Regina, Nice to hear from you. I have been working on this now for about a year. It isn't ready for publication yet but I can look and see if they are mentioned. Maybe in the Fall. You must remember that this is a list of rivermen who might have been sick and or injured. If the names don't appear, it isn't that they didn't work... it is that they weren't sick or injured by the job. I will keep the names on my computer and iIF I come up with some other research, I am always looking in the River News columns when I can. I will try and look for them. I will check my list on Monday. Cheryl Regina Smith <ras411934@yahoo.com> wrote: Cheryl, I am very interested in the index that you are working on. I know that several of my Angel ancestors worked on the river, Including my grandfather, Henry Hampton Angel. My father, Curtis (Curt Angel) worked with him, probably as an assistant cook. I know he could not have worked long since he and Mother were married in 1914 when he was 20 years old. They met at Selby's shoe factory in Portsmouth where they were both working. Grandpa Henry Angel was still working on the river when he died in 1927. It is my understanding that they worked for the Green Lines. My great grandmother, Ruth Jane Angel's second husband, James L. Angel also worked on the river boats much earlier than Dad and grandpa,probably in the 1860s-1870s. I also have a postcard that was mailed to my grandma Angel from Henry. There is a picture of two unnamed men on the front. My guess is that one was the captain, the other, perhaps Grandpa. Can you tell me when and how this index will be made available to the OGS members? Thank you so much for all of your hard work and for all of the help that give to list members. Sincerely.

I am indexing them by man, riverboat, and captain. This should give us a good idea of what our river system was like. Each of these forms gives the man's name , age, home area, port of the riverboat, and the captain of the boat. It also gives us the color of hair, color of eyes, complexion, height and weight. It gives us a mental picture of what the man looks like. Once the index is done, people can order the form and be able to use this as a part of their ancestor's story. Any and all information is a help. Cheryl Enyart Citizens of Gallipolis are considerably agitated on account of the efforts of Congressman Hogg, of W.

Cheryl, If you by chance come across any info of a John Gordon who died on the Ohio River in around 1850's, please let me know. I know he was living in Raccoon, and once he died ( supposedly coming down the Ohio River) his widow and children returned to Augusta county, Virginia. That is all the info I have. Why he was on the Ohio I do not know. Appreciate any and all help to get pass this point.
