I am looking for anyone who is researching a James M. Carter who died in 1931 in Hardin County, Ohio. He was survived by his wife, Sarah E. Carter, and his children, William S. Carter and May L. Candler. I have a copy of his estate file and would like a member of his family to have it, since it is of no use to me. D. A. Blakemore

Are the Kenton Daily Democrat or Kenton Times newspapers still in existence? Are they regular publications and not legal newspapers? (because I found them in estate files) If they are regular, could anyone check their archives or the such for four specific obituaries? If anyone could do that, please e-mail me. D. A. Blakemore

The following Ohio counties and cities have had obituary search engines added to Obituary Central ( http://www.obitcentral.com/ ): They can be accessed at http://www.obitcentral.com/obitsearch/other.htm OH, Allen County (Lima) OH, Butler County OH, Butler County (Middletown) OH, Clark County (Springfield) OH, Cleveland OH, Columbus OH, Dayton OH, Delaware County (Sunbury) OH, Hancock County OH, Hardin County (Ada) OH, Hocking County (Logan) OH, Madison County (London) OH, Montgomery County (Dayton) OH, Preble County OH, Seneca County (Tiffin) OH, Wood County Bill & Tina Cribbs Obituary Central HELP STOP BREAST CANCER!!!

You might find a county history available through the Hardin County Genealogy Society. They have a variety of publications for sale. You could possibly find someone there to check the library as well. Another alternative is http://www.higginsonbooks.com . This company offers reprints of many original county histories, and other books of genealogical interest. I know that they sell histories specific to Hardin County. However, much of what they offer is quite costly, so it will depend upon how much you want the particular book.

I just received the estate files for my aunt and cousin. They lived in Ada Village, Buck Township, and Liberty Township. Does anyone know of any histories of these places in specific or the county itself? D. A. Blakemore

Is there anybody who can provide me with an 1880 census lookup for the following household? Liberty Twp., Hardin County, Ohio --- Eggleston, John microfilm page 132A Thanks very much. Dereck L. Dietz dietzdl@ameritech.net

Can anyone tell me where I might be able to send for a marriage license for a marriage in 1861 in Hardin County. Thanks in advance, Ralph Bird Lansing, Mich. e-mail Birdret@aol.com

Alice, I would try using the Hardin County Genealogy Society's materials first since they've done a lot of work on this, but there is a state library you can go to. The Ohio Historical Society maintains a library in Columbus with micro films of state newspapers. Their web site is <www.ohiohistory.org/resource/index.html>. I know you can request some services from them for a fee, such as looking up death certificates, but I don't know if they will search newspapers. It may be possible to hire a private researcher to do this. Lew >In the State where I live the State Historical Society maintains a library that is a repository for the States newspapers. They are on micro film. For a small fee, if you have the death date and place of death, they will search the newspapers for an obituary. Is there something similar in Ohio ? I would like to find obituaries for several people who lived in Hardin County in the 1800's. thanks, Alice

The Hardin County Genealogy Society have many Obituary Books for sale listed on their web page. You could contact them to see if they could check the name indexes for certain individuals. I don't know if they have enough help to actually look for obits and copy them. Maybe if you are lucky, the peope you are looking for have obits in their books they have for sale.

List, It has been some time since I've posted (if at all), and I'm just now getting back into my family tree. If any of you have any of my direct line, as follows, in your family tree, I'd like to hear from you. I've just recently come into a file from a relative that listed William Ferguson's father and where he was located in Ohio. Being a relative novice, I haven't done much searching, except in Marion County (and reached a dead-end), but I plan to widen my searches. I haven't yet incorporated the file into my online genealogy database; however, I'm willing to share pertinent parts of it with anyone interested, via email, until I do update my files. If any of you would like to look at what I already have, please feel free to go to http://www.gemair.com/~delshar and see if we have anything in common. I don't have any commercial advertisements. Any link I have is for something I personally use and recommend. I don't have any idea who, if anyone, does visit. Cheers! By the! way, I'm number 6. 1. Alexander Ferguson 1790 - 1883 (Magheragall/Antrim/Ireland, PENN, Logan Co., OH) Note: Alexander appears in 1840 and 1870 Logan County Census... 2. William Ferguson 1823 - 1897 (PENN, Logan/Hardin/Delaware/Marion Co., OH) Note: William appears in the 1880 Marion County Census... 3. Alexander Newton Ferguson 1866 - 1958 (Marion, Allen/Auglaize Co., OH) 4. Charles Edwin Ferguson 1893 - 1981 (Allen/Auglaize Co., OH) 5. Ronald Lovell Ferguson 1916 - Still Living (Allen Co., OH) 6.

Was there a state- or county-level census in 1851? The FTM CD "Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties 1850" shows entries for both 1850 and 1851 in cases where I have located OH ancestors. No details other than county, township, and page # (sometimes) are given. Tom Osborn Calif.

Tom each County History that was published in the 1880's has a large section knows as Biographical Sketches. You can purchase a copy of the 1880 Hardin County History from Higginson Press. You can find their URL on the Heritage Pursuit Web site. When you get to the site click on MUST SEE LINKS and then to Book Stores.

Does anyone have, or know of, a copy of the publication "Biographical Sketches"? I think this was printed originally in the latter 19th Century. I know little about it, but it sounds as though it may have been about folks in Kenton, or Hardin Co. in general. In response to a post I made to the Logan Co. list, a gentleman forwarded to me a "biographical sketch" about my 2nd great-grandparents Peter and Susanna (WHITE) CROSS. It just happened that the sketch about Peter & Susanna was on the same page on which this gentleman's ancestor was profiled. Alas, he had only that one page-not the entire book-in his possession. I wish to know if George and Mary (CROSS) OSBORN were profiled in "Biographical Sketches". It goes without saying that any help will be greatly appreciated. Tom Osborn Calif. PS. I thought that I should share that because of that gentleman's generosity, I was able to make quite the breakthrough in my genealogical efforts. I was able to add twelve(!) generations back of Peter & Susanna--back to possibly 1482 in England. The irony is that the info. shared with me was not actually in answer to the query I posted to the Logan Co. list. This gentleman simply had a bit of info. about my own forebears, and thought it might be of interest to me. Was it ever!

Can anyone with the cemetery books tell me if their is a David Ross buried in the county who may have died prior to 1850? I have since learned that he was a Surveyor for the county from 1842-1844. Also would like to know if he was in Hardin County in 1840 and about how old he would have been. I have another Hardin/Logan Ross family that named one of their sons David Nelson Ross, possibly for this gentleman. -- Richard Ross - ----------------------------------------- Boone County, Iowa CC http://www.rootsweb.com/~iaboone/ Lyme, Connecticut CC http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctclyme/ Putnam County, Missouri CC http://www.rootsweb.com/~moputnam/ Schuyler County, Missouri CC http://www.rootsweb.com/~moschuy2/ Sullivan County, Missouri CC http://www.rootsweb.com/~mosulliv/ Vernon County, Wisconsin CC http://www.rootsweb.com/~wivernon/ Wayne County, Iowa CC http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~rkross/wayne/ ROBB-L Listowner COMSTOCK Board Administrator - ------------------------------------------ Ross Clan Genealogy **1830 Ohio Census for Ross** http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rkross Terry's Cemetery Restoration and Repair http://www3.50megs.com/bnkterry/

They were Walter, Jerome, Louise and Helen. Helen married Edgar Crossman. It would be great to hear from you if you have these names. Judy Lawson

Maybe Yelverton Cemetery? This is a small rural cemetery east of Wolf Creek Cemetery (as in your previous post) by maybe 8 or 10 miles, and a couple miles from Belle Center in Logan County.
