Hi! I am researching my Pugh ancestors who settled in Greenfield Twp. near Dumontville. Isaac (1806-1886) and Elizabeth (McFarland) Pugh (1808-1899) moved to Fairfield County around 1830 from Frederick Co., VA. They had 11 children as follows: 1. Ann (b.about 1830) Nothing more known about her. 2. William Reed (1831-1890) Married Mary Louise Mitchener. He died in Columbus. 3. Richard Bennett (1835-1857) Drowned in Walnut Creek. 4. James Robert (b. about 1836) Nothing more known of him. 5. Eliza Grantham (1838-1914) Married Henry Cruit and moved to Illinois. 6. Isaac Lemon (1839-1856) Died of typhoid. 7. Hannah (1840-1852) Died after falling on a hard floor. 8. Mary Catherine (1841-1906) 9. Daniel Kane (b. abt 1844)Nothing more known of him. 10. George Strode (b. abt 1847)Nothing more known of him. 11. Thomas Addison (b. abt 1851) Died in California. I am primarily interested in any information on any of the children that I have no further information on but, of course, will welcome any information. Also, is Walnut Creek still running in the area? I appreciate any help! Sean Pugh spugh@onebellevue.com

Marg, Virginia and anyone else with the same question, There is a book called A Complete History of Fairfield County, 1795-1876 by Hervey Scott that is available through Higginson Book Company, 148 Washington Street, P.O. Box 778, Salem, Massachusetts 01970. Their phone is (508) 745-7170. The cost of this book is $35 and I'm sure there would probably be shipping. They also have an e-mail address of higginsn@cove.com. This company carries many county "history" books, so for anyone interested in another county or state, I would recommend getting in touch with them about availability. I have had them do a reprint of an out-of-print Whitley County, IN book for me and was very satisfied with it. Hopefully this will help any of you who might be in need of book like these. Carole

Can anyone tell me if a book entitled "History of Fairfield County, Ohio" is still available for sale? If not, does anyone have a copy & willing to zerox a few pages? Thanx. Marg

Can anyone help?? George Benadom born abt 1785 was a teacher of Mathematics at Mount Vernon College in Lancaster, OH. He died in 1834. Does anyone know anything about this College or George Benadom??

George HARTER died 9 oct 1859 in Fairfield County. Sarah, his wife, died Sep 6, 1877 in Walnut Twp, Fairfield Co. They are supposedly buried at the Lutheran Cemetery Marquette Rd, Dunsonville, Ohio. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might find funeral records, burial records? Or obituaries for these two individuals? Is anyone familiar with this cemetery and might have an address where I can write for information? I go to DC periodically and can go to the Library of Congress or to the National Archives in exchange for any assistance you might be able to provide. Thanks in advance Linda in Texas

If some one in Lancaster would please go to the Court House and look for a marriage record for Dennis Hallarn/Hallaren/O'Holleran, etc. and Catherine ??? I will do research for them in the DAR Library in Washington, D.C. in exchange. The marriage took place after 1868, and before 1874. Dorothy in Virginia

Hello All, I am looking for the parents of John FARTIG, his wife is Mary Barbara REAM, and their son is Sampson REAM who married Rebecca SWAIN. All help would be highly appreciated. Carl cmoury@acc-net.com Marion, Ohio

I am researching the family of John & Hannah FORD of Violet Township, Fairfield County, Ohio. John died 24 Jul 1830, Hannah died 23 Oct 1824. They are buried in Dovel Cemetery in Pickerington. I would like to know if anyone else is researching this family. I descend from their son, Robert. I believe that Hannah's maiden name was CLOUD and would like to know if anyone is researching the family of Rev. Robert CLOUD, Methodist minister in Fairfield Co. about 1815 when Robert FORD married Margarita SMITH, Rev. CLOUD officiating. Rev. CLOUD may have also been a judge in Fairfield County. I would be very grateful for a reply from anyone interested in this family. I appreciate the work of our moderator, Carol Swinehart and especially grateful for her "Church Archives On Line" web page! The Fords were staunch Methodists and I have been unable to find the early Fairfield Co. Records. Just didn't know where to look. I visited the Drew University Library in Madison NJ which has a huge collection of Methodist history, but couldn't find what I was looking for, or anyone to assist. Many thanks, Carol. Fran Knapp

Whoever requested information on Joseph Raver and Emily Harter, please contact me, as I have misplaced your e-mail address. Dorothy in Virginia

Hello All, I have a two marriages of possible parents for my 2nd Great Grandfather, Eli Wisley VICKROY (b.1851) George VICKROY ~marrried on 13 April 1848 in Morgan Co.,OH~ Hester CANNADY John W. VICKROY ~married on 11 May 1843 in Perry Co.,OH~ Mariah RINEHART Anyone have either of these couples in your research? I would like to know of their children. I have never searched in Morgan County records, so I will have to look into ordering some microfilm, etc. And as for Perry Co. I have searched, but didn't notice any VICKROY's. My Eli eventually wound up in Fairfield County,OH in early 1880's. Would also like to hear about any other VICKROY's of Ohio. Keep Diggin' ~Debby GDebby@aol.com

Looking over a petition for partition involving Frederick Rabe, an ancestor, I found a copy of the following transcript from 1857 February 28th: It is hereby certified that the Land Warrant 80.058 for 160 acres has been issued in the name of Christina Kramer, Frederick Rabe and Hannah Rife, brother and sisters and heirs at law of Peter Rabe, alias Rabey, deceased, late a private in Captain Tucker's 2nd Regiment Ohio Volunteers ... and will be deposited in the General Land Office at the seat of Government ... After the location of the certificate it is to be surrendered to the General Land Office whence this Patent will issue. [BTW, Philemon Ewing bought Fred and Hannah's share in 1859 and, after successfully partioning the property in 1869, bought Christina's share in 1870] Two questions that someone may be able to help me with: 1) where would I look to get a regimental roll of this unit? It seems Peter served in the Mexican-American War and it would be interesting to see when and where he did so. 2) where would I look to get a copy of this certificate/warrant/ patent? Understanding 19th century property transactions are not a strong point of mine, so I am not even sure what I am asking for, let alone to whom I should ask for it!

http://www.greenapple.com/~cshart/chlinks.html I have updated my church archive list (again). I believe it is one of the most complete listings on the internet for US churches. As of yet my New York link is not working but will be soon. Stop by and give me some input. Are there more links I should have for Ohio Churches or other denominational records??? You can still get to this page from my other liblinks.html address but the aforementioned one goes directly to the church archives page so you might want to change your bookmarks. I know from experience that writing to these archives does work. Many have the church books you are looking for or can point you in the right direction. Even via e-mail I was able to locate the First German Presbyterian records (a church formerly in Newark, NJ) and a Reformed church formerly in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Happy hunting.

Hi. I am looking for information on Nellie Thomas Jefferson Johnson. Nellie's middle name started with G, possibly Gertrude. She died 6 May 1961 from cancer in Lancaster. Probably buried in Lancaster or Amanda. She was survived by her brother Floyd Lee Johnson and mother Della Mae <Reynolds> Johnson. Her father was Thomas Jefferson Johnson, unsure if he was living at the time. He was born 2 June 1886? in Ohio and is buried in Fairfield Co. Possibly Amanda or Lancaster. Thanks Sheila Maden LCS30@AOL.COM

Is anyone researching s. Fairfield County WOLF families: descendants of Ezra, Isaac and Salem WOLF, or the RICE family (Mariah, William, Catherine, James, Mary)? All are from the Frederick MD area. All settled in the Madison Twp (Old Clearcreek Twp.) area. If you have any information on these people or their descendants, I would be very interested. I am sure I have information to share with you. Lynn Scheu
