In looking at the newspaper abstracts which are on the Geauga Co. webpage, I noticed a write-up under Hulburt, actually Gurney. A daughter of Julius Hulburt (Rebecca) married James Gurney. Is anyone working on the Hulburts? Believe this is a nephew of my ggg grandfather, William Millet. William was in Geauga Co as early as 1813 but I didn't know if any others in his family were ever here. Alice ------- USGenWeb Project County Coordinator for the following: Marshall Co.

Just remember that Geauga County was founded in 1806, and that several other counties split off later, including Lake County in 1840. Bill

I have a lot of surnames I'm researching from Geauga Co. Some I have back to New England, but others I need help with. Lyman TOWN m/Betsey PORTER ca/1824 in NY. I need info on the Porter family. Benjamin JOHNSON m/Susannah HULL ca/1791 in New Lebanon Springs, NY. I need info on the HULL family. Other Geauga Co. families that I have researched back to New England; BATHOLOMEW, CUTLER, HAYES, HERRICK, PARKS, SWEET, WILLIAMS. Sandy McSpadden.

I'm excited! This list is not quite 24 hours old and already we have 18 subscribers (counting me & the archiver at rootsweb). Many of you I "know" from the Geauga Co. USGenWeb project. I hope you all will take the time soon to post your Geauga Co families, as Doug has already done. I look forward to hearing from each of you soon!

Hello list, I'm sure glad to have this list. Most of my relatives are from northeastern Ohio and my father's father's family lived in Parkman. They were Marion Thomas GARBER b 1871 d 1944 and Minnie Phadima HOPKINS b 1876 d 1957. They ran a store in Parkman. I just finished a book called "Pioneers and General History of Geauga" which is online at familytreemaker.com genealogy library by subscription. It's probably available at local libraries for free. Many relatives in there including my 3rd great-grandfather Leonard MERRITT who was father of my 2nd great grandmother Permelia Northrup MERRITT b 1823 d 1910. Surnames of cousins and such include HOSMER, ENSIGN, FARRINGTON, and SPERRY to name a few. My 3rd great-grandfather William Augustus HOPKINS b1796 d 1862 was a millwright who aided in construction of mills built near Parkman on the Grand River. My 2nd great-grandfather Matthew Alexander HOPKINS b 1820 d 1911 built a steam saw mill and a house in Parkman in 1847. At the time of its writing in 1878 there were no GARBERs in sight. My 92-year-old Aunt, who got me started on this family history stuff, currently resides with her daughter in Chardon. I sure would like to hear from anyone who knows of the above families.

Hi; I'm researching James McKinlay who came from NY about 1815 or so to Painesville. His son Peter McKinley [note spelling] was involved in business dealing with Alva[h] Cable, with whom he ran a trading business on Beaver Island MI,[about 1848] maintaining contact with Fairport or Painesville. He married Ellen Vosburgh in Geauga Co 1836, and I'm also trying to find her ancestry. Bill
