Hi, My grandfather Harry CLARK left Harrison County in about 1882, when his extended family moved to Burt Co. Nebraska. His ancestors included the surnames CLARK, KERR, MOORE, CARRICK, CORY, MOORE, SMITH/SMYTHE, JOHNSON and RAMSEY of Harrison County. Nearly all of his ancestors for 4 generations are buried in Cadiz Cemeteries, both the old and the new. His parents were Charles G. Clark and Ada Z. Kerr, listed in Hanna under the family of Roger Clark. I would be happy to exchange information with anyone researching these families. Thanks!

Beers pub. in - 1891 page - 84 J.W. FERRELL, the subject of this biographical sketch, was born August 13, 1837, in Rumley township, Harrison County, Ohio. His grandfather, James Ferrell, a native of Maryland, was married to Naomi Hitchcock, who lived in Harrison County. In early life they settled in Archer Township, where they entered and improved a quarter section of land on which they remained during their lives. They were the parents of the following named children. : Charles , John , Ibby , Jane , Thomas , Rachel and Mary. James Farrell died November 12, 1849, in the eighty-third year of his age, his wife joining him in the silent land November 17, 1855, in the eighty-fourth year of her age. Thomas Ferrell, the father of J. W. Ferrell, was born August 21, 1808, and until about twenty years of age recieved the advantages of the common schools. He then attended the high school in Cadiz. After teaching school for some time he entered the ministry in the United Brethern Church, and acquitted hi! mself with credit in both professions. On March 19, 1829, he was married to Margaret Lemasters, daughter of Isaac Lamasters, a resident of Archer Township. His children were John N. , living in and practicing law in Orville, Wayne Co., Ohio ; Susan J., deceased ; J. W., living in Archer Township, Harrison County ; Elizabeth A. and Nancy M. R., living in Union Township, Carroll County, Ohio. Thomas Ferrell was a Republican in politics, and although not active , still worked zealously for the advancement of his party. His death occurred November 29, 1875, and he was buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. His widow died August 21, 1885, and was buried beside him. J. W.

He represents one of the oldest famlies, and retains and merits the respect in which th! ey were held.

I have so little information on this Grandmother I have shied away from even posting. Possible she lived in Harrison County being born October 1846. Have no names of parents or siblings. She suddenly appeared as an adult woman on the 1870 census in Moorefield Harrison County Ohio. Census says her parents were also from Ohio. Been looking for this Gr. grandmother for years now, does anyone have her in their tree? Name of Nancy Ann McCullough and heard she also went by Anna. Sandy

My main surname for Harrison Co. is GOTSCHALL/GUTSHALL/GODCHALK, Nicholas Nicholas came from PA to the Harrison Co. area by 1802 when he purchased land at the Studenville Land Office and is listed as residing in Washington Co., PA. at the time of the purchase and died by 1808. Although I have found birth records for most of his children in Berks Co. PA a couple of marriage records for the children in WV. Nicholas married Margaret Unknown about 1770, probably Berks. Children: Samuel, John, Barbara, Daniel, George, Henry, Elizabeth, William, Jacob, Margaret "Polly," Catherine. From the census I have been able to determine that all of these children moved to Harrison Co. with Nicholas and Margaret. The name in PA was spelt mostly GOTSCHALL but in Harrison Co. it seems to have been spelt GUTSHALL. I just started working on the side lines to GOTSCHALL. This is a list of related surnames to the GOTSCHALL/GUTSHALL lines that I have found so far. I would like to find any others that are related to the GOTSCHALL lines. CHANEY/CHENEY AMES/AIMES/EAMES/EMES WALCOTT/WALCUTT SWIGERT/SWIGART [this surname married into the Ames lines] ALBERT FISHER NARRAGONG/NARAGONG/ NARREGON FISHER WINNING WEST COON HOSPELHORN/HASPELHAUN Margaret HOSPELHORN married Daniel GUTSHALL son of Nicholas March 16. 1817, Daniel purchased land at Zanesville Land Office in 1818 but is listed as a resident of Harrison Co. at the time of the purchase. Daniel along with his brother John served in the War of 1812. Daniel had Abraham, Susan, John, Phillip, Daniel, George, Mary Margaret, Mary Ann, Alexander, Solomon, and Margaret who died young. I have the Hospelhorn/Haspelhaun genealogy back to Prussia 1600s for anyone working on this line. STAHL/STALL Jacob STAHL came from MD in the early 1800s his daughter, Catherine, married Abraham Gotschall 1843 and later moved to Meigs Co., Ohio. The first I find him in Meigs is on the 1860 census. I cannot find him on the 1850 census. SHILLING Elizabeth SHILLING married Jacob STAHL I believe in MD and I also believe some of her SHILLING relatives moved into Harrison Co. when them, possibly her parents. If anyone has info on the SHILLING surname in Harrison please contact me. I would like to talk to anyone working on any of these surnames. You all have a great day and hope to hear from some of you.

Hi, list -- These are some of my surnames. They were among the early settlers of the county, and most moved there from Pennsylvania. So, entire 19th century (1800s) but not much interest from me near the end of the century -- most moved farther west by then, though I am SURE I still have relatives in the county. Mostly around Cadiz and New Athens. Susan Osburn

I'm searching for descendants of the children of Philip and Mary CARREL who were John, Mary, Joseph, Margaret, Anthony, Catherine, Henry, Jane and Philip (Jr) CARREL, all born between 1798 and 1813, probably in Pennsylvania. This family was in Jefferson County, Ohio by 1812. The father Philip died in December 1813 while on active duty, 2nd U.S. Artillery, probably stationed at Fort Meigs. His heirs (above) were still in the Jefferson / Harrison / Carroll County area in 1835. Five of these children had a court appointed legal guardian who was James TORRENCE. Eric
