I am looking for information regarding the parents, place of birth, siblings, etc. regarding any of the following from members of the respective families involved. PRITCHETT - JAMES PRITCHETTmarried RACHEL CARTER, need information on RACHEL CARTER PRITCHETT, date and place of birth, parents, siblings, etc. BONHAM - JOSIAH BONAHM married ELIZABETH CARTER Gallia, 1812 - need information on ELIZABETH CARTER BONHAM, date of and place of birth, siblings, parents, etc. WOLFENBERGER - POLLY WOLFENBERGER married JACOB CARTER, Gallia 1824, looking for information on JACOB CARTER, parents, siblings, date and place of birth, children, etc. JOHNSTON - WILLIAM JOHNSTON married RACHEL CARTER, Gallia 1824, information on RACHEL CARTER JOHNSTON, date andplace of birth, siblings, parents, etc. DUNGHY - SALLY DUNGHY married BRAXTON CARTER, Gallia 1827, information on BRAXTON CARTER, place and date of birth, parents, siblings, children, etc. JONES - HARRIET JONES married FENDLE CARTER, Gallia 1827, information on FENDLE CARTER, place and date of birth, parents, siblings, children, etc.

Just out of curiosity, how much would a $1.00 have taken a person in 1839?

I was thinking much the same, but also, wouldn't it weaken the ice?

Joyce Ahhhhhh!!! These people are a nightmare! I'm quite sure I would not have figured this stuff out without the lot of you all from this list. As I just told someone else in an email, they are certainly a twisted fine on the family branch! And I thank you Joyce for all the hard work you've already done on this family, how in the world did you unravel them? Debra

Thank you Cheryl for looking all that up. I wonder why their son John Cincinnatus wasn't apart of that? He was there, living in Clay Twp, or Thivner (sp?). Guess he felt he was getting a big enough pention from his time in the war. Just seems odd. Debra

Indeed they were hardy....but it reminds me of what Will Rogers had to say about pioneers: " I think if we just stopped and looked history in the face, a pioneer wasn't a thing in the world, but a guy that wanted something for nothing." LOL, hardy, yes, but looking for free land after he had exhausted the old land....... On 3/16/2005, "Jokagal@aol.com" <Jokagal@aol.com> wrote: >Thanks, Charlie.

Thanks, Charlie. I also suspect that they went from Rhode Island to VA then to Kanawha to Marietta to Gallia...in the span of twenty years.I find him owning property in Kanawha in 1792 and 1793 and then around 1800 in Washington County (perhaps earlier) and then Gallia in 1806. Makes me dizzy! The thought of doing that and dragging everything you own and six children to boot. Those pioneers were hardy stock!

Indeed. that would be Washington County, Ohio ?? Apparently they decided to try Marietta, and once there decied to come on down the river..... Interesting. Do a google on "Kanawha Trace" for some interesting reading about pioneer migration along that river.

My relatives started out in Kanawha and then went on to Washington County, Ohio and then finally to Gallia County. So, I guess the trtaffic went both ways! Joanne Galvin Researching Northup, Hampton, McCall, Phelps, Blake, Daggett, Syler, Berrridge,Plymale, Kinder, Cottrell, Gilbert

Debra John C.Cooper was listed in the ones that would get money once the land was sold. It could be that he didn't want to be a part of the suit. I know that lots of times people would much rather not get involved when a will is contested.. I had an aunt that died and left certain people money. Two of my cousins contested the will, they ended up with nothing but egg on their face. Could be that John C. didn't want any part of it.

Good point Charlie. My Ward ancestors came from Columbiana County, Ohio, it took me quite a while to figure out that Columbiana was as you said, a stopping off place before coming on down the river. I later found they were from Pennsylvania.
