Posted on: Guernsey Co. OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey/1178 Surname: Griffith, John ------------------------- Almirah Griffith was born near Cambridge, Guernsey Co., on July 15, 1830, according to her obituary. When she married David John on February 14, 1849, in Washington Co., she listed her parents as Thomas Griffith and Elizabeth David. The 1830 census does not list a Thomas Griffith in Guernsey Co., although it lists a Thomas Griffith in Muskingum Co., and one in Belmont Co. Can anyone help me identify her parents?

My gg-grandmother was Martha (HUFFMAN) BARNHOUSE, died 1853. My father remembers visiting cousins Dannie CARRELL, died 1960, and Mary CARRELL, died 1959, who had a farm in Guernsey County and I have determined that their mother was Mary (HUFFMAN) CARRELL. I have not been able to make the connection between Martha and Mary who I assume are sisters. And cannot find any information on Martha's parents. Any help that anyone can provide to help me would be greatly appreciated. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Posted on: Guernsey Co. OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey/1175 Surname: McCandless, Neel ------------------------- Looking for information on John McCandless b. c. 1798 in PA??? He married Mary Ann Neel, daughter of William Neel and Mary Ann Sheridan on October 9, 1828 in unknown place by Reverend Benjamin Wood. They had 7 children: George Hannah, Willian N., Abner, Alexander, Sarah, Mary, and Temperance (I only have these names from hearsay--no proof yet, so they may be incorrect). George was born by all accounts in Madison Township, Guernsey County, Ohio on June 30, 1830, so I believe this would be the best place to begin to try to find John. Any information no matter how seemingly insignificant would be greatly appreciated.

Posted on: Guernsey Co. OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Oh/Guernsey/1174 Surname: BEVARD, MARSH, BOLLER, BORTON ------------------------- I thought I had better update this message line since I have changed addresses. I am decended from William BEVARD (1756-1854) m. Mary Elizabeth LOOKINGBILL (176-1856). Had 14 children. I am decended from their son, Johathan (1803-1881). m. Charity MARSH (1814-1877) in 1833 in Guernsey Co., OH. She is the daughter of Jessie MARSH & Rachel BORTON. All together they had 11 kids. Some of the things I don't have is the decendancy on all of the kids. I also would like a good picture of the grave of William and Mary. They are buried at Stout Cemetery east of Cambridge about 7 miles and south off the interstate about 3 miles. I visited there last year in July and the cemetery was a mess with very few stones left upright, the graveyard overgrown with weeds and brush and full of ground hog dens. Everything points that this is the rest place of William and Mary, but I could not find the stone with out a weed wacker, machete, jack hammer, etc. Any help on this? Larry

It appears that it some point in its handling it got truncated, but I don't know when that was. Unfortunately I don't know how to contact the transcriber, Rick Allen, to get a replacement.

John Miller Hammond was born 16 Sep. 1805 near Hickory, Washington Co., PA, married Elizabeth Scott 29 Nov. 1827 in Guernsey Co., died 4 Apr. 1898 at the home of his son Alexander in Adams Twp., Guernsey Co. Elizabeth Scott was born 11 Aug. 1804 in Washington Co., PA, died 26 June 1883 in Adams Twp. They were both buried in Lebanon Cemetery, Cambridge. Elizabeth Scott was a daughter of Francis & Elizabeth (Hunter) Scott. Francis was born probably between 1760 and 1765 (in Ireland?), died in 1845 (in Guernsey Co, OH?). Elizabeth was born ca. 1775, died ca. 1855. They emigrated ca. 1788. Francis was "a dealer in horses buying them & driving them across the mountains for sale." I've tentatively located them in: - Yellow Creek, now Jefferson Co., OH - Holliday's Cove, near Weirton, Hancock Co., WV - West Middletown, Hopewell Twp., Washington Co., PA (bought land there in 1816) - Brooke Co., VA (1820 census) - Adams Twp., Guernsey Co., OH (1830 census) - Jefferson Co., OH (they sold above land 1835) - Cambridge Twp., Guernsey Co., OH (1840 census). Now the big question is who were their parents? I am descended from Francis & Elizabeth Scott's eldest son John. He married Mariah McCleary, daughter of Thomas & Mary (Lynn) McCleary.
