Turtle.......the indians that roamed around in that area were Delaware indians. I am also descended from indians in that area, my great grandfather Sherman General Maple b.1866?was half Munsee-Delaware indian. His mother was Sarah E. Ross, and she was born in Wheeling Township, Guernsey county, Ohio. I would research the Munsee-Delaware indian......google it. Do you have any documentation on proof? How I got proof, I was lucky enough that my great grandfather's brother wrote he was half indian on his World War II draft registration card.....other than that, it has always been a family story......my grandfather was a dark man, and so was my mother. jamie -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: OHGUERNS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, 4 Apr 2008 2:59 am Subject: [OHGUERNS] Native American Heritage This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Seems there were some VOORHES and HAWKIN marriages. I have two.... Elisha HAWKINS and Sarah Anne VOORHES in 1846 (divorced) * Elisha later married Catharine R WADDELL in 1868 * Sarah later married Charles SMITH (after divorce with HAWKINS).... and Elisha and Catherine had a son Hiriam who married a Rosa VOORHES.... My line is Elisha HAWKINS but am trying to figure out which wives is my line! He has a daughter, Mary Rebecca HAWKINS b. 25 May 1856 Senecaville, Guernsey County, OH and she married Isiah WALTERS. Her death certificate indicated that Elisha and Catherine WADDELL HAWKINS were her parents. However, those so-named parents didn't marry until 1868. The VOORHES/VORHIES/VOORHIES and HAWKINS are definitely CONFUSING!!!! Hope the information on these two above death certificates gives you some lead....

I seek information on cemeteries in Center Township, or near that township's boundary. Specifically, I am seeking the grave of Isaac Decker, an ancestor, born 1785 or 1786 in New Jersey, died 1 or 7 March 1836. He was living in Center Township in the 1830 census, probably on rented land since there is no record of land ownership in the land records of Guernsey County. It is not certain that he is buried in Guernsey County, but I would love to know where he is buried. Ronald Overton Decker, Chicago, IL **************It's Tax Time!
