Dave (or Bill?) Peckenpaugh/Peckinpaugh, could you please contact me off list? I need a favor. Thanks, Jane _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

How about it - Macks or maybe some Brethren historian. I aked about Macks in Ulster about 1800 - they are reported to have come to Guernsey County about 1804 with the Robert/Alexander Campbell family - I heard nothing so I assume nothing is known in the Mack tribe about a Mack family in 1800 Ulster? This is kind of important becuase if they were there we could search for them and maybe find the otherwise elusive Robert and Alexander Campbell of Antrim. I would appreciate a reply even if it is negative. Thanks Hal

I need to take a careful look at the 1830 Federal census for Guernsey Co, especially Wills TWP (to a lesser extent, neighboring townships Madison, Londonderry, and Oxford). The film I have access to is only about 10% readable. I can make out about half the names, w/ some educated guesses, but the demographic stuff -- how many boys age 10-15 &c -- is essential & almost completely faded out. Wills adn Madison are the worst. I just glanced at some of the other townships and they don't seem as bad (they are not good, tho) but they are only of secondary use to me. Has anyone else looked at this? Have access to an unfaded or re-photographed versions? Any advice or help appreciated.

GEORGE HANNAH2 MCCANDLESS (JOHN1) was born June 30, 1830 in Antrim, Madison Township, Guernsey County, Ohio, and died October 16, 1886 in Rose Valley Township, Stafford County, Kansas. He married ELIZA RUTH CALVERT August 30, 1855 in Hiramsburg, Morgan (Later Noble) County, Ohio, daughter of REZIN CALVERT and NANCY COTTON. She was born July 09, 1830 in ??Hiramsburg, Noble County, Ohio??, and died April 05, 1916 in Rose Valley Township, Stafford County, Kansas. Notes for GEORGE HANNAH MCCANDLESS: George Hannah McCandless George Hannah McCandless, son of John McCandless and Mary Ann Neel, was born June 30, 1830 in Antrim, Madison Township, Guernsey County, Ohio and died October 16, 1886 in Antrim, Rose Valley Township, Stafford County, Kansas. He married Eliza Ruth Calvert, daughter of Rezin Calvert and Nancy Dodson Cotton, August 30, 1855 in Hiramsburg, Noble County, Ohio. George had three brothers, William, Abner (who later moved to Seattle, Washington), and Alexander (who died when at 16), and two sisters (names unknown). George and William moved to Hiramsburg, Noble County, Ohio and worked in the carpenter trade. George also served as a Private in the Union side of the Civil War. He was discharged honorably from the 161st Regiment, Company H, Ohio Infantry. At the close of the Civil War George H. and his family moved to Harrisonville, Cass County, Missouri. In Spring of 1877, George and his daughter Emma came to Antrim in Stafford County, Kansas from Missouri. The rest of the McCandless family came out in the fall of that year. According to the 1885 Stafford County, Kansas Census for Rose Valley Township, George owned 320 acres (valued at $2000), three horses, two mules, nine milk cows, twenty-one cattle, one swine, and one dog. It appears that compared with those in the surrounding area, George was quite well off. He is listed as a farmer who came to Kansas from Missouri. Rodger Russell now owns the original McCandless homestead. It is located two miles directly south of the home of Violet McCandless on the east side of the road. Thankfully, the entire place is well-preserved and a beautiful sight to see. No obituary is available in the St. John News because the paper did not exist at the time of his death. George was one of the first to be buried in Rose Valley Cemetery, Rose Valley Township, Stafford County, Kansas. **1860 Census--Noble Twp., Noble Co., OH 524-515 George McCanless 30 Carpenter OH Eliza R. 29 Domestic OH Mary 03 OH John C. 01 OH Look in DAR Lineage Books 152 Vols. More About GEORGE HANNAH MCCANDLESS: Burial: 1886, Rose Valley Cemetary, Stafford County, KS Medical Information: 56 years old at death Occupation: Carpenter Soundex Code: M225 Notes for ELIZA RUTH CALVERT: Ted McCandless, Eliza's grandson, tells of a rosebush Eliza brought with her to Antrim from Missouri. In the Stafford County soil the flower flourished and spread, and root-stalk starts were given to others. Ted's mother, Lula, received one of them and that same red rose was still flourishing in 1955 on their farm. Eliza died the day before the weekly newspaper printing, so she ended up with two obituaries. The first, very brief article appeared in the St. John Weekly News on April 6, 1916, titled "Death of Aged Lady," and it reads: " Grandma McCandless, one of Rose Valley township's most highly respected ladies, died at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The funeral services will be conducted from Antrim Methodist church tomarrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and burial will be in Plano cemetary. Grandma McCandless would have been eighty-six years of age, had she survived until the coming July. Obituary has been promised for next week." The second appeared in the St. John Weekly News on April 20, 1916. Titled "Eliza Ruth McCandless," it reads: "In our last issue we promised a more extended mention this week week of the death of Mrs. Eliza Ruth McCandless, who died last week in Rose Valley township at the home of her daughter Mrs. N.C. Adams. Complying with our request a friend of the family has handed in the following. Mrs. Eliza Ruth McCandless, or as she was known by almost everyone in the Antrim neighborhood where she had lived so long, "Grandma" McCandless, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. N.C. Adams, in Rose Valley township, Wednesday, April 5, 1916. Taken with a stroke of paralysis about two weeks before, she suffered much and felt that her time had come to go to the Better Land. She was born near Hiramsburg, Ohio, July 9, 1830, and had she lived until the coming July, would have been eighty-six years old. August 30, 1855, she was married to George H. McCandless and ten years after moved to Missouri, where the family lived until 1878, when they moved to Stafford county, Kansas. The country was very new at the time and it was from her that the post office got its name--Antrim. She, with her husband, endured many hardships incidental to pioneer life, but with their energy, thrift, and careful management, brought up their large family who have all done well and made their mark in the world. Her husband's death occurred in 1886, and for nearly thirty years, she made her home with her children, where she was always a welcomed guest. Besides her five daughters and three sons, she is survived by twenty-two grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, most of whom were present at the funeral." Eliza's birthplace is questionable, because of the history of the area: "Noble county was formed from the surrounding counties in 1851. Hiramsburg was named for its founder, Hiram Calvert [Eliza's uncle]. The survey was made by John F. Talley Nov. 5, 1836. The original plat contained 20 lots. An addition was made by the same proprietor in 1838 and another in 1858. Before this date, Hiramsburg would have been part of Morgan county." Source: 1887 History of Noble County, Ohio by L.H. Watkins.

Her bed belongs to Violet McCandless and remains in the same room that she slept in. *****According to the 1895 Stafford County Census, Emma lived with her parents in Rose Valley Township. Emma was a charter member of the Antrim Methodist Church. She was considered too frail and thin to ever have children, so she never married. She lived with her brothers and sisters, spending most of her time with her brother William and his wife Lula in the house currently owned by Violet Burwell McCandless. A poem on her obituary reads: Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep From which none ever wakes to weep A calm and undisturbed repose Unbroken by the last of foes.

Posted on: Guernsey Co. OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey/1451 Surname: Bell, Gilmore or Gilmer, Downard ------------------------- Tom, Thank you for your response. In my search for my g.grandfather, Charles Edward Bell and g.g.grandfather William S. Bell, (both born in Guernsey Co., near Antrim, Ohio), I ran into a new cousin who's ggrandmother was a sister of my gggrandmother, Elizabeth J. Gilmore, (Charles E. Bell's mother). She has done extensive research on the Gilmore side and shared lots with me! It is so fun to make all these discoveries! I am interested in both sides. Would like to find out anything more about the Bell side from Charles E., back. I would love to have any info you would like to share! I am very new at this - both geneology and the computer, so I am probably in trouble! Please email: nelldbell@aol.com. Thanks again and good luck in your searches! Wanda

Posted on: Guernsey Co. OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey/1448 Surname: Bell, Gilmore, Downard, Work ------------------------- Margaret, thank you so very much for your response and the info. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. You will probably laugh, but I am fairly computer illiterate! Finally had to give in and get my husband to show me how to get back to rootsweb......anyway.....This is interesting. I hope that I forwarded info about how to get in touch with Nancy in Washington state. Are you also from Washington? What a coincidence! Nancy and I as it turns out, are cousins! Her g.grandmother, Mary Martha Gilmore and my gggrandmother, Elizabeth J. Gilmore were sisters! This search is fun! Seems I remember hearing about you from someone else, in Ohio. Donna,I believe. If and when you get info from Nancy, will you compare it to your info and let me know the outcome? I would like to know if this is another branch of the family tree and if I've found another cousin! I would really like to find info on William S. Bell, Elizabeth Gilmore's husband. Their son, my g.grandfather, was Charles Edward Bell. Both William and his son Charles, were born in Guernsey Co., Antrim, Ohio. I do have the dates of birth and death. I knew Charles E. Bell, as he lived with us for the last few years of his life. Wish I had had both the foresight and maturity to ask about past generations at that time in my life (only 15 at that time). Please keep in touch. I would appreciate email! I do know how to get that! Good luck and thanks again. Have you been at this for a long time? Wanda

Posted on: Guernsey Co. OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey/1446 Surname: Bell, Gilmore ------------------------- Thanks for the response. Will save and let you know if I find any info. There is a new,"long, lost cousin" I have just discovered who is has Frame listed as a surname. She has quite extensive research on the Gilmore family. The Frames are in her history. If you are interested, please email and I'll send it on to you.Thanks again! Wanda

I have just a wee bit about the Frames taken pretty much from secondary sources such as Sarchet's "History of Guernsey County", 1911; the "Home Guide and Instructor"; and the "Portrait and Biographical Record". Sometimes accuracy is not the forte of these sorts of publications. I've not really looked into this line, although my gg grandfather was Samuel Finley who married Catherine Frame, daughter, reportedly, of John Frame and Elizabeth Beatty. Will share. Please contact me directly at tbay@columbus.rr.com Tom Bay, Columbus, OH

I suggest that you write to the Cambridge Library and request them to check and send you a copy. Include a SASE and a couple of dollars to cover their copying and mailing costs. The address is: Guernsey County District Public Library Attn.: Melissa Essex - Finley Room 800 Steubenville Avenue Cambridge Ohio 43725-2385 Regards, Bill When tracing ancestors, please stay within the lines. >HELLO, > >I AM LOOKING FOR SOME WHO MIGHT OBTAIN AN OBIT FOR ME ON: > >EUGENE SHEPLER >DIED OCT 14 1991 >GUERNSEY CO., > >THANKS > >FRED SHEPLER PA.<br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN >Explorer at <a >href="http://explorer.msn.com">http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></p> > >______________________________
