I am looking for a descendent of John Carter, son of John and Mary Lehr Carter regarding documentation on his place of birth. Contrary to prior belief in various sources, George Carter and Issac Carter were not born in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Both Issac and George list their place of birth as OHIO on all census records. Rebecca Carter Allison and Nancy Carter Allison are the only two children that consistently list their place of birth as Virginia. Denise

This is for anyone on the list who is also on the Gallia County one. I found the funeral book for Bazil Abraham Betz at a flea market yesterday. He was born in Gal(l)ia County on August 15, 1872 and died in Parkersburg WV January 15, 1940. He was buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery on Jan. 17, 1940. Surnames of those who signed the book or sent flowers are:Grisso, Long, Wakefield, Wolfe, Foggin, --dkins, Shreeves, Benham, Day, Buckley, Deem, Ballway, Kern, Ballway, Lowmant, Bartlett, Lour(?), Perk--s, Franks, Clem, Six, Mills, Lynch, Bradley, Shumway, Theis(?) There are some who signed only given names and some names that I can't read. If someone can forward this to the Gallia group I would appreciate it. If anyone has a connection, I will gladly send the booklet. There were a lot of letters and some bills in the same box with the booklet. There were also some pictures in the box. but no way of telling if they came from the same place. I did not purchase any of the other items but will tell the location of the flea market to anyone who is interested.

Can someone confirm if property lying in Range 15, Township 4, Section 5 is in Clay Township? John Gilmore (and Sally, his wife) sold 31 acres in this section to Mathias Angel in 1837. Would someone be willing to check the deed records to determine how John Gilmore acquired this 31 acres? Some years ago I copied some Gilmore deeds but didn't realize that one day I would to know how John came into that piece of property :) Thanks very, very much for any advice! Sheri Culler

Range 15 Township 4, is Harrison Township Clay is Range 14 Township 2 Now looking at the Plot maps from the 1874 Gallia County Atlas, you will see that Section 5 is on the border of Clay and Harrison and Jacob Loucks owned the majority of it. By the way , this is a very handy book to have and is sold at the Gallia County Historical/Genealogical Society . It has plot maps of the various townships. To find the Range and Township number though I used the front of the book Gallia County , Ohio Residents 1800-1825. It has a very nice article, map and chart on how to determine the range and township numbers. It is also sold at the Gallia County Historical / Genealogical Society. Two books a researcher for Gallia County should definately own.

HOOVER. It is not an easy task to describe adequately a man who has led an eminently active and busy life and who has attained a position of relative distinction in the community with which his interests are allied. But biography finds its most perfect justification, nevertheless, in the tracing and recording of such a life history. It is, then, with a full appreciation of all that is demanded and of the painstaking scrutiny that must be accorded each statement, and yet with a feeling of satisfaction, that the writer essays the task of touching briefly upon the details of such a record as has been that of the honored subject whose life now comes under review, Elder David F. Hoover. David F. Hoover is the son of George and Catherine (Rife) Hoover and was born in Jefferson township, Henry county, Indiana, on the 9th of November, 1846. The Hoover family is of German extraction, though the immediate ancestors of the subject were natives of Rockingham county, Virginia. The subject's maternal ancestors were also natives of the Old Dominion, and there grew to maturity. Shortly after his marriage George Hoover and his wife left their native state and located in Henry county, Indiana. This was in 1836, when the country was mostly covered with woods, but he bought a tract of land from his brother and entered upon the task of creating for himself and family a home. In 1859 he erected the house in which the subject now resides and lived in that house until his death, in 1889. He was the first elder in the German Baptist Brethren church in this community and held that position for the long' period of thirty-five years. He was prospered in his business undertakings and gave each of his children a good start in life. At his death so methodical and precise had his arrangements been that no administrator was required to settle the property. He was the father of the following children: Joseph R.; Anna A., the wife of Jacob W. Yost, deceased; John J., deceased; Mary, deceased; David; Sarah, the deceased wife of John Bartow, and Elizabeth, the deceased wife of Charles Wright. The subject of this sketch was reared upon the home farm and received the benefit of a good common school education. He prepared himself for the profession of teaching and at the age of nineteen years taught his first school in Iowa. He was remarkably successful in this vocation and continued it through fifteen terms. In 1877 he was chosen to the ministry of his church and in 1885 was made an elder and has since had charge of the congregation to which his father had ministered for so many years. Since that time he has done much effective work in the cause of the Master, being at times engaged in special evangelistic work, and he has united in marriage about one hundred couples. He received at his father's hands about fifteen hundred dollars with which to commence life and he has exercised such wise judgment in his business affairs that he is today the owner of one hundred and fifty-five acres of good land and is entirely free of debt. Politically he has been affiliated with the Democratic party and in 1882 was elected trustee of his township, in which office he served efficiently and to the satisfaction of his constituents. In 1887 he was chosen trustee of the Aged Persons' Home and Orphans' Asylum, in Jefferson township, of the German Baptist church, and is also the editor of the Home and Orphanage Monthly, a paper established in February, 1902, whose circulation is principally among the members of this church. Mr. Hoover was united in marriage on the 22d of February, 1872, to Miss Mary C. Bouslog, at South English, Iowa. She was born in Henry county and was a schoolmate of her husband. To this union were born seven children, five still living, the names of the latter being as follows: Joseph L., born November 12, 1872, married May Benbow and both are engaged in the occupation of teaching; John J., born February 18, 1874, married Allegra Fraizer; Charles E., born February 15, 1880, is unmarried and lives at home; George H., born October 28, 1881, and Paul, born April 16, 1885. There are few men in Jefferson township who have more richly earned or more universally given the highest meed of admiration and respect for the work he has accomplished in life and as he has gone about endeavoring to follow out the teachings of the lowly Nazarene he has accomplished a measure of good which can only -be calculated in "that great day." He has won many loyal friends who have come to know and appreciate his true worth. Mr. Hoover has in his possession a couple of interesting and valuable heirlooms in the shape of two parchment deeds executed March 20, 1837, and signed by President Martin Van Buren. ==== INDIANA Mailing List ==== If you wish to unsubscribe from the Indiana mailing list, use INDIANA-l-request@rootsweb.com or INDIANA-d-request@rootsweb.com if you are on the Digest list. ============================== Jumpstart your genealogy with OneWorldTree.

LEW LANE, UNION SOLDIER, DIES AT HIS SON'S HOME His Passing Leaves But 23 Union Veterans In Gallia County - Family Lives on Old Hannan Farm Lewis Lane, who entered the Union army almost 70 years ago, died at 7:30 this morning at the home of his son, James Lane, in Ohio township. He is survived by another son, Bert Lane, and by three daughters, Mrs. Jessie Ross, Mrs. Effie Warden and Mrs. William Phillips. Death was due to pneumonia which climaxed an illness of a few days from influenza. Mr. Lane's death leaves but 23 Union veterans in this county, if a compliation made by The Tribune in February is complete and correct. Twenty-six names were listed, but in that number was Lewis Collins's name, now believed to have been confused with Lewis Lane's. Since the latest list was published on February 9 Silas Litton died, his death occurring here February 20. Funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock Wednesday at the Swan Creek Church of God by Rev. Earl Cremeans. Burial in the churchyard there by Undertaker C. R. Halley. Mr. Layne enlisted in Co.
