I have Seth E. Worthing 1852 - 1900. Harriet A. Boothe his wife 1854 - 1910. My cousin found a grave that none of us ever saw before, and really has us stumped. It's the grave of a baby, who's name if there was one is unreadable. Possibly Kenno O. What we do have is G.E. & L.M Worthing Feb.4. Feb 7, 1807. Who on earth can these people be? The date is way too early. I have pictures, but have no scanner to send them. Next question... Do you have a family of red haired. blue eyed people too?

As soon as I get the pictures printed, hopefully I can decipher who is who, and dates and can forward you that information. Alot of the grave markers can hardly be read. I'm hoping I can zoom in on the pictures to at least try to pull some information out of them. Others, are still in fairly good condition and does give names dates and a few with who the parents were. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

August 17, 1878, he was united in marriage with Miss Sarah M. Shriver, two whom were born three children, namely; James, Mrs. Bessie Dervies of Wheeling, W.Va., and Gertrude who died in infancy. After completing his education, he became a druggist and was one of the best know and must skilled pharmacists in Ohio. He followed this occupation until failing health warned him to relinquish active employment. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Downar, both of whom are now deceased. Three brothers are living viz: William and Andrew, of Cambridge, and Newton and three sisters: Mrs. Mary McCoffery and Mrs. Carrie Harris, of Baltimore, Md., and Mrs. Thomas Cochran, of Bellaire, Ohio.

Thank you for the help Elizabeth. Yes, I have used the Sarchet book. It has a couple of my ancestors and provided a clue to look at Virginia/West Virginia for more information. If I can return the kindness to you or someone else contact me. You have my email and may pass it on. MaryLu

I am trying to locate information about Mary Marshall, who married Andrew Kells. She was born in PA and died in 1843 In Guernsey Co. I believe they were married in PA, but moved to Ohio in 1812-14. Andrew Kells died in 1858 in Guernsey Co. and his Will was witnessed by Robert Marshall and John R. Marshall. I feel there is a connection there, but can't find it. Theda Kells Hoyt
