While researching at our library, I came across a "Membership Ancestor Index of The Fairfield County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society" prepared in 1985. In it is the name of Helen L. Bishop whose ancestor is EGOLF which is one of my lines. My question, is Helen still a member of the society and is her address as listed in this information correct? Thanks. Pat in Fort Wayne

Hi all am new to this list so I wanted to post the surnames I am researching from Fairfield Cty. My main one is Thomas Bowen I found records that prove he was in Fairfield Cty. prior to 1836 I found a marriage record of his daughter Hannah to Ozias Barnes March 15, 1832. And also found marriage record of his son William to Rebecca Evans which took place in August 08, 1836 in Pickaway CO. Ohio. Thomas's wifes name was Annah, and I think her maiden name may have been Needles (Needels) I have not proven this but would sure like to. I know that after they left Fairfield Cty. they moved to Blackford Cty Indiana and I pretty much have been able to follow them and their descendants from there. What I am trying to do is find out where they were prior to Fairfield and how they came to be in Fairfield. I haven't been able to connect them with any land in that area. Would sure appreciate any help you may have. Also would like to invite you to visit my HomePage at http://www.interaccess.net/~wcb if you make connections with any surnames please contact me at wcb@interaccess.net THANKS BILL BOWEN Bill Bowen http://www.interaccess.net/~wcb

I am trying to locate information on Sarah Nicoll, b. 3 Mar 1813, Ohio. She married Michael Ruffner 18 Feb 1836 in Fairfield county, OH and believed to have died in Greenup, Cumberland county, IL about 1848. She and Michael had six daughters, Mary L. (m. Eli Elston or Elsteen), Catherine E. (m. John E. Dickinson), Lydia C. (m. Horatio Jones), Martha A. (m. Monty Price), my Sarah M. and Rebecca F. (who I know nothing about.) Would really like to learn the parents and siblings of Sarah and any other info about her. Would you please check you Nicoll research and see if she might show up? Thanks. Nancy Giles

Ye Ancient Swains "Cupid's Serial, Embracing a List of Marriage Licenses Granted in Fairfield County from 1801" was a column published in the Lancaster Gazette beginning 22 Dec 1888. It included marriage licenses from June 1801 to December 1826 although they are not necessarily complete. Patsy Kishler

Hi everyone, Seeking information about parents, siblings, and immigration of my great-grandfather Andrew PETERS. He was born 1835 in Schwartzenburg, Germany. He married Emma R. BORCHERS March 13, 1859, and was naturalized Oct. 1859 in Fairfield Co. They moved to Decatur IL sometime after their first child, Louis was born in 1860. Would also like information about Emma's mother, Louisa NEELING (Kneeling?). She was born July 5, 1801 in Germany and married Ludwig Borchers in Fairfield Co., Nov. 15, 1830. Thank you, Sue in California

Drusilla Lynch was born in 1802, the dau. of Jonathan Lynch and Ruth Springer. Drusilla Lynch married Nicholas Rodgers/Rogers, 3 October 1819 in Fairfield Co. The marriage record seems to call the groom Nathaniel, but the land records say Nicholas. Nicholas and Drusilla Rodgers/Rogers seem to have had these seven children, (Though there is a large range of birth dates): Sarah b. about 1820, Catherine b. about 1822, Elizabeth Rogers b. about 1824, Abigail b. about 1827, Margaret b. about 1831, Robert b. about 1840, and Caroline Rodgers/Roger b. about 1843. Does anyone have any leads to share on this family? Kathleen Rizer Archivist for the 10,000 Descendants of Dennis Springer and Ann Prickett

Can anyone tell me if Ohio has an 1810 Census? I believe I looked one other time for it at Ft. Wayne but was stunned when I did not find any for Ohio. I know that Ohio became a state in 1803 and by all rights there should be an 1810 Census. Can anyone clear this up???? Shirley

I checked in the index to Perry Co marriages and did not find a marriage for an Alfred Mechling. Judging from his age, Alfred M. Mechling could have served in the Civil War.

Seeking parental information on Alfred Melancthon MECHLING; -- have looked in Perry, Licking and Fairfield Counties, but have not found any birth or guardianship records. Known information is: born 6 Oct 1845, Hopewell twp., Perry Co OH (data he used, anyway) died 5 Aug 1933, near Ada, Liberty twp., Hardin Co OH (proven) married circa 1871 (location unknown, but probably Perry Co.) Eva SMITH/SCHMIDT (1847-1921) d/o George & Mary Magdalina (FISHER/FISCHER) MECHLING of Perry Co OH Alfred Melancthon is found in these early census records: 1850, age 5, residing with Joseph & Catharine (WINEGARDNER) SNIDER, in Bowling Green twp., Licking Co OH 1860, age 15, residing with Daniel & Catherine (MECHLING) SHELLY in Hopewell twp., Perry Co OH (Catherine was probably his aunt) 1870, age 25, with Simon & Elizabeth (SHELLY) SWINEHART in Perry Co OH (Elizabeth was a sister to Daniel SHELLY) 1880, married with wife Eva in Monroe twp, Delaware Co IN His obit lists a sister, Sarah FORSYTHE of Argos IN. She was Sarah (nee MECHLING) d/o Jacob D. (1821/3-1871) & Nancy (WAGONER) MECHLING (married 2 Aug 1845), who left Perry Co. around 1850, and had a son Alfred, born 10 Sep 1846, as recorded in the Good Hope Church records, near Glenford, Perry Co OH. This is a different Alfred from Alfred Melancthon. Jacob D. was the s/o Peter & Mary (DOWNOUR) MECHLING. Jacob & Nancy had several other children who were also still alive at the time of Alfred Melancthon's death, but they were NOT listed as his siblings! His death certificate (information given by his dtr. Pearl (MECHLING) TURNER) , list "Jacob" as his father, mother "unknown". A "family story" says that his mother "...was the little French girl on the next(?) farm..." How much validity might this have?? I cannot find any. The Perry Co OH will and estate papers of Margaret (MECHLING) SHELLY [wife of George SHELLY}, lists Alfred MECHLING of Ada OH, as her nephew. This would have to be Alfred Melancthon, because of the location - the other Alfred resided in Indiana. Margaret was the d/o Peter & Mary (DOWNOUR) MECHLING, making her a sister to the above Jacob D. MECHLING. Deducting from this information, it appears that Jacob D. MECHLING had an affair shortly before his marriage, a child resulted, who became named, Alfred Melancthon MECHLING. Might the mother have been in the Joseph & Catharine (WINEGARDNER) SNIDER extended family -- is that why he was residing with them? He was not their son. Any suggestions, comments, or leads on this "stone wall" will be GREATLY appreciated!! Caral MECHLING BENNETT cmechlingb@aol.com

Hello: I am searching for any and all data on my Grandparents, Edward A.Brown,B:Sept,15, 1868; D: Sept 20,1920, and wife Margaret Louise Thimmes Brown, b:Jan 18,1869; D: June 24,1934. Both of their death certificates states they are buried in Lancaster.(Margaret's says St.Marys Cemetery). However, can't find out where they really are buried as church cemetery records are not available, and funeral homes say they have no records for that period in time.Are there any Thimmes or Brown family members still in that area that are doing their own genealogy and have run into these names in their lineage somewhere????? If so, Please write me as I need your help. I also need help with my GGrandfather, George H.Brown who is buried out at St Mary's cemetery. His wife was Anna Rebecca Brown. I need her maiden name and haven't been able to get it. The probate records are skimpy for the mid-1800's period. I appreciate any help any of you can give me. Perhaps some of you have cemetery name books that you'd check out for me for Edward and Margaret. Gwen

Darleen Berens, I have seen you give marriages to others that you found from the Fairfield Co. Newspapers and wondered if you would ckeck on "Thompson" marriages for me? Shirley Thompson

To Carol Swihart, Carol I have tried to send you a message using your E-mail address of "cshart@greenapple.com" and my messages are undeliverable. Can you give me any clues? I am getting the Digest just fine. Also I would like to know if there is any way to get the first "Digest's" My digest starts with Issue #7 and I would like very much to get #1 thru 6. Maybe three at a time since Juno does not take real long messages. Regards Shirley
