I am looking for information on the following surnames. Particularly, photos, descendants, other relatives. They are all connected by marriage. DeGrummond Motsch Miller DeGrummond, George came around 1869. I have a bio from a county history. and misc. news mentions already. I am hoping to find out if any living descendants of DeGrummond are still alive. He had several daughters. One of which was a Julia Motsch, formerly married to a Mr. Miller. She had one son, William D. Miller. The Motch/Millers lived in Lancaster at least into the early 20th Cent. Thank you.

Hello. Our brick wall is an ancestress born 1795 in "Licking Co." according to two published family sources, however I just noticed that Licking was formed 1808 from Fairfield, and am now wondering if I should be pursuing in Fairfield instead. Would some records of this family still remain in Fairfield County. Name is Brooks, Sarah was born 1795 daughter of Joshua or Josia Brooks about whom we know nothing. Sarah's husband Nathaniel Lowe III although from Maryland lived in Licking, but by that time when they married it actually was Licking, not Fairfield. Any referalls, ideas, brainstorms appreciated. Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this regard. Sincerely, Robert Campbell of Long Beach, California, great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Joshua or Josiah Brooks, of Fairfield or Licking Counties, Ohio.

Does anybody know anything about Kate SCHISLER or John GILES? Catherine was born 1821 in Ohio. Married 1841 in Fairfield Co. OH to John G. GILES. She died 1895 in Davis Co., IA. John G. GILES was born 1818 in Westmorland Co., PA. He died in 1893 (think he died in Ohio was had been living in Iowa).

I have a copy of Elisabeth Huber's will from Will book III page 98 dated 5 Dec 1837 written in German. Elisabeth lived in Pleasant Township Fairfield COunty, OHio and had the following children: Sons Johannes land in Putnam Co, OH, Christian, Jacob; daughters Magdalena, Elisabeth, Susanna, deceased daughter Catharina; executor Georg Schmether; signed Elisabeth Huber, wtn Daniel Guenther, Joseph Hiestand, Thomas B Peck Sounds like your Johannes except that in 1837 your John would only have been 15 years old and a minor. Perhaps the John listed in the will is his father. If you would like a copy of the will which is in German - just send your snail mail address to me. I do not have time to do a word for word translation or know anyone who can. If you need info about the will or would like a copy e-mail cshart@greenapple.com Melody is the one researching Hubers and her address is found at the end of this message.

The following newspaper article might interest many Fairfield County researchers as it contains many surnames. I do not know what paper it is from. 8th Annual Emfield/Miller/Sands Family Reunion Held The 8th annual reunion of the Emfield-Sands families was held at the home of Solomon Emfield, near Basil on September 1, 1909. A delicious dinner was served by the ladies which was enjoyed by all present. After dinner a short program was rendered and the election of officers took place. The next reunion will be held at the home of Mr. Mason Bibler, near McComb, Ohio. Officers elected were as follows: President John Hanna of Deshler; Secretary William Miller of McComb; Treasurer Solomon Miller of Findlay. Those present were: John Berger and wife, Sarah Roley, Solomon Sands and wife, Lizzie Pheister, Nathan Sands and wife and grand-daughter Retha, George Sands and wife, William Hensel, wife and daughter, Cassius McLaughlin and wife, Charles Dumm, wife and daughter, Julius Coffman and wife, Grant Miller and wife, Mace Bibler and wife and daughters, Ora McDaniel and wife, Dallas McDaniel, wife and children, Benjamin Finfrock, wife and son, Milton Miller, wife and son, Charles Sands, Olive Russell, Adam Sands and wife, Mabel Craig, Adam Smeck and wife, Mrs. F.

Eventually this group started meeting in Findlay, OH, every year. For several years it was not held, but was revived by a MILLER cousin from Michigan a few years ago. Plans are to meet July 26, 1998, somewhere in Findlay. Thanks, Whitney

To all those that need assistance in the Fairfield county and surrounding area. Another list is getting a little carried away about helping and not helping all because of certain view on sources. At this time I offer my assistance, again, to any who I might be able to help with simple lookups in our county library, for Fairfield and surrounding counties. I will not do any in-depth research, there are wonderful people here that can be hired to do that. I will do simple look-ups, and will try to send you copies of what I find so that you have the "original" source and don't need to depend on my transcription. (please send your snail mail address) I will be doing this for the remainder of February, in-between reading films I have ordered for myself and March when I hope to begin classes at the University here at Lancaster. Please make your requests clear and concise, with as many names and dates as you can to make the search easier and less time consuming. I do not charge for this. Anything you want to send to me later to compensate is entirely up to you. If you choose to do the same for someone else, that is also up to you. I enjoy helping others. Please use the subject line above so that I do not accidently delete your query.

Am searching for William REYNOLDS (b. 20 Jan-1776 d. 17-Mar-1874) who married Mary ______ (b. 10-Dec-1791 d. 9-May-1874). They were living in Fairfield Co., OH, in the early 1800's. Their daughters, Nancy and Margaret, married DUNIFAN brothers, John and Zachariah. John married Nancy on the 14-Sep-1837 in Fairfield Co., OH. I have been unable to determine William's and Mary's places of birth. Census records place William in DE, MD, PA, and "?" at the time of his birth and they place Mary in DE, MD, OH, and NY. Needless to say, I have no idea where to begin. No two census records records the same place of birth. Tradition says that William and Mary were both born in Ireland but I have no documentation that says this. They had 4 children that I know of: Nancy m. John DUNIFAN Margaret m. Zachariah DUNIFAN James Mary m. _________ RAMSBY I would be interested in talking to anyone who may know of any of these people and am willing to share information.

I've been trying to track my husband's side for several years and always get stuck in Fairfield Co., OH. I found them in the census records in 1830 spelled Dunasson. My husband's line begins in Fairfield Co., OH in the early 1800's. Zachariah DUNIFAN (probable father of John b. 1815 and Zachariah b. 1818) John DUNIFAN b. 1815 OH m. Nancy REYNOLDS in 1837 Fairfield Co., OH Henry Clay DUNITHAN b. 1844 OH m. Margaret NELSON in 1869 in IN Henry was my husband's great grandfather. Is anyone currently researching this surname?

Responding to email from: p-dclary@sota-oh.com Thank you for responding to my FAIRFIELD-L posting. It seems ... absolutely certain that your information on Richard Poling's descendents will help me sort out "who's who" among the Fairfield/Hocking/Perry county Polings. The area seems to have descendents of bros Samuel, Richard, and Martin B [my folks] at least. It sounds like by FAR the best way to make sense of the Ohio Polings is to depend on those who are still in the area. It looks like there are a couple of people in Phillipi, WV who have the WV Polings by heart, so I'm finally pretty well convinced that I will not only get that part of my family correct, but probably find out enough to fill out the "family history" from that era as well. Very reassuring - for what seemed for a time to be hopeless. I'm very happy to know about the Mathias-Poling reunion. I know I won't be able to visit the area then [are distant-distant cousins invited?], but I have been thinking of visiting Bremen/Logan in the next year or so, and it would seem ideal to come during a reunion. Thanks again -- Bert Shaw

The Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, OH has the Rev War Pension Paper info on microfilm. THere must be other libraries and perhaps the LDS that has the same??

Please visit my new web page devoted to the DUMM family, who came from Pennsylvania to Fairfield County in the 1820s and married into many other Fairfield Co. families (Ucker, Phillips, Saum, Killbarger, Messbarger, Stermer - just to name a few). http://www.clark.net/pub/jcblal/dumm/dumm.html Jessie Blalock jcblal@clark.net

Actually, even if you use the credit card option, the National Archives will only automatically send the "$10 standard package." If the file is much larger, they will send you a note advising you of the number of pages and the cost. You then have the option of ordering the remaining pages. I've had two ancestors that had very large files, and NARA followed this procedure both times. This is standard procedure according to Claire Prechtel-Kluskens, archivist at NARA.

IF you send you credit card number it goes a lot faster :) 6 months usually. Otherwise they have to write you back and you them etc. Maybe they have changed their policy since you last had dealings with them.

If one requests just pension papers, the bill seems to still be $10.00. However if you request ALL of the file (or both selected and non-selected records) the bill may be higher. You can write on your form, "please send the selected and advise me the cost of the non-selected records" and they will send you a note telling you what it will cost for the rest of the records. The non-selected may or may not be of genealogical interest. However, in the ones I sent for I received some very enlightening medical information, as well as information on other family members. If this does not seem clear to you, it is like the Revolutionary War Pension records that you can borrow on interlibrary loan that show selected and non-selected. If you send to the National Archives for those records you receive the selected only. AGLL loans the Revolutionary War Pension records, so there is no need to bother the National Archives to get those, you can look at them yourself and also everyone else by that surname that is on the reel of microfilm...thus perhaps finding a sibling or cousins information. And save a "bunch of money." gayle1@kansas.net

In the event that this may be information useful to any list members: This is just a "shot in the dark"... I collect old and used Bibles, and I got this one somewhere. (Perhaps bought it in a second hand shop). I have no idea where this Bible came from or where these people lived. It is a small Oxford King James Bible. (As far as I know, they are not related to me). Inside the back cover is written "Wm. Hohn, Christmas1898". On the page between the Old and New Testaments is written a list of births: Lewis J. Hohn born Nov. 7, 1866 Ella M. Hohn born Oct. 29, 1868 John L. Hohn born July 12, 1890 Ruth G. Hohn born Nov. 25, 1891 Wm. H. Hohn born April 16, 1893 Lewis K. Hohn born Jan 21, 1896 Russel T. Hohn born March 18, 1898 Gilbert R. Hohn born Jan 18, 1900 Elisabeth Hohn born October 28, 1901 If these are your ancestors, I will be glad to give the Bible to you. Good luck...
