Didn't see this come through, so I'm resending my request. Good frosty morning to everyone. If someone can help me please, I would love a copy of this obituary. He is buried in Green Lawn Cemetery.

Hi, Everyone! A few years ago a friend of my husband's who worked in the county engineer's office, knowing my interest in Franklin County history and genealogy, handed Dave (hubby) a bundle of eighteen sheets of paper. Each sheet was about 30 inches square. Each was a circa 1895 plat map of one of the eighteen townships in Franklin County. With the exception of city/town lots, each parcel has the name of the owner and the acreage printed inside the parcel. I wanted to find a way to share this bounty with others, but I don't have the patience required for some projects. So I put it on my "Honey dew" list for Dave's retirement. During the past week he scanned each map in segments and then "stitched" them together. The results are, in my slightly biased opinion, fantastic. He put them in PDF files so that they can be magnified to read the names better. Some of the maps are more easily read than others--remember they are copies of copies of copies. One last comment--they are very large files and for those with dial-up modems they will take a long time to download. Please be patient. The plat maps are the last items on my Franklin County ALHN Maps page: http://www.genealogybug.net/franklin_county/maps.htm Enjoy!

Dear Leona, What a find! May I ask a question or two of you? I have not thought of these before. 1. Is Franklin County larger than Columbus? 2. Is Columbus made up of different Townships? 3. What Township is the German Village in? My Kinzig Greatgrandfather came from Germany with 2 brothers. Two went to Dayton-I don't know why-and Augusta came to Columbus-I don't know why either. He settled in what is now the German Village of Columbus. My greatgrandmother came from Germany, too. There are conflicting stories as to where they met and her age when she came. Census and the family stories don't match. But, they did marry and had two families meaning the older children died young and my grandfather, Edward Peter Kinzig was among the younger family with same parents. I have even found a Census with 2 children who evidently died in the 10 years between census as I knew/know nothing about them. My grands lived at 184 Beck Street. All I ever saw was a vacant lot but I know a lovely home now sits on it. My grands were bakers, Augusta, The Pretzel Maker, and Krezenzia, The Noodle Maker. 1887-92 Columbus Directory show them with a Bakery also but Mother said they had a stand 'downstreet' where they sold their goods. Several years ago I was honored when the German Village Committee asked for my Kinzig Family History which they were to include in the History of the German Village. I don't know if they actually did this but like to think they did. I would love to find my greatgrands 'spot' on one of your maps. All of the children, 10, were born on Beck Street. My Greats were married at St Mary's Church-several are buried at Mt. Calvary. One time my folks visited the Cemetery and did find some graves. My grands lived at 706 E. Whittier Street.

My great great grandparents, Solomon PONSLER & Chloe Malinda nee' (BRECKI(E)NRIDGE were in the 1850 Franklin County, Hamilton County census with 2 daughters. They were married February 7, 1847 in Franklin County. Solomon was of Fairfield County which leads me to think it was Chloe Malinda Brecki(e)nridge who was of Franklin County. They had several children before emigrating to Illinois where they show in the 1860 census with the daughter born in 1859 shown as born Illinois, although in the 1870 census it shows this same daughter born in Ohio. But they were in the 1860 census in Illinois, this we do know. Is there anything else known of these two "surnames" in the Franklin County area in that time frame. There is another Solomon PONSLER and he evidently has the same parents I was hoping to be "mine" <smile> and in which I was working toward finding "proof". All that I have all Chloe Malinda is her tombstone reads after her name ~ daughter of John & Rebecca Breckinridge (I have not "today" checked the spelling of her maiden surname in the picture. I have never yet been able to find anything of John & Rebecca, any spelling. Any help on this line will be gratefully appreciated. Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington)

Oh Leona, what an awesome site!!!! Your Dave's friend was certainly a great FRIEND with a gift like that!!! I have been involved with maps for everything most of my life, but I sure don't have the talent to do what you've done with your wonderful site! I have a few hundred maps of different ages and places. If you ever get over to Tipp City, let me know. Mine are a real hodge podge, but exciting (for me anyway ) Thanks so much for your site and for sharing your wonderful treasure.

I was able to find one of the books already, and an abstract from it is as follows: History of the city of Columbus, by Alfred E Lee Page 721 The first place of sepulture set apart by the early settlers at the Forks of the Scioto was situated in the vicinity of the Sullivant, afterwards Rickly, mill on the west bank of the Scioto, and was used by the villagers of Franklinton. A writer in the Sunday Herald of May 2, 1886 described it as a tract of about three acres, at that time very indifferently enclosed and in a distressing state of neglect. ... Page 722 We now come to the grave of James Gilmore, a native of Rockbridge County, Virginia, died October 10, 1817, aged 61 years. Then Mary Gilmore, wife of James Gilmore 2d, died June 17, 1818, aged 28 years. ... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi! Maybe someone can help me out here or point me in the right direction. My GGGrandfather, William Barr, married Emma O'Harra (also referred to as Harris) in 1878 in Columbus, Ohio. In 1880 the census shows that he had a 5 year old daughter referred to as 'Ola', possibly really named Viola or something like that, living with him and his new wife. I have no idea as to rather or not the "daughter" was his daughter or the daughter of his new wife but as he was 37 years old and his new wife was merely 19 yrs. old, I'm guessing it was his daughter by a previous marriage. Sadly by the next census - 20 yrs. later since the 1890 census was destroyed by fire -, that dau. was no longer enumerated with them. I would like to know if anyone out there has access to birth records for Franklin Co., OH that could check 1774 - 1776 for the birth of a female to either an O'Harra, Harris, or Barr. If so, maybe, when/if time allows you may be willing to check for the birth of this girl. I have been trying to find my GGGrandfather's parents for over 25 years and I'm hoping that by finding a previous marriage, I may be able to find out from where/whom he came. Anything that anyone can do to search the Franklin Co., OH birth records for that time frame for an O'Harra, Harris, or Barr baby girl will certainly be appreciated. Maybe "Ola" Barr, O'Harra, or Harris died or married at some point before the 1900 U.S. census (maybe 1885 - 1900 would make sense) - just don't know, but any info on her may possibly lead to info on my GGGrandfather. Any info or if someone can point me in the right direction - I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Diane
