OH Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey?read=1008 Surname: Metheney ------------------------- Greetings from Marlton, NJ I have at least five John Metheneys listed in the descendants of Ephraim Metheney (Matheney, Matheny, Metheny...). Ephraim Metheney, who is my ancestor, (1803 - 1877) was born in Virginia, but his descendants were born in Ohio or other points west. Based on this, I would not seem to have any connection to your John Metheney. It would be a help if you would provide some dates (birth and death) and locations where he lived. I suggest that you contact Dolores Johnson [Gucciardo@aol.com}. She has been researching the "Methena,..." lines for a number of years and has a bunch of information. She also has a Metheney book published under her earlier married name of Dolores Gucciardo. Regards, Bill When tracing ancestors, please stay within the lines.
