I suggest you write or call the Guernsey Co genealogical society, which is supposed to have some of those old probate packets. (see the web site for contact info: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/oh/county/guernsey/ ) You may also want to call/write to the Court of Common Pleas, Probate Division to see if they have anything. I have a phone number handy for them (740 432 9262). In a case I was looking at we couldn't find much, tho. We found only the minute book entry(?) Well, not sure what it was exactly, but it consisted of a single sheet that looks like the court clerk's notes about what was done and what court orders to write up, over the 10-yr period (!) it took to settle an intestate estate. No appraisal, no admin letter, no petitions or lists of heirs. These other records perhaps disappeared over the years. Anyone else have any ideas? Are there any experts on early Guernsey Co court records out there?
My gggg grandfather Charles Fryman came to Beaver Twp., Guernsey Co. at sometime in the period 1822-1830. He sold his property in 1822: 7 Sept 1822 Fryman, Chas. to Booth, Edwin Vol J. Page 73, St. Clairsville, Lot 28 $90.00 He had been living in the St. Clairsville area at the time of the 1820 census, and was listed as follows: 1820 Belmont County, Richland Twp., Census, p223 Charles Fryman 1- male over 45 yrs (Charles) 1-female under 10 yrs (Mary's child by a former husband?) 1-female bet 26-45 ( Mary Camp Fryman) This is believed to be an account of Charles' arrival in America: "Jacob Freymann came to Philadelphia, PA from Germany via Rotterdam on Sept 27, 1746 on the ship Ann Galley . The Captain was William Wilson. Johann Henrich Carl Freymann (Charles Fryman) was a two+ year old who accompanied his father Johann Jacob Freymann (Jacob Freymann), his mother and his four+ year old brother, Johann Philipps Freymann (Philip Fryman, Sr.) " He was listed in the 1830 Census as follows: 1830 Census Beaver Twp., Guernsey Co., Ohio, pg 361 Charles Fryman Males of 100 yrs and upward -1 (Charles was 86+, but not 100 in 1830) Females of 5 yrs and under 10 -1 (?New child since 1820 Census, but probably not Charles') Females of 10 and under 15 yrs -1 (The child in the 1820 Cen) Females of 40 and under 50 yrs -1 (Mary Camp Fryman) Charles died some time after 1830 and before 1840 as his widow was listed in the succeeding census records as follows: A Cavanaugh researcher, Robert D. King, BobKing@northlink.com, provided the following: " In doing our Cavanaugh research, we found: Widow Fryman living next door to Timothy Cavanaugh in 1840 @ 70 to 80 yrs with a daughter, she was listed as Mary Fryman in 1850 @ 80 yrs, b. in Pa. and she is 93 in 1860 and living with the Cavanaughs. In all three census years she was found in District # 106, Franklin Twp, Monroe County, Ohio" Anecdotal information has pod of Charles as Elk Twp., Noble Co. and pod of Mary Camp Fryman as Seneca Twp., Monroe Co. I have not been able to pinpoint the location of Charles' property in Beaver Twp. or where that property can be found on current maps, or the relevance of Mary's locations in Franklin Twp., Monroe Co. or possibly Seneca Twp. Monroe Co. If Charles was really over 100 years of age in 1830 I would think that it would have come to the attention of early historians of the area. Any help you friendly people can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Worth, TX, 2000; MMacMurph@aol.com -------------------------- MADISON TOWNSHIP 889 relative to the respective merits of the Bratton and Martin taverns. It was brought in 1811, the year after the county was organized. This is the record: “Absalom Martin vs. James Bratton, slander. Let a jury be called. The following good and Ia wful men came, to wit: James CZoy’d, Frederick Dickerson, John Chapman, Lloyd Frizzle, John Moffit, William Talbert, John Hanna, Wilham Launtz, John Frame, Joseph Cook, John Carlow and Andrew Moore. After hearing the evidence, arguments of counsel and charge of the court, (the jury) retired to consult together, and returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiff of $22 damages. Motion made by defendant’s counsel for appeal to supreme court." We do not know the outcome of the case when, or if, taken to the higher court. Absalom Martin, the plaintiff, was prominent in ~the early history of the county. He was a member of the first board of county commissioners, serving as such when the case was brought against him. The following year he raised a company of Guernsey county men to fight in the Second War with Great Britain, and John Bratton, son of James Bratton, was one of his sergeants. Notwithstanding his prominence as a citizen, Absalom Martin, it is said, never owned any real estate in Guernsey county. The “Buckwheat Line.”-As early as the year 1830 stages ran every other day during the summer months, between Cambridge and Steubenville. They were unlike the highly decorated coaches lined with silk plush that ran on the National Road; they were ordinary spring wagons with covers for protection against rain and the hot sun. They carried both passengers and goods. A farmer near Antrim contracted with the manager of one of the stage lines to haul buckwheat to Moore’s mill at Cambridge to be ground and to return the flour to him. On many trips passengers and buckwheat were mixed indiscriminately in the stages. This gave rise to the name, the “Buck-wheat Line." (con't pg 890)

Worth, TX, 2000; MMacMurph@aol.com -------------------------- MADISON TOWNSHIP 887 In 1870 H. H. Bowers, Albaugh and Boyd, and Bickham and Hutchison kept general stores there; D. W. Brumbaugh and W. Harding were black-smiths; Richard Beem was a wagon-maker; C. C. Tolle kept a tavern; and J.H. Crumbacker was the village doctor. For the story of Madison College which was located in Antrim see the chapter, “Schools and Education.” An Antrim war story may be found in the chapter, “Morgan’s Raid.” On August 18, 1836, when Antrim was six years old, Isaac Bonnell laid out a town which he called Winchester. It is on the Steubenville road, three miles southwest of Antrim. Bonnell was born in Frederick, Maryland, and, when twelve years of age, came with his father to Madison township. His town is now called Winterset. There is a Winchester in Adams county. For many years the postal authorities would not permit the postoffice in Madison township to be called by the name of the platted village. It was named Brown after its long-time postmaster, Simeon Brown. To avoid confusion the names of both town and postoffice were changed to Winterset. Like Antrim, Winchester never grew as its founder may have expected. Its population in 1850 was 147; in 1860, 197; and in 1870, 179. Among the business and professional men of the village in 1870 were the following: B.Borton, jeweler; Adam Linn, drygoods and groceries; William C. Scott, groceries; Elias Tetrick, nursery; Hiram Stiles, saw and grist mill; R. Burson, proprietor of tavern; and J. B. Kirk, physician. Some Historical Facts.-Historically, that which was first possesses some distinction. Like other places Madison township had its pioneers in the various lines of activity. George Linn built the first mill on Salt Fork, but it was in that part of Madison, that afterwards became Jefferson township. Brindle Wickham was the first justice of the peace. George Wines opened the first store in Winchester, and Alexander Alexander the first in Antrim. John Keepers kept the first tavern in Winchester. William Risk was the first blacksmith in Antrim. Rev. Riddle, of the Associate Reformed church, came into the township in 1820 as the first preacher. The Methodists built the first church in Winchester. First Slander Case in County.-Before the National Road was built there was much travel on the Steubenville road which was considered a better highway east from Cambridge than was either Zane’s Trace or its successor, the Wheeling road. Emigrant wagons westward bound, droves of cattle and hogs on their way to eastern markets, and wagon-loads of farm products or merchandise passed daily through Madison township. For the entertainment of the travelers many of the settlers kept taverns. Two of the tavern keepers in the Winchester neighborhood were James Bratton and Absalom Martin. The first slander suit in Guernsey county grew out of a controversy (con't pg 889)

Antrim was laid out by Alexander Alexander, March 1, 1830. Sections No. 1, No. 2, No. 9 and No. 10, situated in the northeastern corner of the township, were reserved by the state and set apart for school purposes when Guernsey county was formed. As were other school lands, they were to be leased and the income used for school purposes. By authority of a legislative act these lands were sold when the term of the lease expired. Alexander bought the northwest quarter of section No. 10, platted twenty-four lots, twelve on each side of the Steubenville road which passed through his quarter section, and named his town Antrim, honoring the Irish ancestral home of certain Madison township people. The Ohio Gazetteer, published by Warren Jenkins in 1837, describes Antrim as follows: “Antrim, a small post town laid out in 1830, by A. Alexander, the present postmaster, in Guernsey county, 91 miles east of Columbus, 40 miles east of Zanesville, 41 miles northwest of the Ohio River at Bridgeport, 16 miles south-east of the Ohio Canal, 25 miles from Cadiz, 16 miles from Cambridge. It is on the state road leading from Steubenville to Cambridge, and directly on the pro-posed route of the M’Adamized road between the two last named places. It contains about 30 buildings, three stores, two taverns, and sundry mechanics’ shops, three churches, one academy, etc., etc. The seminary is called the Philomathean Literary Institute, and is in a flourishing condition. The languages and sciences generally are here taught, and the situation being healthy and pleasant, much exertion will be made by the Trustees to render the Institute worthy of extended patronage." Alexander’s town never became large. In 1850 it had a population of 252; in 1860, 242; and in 1870, 160. In 1854 general stores were kept by A.Sankey, J.and S. W. Stockdale, and Clark and Company; M. Smith was the tanner and currier; J. R. Moss was the bookseller and stationer; J. Harrison and Brothers, and G. Lytle were fashionable tailors; John Reed was the wagon-maker; Hugh Bowers was the blacksmith; J. Harper was the boot and shoemaker; T. C. Clark and R. G. Stephenson were the village doctors; William C. Dobbins and J. M. Patterson were saddle and harness makers; Metcalf’s tavern afforded accommodations for the traveling public.

Worth, TX, 2000; MMacMurph@aol.com -------------------------- CHAPTER XXIX Madison Township AT THE first meeting of the Guernsey county commissioners, April 23, 1810, the county was divided into five townships whose total population was 3,051. Following the War of 1812 there was a flood of immigration, and by 1820 the number of people in the county had reached 9,292, an increase of two hundred per cent in a decade. For local convenience this necessitated smaller political units, and petitions for new townships were presented. At least a dozen new townships were formed in the ten years following the organization of the county. Among the first of these was Madison. It is now five miles square, but was much larger when set apart by the commissioners. On July 28, 1810, a meeting was called to elect officers for the new township. This was held at the house of Absalom Martin who later served as a captain in the War of 1812. Pioneers of the Township.-James Bratton, who established a home on the present site of Winterset, in 1805, was the first settler in Madison town-ship. The Huffman family came from Pennsylvania in 1809. Among the other early settlers were the Stockdales, of Irish origin; Michael Adair, Robert Campbell, John Saviers, John Hanna, the English family, the McBrides, the Carlisles and the Harfords-all from Pennsylvania; the Weyers, Scotts, Bonnells and Yeos, from Maryland; and Daniel Tetrick from New Jersey. The Cunningham family settled north of Antrim in 1820. They en-tered a part of a thousand-acre tract from which not a stick of timber had been cut. Hogs, having the range of the woods, multiplied rapidly, grew wild, and became fiercer and more dangerous than the native wild beasts. On one occasion a wild boar emerged from the forest and attacked the hogs which Mr. Cunningham was feeding, ripping them open with its tusks. Mr. Cunningham saved his own life by climbing a tree. Old Folks of 1876.-On the hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence a census of Guernsey county old people was taken by The Jeffersonian. Madison township had the following residents over seventy-six years of age: Mrs. Sanderson, Benjamin Berry, Elias Burdett, James Cope. land, Mrs. E. Cramer, Mrs. Anne Ferrell, Mrs. Grizelle, Wesley Gill, Mrs. (con't pg 886) 884

Thanks to the folks that have responded to my questions about early ministers in Guernsey Co. I haven't been able to do all your recommendations yet, but I'm working on it. In the meantime I've found a few more that have connections to my family: JG Whitaker (late 1840's) also H Wharton B Y Siegfried "Y" could be something else any information about them would be appreciated. I'm particularly interested in Whitaker because he signed several Helm female marriages, and I am making the assumption he's probably the family's minister. I haven't found any of these in 1840 / 1850 Guernsey censuses; there are some Whitakers, but the online only has head of household names.

JOHNSON. [Transcribed 19 Oct 2000 from Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Librarys IHS Microfilm Records.] Leander M. JOHNSON, son of William and Jane JOHNSON, was born at Senecaville, Ohio, on October 5, 1846. He was the third of a family of nine children, five daughters and four sons, three of whom have preceded him in death. While yet in his late boyhood, he removed with his parents, brothers and sisters to a farm near Solsberry, Greene County, where under the sturdy influence of a good environment he grew to manhood. It was here he formed the acquaintance of Miss Jane BULLOCK, to whom he was married in April 1872. His marital life was that of faithfulness, love and devotion, which remained constant even after her death, which occurred, August 9, 1917. The greater portion of his mature life was spent in Bloomfield, where he was beloved by all who had formed his acquaintanceship. He came here over forty years ago and was engaged in the omnibus business and farming. He became affiliated with the Presbyterian Church at Bloomfield in which he had membership at time of death.

He died of the infirmities of old age on Sunday evening, December 30, 1928, being at the time of his death, eight-two years, two months and twenty-five days of age. He was naturally endowed with an optimistic sprit; he loved the plain, simple life; he was honest, temperate, reserved in his demeanor, constant in his habits, and faithful to his Creator. He lived a long and good life. Those of his brothers and sisters who survive him are: Mrs. Carrie YAKEY and Harry E. JOHNSON, of Bloomfield; Mrs. Hattie GRAY, of near Solsberry; Charles JOHNSON, of Reno, Nevada, and Mrs. Edith LAW, of Tulsa Oklahoma.
