There were 3 different records for a John Runyon in the 1840 census for Champaign County, OH. 1: Mad River Township = My ancestor John Runyon, III of Rockingham Co., VA 2: Union Township = s/o Richard Runyon & husband of Mary Conkling 3: Rush Township = Can anyone tell me who this one was? Also, need his ancestry and children. Census Record: 1 male 5-10 1 male 15-20 1 male 20-30 1 male 60-70 1 female 20-30 1 female 60-70 Note: Rush township, also, lists a John Runyon, Jr. and an Isaac Runyon - presumably from the same family. Thanks, Norman L. Runyon

I would appreciate a reply givng the days of the week and hours of the day that the Society is open during the months of July and August. Thank you. George

Hello, Highland County and Ohio Researchers: There was a large number of Ohio men aboard the Sultana. I wanted to let all of you know that the History Channel will be airing the 1st of 2 Sultana documentaries , tonight. Wenesday, April 29, 1998, at 8:00 P.M. " Sultana, The Mississippi's Titanic" Benton Badgley of Highland County, Ohio was aboard the Sultana on April 27, 1865 when it exploded. Benton was in the Civil war and had been taken prisoner, about November 25,1864. He remained in a rebel prison until the end of the war. He was exchanged on April,1865, at Vicksburg, Mississippi. He and hundreds of other exchanged prisoners were put aboard the Union Steamer , Sultana to be transported home. Sixteen to seventeen hundred people were killed , most of them being exchanged prisoners of war............ This event has been called "America's greatest maritime disaster" Benton Badgley left a wife and 10 children. Sherry Badgley Ryan

Good Morning to all, This being my first encounter with the group I would like to start by saying any and all information will be greatly appreciated so thank you in advance... We are looking for information on the HUGHEY's and/or NOGGLE's in Highland County or other counties in Ohio...My GGGrandfather was James Hughey(1800)m Maria Drake(1807) and had 12 hildren - Joseph / Nancy / Sarah / William / John / James Smith / Angeline / Maria / Julia C. / Stephen Fowler / Margaret Edna / Sherman A....Whew!!!, I have no idea how he made a living or when he had time to!!!His Father was William Hughey(1764)probably in Ireland...Thanks again...Chuck & Carmella

Sherry, I noticed your posting on April 14th that Eliza Ellen Shoemaker m. Richard Stout in 1861. If you learn anything about the Stout family, please share the information. I have a Harriet L. Hibben m. John W. Stout in Hillsboro 6/1/1854. They went to Wabash Co., IN. John may have gone further west, or was a traveling saleman, as Harriet is listed as head of household in the 1860 Census. She returned to Hillsboro and is recorded in the 1870 Census with her two Stout children, but John is not with them. Again she is head of household. I would like to solve this mystery. Thanks. George

Hello, I've been working on putting together an updated version of the book STEER GENEALOGY (Some Genealogy of a Steer Family) by Isaac S. Russell since about 1988. I've recently discovered these Listserves for genealogy in various counties so I thought I'd take a shot at this in order to collect more data for my Steer Genealogy records. Here's a brief account of the beginnings of the family: Isaac Steer married Ruth Mercer. They came from Ireland to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania with their daughter Katherine. Three sons: Nicholas, John & Joseph preceeded them to this country. The family was affiliated with The Society of Friends (Quakers) where many continued for generations to be members. The family eventually migrated down into Virginia settling primarily in Frederick & Loudoun Counties from which descendants spread to other areas in this country. Isaac Russell's book was printed back in 1891 so as you can see much has happened since then. His book primarily dealt with the descendants of Joseph (Isaac & Ruth's son). I am trying to gather info. on ALL of the descendants of Isaac and Ruth Steer, or at least as much as I am able to collect. Being that the family is predominantly Quaker finding accurate info. hasn't been too difficult. I have access to the books written by William Wade Hinshaw which I am using now to further add to the Steer Family records but again much has happened since Hinshaw published his Quaker records. This family has branched out into many different surnames as well, all which can be traced back to Isaac and Ruth Steer. Some of the more common surnames found in this family are: JACKSON, ROBINSON, BROWN, SEXTON, HOLLINGSWORTH, FENTON, DEAN, KIRK, CLEVENGER, WHITACRE, WALKER, PARKINS, MAHANEY, MARKER, SWAYNE, POPE, HOUGH, GRIFFITH, LYTLE (or LITLER), RICHIE, WICKERSHAM, WOOD, RUSSELL, NEVITT. If you believe you are a descendant of Isaac and Ruth Steer I would like to hear from you. Could you please send me whatever complete info. you can give me on your branch of the family up to today's times plus what you know on collateral branches in your line. I need full names of individuals, birth & death dates, places of birth & death, marriage dates and places, spouses full names with birth, death dates and places as well and also the names of the spouses' parents with the mother's maiden name and the same for each child descending from the couple. If you don't have the complete info. I requested, that's ok, just give me what you can. If you wish you can include some biography about some of the individuals. Whatever information you can give me will be greatly appreciated as I try to put together the most up to date version of this genealogy as possible. You can either send this to me by either e-mail at this address [email protected] or you can mail it to me at this address if you don't have an e-mail provider: Michael L. McKay 115 Morgan St. Winchester, VA 22601-3829 Thank you for your attention to this. I'll reprint this letter at various intervals in order for new listserve subscribers to read.

Thank you all for responding. This is the data I have on the GALLOWAY-HIBBEN connection. John Galloway, b. abt 1760-70 m. Margaret ? b. Jan. 10, 1771, d. Feb. 10, 1850 in Hillsboro, OH - married in Gettysburg, PA. Three of their known children were: Margaret Galloway, b. Sept. 2, 1802 in Gettysburg, PA, d. 1881 in Hillsboro, OH Sarah Galloway John Galloway (Rev.) Margaret m. Samuel E. Hibben March 1827 in Hillsboro, OH Sarah m. Samuel Smith before 1827 and lived in Greenfield, OH John m. Belinda ? One of Margaret and Samuel's sons was John Samuel Galloway Hibben b. 1827and a grandson was Samuel Galloway Hibben b. 1888. In W. A. GALLOWAY's book, The History of Glen Helen, p. 42, ALBERT GALLOWAY was on a fund raising committee from Xenia in 1869 along with ABRAM HIVLING. ABRAM was married to SALLY MARY HIBBEN b. 1818 , dau. of WILLIAM HIBBEN b. 1790 of Wilmington, OH, brother of SAMUEL b. 1804. My grandfather, another SAMUEL E. HIBBEN b. 1870, graduated from the Union College of Law in Chicago, Ill in 1890 along with SAMUEL M. GALLOWAY, who would have been born about 1870 also. The HIBBEN family lived in Uniontown, PA about 1795-1825 and the generation before that was in Chester Co. PA about 1720. Perhaps someone will be able to find a connection to an established GALLOWAY line. Thanks for sharing your information. George Hibben
