Teeter Grosvenor has done all of us a tremendous favor. I know that I can't say a big enough THANK YOU! Within minutes of reading the post to the list that it was there, I went to the site and I knocked down a few of the bricks in one of my walls. I'm hoping that the whole wall tumbles, but even if it doesn't, it sure feels good to have experienced a day that yielded even the slightest 'something.' Thanks for that. Beth Bourque

Al Dawson from Berea, Ohio with a genealogical parable: Last night I did my first posting to the new (to me at least) ALLYN-L@rootsweb.com. It went like this: Hi - new subscriber Al Dawson of Berea, Ohio looking for information on the parents of my ancestor Abigal ALLYN, born October 05, 1765, Windsor, CT, died February 21, 1836 in Tallmadge, Ohio (not in Torrington as the History of Torrington relates, I've seen her grave) married October 05, 1781 (her 16th birthday) Guy WOLCOTT, son of Alexander WOLCOTT and descended from Henry Wolcott of the "Mary and John" - marriage was in Windsor CT. So far I've been unable to link her to any of the numerous Windsor ALLYNs :( Today, on my lunch hour in the newly-reopened Cleveland Public Library I was thinking about my cardinal rule to new rooters and decided for once to follow my own advice: "always go over your old sources and old notes as often as you can, because each new piece of the puzzle might fit into an old hole" (or something folksy like that - lol) And I might add: YOU PROBABLY MISSED SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT THE FIRST TIME YOU LOOKED!!!!!! So I picked up William Richard Cutter (and others) "Genealogical and Family History of the State of Connecticut" (1911), going to final volume (four in all, massive tomes) with the index and looked under ALLYN - sure I had copied this information before... noticed a Benjamin ALLYN, which a footnote in Stile's "History of Windsor" I saw last week got me interested in....read the ENTIRE Cutter entry this time round and found Abigal ALLYN - mine, not the numerous others I've discarded, with birthday one day off - October 6, 1765 - but in Windsor, so I've added this tentaively to my tree, with lots of checking to go (LOOMIS and ALLYN sources I have copied check out so far. Here is a breakdown of new data - I'm posting this to numerous lists and cousins all at one time :) Richard ALLYN = Margaret WYATT prior to 1600 in Braunton, Devonshire, England Matthew ALLYN (wife unknown to Cutter) emigrated, settled in Windsor CT Captain Thomas ALLYN = Abigal WARHAM, daughter of Rev John WARHAM, spiritual leader of the 1635 move from Dorchester MASS to Windsor CT by several families of the "Mary and John" landing in 1630. Lt. Thomas ALLYN = Martha WOLCOTT, daughter of Simon WOLCOTT (my THIRD link to this "Mary and John" family :) Lt Thomas died in 1709. Benjamin ALLYN (1686-1713) = Ann WATSON Captain Benjamin ALLYN (1711-1776) = Abigal LOOMIS, daughter of Job and Abigal (FILLEY) [- hey, didn't a filley win the Belmont????] LOOMIS Benjamin ALLYN (born 13 September 1736 - died 1827. He served in Colonel Newberry's regiment in the revolutionary war. First wife, whose surname is unknown to Cutter [ah, well, I live for mystery :)] was a Sarah, who died 9 August 1789, age 50. Only two children seem to have lived long enough to marry: Fitz John ALLYN (born 1763) - big article on him, being a SON; he married a Deborah Philips. AND.....drumroll..... Abigal, born October 6, 1765.

Last night as I posted the fact that the Geauga Co. cemeteries were online, I neglected to give credit to the person who actually did the work. Teeter Grosvenor, of the Geauga Chapter of the OGS, is responsible for getting this all online for us. I believe there is an email address listed for either her or the Geauga chapter on the web page, if you all want to drop her a line & thank her for her work.

A big thanks go out to Teeter Grosvenor. This is a wonderful addition to the website, which I am sure that I will look back at many times. I must say that I have been to the Anderson Allyn Room at the Chardon Library just about three weeks ago for the first time. I was amazed at all the helpful information that I found there, all in that little itty-bitty room. It is the best library that I have been in a long time and I would suggest to all the list members that if you can visit there, you will be more than happy that you did. Congratulations to all of those kind people in Geauga County who have taken so much time to help us genealogists. I appreciate it.

Looking for anyone interested in the following people buried in the Old Settlement Cemetery near Chester(land): Hezekiah and Lovina NICHOLS, Lois and Silas GILMORE, and Relief DUSENBURY.

could someone please tell me where the OLD MILLER CEMETERY, SCOTLAND, GEAUGA COUNTY, OHIO is? Is there a site on the net that I can go to for cemetery locations in the future? Thanks Evelyn and Jim evedudleyjim@home.com

I am trying to find information about my great-great-grandparents, Kinsey Jones, born in Ohio c. 1828, and Mary Shrake (later his wife), born in Ohio c. 1833. I have no information on where in Ohio or their ancestors or siblings, so anything I could get would be fabulous. They married and moved to Wisconsin, first to Fond du Lac, and later to Trempealeau County, where most of their children were born - the eldest was born in 1854. They were my great-great-grandparents. Any chance these names might connect with you? Sue Whitewater

Hi: I am working on a family that seems to be centered in the counties of Lancaster, Cumberland, and Dauphin, Pennsylvania. Margaret KENNEDY was born in 1780 in Pennsylvania. She married her first husband, Mr. McBay and had one son, Robert McBay with him. Robert was born in 1810 in Pennsylvania and had a daughter Susan McBay who married a William Nelson. Robert McBay later lived with his daughter and son-in-law in Garrettsville, OH.. Margaret then marries a Archibald HAZLETT (who was born in Pennsylvania in 1792) They were married in 1817 and had a son in 1823 by the name of James Hazlett, born in Portage County Ohio. James married a Susan LINE in 1850 in Carlisle, Cumberland County, PA, but shows up in the 1850 census in Geauga County Ohio, so it appears that he went back to Carlisle to find himself a wife. Susan LINE was born 4/9/1830 in Harrisburg, PA, by her obituary. This entire family ended up in Portage and Geauga Counties in Ohio. I have found McBay's in the IGI, living in Derry, Lancaster, PA, and Hazlett's living in Carlisle, Cumberland County, PA, and Line's in Carlisle, Cumberland County, PA (this is quite a large family of "LINES" that originated in Lancaster, PA. I have a feeling that my ancestors fit in here somewhere, and wonder if anyone has come across these names. Could anyone offer any tips on what would be the best records to search, to find out who the parents of MARGARET KENNEDY, ARCHIBALD HAZLETT, OR SUSAN LINE might be?? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am completely stuck here. Thanks Laura Hine laura.ann.hine@juno.com
