Hello all and Happy New Year! My great grandfather and several siblings were reportedly born in Holmes County Ohio before moving north to St. Clair County Michigan in 1866. If anyone has access to an 1860 Holmes County census I would greatly appreciate a look up to see if they are included. I am new to this list so if this is an improper request, please set me straight. Thanks!

Rick, Where was your Samuel Mattox married? I find your message interesting as I have searched for Joseph Mattocks of Wayne Co./Holmes Co. OH in the past, trying to find where he had moved to. Or what had happened to Joseph Mattocks and his second wife, Sarah Caster. I was trying to find out who his children were since he apparently married twice, both times to sisters of my ancestors. Here are my notes from the past on what I had found on Joseph Mattock/Mattox: There is only one Joseph Mattox in Ohio index for 1820 & 1830. Mary "Polly" Gwin, dau of John Gwin & Mary Ammon, married Joseph Mattock on 4 Dec 1817 in Wayne Co. OH. On 1820 census Hardy twp, Wayne Co. OH Joseph Mattox is listed next to Jacob & John Gwin (family of Mary Gwin). Joseph Mattox has 1m -10 1m 26-45 1f -10 1f 16-26 1f 45+. Mary "Polly" Gwin must have died abt 1824, possibly in childbirth. (Her mother states Polly is deceased in 1844 pension petition). Hardy twp, Wayne Co. became part of Holmes Co. OH in 1825. 18 Oct 1825 Joseph Mattox married Sarah Custer, daughter of Arnold, in Holmes Co. OH. Her brother Benjamin married a Polly Mattock. On the 1830 census Joseph Mattox is listed in Prairie twp next to Arnold, Benjamin, and Thomas Caster and Daniel Hutchison, a Caster-in-law. Joseph Mattox has 2m -5 1m 10-15 1m 30-40 1f -5 2f 5-10 1f 20-30. That was the last I found of Joseph Mattox. Don't know where he went to, do you? Your Samuel would fit in as son of Joseph and Mary, age wise. The name Samuel doesn't run in the Gwin family, but possibly could be a Mattox name. Or maybe they just wanted a different name. Would appreciate family info on your Samuel. Do you know if he had two sisters? I have info on both the Gwin family ( Mary "Polly" 's father , John Gwin & grandfather, Thomas Gwin, both served in the Revolution) and on the Custer family ( Mary "Polly" 's grandfather, Arnold Custer, was also in the Revolution).

Hi, I am new to the list. I am looking for any information on Joseph MATTOCKS and his wife Mary GWINN/GUINN who married in 1817 Wayne Co.OH which later became Holmes Co. My Ancestor was Samuel MATTOCKS in 1840 he is listed in census as Samuel MADDICK. I believe Samuel is the son of Joseph and Mary ( GWIN/GUIN ) MATTOCKS. Samuel MATTOCKS m. Harriet SHELTERS 21, Feb. 1832 Any one who may be researching these surnames or may have infromation would really like to hear from you. Thank you, Rick Cole

There is a book in the Millersburg library listing all just about all of the county's cemeteries and tombstone information. It is an original typed manuscript from the 1970's. The Prairie Township Cemetery is on pages 206-214. No Evans are buried there. I don't have any other pages photocopied. It would be great if someone in Millersburg scanned the book and posted it on the web.

You have probably already found your answer but just in case you haven't I would inquire with a few of the local funeral homes/mortuaries for the location. I have done this before with amazing results. Good luck and happy new year. James Clark

I suppose you have an answer by now, but have you checked the Prairie Twp cemetery about a mile north of Holmesville? My family is buried there.

Hi June. Sorry for the delayed reply. I haven't been in my computer for awhile. Thanks for the info. People have been very generous and I think I have almost everything I need. Genealogists seem to be consistently the most generous people I run accross. Someone sent me copies of 1860, 1870, 1880 census records that would, I think, complete the proof...but, the records they sent don't show state or township. I'm almost there. Thanks, Peter P.S. If you happen to have access to these census records. Would it be possible for you to verify that they are from Ohio and find out which township? 1860: Neville, Jonathan (Born PA) 55, Sarah 54 (b.

Maybe Barbara was living in the County in 1860..... by herself or with a daughter????? Anyone have access to the 1860 census for Holmes Co? or an index? :-) Cindy Kimes

Instead of Germantown, i meant to say Farmerstown. I am looking for where my Lukes are buried. I know Elizabeth and Jacob died in Clark Twp. But I am really looking for George Luke that died 6/20/1878, most likely in or near farmerstown..
