Hi; I am searching for my ancestors John M. Williams b. 1805 in Holmes Co. He married Lydia b.1810 NJ but I feel that they lived for a while in OH after their marriage. There were at least 9 children born in OH between 1832 and 1848. They were Mary, Nancy, Charles, Mathew, William, John M., James, Decker, Washington. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Janet

Holmes Co. was not created until 1824/25. While I suppose it is possible your ancestors may have been living in the area that early, you will need to look in other counties. Holmes was created from Coshocton, Tuscawaras, and Wayne Co., which in turn were created: Coshocton 1810/11 from Muskingum and Tuscawaras Tuscawarus 1808 from Muskingum Muskingum 1804 from Fairfield/Washington At 11:07 PM 2/18/2001, [email protected] wrote: >I am searching for my ancestors John M.
