I too would be interested in any information on St. Vincents Orphanage in Columbus. There is a little information available if you do a SEARCH for St. Vincent Orphanage (maybe narrow it to Columbus as there was another one named this in northern Ohio.) Some of the children were sent to Catholic priests through out Ohio to be raised. These were honorable men to whom the children were sent. Do you mind passing on to me whatever information you might receive? Picnics were held there in the 1950s and 60s and possibly later. I was a "clown" as a young youth there for 1 year at a picnic because some distant relatives were there about 1910-22 with the last names of GRIFFTON and GIBERSON. (Searching for any information on any children with these last names. One was adopted by a STARKEY family in or near Orient, OH; another was reared near Minerton, OH by a French Catholic priest named Vonville; one or more GIBERSON boy died there or at the hospital nearby. Somehow these people were related to a SCHERER who lived for a time in Toledo, OH) St. Vincent and the Orphan Ohio State Asylum for the Insane may somehow be related however, this I do not know. Maybe the Catholic Diocese of Columbus which years ago was at (and may still be here, I don't know) 197 E. Gay St., Columbus, OH 43215, 1-614-228-2453 might be able to help.adopted. Sorry, haven't lived in Ohio for many many years. Also, you may wish to try some type of a SEARCH for Adoption thru orphanage as many of those children were adopted out.

Hi all, Does anyone have any information/pictures/history or websites with information on the St. Vincent's Orphanage on Main Street at Parsons Avenue in Columbus, Ohio? Was this connected to a Catholic church? My husband's great grandfather and two great great aunts lived there for a while and we would like to learn more about the place (and them). All tidbits welcome. Thanks, Donna Michigan Their names are William, Sadie and Elnora C. GOTTERDAM(b @1894).

thanks for looking in all those records for me. my problem is Jane's birth and her marriage to Washington Werter hogbin. Unfortunately both died in 1850 before the census in bond co Ill. Sometimes the name is spelled puntney. susan

Would like to exchange information with anyone researching the following family: 1 George Edward Baker b: Abt. 1833 in , , , Prussia d: of Columbus, Franklin, Ohio . +Catherine Miller b: Abt. 1842 in Mifflin, Franklin, Ohio m: 1865 in Columbus, Franklin, Ohio d: Aft. 31 Jan 1884 of Columbus, Franklin, Ohio 2 Rose Emma Baker b: 1865 in Montgomery, Franklin, Ohio 2 George Baker b: 1868 in Montgomery, Franklin, Ohio 2 William Baker b: 1870 in , , Franklin, Ohio 2 Lille Grace Baker b: 01 Jun 1874 in Columbus, Franklin, Ohio 2 Herbert Baker b: 1875 in , , Franklin, Ohio 2 Birtha Bessie Baker b: 27 Jul 1879 in Columbus, Franklin, Ohio

The Franklin Co., Ohio Marriage records 1803-1840 have been extracted and can be searched on FamilySearch.org. I tried it for you and the only Puntenny(etc.) marriage was a Matilda to an Isaac Huff in 1822. I also tried a search on all of Ohio since the marriage records for the neighboring Licking Co., Madison Co., Pickaway Co., and Union Co. for that time period have also been extracted. The 1830 Census index on Ancestry.com shows 3 Puntenny men in Blendon Township, Franklin Co., OH: Joseph, Nelson, and Nelson H. Blendon Twp. borders Delaware Co., so you may want to try there. If I have time tomorrow, I will check the Fairfield Co. Marriage records at the local Family History Center. I also tried Hogbin in the Census indexes. There was a Wilson Hogbin in Harrison Co., Ohio in 1830, but if Aquilla was from Kentucky, that seems out of the way. 1840 Census index shows a W. Hogebin in Athens Co., Ohio which might be a possible county. In 1840 there was a John Hoagbin in Hamilton Co. which is a good location for Kentucky, but Hamilton Co. had several courthouse fires so many marriage records were destroyed. Generally speaking Ohio birth records started in 1867.
