Interment Number 66541 Joyce, The above is the interment record so maybe she was moved 11 years after she was buried in Worthington. That would explain the problem.

Any chance anyone out there is searching for Campbell, Atcheson, Uncles in Franklin County. Campbell and Atcheson are my primary research names in Franklin County. Also, I'm looking for informaiton on Victoria Tolley, Holly, or Kolley - I can't read the last name who was born in Denmark and married James Raymond Campbell in the mid-1800's ...

I found a marriage from Franklin County Court Records, Microfilm#0285142-9285156 for a Dudley CASE and Olive WISWELL. The date of the wedding was 02 Sept. 1851. Does anyone know who Olive's parents were? I have since found that his parents were Israel Putnam and Laurinda (Morrison) Case. I know there were several Wiswell families in Franklin County at the time, but I can not account for Olive. Thank you. Kathy Campbell Jacksonville, FL

You will have to clarify your question on the probate of John or Arthur. As I only copied the info and pasted into the email to you. So I don't believe I can actually answer your question. Do you have access to ancestry.com? This is where that posting was found on the Shimp family. If not there is a little more I can paste and copy to send to you. Lindsey

Dear Lindsey: Who is the Probate Record for? Arthur or John? Dorene

I am trying to locate a record of the death of Robert McCray, born 1789 and according to his war of 1812 pension record, died June 18,1872. The Probate Court of Franklin County said they have no record of his death. Where should I look next? He is in Reynoldsburg in the 1860 census, but no longer there in 1870...of course I am looking for his parents... --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Ralph is listed as head of household but no idea who is living with him. If you can somehow have someone else maybe at a library or LDS center try the second page maybe his mother is living with him. In 1920 the only way Mary/Jennie would be indexed under her own name is when say she would be living with a daughter with a different married name. See?
