However, when my 4-great grandparents (John Henderson and Martha Long) came to Belmont Co. in 1804, many of their 10 children came along (although some were already adults - like my 3-great grands, William Henderson and Nancy Clendennin, who came to Guernsey Co., with their first 4 children in1806.) I list John and Martha's other sons as: Thomas (1776-1852) married to Jane Jackson - (but they ended up in Keokauk, Iowa); John M. (1779-1829) married Elizabeth "Eliza" Cook - died Guernsey Co; Robert (1784-1828) married Margaret "Peggy" O'Connell - died Belmont Co.; David (1785-1820) married Margaret Nichols - "think" he died Belmont Co.; and Andrew (1798-1860) who married Jane Nichols - died Belmont Co. I do not have any children listed for any of these sons of John and Martha Henderson - I may or may not have some print-ou! ts from other Henderson researchers with more info on these branches - but much is boxed up as my house is for sale and I will be moving in the near future. Since Belmont Co. is located right below Harrison Co., and by the W.Va. border and Wheeling - it is very possible that the people you mention come down from John and Martha - I just don't have them in my data base. Sorry. ML Coombs

My maternal grandmother's grandparents were Squire Smith and Eliza Rose from near Quaker City, Guernsey Co. Ohio. This area was a part of Belmont Co. until 1810 when Guernsey Co. was formed. Squire Smith's parents were William Smith and Elizabeth Holt - both born in England, and coming to Washington City (D.C.) early 1800's. Wm was a stonemason and worked on the Capital. From there, they came to Barnesville, and then Pultney Ridge in Guernsey Co. I can do a short WORD doc with as much info as I have (not a lot of dates unfortunately) for you from my family tree software, if you wish. There are several Mary's, but don't think I show a James - but some siblings do not have complete listings. Please e-mail me direct. ML Coombs

I received some information on My family and their burial location. I appreciate your response. To answer your question, I don't know if they were Quakers or not. It is possible as Loudoun County did have a core qroup of Quakers in the Waterford area. I have yet to check the meetings records to look for the information. I was hoping that I may find a relative in that area that could help me figure out what happend to them. They sort of disappeared. I believe two brothers never married, I'm unsure of the sisters, and I have no information past 1930 (Census records).
