I am looking for anything on Von/Vaughn/ or possibly Leon V. Clark. He is on 1880 Gallia census as "Von" but on his children's birth certificates as "Vaughn" and I found him in another's genealogy as Leon V. I have that he was born August, 1865 in Ohio (census) and died 02 Oct 1905. Married Mary Walters 22 Jan 1885 in Gallia County. Both children, Lester and Luella, were born in Gallia County. I cannot find anything on him prior to the 1880 census, thus I am unable to find his parents. The county has looked up specific records and I'm afraid that this person just went by several different names and spellings. It might just have to come down to what males were born in August, 1865 that might be him. Any help is appreciated, thank you. Mary Clark

The following obituary was printed in "The Leader", Pomeroy, Ohio, Thursday March 03, 1904: "DROPPED DEAD Postmaster N. R. Rothgeb of Cheshire in town this morning, informs us that Mr. Solomon Frasier living on Turkey Run about two miles from Cheshire fell dead this morning from heart failure. It was a terrible shock to his family such a thing not being dreamed of. He was not a robust man at all, But was going about in his usual health. He was 48 to 50 years old and leaves a wife and several children, all grown but one or two. He left a brother, Edward, of Cheshire and a brother, George, of Floodwood. He was a nice man, well respected by every one. Gallipolis Tribune. Teresa Herrmann Columbus, Ohio

Hi Ginny, Yes, I remember, we are connected through Clarissa's mother's line - the Evertons. Since Lucetta would have been born after his death, but before the probate documents, I was so hoping that she would have been mentioned. That would have settled speculation once and for all - even if she hadn't been mentioned by name. Also, things were viewed differently then than now.... and technically, at his death, there was only the widow and a daughter.... It is like putting an old jig-saw puzzle together - the edges are a little worn and someone puled the picture of the piece - all the pieces seem to fit, but you are left wondering, if it is exactly the right piece. When I get the document transcribed, would you like me to email you a copy? I also have the probate records for Giles father - Luther Case, if you are interested. Hope all is well with you, SuzE --- [email protected] wrote: > Hi Sue, > I am sure you remember we share this line so let me suggest that in > those years pregnancy was not talked about or even eluded to in nice > company.

Hi Sue, I am sure you remember we share this line so let me suggest that in those years pregnancy was not talked about or even eluded to in nice company. So yes it sure is possible the child she was carrying wasn't mentioned. I have another case like that out in MO about the same time. Had the babe not been male and named for his father we would still be scratching our heads. I do think both of the girls were Giles daughters.

The widow was named the "admministratrix" and later in the document their minor daughter was mentioned. My question: If the widow was pregnant at the time of the ancestor's death (Dec 1848); gave birth (Feb 1849); and the Probate docutment was dated 11 May 1849 - would the infant have been mentioned? Or because birth was after his death, was not mentioned? In 1900 census, my ggg-grandmother stated that she gave birth to 7 children - we (various researchers) have accounted for 6 - 1 daughter from first marriage, 3 sons, 2 daughters from 2nd marriage. Some researchers have mentioned that family stories indicate she had 2 children with her first husband. In the 1849 Mortality Index, I found a Lucetta Case - died Aug 1849 age 6 (year/month no stated) of croup - there are no other Case's in Meigs or Gallia County in the 1850 census. Further down the page there is a Lovina Chase who died in Aug, 1849 - her age is given as 7 (year/month not stated) but her grave stone says 7 months. So it is possible that Lucetta was 6 months - this would fit for the child of Clarissa and Giles S. Case Does the fact that she is not mentioned in the court papers mean that Clarissa and Giles only had one child? Or, if she was born after his death, would she not be mentioned in the court documents? Any help/comments would be appreciated.

I, too, agree that the annotated publications can be very valuable. I've done extensive research in another area, where the local society did a short series of annotated census books. Those contained all kinds of valuable clues to making matches that aren't found in any other readily available research publications. Any information that has already been gathered should most definitely be included, most especially when one book, such as of cemetery inscriptions, is an update of one previously written and published. > >
