Hi Linda, I'm looking for some kind of evidence of Sanford York's death. A living cousin I found who descended from one of his other children, had a great-aunt that said that he died in Gallia County. We have not been able to find any record of him being there after June of 1840, when he married Hannah Varney. I truly appreciate any help you can give.

Hi Debra, There is an Ella Cooper born 1824 living in Clay, Gallia in the 1870 census on Ancestry.com. She is living with the surviving children of John and Aleatha and your John is 21yrs old and still in the same household. She is listed as "keeping house" birthplace is New York.

Let's not start this controversy all over again. Joyce forget the spelling police. WE all understood exactly what you meant and still appreciate your time and effort. Keep up the good works. Julie Gerren

I have reached a Campbell brick wall also. I am looking for the parents of Virginia Campbell who married Isaac Call in Gallia Co in 1858. They had two children. Alma and Laura Call. Virginia Campbell is living with the Pollock family in 1860 and is on the census as Virginia Campbell and Alma Campbell although she had already been married to Isaac Call for two years. They were living next to Henry Campbell and George Campbell although I cannot put her with these families in 1850. She was born in VA in 1834/35. Do not know where or when she died. Last I have of her is she remarried John Gerren (Geeren) in 1867 and had three children 1868, 1869, and Henrietta born 22 Nov 1870. This is the last mention of Virginia. Her husband shows up in 1880 in Barry Co MO married to his stepdaughter Alma. They have two children, Walter and a baby boy born at the time of the census with no name. John Gerren's brother James married Emily Cumpston in 1867. They were divorced. He died in Bollinger Co MO in 1883. Some one on Ancestry.com message board has Washington Geren dying on 3 March 1893 who was a resident of Clay OH. Washington Gerren was the first born son of John and Virginia Campbell Call Gerren born in presumably Gallia Co in 1868. I cannot find any of this family after 1880 save for my husband's grandfather John Willis Gerren, second-born son of John and Virginia and his half brother, Walter Gerren who shows up in the 1930 census but not in any census between 1880 and 1930, although a marriage and divorce for Walter were had in Greene County, Springfield in 1907 and 1913 respectively. John's sister Mary Ann married James Fisher. Sarah married a Frasher in Cheshire. Elizabeth lived was still living with her father, Robert (Gearing) , brother David, and a grandson to Robert (not sure if this is Elizabeth's son or not) Charles Gerren who married Elzina Russel in 1890, went to WV, then to Miegs County. Any death notices for Robert Gerren after 1880 or David Gerren after 1880 or Elizabeth Gerren after 1880. All lived in Ohio Township in 1880. Julie Gerren

I do not have any of those CAMPBELL's in my database, and as I have mentioned, I am not descended from any CAMPBELL, my great grandmother married a William Campbell after my grandfather was born out-of-wedlock.

My great grandmother was Ella R Cooper-Arthur (am at work pc, don't have the FTM handy, but I believe she was born in the year 1874, March 1st) Just for my information, does anyone know if another Ella R Cooper, is listed for Gallipolis? And if so what year? Would love to know what the R stands for. Wasn't on her death certificate. Debra

> I can't make any promises, but I do live in Gallia County, and I frequent > Bossard :-) Oops, I should have mentioned that Bossard has the entire Journal, minus some missing issues here and there. During the Civil War the Journal was the Republican paper and the Dispatch was the Democrat. The Dispatch is only available at OHS and cannot be interlibrary loaned. :-( A quick glance over the papers shows only the Journal publishing between 1840 and 50. It may even be available IL, worth a look into at your local library. :-) Linda > GALLIA COUNTY > > Gallipolis Tribune (Gallia) Date: 1890-1940 > Gallipolis Bulletin (Gallia) Date: 1868-1919 > Gallipolis Journal (Gallia) Date: 1832-1918 > Gallipolis Dispatch (Gallia) Date: 1861-1868 > Vinton Gallia Republican (Gallia) Date: 1855-1855 > Gallipolis Gallia Courier (Gallia) Date: 1853-1853 > Gallipolis Buckeye & Gallipolis Journal (Gallia) Date: 1834-1834 > Gallipolis Buckeye (Gallia) Date: 1834-1834 > Gallipolis Gallia Phoenix (Gallia) Date: 1831-1832 > Gallipolis Gallia Gazette (Gallia) Date: 1819-1829 > Gallipolis Gallia Free Press (Gallia) Date: 1825-1825

Va., Regiments hold their reunions in Gallipolis during the coming summer. It is rumored that yet a further number of citizens of Gallipolis will go out to Wichita in the early spring to hold an inquest on the remains of the dead boom. The Rose Commandery No. 43m Knights Templar, of Gallipolis, will join in celebrating Easter Sunday, at St. Peter's Episcopal church in that city.

(Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson) Athens Messenger Feb. 23, 1888 GALLIA There have been 52 conversions and 29 accessions at the Gallipolis M. E. church since the beginning of the revival here. Mr. J. Heatley, of Heatley P. O., at Porter Station, died, recently. He was about 90 years of age, and a gentleman of eminent virtues. Mrs. Jane Love, wife of James Love, who is under bond at Gallipolis for killing her father, the 4th of last July, is very ill with erysipelas. The Gallipolis Journal says: Mrs. Mary Schaefer, the old lady mentioned by us being in he (sic) 91st year,and who received a severe fall while dressing for breakfast, has improved nicely, and will soon be well as ever. The Gallipolis Journal says: Just about 30 years ago this 15th day of February, the peach trees were clothed in their piok (sic) suits of beauty, and we called on the late R. L. Stewart, Esq., for some strawberry plants of superior quality to transplant, and found him planting Irish potatoes.

Charlie Hazlett etal. Your Campbell line is interesting to me. I am the son of Clara Francis Campbell. This is my line: William D. Massie, son of Homer D. Massie and Clara Francis Campbell.

(Copy-write of work and time only apply. Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson) Athens Messenger Feb. 16, 1888 GALLIA The December tax on the saloons of Gallia county amounted to $2, 650 on the total number, twenty-nine. Twenty-six of these are located in Gallipolis, and yield $2, 350. Mrs. Isaac Boatman, a very estimable lady of Kyger, Gallia county, recently died. She was about forty-five years of age, and had a wide reputation as a charitable and Christian lady. Citizens of Gallipolis are considerably agitated on account of the efforts of Congressman Hogg, of W. Va., to have the Marine Hospital taken from the former place and established at Point Pleasant. The Gallipolis Journal says: Mr. E. E. Waddell was a constant user of tobacco, chewing and smoking, for 45 years up to last April, when he sawed right off, and has not used any since, and in the meantime has gained fifteen pounds and is much improved physically.

(Copy-write of work and time only apply. Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson) Athens Messenger Feb. 9, 1888 Mrs. Frank Hern, aged 82, who lived near Addison, recently fell dead with heart disease. An extraordinary series of revival meetings is represented as being in progress at the Christian church at Addison. An encouraging revival is also in progress at the M. E. church there. Editor Vance of the Gallipolis Bulletin is in Washington pushing the claims of Hon. Irvin Dugan, of Jackson, to a Judgeship in one of the Territories. The effort to secure for him the endorsement of Senator Payne has failed. Wednesday night of last week Alderson Boster's storehouse, situated at Moody, Gallia county, was burglarized, but the loss will not exceed twenty- five dollars. Circumstances point strongly to one Charles Williams as having done the job. Williams has borne a fair reputation until recently, when it was found he had forged several saw mill orders and raised the money on them. Williams left for parts unknown last Thursday morning. Charley George a resident of Addison township, Gallia county, a young man of twenty years, enamored of a certain young lady and out of employment which prevented marriage and the care of a wife, became discouraged, one day last week, and took the morphine route to the next world. He left a letter explaining his conduct and claimed to know exactly what he was doing, naming those who should officiate at his funeral services. He leaves a widowed mother helpless. The young lady was also a resident of Addison township.

I am descended from John Mauck and Mary Knapp Mauck of Cheshire, OH. John and Mary's first son, David, born 1826, has descendants whose Y-DNA show that David was not John's son. John and Mary had another son, Charles, whose descendants show that Charles was fathered by John and that John was descended from Joseph Mauck. David's descendants show that David was fathered by a Shamblin, possibly John Shamblin of Mason County West Virginia. Somewhere there is documentation or a note that solves the mystery of how the Shamblin Y-DNA entered the Mauck line. Any clues or hints would be appreciated! Doug Mauck
