DEES and SMILING are not names that I follow. Besides, I am here in Kyoto, Japan until next week and do not have access to my records. I definitely do not remember DEES but seem to vaguely remember SMILING as being Melungeon. I will keep a hard copy of your posting under SMILING. If there is a future connection, I will let you know. Phil Beltz

Interesting tale... "...Aunt Mahala" is a legendary Melungeon figure; popular legend portrays her as a maker of "moonshine," so obese she could not be arrested by authorities who described her as "ketchable, but not fetchable." http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MelungeonOrigin/message/11 ----- Original Message ----- From: <angel42809@aol.com> To: <OHHIGHLA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 2:16 PM Subject: [OHHIGHLA-L] Re: Melungeon Meeting > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2YB.2ACI/1225.1237.1849 > > Message Board Post: > > I read your articles and i hope you can offer me some help.

Jan, have you tried the http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com Search Genealogy Library under the "Browse Genealogy Library" section where it says, Recent Additions Online Book Collections . Early New York Families, 1600s-1900s - New! . Ohio Vital Records #1, 1790s-1870s The OHIO VITAL RECORDS section is searchable and has a lot of transcriptions (hundreds, maybe thousands) of the early Ohio families. I had a very quick look and there is material about a Christopher Hussey, a Jacob Hussey, and other entries for a Jane, Lucy, Mary, Polly, Sarah, Stephen, and William Hussey. The references for "Mary" and "Polly" were both marriages that took place a generation (ca 1810) before your search time but the family name is well represented and you might recognize a family you can follow up on and find something for your "Marey" or at least something pertinent about the Hussey family. There is an index and there are some church records with deaths and births listed which is hard to find for this period in history. Good luck. Hope this helps. I just discovered this resource. I, too, am doing research in Ohio in the early 1800's and have found the on-line resources are few and far between for this era.

Does anyone know how (if at all) I could get information on the death of an infant (one of a pair of twins) in 1830 in Highland County (I'm fairly certain that the family lived in or near Hillsboro)?
