the townships for additional names, hoping in this way to get them by neighborhoods from soldiers still living and their relatives and friends, but the names will be placed on the tablets by regiments and companies -- not by townships. Anyone who can furnish additional names with companies and regiments will kindly send this information to Post Commander Charles W. EMBICH, 492 East King St., Lancaster, Ohio. Comrade James W. BUCHANAN, who died recently at Basil, had furnished the list of soldiers from Greenfield Township which appears below, and lists from other townships will be submitted from time to time as they are received.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Fisher Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2VB.2ACE/459 Message Board Post: I have that Nicholas Fisher was b. 29 Apr 1798 in Hampshire Co., WV, son of Adam Fisher. Nicholas m.18 Mar 1819 in VA to Mary Shobe and after her death he m. Rhoda A. and they appear on the 1850 census in Fairfield Co. Living nearby is a William Fisher 23 b. VA wife Elizabeth. I believe this William is a son of Nicholas and #1 wife Mary. William and Elizabeth moved to Pickaway Co. by 1870. The LDS shows their marriage in 1847 and her surname as Coop. But I suspect is actually Copp/Cupp. Would really appreciate any help at all sorting out these Fishers. Pamela G. Smith Gresham, OR
