I hope you can visit Gallia County Teresa, everyone on the list should try to make a point of it if they have not done so. It is so worth the visit. A lovelier more peaceful place you'd be hard pressed to find on the Ohio river. You won't find fancy large museums, broadway theater, traffic jams or even many wi-fi locations lol, but what you find are REAL people. No Fortune 500 mentality there, what Gallia cultivates is Humanity. I've lived in too many big cities, so going to Gallia is a breath of fresh air. Where clerks actually smile and wait on you, (now there is a concept!) were complete strangers smile at you as you pass them on the street. Tree lined streets with flags flying and rockers on porches. If I make it sound like "Mayberry" to me it is. And yes, the research is rich and extensive there, but also go to unwind. You can't travel her hills and look out over the Ohio River without seeing what your (our) ancestors thought so lovely and not come back refreshed. -------------- Original message -------------- From: tesmith40@comcast.net > Majorie, > > I've been researching my family's roots for almost 9 years.

You go girl! Teresa P.S.I really enjoy the list.

For the last 25 years, you the genealogist have seen this county blossom with the ability to give freely the information that is so abundant here. Yes, we had a split, but with the split you on the list have been able to take advantage of the priceless efforts of both groups to keep you informed, making you the recipients of wonderful free information. There are many new improvements that came from this split..a website that gives you much more than you could ever wish for..free without charge.... all you have to do is click it from your comfortable easy chair.. and there it is. New and improved information is coming every single day from this area and it is all given freely to you... Look at the list... people from everywhere jump at the chance to help each other.. Willing to go that extra mile for you , no mention of an hourly wage to get it to you... With the price of gas, some of you may never step foot into the rich resource facilities that are here in Gallia county. You may never meet face to face those people who do the research for you. You on the list, have no idea how lucky you are to have all these wonderful researchers from both groups... We have put it behind us.... please do so also.

Majorie, I've been researching my family's roots for almost 9 years. However, I am new to doing my family research in GALLIA County and was not aware of any feuding. But want to say "Thanks" for the volunteer hours you and all the others from Gallia County for helping those of us who reach out asking for assistance. No one should ever have a hidden agenda. I believe that you reap what you sow and I hope that whatever caused the split can be healed and everyone in the long run will benefit. With out random acts of genealogical kindness where would we all be? I know I'd be still hitting lots of those "brickwalls".

Many of us have volumes of research but walk on eggshells on this list because we don't know if we are going to be attacked by people we have never met but they have decided they don't like us because of this stupid split between the two societies. In hindsight, I believe there was more going on than most of us was aware so people on a web list should not judge and just except information that is given freely by whomever. I'm sure this email will not make me a popular person with many but hey, I've been there before and I am willing to help anyone with Gallia County history or genealogy and DAR information, if I possible and with no strings attached.

Thank you very much for clarification on both points, Henny. I'm putting this one to rest, since I think the group has taken this as far as it can go. Thanks to everyone that has helped!

I would just like to say that there are many great researchers here in Gallia County. For the last 25 years, you the genealogist have seen this county blossom with the ability to give freely the information that is so abundant here. Yes, we had a split, but with the split you on the list have been able to take advantage of the priceless efforts of both groups to keep you informed, making you the recipients of wonderful free information. There are many new improvements that came from this split..a website that gives you much more than you could ever wish for..free without charge.... all you have to do is click it from your comfortable easy chair... and there it is. New and improved information is coming every single day from this area and it is all given freely to you... Look at the list... people from everywhere jump at the chance to help each other.. Willing to go that extra mile for you , no mention of an hourly wage to get it to you... With the price of gas, some of you may never step foot into the rich resource facilities that are here in Gallia county. You may never meet face to face those people who do the research for you. You on the list, have no idea how lucky you are to have all these wonderful researchers from both groups... We have put it behind us.... please do so also. Thank you and happy researching Cheryl Thomas Enyart

Well, I was wrong about his age in the 1860 census - it was given as 36, not 26 (wife was only 24), so that would be ca 1824. That's awfully close to "almost 67", which is what that death record you found says. The other issue is that, as far as I could tell from census records for Isaac and his first wife, they had no children. When he married Margaret Lucinda, it's entirely possible that, by time he died, nobody knew exactly just how old he was. I've checked FamilySearch until I'm blue in the face for a death record for Margaret and/or Lucinda Baker or Roman, and I can't find anything. The last I knew, she was living in Lawrence County next door to her brother. I can't find her in the 1910 census, so I think she died before the death records went to the state. Hers might be in Lawrence County. Fox-Fairview Cemetery is where a couple of other members of her family are buried, though, and her Wilson siblings moved back and forth between Gallia and Lawrence counties so often that it drives me to drink. With the exception of Isaac's age being a couple of years off, doesn't it look as though everything else is lining up pretty well? It does to me, but, of course, I'd like this torture to be over. :) Henny Evans wrote: > I should have looked before I asked.

I should have looked before I asked. Isaac Roman died 7 Jul 1894 aged 66y 10m 7d But that makes him turning 67 that year so he would have been born about 1827 so who is he? No death record for Lucinda through 1916. Might be on the family search site. As for Joanne...she's a huge help to many people!! Applause from here as well. Henny quick down and dirty answer is M. L. was born in 1837 and Isaac roughly 1843, but that's on the basis of only one census listing found for him. M. L. Baker (if it's who I suspect it is) was born ca 1837 and listed as Lucinda in an 1850 census record for her family, and that's fine tuned to June, 1837, in the 1900 census for her when she is listed as Lucinda Roman. There was a Margaret Wilson who married Lewis A. Baker in 1855. Lewis died about 1884 or 1885. There's a marriage record for a Margaret L. Baker to an Isaac Roman sometime between 1888 and 1892, according to Lawrence County marriage index listings. Isaac Roman shows in a couple of Lawrence County censuses, and his age in the 1880 is given as 57, so that would be ca 1843. He was dead by 1900. That's as much as I have. I do know that the Lucinda Roman of 1900 is the same person who was married to Lewis Baker, because she has a daughter in her home in 1900. That daughter's marriage record lists her with a maiden name of Baker, and she appears in earlier census records for Lewis Baker and his wife, Lucinda. (No, not Margaret!) Have I put everybody to sleep now? By the way, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Joanne Galvin who has helped me a tremendous amount in getting this far in this mess. I think I totally wore her out with all of the research and the long e-mails. Could we please have a public round of applause?! Henny Evans wrote: > Yes indeed, side by side.

Oh, you may be sorry you asked! The quick down and dirty answer is M. L. was born in 1837 and Isaac roughly 1843, but that's on the basis of only one census listing found for him. M. L. Baker (if it's who I suspect it is) was born ca 1837 and listed as Lucinda in an 1850 census record for her family, and that's fine tuned to June, 1837, in the 1900 census for her when she is listed as Lucinda Roman. There was a Margaret Wilson who married Lewis A. Baker in 1855. Lewis died about 1884 or 1885. There's a marriage record for a Margaret L. Baker to an Isaac Roman sometime between 1888 and 1892, according to Lawrence County marriage index listings. Isaac Roman shows in a couple of Lawrence County censuses, and his age in the 1880 is given as 57, so that would be ca 1843. He was dead by 1900. That's as much as I have.
