You are very right. Let's hope that we inherited their grit and determination. Now I know what my grandmother meant when she said that I came from hardy stock! She was very proud of her heritage and never forgot that she came from Gallia County. Joanne

I agree completely, it was not easy, even free didn't make it easy, just more appealing. I did not mean to demean our ancestors or the achivements they made, for without those achivements what a fine mess we could be in today.....

Very true, but that is easy to say in 2005 with crop rotation and modern farm equipment, fertilizers and County Extension Agents! In those days, they had to hack it out of the wilderness sometimes dealing with hostile Native Americans at the same time. I still take my hat off to them all--life was hard then.

Hooray! Thank you so much! This will help answer so many questions. Diane

Yes, Henny I would love to have a copy. My address is Joyce Hagerty 2455 Knox Road 700 East Oneida, Illinois 61467 I will, of course, reimburse you for your time, postage and copying. We corresponded some time ago about the Harrington line. I have been able to track down a lot of the descendants of the Gallia County lines...some of them even settled here in Illinois. Thanks again.

Yes, Barbara, I believe that the marriage is found as Lotta Betz but due to the fact that William Betz is named as a son-in-law in Letha's death notice I would say that is absolutely correct.

Interesting! I was just looking at it from a monetary point of view. A dollar barely gets us a pack of gum these days, but for those in 1839...I wasn't sure.

Yes, it is her mother and father. the 1840 census shows that both Rachel and William were born in Pennsylvania. William is 50 and Rachel, looks like 49.

Ok, thanks for that bit of info, didn't seem right. I've known people who have done that same, in my husband's family. Even set up with a trust they'd want more. Lawyers ended up getting it all!
