The info above is from the I.G.I. except for the last name Maynard. I think the Maynard part is correctand would like to prove it. Lucy Squires and Ira Maynard were living in Greenwich in 1880. Both of their spouses died in 1882. The Huron Co. marriage index shows a Ira Maynard and Lucy Suires marrying in 1883. 99.9% sure but... In 1900 there is no female in the household of Ira Maynard. Only a 15 year old son named Leon. Thanks for any help. David Maynard Franklin NC [email protected] --=======12D969D7=======--

for Jim PETTIT, Orson L. CARPENTER had the following children - Huldah E. b1833, Roena A. b 1835, Nathan K. b 1838 ( who moved to Reading , Michigan ) ,Chester, H. b1841, Aro D. b.1845 (who stayed in Fairfield) , Horace M. b. 1847 (who moved to Cleveland) and Eunice and Elizabeth for which I have no dates. The 1850 Census for Fairfield also lists a Charles CARPENTER (75) Sarah (62) Orrin(23) Ruth(26) - all one house. There is also an Albert CARPENTER (22) living with the TURNERS, and a Huldah CARPENTER with the BERRYS. In 1860 Leonard CARPENTER and family are listed in Fairfield. Perhaps if you trace these on out you will find your William. I'll watch for him. Jessie Deith

Help! Is there a way that I can find out if Adelia Terwilliger married Alonzo Barber, somewhere between 1865 and 1870? Then did she divorce him between 1870 and 1876? Last question did she marry Seth Baxter about 1876? If anyone can answer this question it will be most appreciated. Thanks Sandy Ankney Defiance, Ohio

The only church in Ripley that I am aware of is the Ripley Congregational Church with the Edwards Grove Cemetery. A sister, Ida Sclesta Tilton, of my grandmother, Lucy Belle Tilton, married a William Carpenter, 12/9/1903. I'm wondering if he is a descendent of ASA or ORBON CARPENTER. Does anyone know the answer to this question? Jim Pettit

I just read the reply by Ken Shute concerning the marriage certificates at the court house. I must be confused about something, as I thought the vital records in Ohio now were only available as certified copies and were $15 a piece. I know I had purchased some before the law change. Is it only birth and death certificates that are $15 now? I thought marriage records were included.

Thank You Ken Schute. You have been a big help. I have been at that so called "Blank Wall" For a long time on this branch. You have given be so good lead to go to. We did have a big Decker Beal reunion every year before WW2 but while we were gone, the group decided they wanted a new historian. He forgot and left the book on top of the garbage can in the back yard and the rubbish man took it. It was a very complete history of the families. It seemed it was almost intentional If there is anything I can do for you in the San Diego Area just let me now. I am grateful and humble.

For the location of cemeteries in each township, go to the link "Pioneers, History, and Maps", then click on "Detailed township maps." Click on the square for Ripley Twp to see the cemeteries and their locations for that township. The Christian Church Cemetery, or Houfstater Cemetery, is shown as item 1 on the map, section 4. For an index to the inscriptions contained in the Huron County, Ohio Cemetery Inscriptions book, click on "Archives" then click on "Cemeteries." Finally, click on the category containing the surname of interest, e.g. "C-D" for Carpenter. Scroll to the list of Carpenter names and you will find "Asa Carpenter" appearing (3 times) on page 813 of the Inscriptions book. Regards, Ken Shute ([email protected])
