I am going to the courthouse I can get JWBC and JWBD, we have JWBE at the society. I will see what I can find in my notes. It was just such a surprise to seem that name.

They had connections in Meigs, Lucy ended up there in 1850 or 60 ; and further back in Athens county. Cheryl, I would be interested in the information you have. Lemuel had a brother, Hugh. I believe Hugh's wife, Lucy McAboy, is sister to Rev James McAboy - Baptist turned Presbyterian minister; also an Ohio University Trustee; her brother, Thomas, is listed as a physician. It is a colateral line. We (another researcher and I are working on the McAboys) believe Lucy to be the aunt of Clarissa McAboy. She (Clarissa) married Giles S. Case. He had connections with Case, Sisson and Mathews families in Gallia county. In the Meigs Mortality Schedule for 1850, I found a Lucetta Case, aged 7 (could be 7 months) having died in Aug 1849 of croop. I am trying to connect her to Giles S.Case and his wife Clarissa McAboy. In the Gallia Book of Wills and Estates, there is a listing for Giles Case (JWBE, pg 565). Would these refer to guardianship of minor children? Also, Luther Case (JWBC, pp 465, 570; JWBD pp--- 34. 173,184). What would be the quickest way to get copies of these? Writing directly to the courthouse, or asking someone at the historical society? I know some courthouse's can take months to respnd to requests for copies. Again, thanks for your response to my question. SueEd NY __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
