Dawnee Phay McCulley The USGS Geographic Names Information System at http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html allows you to look up things like cemeteries and takes you to maps thereof. When i enter the appropriate information I get this result: http://mapping.usgs.gov:8888/gnis/owa/gnisprod?f_name=pleasant+hill&variant=N&f_state=OH&f_cnty=guernsey&f_type=cemetery&pop1=&pop2=&elev1=&elev2=&cell=&tab=y This page has links to the cemetery, which is located on the western edge of the Salt Fork reservoir. From Cambridge, take US 22 northeast of town. About 2 miles past I 77, turn left (north) on Barrett Hill Rd. After 3/4 mile, turn right (northeast) on Ruby Rd. After 1 mile, turn right (east) on Candy Rd. The cemetery is about 1/4 mile on the left. Liberty Twp. is directly north of Cambridge Twp., and Jefferson Twp. is mostly east of Liberty Twp., but slightly overlaps Cambridge Twp. See the map at http://www.usgennet.org/usa/oh/county/guernsey/maps.html The intersection of the three is on Candy Rd. about 1/4 mile west of its intersection with Ruby Rd.

Does anyone know where I can find a map online of the Guernsey County which includes Liberty Township. I am trying to figure out where the town was located and also where Pleasant Hill Cemetery is located. Pleasant Hill must have been near Liberty Township or Jefferson Township. I am also trying to figure out the location of Jefferson Township in relation to Liberty Township. Thanks. Dawnee Phay McCulley

Karen Conley writes: > Do you know if there is a record of wills and estates for Gurnsey > County for the years 1850 to 1860? I would look in the LDS library records. There should be microfilm. What I have seen for the earlier records is - inventory book - administrator's docket book This latter is like a diary or a minute book The former is kind of like the probate records you might see for, say, 1900-1950 (or even today). But less formal & less complex. I don't know where the wills are. There may be yet a 3rd repository. But I don't know if they had a recording function back then. Wills are mentioned in some of the docket entries. I don't think they are in the inventory, but I haven't looked very hard in there because the entries I was looking for are in the Empty Period (1834-1842). There is an indexed book ,which I do not have access to, Ohio Wills and Estates to 18--? Might finish before 1850. I would recommend also that you contact the local library, the genealogical society, and then the county clerk. There are supposed to be some estate packet collections and supposedly these went to the genealogical society. But I'm not sure what period this "supposedly" covers :^)
