Many thanks to Carol for bringing Fairfield County on-line. My family surnames in Fairfield County include CRIST/CHRIST, EATON, BECK, ROBESON, MILLER, BROWN, OWENS. Christ/Crists are from Ingleheim, Germany and immigrated about 1839, which is my most recently arrived line. They lived in Berne and Madison Twps and attended St. Thomas Lutheran where the early family members are buried. Believe the Eatons and Owens came into the area from Hampshire Co., WVa/Frederick Co., VA area and that there is a Fisher connection here somewhere. Becks and Robesons are in early Berne Twp. My Millers and Browns are from PA but don't seem to connect with other families of this name in the area. Down in Hocking Co., which is just next-door, are these family names - many with branches that reach into Fairfield Co. They include STUMP, LUTZ, FOX, FRIEND, CAVE, WHITE, JULIAN/JULIEN/de St. JULIEN, BUTLER, INGMIRE, LACEY, and KERR. Also have RAYs and WILLIAMSes in Fairfield and Hocking that moved up from Campbell Co., TN during the late 1920s. I was born in Lancaster, Fairfield Co. in 1944 and am a transplanted Buckeye living in southern New Jersey, just 6 miles from Philadelphia. Happy to exchange info on these families and anything else related to Fairfield Co. charla in nj Charla Marchione marchpubs@juno.com
