William Russell Faris, the son of William S. Farris and Rachel Baker is buried in Salem/Barker Cemetery, Highland Co, Ohio. His dates are 19 Feb 1862 - 12 March 1889. I believe he married Mary Magdaline Stevens. Can this be confirmed? Is she buried there also? Would like dates for her. Their children were Thompson A. Farris b. Mar 1888 and William Richard Farris b. 26 May 1889.
Can anyone tell me anything about the Hicksite Quaker Cemetery in Paint Township? Is this cemetery for Quakers ONLY? Is it located near New Petersburg?

MARY ELIZABETH GILBERT on 2 November 1887 in Boone County, Iowa In some places, James middle name is listed as QUINCY >From the Stumbo History by Mary Bristle: James Q. Stumbo came to Boone County with his mother and stepfather from Hillsboro, Ohio, at the age of eight years in the 40�s. He attended school ten days in a log school house on the Mrs. Johnnie Williams farm. He remained in Boone County until he was seventeen years old and then returned to Ohio. He lived in Ohio until the Civil War broke out and then enlisted in Co. C, 48th Ohio Voluntary Infantry, October 3, 1860 at the age of 20 years. He came home on a furlough and was married to Susan Buck, afterward returning to the Army. He re-enlisted in Co. R. 48th Battalion, Ohio Voluntary Infantry, February 29, 1864. He was honorably discharged from the service of the United States Army, May 9, 1866 at Columbus, Ohio. At one time, the Union Army was surrounded by the Confederate Army. Josh (I assume this is Joshua Stumbo, James older brother) was taken prisoner, but not so Jim. One of the Confederate Soldiers took after Jim and another man. Jim out ran the other man, who was taken prisoner. Jim heard so much about the cruel and inhuman treatment at the Liberty prison that he said, �I would rather be shot than taken prisoner.� The nearest he came to being shot was his cap shot off just as he stepped over a log. He picked up his cap and put it back on his head, he never noticed the hole in his cap until that night in camp. Some time before the end of the war or during it, Joshua and Jim decided the last three letters of Stumbough (ugh) were not necessary. They wrote back to their uncles in Ohio, signing their names Stumbo. Their uncles said if they were ashamed of the name Stumbough, they need not write again, and they did not write.

Dear Judy, I am a descendant of one of the "other folks from the Shenandoah Valley." The "Roush" family in my notes and of others of my family (SURBER) is spelled "Rouse" but I think it is the same family. Can you give us the birth dates of your Owen, William, both Philips, and John Adam? I find all of these names in a Surber website, http://www.claynet.com/athomas/surber/nindex.htm#ROUSE If you aren't familiar with this website you might want to have a look. You will find many, many Rouse's there. Do you have any Surbers in your records? ANYBODY??? I'm searching for the children of Jacob Surber Jr. who married Catherine Phillipine Fry in Shenandoah VA in 1792. (NOT the Jacob Surber Jr. who married another Catherine in Ohio in 1819.) I am going to forward to you separately, Judy, a rather lengthy lineage of John Adam from the Rouse/Roush mailing list. If any others from the Highland list have an interest, please e-mail me and will send to you or to the list. Jeanne Surber Concord, CA [email protected] --------------------- Judith D.

I have tried to find church birth records in Highland County, Ohio, particularly for Old Dutch Church and Mt. Zion Church in New Market Township, with no luck. These were Dutch Reformed churches founded by Roushes and other folks from the Shenandoah Valley. These churches no longer exist. I have tried Lutheran and other related archives with either no luck or no response. It may just be that these records no longer exist. However, I believe that my great grandfahter, Owen L. Roush, who helped gather info. for the Roush histories, saw these records back when the family was working on the first couple of volumes (I base this belief on a reference to Owen and Highland County church records in the acknowledgements in the front of Volume 2.). Specifically, I am looking for the birth record of William Roush, son of Philip Roush, grandson of Philip Roush and Great grandson of John Adam Roush. Any other proof of parentage, other than the Roush histories would be great. Anyone have any knowledge of such records or archives where they can be found? Any other ideas? Thanks!

Hi all, Here is my new Runyon website. It isn't very big yet nor is it very fancy yet, but it includes three different families who moved to Highland County in the late 1820s and early 1830s. Namely, Jacob Runyon, Sr., his brother Daniel Runyon and their sister Nancy (Runyon) Hawk. More Highland County pages (descendants of these 3) will be added as time permits.

Am looking for any Trouts buried there, specifically Morris Sr and Morris Jr both of whom died in Russell's Station in 1856 and 1860, respectively. Thank you for any assistance that can be given.

Is there anyone in the list tracking my family line? I've run into several brick walls tracking my ggg-grandfather and his family. I'm looking for information on Silas Davis, born about 1818 or 1819 in Ohio. The long version: According to the 1880 Census for Vermillion Cty, Indiana, Silas Davis was born in Ohio, his father was from Maryland, and his mother from Virginia. Unfortunately, by 1823, Silas was an orphan, and moved to Indiana. Apparently, he travelled with another child, Washington Potter, and the Potter family; and Silas' daughter Emily eventually married Washington Potter's son Rollin. We have possible links for Potter family (John Potter and Lucy Sharp) in several counties, most notably Highland and Preble; there are large collections of Davis families in several counties, like Highland and Delaware; and there's only one John Potter in the 1820 Ohio Census, in Trumbull County. So I'm poking through the files of those counties, looking for possible links to research. What I'm looking for: --A Davis from Maryland, who married a Virginia woman, moved to Ohio before 1818, and died by 1823; or --Court papers granting custody of 5-year old Silas Davis to the Potters or another family that travelled with them (some possible names are Blair, Strange, Malone, Clements, Shannon, Skaggs, Meredith, Price); or --Any possible Davis links I can research looking for a connection to Silas. Thanks for any hints, links, tips, etc, from the list members, and good luck with your own searches. -=Allan Davis=- [email protected]
I am looking for information on the following Sharp line. John Sharp, born 12 Mar 1812 in Highland Co., OH married Catherine Golding 5 Jul 1834 in Shelby Co., IN. Their children born there were Francis Marion, William G., Elizabeth Jane, John Leander, Catherine, and Martha Alice. This family later moved to Sumner Co., KS where John died 24 May 1889 and is buried in Forest Hill Cemetary. Catherine died in Sumner Co, KS 12 Jan 1889. Any information on this particular Sharp line would be greatly appreciated. Mike [email protected]

Hi All I just got back from Vacation. On our way home from Florida we came through GA and stopped at Andersonville for the day. Talk about a sobering experience. For those that have not been there I will tell somethings about it. You enter through a museum that covers POW's from all the wars. In fact I saw a larger that life size cut out picture of the husband of a very good friend who was a POW during Vietnam. The pictue was taken at some press release from the prison camp. He was a navy Flyer. Once outside you can either walk or drive around the whole prison site. They have signs along the driving route that tells a great deal about the area you are looking at, if you choose not to walk. I walked through the cemetery, the headstones are mostly stone to stone. I guess they ran out of pine for coffins or could not keep up with the deaths, and started buring soldiers shoulder to shoulder because they had about 100 deaths aday. Some were spaced apart, those were the soldiers buried with coffins. There were six graves set apart from the others, these six were prisoners that formed a gang that would rob and beat the other prisoners. They robbed them of their personnel possessions and sometimes beat other to death. Someone alerted the officials at the prison and these six were tried and hanged. Others of this gang were located and were made to run through a gauntlet of prisoners. The six and well as the others were located by the officials saying they would withhold rations unless they were turned over. After this a group of prisoners were formed to police the camp to hopefully avoid this problem. Their was a stream that ran through the prison. This was used for drinking water. The only problem with that was when they built the stockade the pilings were into the ground and reduced the flow of the water. What was suppose to happen was at one end prisoners were to get their drinking water and the other was for human waste. But since the stockade wall was blocking alot of the flow of the stream it caused the waste not to flow through and out of the the stockade. This waste backed up and contaminated all the drinking water. The ground around the stream became very marshy, the water itself was full of contaminates. Soldiers got dysintery and other diseases. There were two rows of stockade fencing. They called it the inner and outer stockade. On the inner they had what they called the deadline. If a prisoner crossed the deadline they were shot. In the movie we saw at the museum they told of a soldier reaching for a piece of bread that a guard had dropped inside the deadline, this soldier was killed. Different states have errected monuments throughout the camp area in the memory of those who died. In the beginning wooden markers were placed at the graves with numbers on them. The union enlisted a aid of a prisoner to keep a hospital record. This prisoner was Dorence Atwater from NY he was chosen because of his penmanship. What Dorence did was keep two records making every effort to identify every prisoner. When he left the prison in 1865 he secreted the second set of records in his personel ariticles. Without his second record I doubt anyone would be able to search today for who was buried there. Dorence and Clara Barton went back to the cemetery with help and erected wooden markeres with the names and units inplace of the numbered markeres that were originally errected. My saddest thing while walking through the headstones was seeing the stones marked unknown. There are about 400 of them throughout the cemetery. Sorry if I rambled, but when I came home and pulled my email, all 152 messages, yesterday and found someone mentioning Andersonville I had to respond to that right away. I bought two books on Andersonville, I thought I had bought the list of soldiers buried there but I must have set it down and forgot to pick it up. When I got home I didn't have the one book I most wanted. To sort of give you a feeling of what the place is like; my VERY active seven year old daughter was quiet and respectful while we were there.
