Any information at all would be appreciated.

Does anyone know which Carson family was Quaker (Brushy Fork mm records)? In his book, "Ancestors", William Maxwell reports that the parents of Agnes Carson (m. Henry Maxwell), being Walter Carson & Agnes ?(Scotland>Ireland>PA), were Quakers. However, I know of no monthly minute records where they were members. Apparently they did appear as witnesses for a Quaker marriage. Is there a connection to the Quakers in Brushy Fork? I am inclined to think that the Carsons in my line were Associate or Seceder Presbyterian; as were Henry Maxwell's sons; the Thomas & Robert Maxwell who were early settlers in Harrison County.

Could anyone please shed some light on the German popluation that came to this area? Were several parts of Ohio involved? What drew them to the area? Were most from PA? Would be grateful for some insight involving the German lineage which I've been searching. Viola Surnames Swangel/Swangle Stroup

Researching these surnames in Harrison County. I believe Samuel and Sarah Haile COLE came to Harrison County from Baltimore, Maryland in the early 1800's. Their child, Charles was born there and later married Emma/Amy HARTSOCK. Their child Thomas migrated to Athens and Meigs County and had Lucy Cole who married Charles Tippie. -- Carla Tippie Proudfoot

Hi Everyone, A late Happy New Year to all. I am searching the following: BECK, BLODGETT, HOUSE, HUFF, MYERS, PARSONS, SMITH (Ohio) GUY, HOUSE (WVa) WISE (Ohio & NY) PARSONS (Wales) Thanks in advance for any help. Pat

Samuel BOSLEY emigrated to Harrison County in 1834 from Maryland. He was born in MD in 1776 and was a veteran of the War of 1812. Wife was Mary ROBERTS. Conflicting stories of his death in 1854 - one says he was killed in Steubenville, another says Bridgeport. Searching for burial place and any info on wife - did she come to Ohio with Samuel and if so, when and where did she die? Eight known children all came to Ohio also. One son, Thomas, was married to Sarah HILBERT in MD. Another son, Jacob, married Elizabeth (Betsey) KAIL. In 1870, Samuel & Elizabeth bought 135 acres from John Kail in Harrison County.

Surnames: Johnson Simonton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/1YB.2ACI/665.2.3 Message Board Post: Carol, would you mind checking this book for references to Hosier Johnson and Jane Simonton? I know they are listed under marriages - Apr 23, 1845. This is the only information I have for either of them until 1860 in the Indiana Census. Also, the marriage was performed by John McArthur V.D.M. Is there any reference to his religious affiliation which might lead to other sources like Church records?

Hello. I think we're related. I am part of the Wheeler family, and I descend from them in more than three different lines. Can you share with me what you have on your Bosleys? One of my lines is through Benjamin Wheeler II and his wife Eleanor Bosley. Benjamin was the son of Benjamin Wheeler and Keziah Murray. Benjamin II and Eleanor had many children, a good deal of which remained in the Harrison/Jefferson Counties region of Ohio. The children that I know of were: James Wheeler (abt. 1785-1872, married Elizabeth Cramblett, then Jane Stiers) settled in Jefferson County and had a large family there. James was named after Benjamin II's brother James. Mordecai Wheeler (abt. 1787-187?, married Keziah Murray Gill, a cousin of his) settled in German/Green Townships in Harrison County and had a large family there. I descend through their daughter Mary Ann Wheeler who married Harrison Miller. Mordecai was named after Benjamin II's brother Mordecai. Mordecai is a Price family name. Caleb Wheeler (abt. 1787-18??, married Mary DeHuff) settled in Jefferson County, and may have moved on to elsewhere. Caleb may just be a cousin, but it is very likely that he is from this family. Caleb is a Price/Bosley family name. Eleanor Wheeler (178?-18??, married Amos Chambers) settled in Jefferson County, and may have moved on to elsewhere. Eleanor was named after the mother Eleanor Bosley. Rachel Wheeler (married Benjamin Richey) settled in Jefferson County, and may have moved on to elsewhere. Rachel was named after Rachel Bosley (Eleanor's sister), who married Benjamin II's brother Richard. Thomas Wheeler (married Rachel Tipton) may not be a member of this family, but there is a strong possibility. ------------------------------- Benjamin II's brother Nicholas Wheeler also came to Harrison County with his wife Drucilla. That family has been pretty well documented by myself and many others on this list. ------------------------------- There was some confusion until recently about Benjamin II. It was long said that Benjamin II (son of Benjamin and Keziah) moved to Kentucky and there were a list of children that looked nothing like the list above. However, I have recently proved that this was in fact a different Benjamin Wheeler from MD (I don't have his parents yet), about the same age as Benjamin II, who also married an Eleanor, but Eleanor Stanisbury, not Eleanor Bosley. ------------------------------- I had Rachel Bosley as the daughter of Joseph Bosley and Mary Spicer Hall, but this is based on information I received from an Eileen Colgan, and I have not done any research into this myself. I have, as of yet, no proof of this connection whatsoever, other than her word. ------------------------------- Look forward to hearing back from you. I don't have your Samuel Bosley in my tree. The only Samuel Bosley I have is Rachel & Eleanor's nephew Samuel W. Bosley (son of their brother Daniel). I'm sure they tie in to your family somehow, though. I'm excited, because I am also a Kail descendent! I didn't know the parents of Jacob Bosley until I read your e-mail. Have tons on the Kails, though!
