OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey/1199 Surname: Melone, Lawyer, Patterson, Moorhead, McElwee ------------------------- Here's an outline of what I have on the Luzadder family. Aaron Luzadder, b. Sept. 29, 1731 Mound Brook, NJ d. April 2, 1834 Grafton, (West) Virginia marr. (1) Mary Bartley Revolutionary War Soldier (Note: I haven't done this research; so I don't know if this man was really 103 years old or whether there is confusion with another Aaron Luzadder.) Abraham Luzadder (son of Aaron) b. December 20, 1757 d. December 14, 1826 Guernsey County, OH m. June 14, 1786 Leah Hogue (She was born 1768; died June 6, 1850) Abraham was a soldier with George Rogers Clark. Isaac Luzadder (son of Abraham) b. 1799 d. Feb. 1866 Guernsey County, OH m. Mar. 4, 1821 in Guernsey County Deborah Lawyer (She was born April 2, 1802 in New Jersey(?) died Dec. 24, 1859 in Guernsey County) Deborah Lawyer was a daughter of John and Mary Lawyer and a sister of my great-great-grandfather, William Martin Lawyer (born 1809 in Greene County, PA) Isaac Luzadder's will, signed January 30, 1866 and admitted to probate on February 22, 1866, names eight children: George, Alexander, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Aaron, Andrew J., and Matilda Dawson. The will mentions real estate in Guernsey County and in Martin County, Indiana. I have information on some of these children. Alexander Luzadder, b. ca. 1830, married Margaret Askins on April 29, 1852 in Guernsey County. The 1880 cenesu for Martin County, Indiana living in Ceter Twonship of that county with his wife Margaret and six children. he was a dry goods merchant. Abraham Luzadder: Probably the ABraham Luzadder who died in Ray County, Missouri on April 2, 1913. Death certificate gives his birth date as January 16, 1831 in Ohio. Parent's' names were not known to John Luzadder, who gave the information. My recollection is that Abraham gave "Gernza" County, Ohio as his birthplace in his Civil War pension application. Abraham was a farmer. Isaac Luzadder, b. Dec. 1834;d. Oct. 18, 1906, married Mary ____, who was born ca. 1827 and died between 1880 and 1900. this Isaac was a farmer and lived in Center Township of Guernsey County. A niece, Mary E. Smith, was listed as living with him and his wife in the 1870 and 1880 censuses. Jacob Luzadder, born March 30, 1836; d. Jan.21, 1926, married Sophia Scarborough after Oct. 17, 1861 (license issued that date.) She was born in May 1842 and died 1914. They had six children. Jacob was a farmer in Center township of Guernsey County. Aaron L. Luzadder, b. Feb. 1838; d. March 2, 1907 in Lore City of consumption. (His age is given as 66 years, 7 months, 17 days.) He married Elizabeth Newbern March 5, 1863. She was born Feb. 1838 and died 1902.) They had 8 children, only one living in 1900. He was a dry goods merchant. Andrew J. Luzadder, b. ca. 1845; d. Dec, 9, 1927, married Delilah Scarborough (a sister of Sophia Scarborough); she was b. 1864 and d. 1927. They had two children. Andrew was listed in the 1880 census as a silversmith. Matilda Luzadder. Married ______Dawson on Feb. 5, 1852. The index to marriages lists his name as Jacob Dawson, but the actual record on file lists him as Noah Dawson. In addtion to the 1821 marriage record for Isaac Luzadder and Deborah Lawyer, Guernsey County marriage records include the following early Luzadder marriages. Rachel Luzader to Jesse Bunnell 12 Sept. 1815 Patty Luzader to Jonathan Warne 21 Sept. 1815 Sarah Luzader to David Dougherty 8 Oct. 1818 Leah Luzader to Anthony Smith March 4, 1821 "Patty" is the usual nickname for Martha. I found a biography for Dewett Clinton Warne, b. March 10, 1830 in Center Township of Guernsey County. His parents were Jonathan Warne (b. Oct. 30, 1791 in New Jersey; d. July 19, 1855 who married in 1815 Martha Luzadder, b. PA Dec. 17, 1797; d. 1856.) (I think it is more likely she was born in New Jersey but lived in Greene County, PA as a small child.) I think the four women were sisters of Isaac Luzadder, son of Abraham. Ther is also a Guernsey County death record for John Luzadder, b. PA d. June 10, 1878 in Center township at the age of 70 years, 3 months and 10 days. He was a farmer; death was attributed to pneumonia
