I am looking for information about the parents of Enos WARD. He was born about 1802 in KY; he married Elizabeth POLLOCK Dec 28, 1825, in Greene Co, OH [There was an earlier marriage of Enos WARD and Betsy BULL in Greene Co. It seems likely that it is the same Enos WARD, with the assumption that Betsy BULL had died soon after the marriage.] Enos and Elizabeth (POLLOCK) WARD had the following children: Andrew WARD, b: 1827 Joseph Pollock WARD, b: 1828 Charles N WARD, b: 1831 Elizabeth WARD, b: 1836 William WARD, b: 1840 It is likely that Andrew and Joseph were born in Greene Co before the family moved to Logan Co, OH. Joseph Pollock WARD married Emeline LOUGHEAD July 11, 1850 in Logan Co and was living in his father Enos' household in Logan Co as of the 1850 census. I have a hunch that I may have found Enos WARD's father. There is a William WARD in the 1820 Greene Co, OH census in Xenia Twp. William is in the 45 and up age range with a male in the household in the right age range for Enos. Living nearby are families who connect with the WARD family: John POLLOCK (Elizabeth POLLOCK's father), William LAUGHEAD/LOUGHEAD (Emeline LOUGHEAD's father), David LAUGHEAD/LOUGHEAD (William's father). Other nearby families with connections are those of MITCHELL, JACKSON and BULL. William WARD is also listed in the 1830 Greene Co, OH census and is shown as being in the 60-70 age range, which would make his year of birth approx. 1760 to 1770. Enos is not listed and may have moved to Logan Co by this time. I would appreciate any information about this family, particularly anything that would help prove or disprove that William WARD was the father of Enos. Thanks, ~Suz

Wayne, Thanks to you also for more information about the cemeteries around the area now known as Fairborn, Ohio. It is much appreciated! Betsy Earley

Today, I just happened to be on Rt. 235 outside of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and saw the small cemetery just inside the Air Force Base's fence. My daughter who was with me driving said, " Mom, just think of all those people buried there and that they didn't know that one day they'd be in an Air Force Base." And I added, "Right on the flight line!" However, either we were in the wrong part of Fairborn, or the wrong part of the base, and I did not see another cemetery outside of the base's fences. Could someone give me better directions as to the location of THAT cemetery?? It is much appreciated. Betsy Earley ---looking for WILSON in Fairfield, Ohio- early 1800s Search over 1 Billion names at Ancestry.com! http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist1.asp Ron, There are three small ceneteries on Wright Patt AFB. Cox is the one seen on the flight line from SR234. This area had once been the edge of the village of Osborn. Continue into Fairborn. The first traffic light (next to the BP Station) is Broad Street. Turn right from Central (SR235) onto Broad St. (SR235 & SR444). Continue on Broad Street to Gate 1-C. Fairfield Cemetery is an active cemetery which shares a fenceline to the south and west with the base. It can be entered from Dayon Drive next to Gate 1-C most of the time but sometimes the gate is locked. There is another entrance from Clover St. & Second whicn does not have a gate. This cemetery was a removal area for the many small burial grounds in and around Fairfield and also the Catholic Cemetery which is accessed through the same gates. Another pioneer cemetery can be found near SR235 as it leaves town toward Xenia. After crossing the RR tracks bear left onto Sport St. The cemetery is to the left. There are several others in and around Fairborn that were used by early Fairfield residents. For the other base cemeteries you will need help locating them after you get permission to enter the property. One is hidden in some bushes near HDQ. The Greene County Room has transcriptions of all known graves for all of the Fairborn area and WPAFB cemeteries. Good Luck. Wayne Seibert

Brian Jarvis, another list member, provided great directions to the other "Fairfield" cemetery . Thanks, Brian! Betsy Earley

Hi All, Looking for some of my Swigart family who are buried in Jamestown Cemetery would anyone have info on burials there. Thanks, Steve

Dear Listmembers: I'm writing today regarding Adoption Searches, as to how one may apply it to Genealogy Research. Most adoptees and/or birthparents and other extended family eventually search for their missing family members. As a reunited adoptee myself, I now help others to search and reunite. I am often hired by birthmothers and siblings of adoptees to locate their missing/lost family member for them. Adoptees are very concerned with past generations of family history. Even tracing death certificates is quite helpful to an adoptee when filling out a medical history form in their doctors office (those who haven't traced their family of origin have nothing to write on their health forms). The state of Ohio has a Birth Index and Supplemental List. My information covers 1959 through 1989 and was purchased through Vital statistics in Columbus, Ohio. Those who require assistance may contact me directly. Birth Indexes list all babies born on a given DOB in any area of Ohio, used by adoptees to learn their name at birth, enabling them to locate their family of origin. Supplemental Lists are the name changes or amended names of the adopted, used by birthmothers and other family members to locate an adoptee by their current adopted name. I'd like to invite anyone with an interest in adoption to join my Ohio Triad mailing list. Reading the archived digests will provide links and addresses to information concerning Ohio and the many public records available. Information, resources, databases are available at very reasonable cost. Sincerely, E. Kimble Reunited Adoptee Ohio Adoption Searcher [email protected] [email protected]

Re: the surnames, Haughey, Mallory, and Sturdyvan, I found no reference to these names in the Beavercreek Township Cemetery Inscriptions book, which, by the way, is indexed. Sorry. Ron Tobias

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I sure wish I could find birth records for this period of time and that would clinch it for me...or an obit for as early as 1840 when Juliann died. I would like to find that Julian left one infant son...he would be my ggGrandfather who was born 1839 in Greene County, Ohio. Do you have any idea where I might find some kind of record of birth, etc. this early?

Louise, Thank you so much you are a dear to copy all of this for me. And thanks for the info on the book too maybe I can find a copy. One thing I notice is that is states that Nancy is a daughter and an infant son but doesn't say so in Julianns case.

As you go back to Pennsylvania in your searches, don't forget to also check for the German word for white, which is weiss. Many German families changed their names to the English translation of their German name, such as Zimmerman becoming Carpenter. Thus, just because the name *looks* English does not always mean that they came from England! <G> Nedra, I know my Schumacher's became Shoemaker's in quick order. I haven't found anything spelled any other way except White but sure will keep Weiss in my mind. Mom said she had English, which I found and that was Pownell, Irish which I thought was White, German which was Click's and then she tossed in PA Dutch. I know my Dad's entire family could have been called PA Dutch. All of my lines were here in the early 1700's it seems. I would love to get back and connect me with the REV. Now if James White the REV soldier which I have his pension papers would just be my gggrandfather and James White is my ggrandfather I am in like flynn. Nedra I am the one who has the eternal one more "dumb question".......lol Thanks for any thoughts you have as I am a rookie. Tootsie Shoemaker Tomlinson

WV for 4 >years at the same spot. >http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ussearch.htm I totally understand how you feel. Hampshire County was settled early "generally" by those migrating from eastern Pennsylvania through Frederick County, Maryland. Many persons then followed the Potomac-Ohio Rivers westward, dropping off anywhere along their routes and on both banks. Thus, we find these settlers (sometimes progressively) in southwestern Pennsylvania, northern Kentucky, southern Ohio, etc. Yes, they went through Ross County to get to Greene, and again may have stopped over/left family members behind/etc. anywhere along the way. One of my lines was a tenant farmer who kept going back and forth between NW Ross and eastern Greene, living on the land of whoever he currently worked for but showing also that communications were active between the two locals. An example of "leaving behind": The Glantz/Klontz/Clontz families of two brothers John and Jacob came from Berks County, PA, and are found in Clark County (Madison County) in 1840. By 1850 they have moved to Stephenson County, IL. The entire family except the oldest son of Jacob, William Klontz, who married a "local girl" in Ross Township, Greene County, OH, and founded the entire clan of Ohio Klontz's. Proving this migration is certainly facilitated by Jacob's estate settlement in Illinois which names son William of Greene County, Ohio! <G> But this also shows that one must follow the entire family, not just the direct line ancestors.
