I am mostly looking for Stotts(es) who married > Dyes, Clarks or Wells. I think it most definitely would have been between 1815 > and 1850. > > For Karen STOTTS Myatt Hi Karen, I've checked our Huron County, OH publications, and some online resources, but have been unable to find a connection between the Reuben Stotts of Ripley Twp, and the Reuben Stotts who married Rachel Clark of Fulton County in 1845. First, I could find no marriages between any STOTTS, and any DYEs, CLARKs or WELLs, in our Huron County Marriage Book (Brides and Grooms). However, I did find some references to the Ripley Twp Reuben Stotts that you might not have (and some you probably do have). I get a picture of contrasts: In Atlases of (ca) 1845 and again in 1873, the Ripley Reuben is seen as a landowner and farmer of 162 acres of land in Ripley Twp, and presumably a responsible, hard- working toiler of the soil Yet later, in a posting on Rootsweb.com, he is rumored to be a stage ventriloquist, and his daughter Ella was a snake charmer,with the conjecture that they might have worked with a circus Also, in an article written by Henry Timman for the Norwalk Reflector in 1984, there is mention that in 1894, Reuben, Jr.,the son of Ripley Reuben, was part of a "theatrical act" with his sister Ella Barnes. Reuben, Jr. was also mentioned as owning a farm in Ripley Twp at that time. Here are the findings on Ripley Reuben: 1. From our Marriage Book: Reuben Stotts m.

From Google Search Stotts- L Archives Subject: Reuben Stotts Posted by: R.D. Stotts ([email protected]) Date: 12 Jan 2000 Some excerpts from the posting: Reuben Styotts was born 2 Sep 1806 in Jefferson Co., OH to Jacob and Matilda Stotts. He was first seen in 1830 in Huron County. He purchased land there from Jacob in 1834. He married Martha Fisher 20 Sep 1865. He had a son Reuben, a daughter Ella, and another daughter Sarah who died young. It is said that Reuben was a stage ventriloquist. My father knew about this. His daughter (Ella) was a snake charmer.Maybe they worked in a circus. Their was some talk about this. 16. Just Like Old Times, Book V by Henry Timman, published originally in the Norwalk Reflector, Norwalk, OH. The article is titled "Stottses livened up Ripley Township," dated March 23, 1984. Excerpt: "In 1894, another cousin of the Stotts family created a sensation in Ripley. Reuben Stotts was part of a theatrical act known as Stotts and Barnes, with his sister Ella Barnes as the other partner. He also owned a farm in Ripley which he had leased to Daniel and Anna McLaughlin. The theatrical act was stranded at some point and decided to return to Reuben's farm in Ripley. They forcibly ejected the McLaughlins and their furniture from the house. That night the neighbors held an Indignation Meeting and went to eject Stotts, Ella Barnes, and a W.J. Holmes. Firearms were brought into play and Holmes was seriously injured, but the intruders held the fort. The McLaughlins then sued for $10,000 in damages. The were awarded $24.95 in damages and had to split the cost with the defendents, according to court records." So while I could find no link between the RipleyTwp Reuben Stotts and the Fulcon County Reuben Stotts, there appears to be a great deal of missing information between 1806, when the Ripley Reuben is said to have been born in Jefferson County, OH, and the early to mid-1840's when he is seen as a property owner in Ripley Twp, so the link may exist--- just not found yet.

Thanks so much for all the valuable information, and taking the time to respond. I will look into it now that I have a little clearer path on what to do. Sue Simonich

Hi Sue, The query you sent to Cuyahoga has conflicting data. Congress Lands, the U.S. Military District and the Western Reserve were all very different surveys and located in different parts of the state of Ohio. There is a booklet, published in 2002 by the Auditor of the State of Ohio, called "The Official Ohio Lands Book", written by Dr. George W. Knepper. It is available at any Ohio county recorder's office. Earlier editions were free, but I do not know if this edition is free. If there is a charge it will be small. It provides a lot of information about how Ohio lands were originally surveyed and sold. It is well worth having for the help it provides to those who are researching land records in Ohio. Based on the map in this book, it appears that the western most townships of today's Lorain Co. were a part of the Firelands. This would include Brownhelm Township. If you are not in Ohio, check www.auditor.state.oh.us You should be able to find out how to go about obtaining a copy of this book at the auditor's website. I believe you will find the answers to just about all your questions about the survey and sale of Ohio lands in this book. It covers each section separately. It includes data about Congress Lands, the U.S. Military District, the Western Reserve and all the others. Once you know the whys and wherefores of the division of Ohio lands it should be easier to track down the deed records you seek. The book also explains how range and township numbers work which will also make it easier to locate the property. The description you have included in the message you sent to Cuyahoga Co. indicates you are not familiar with how ranges and townships were established. The Western Reserve and Firelands are surveys, not a range. Brownhelm is a township. A section will be a number not a geographical description such as "first ridge". I have seen some of your posts on other lists. The information you received from Nancy on the Lorain Co. list is accurate. The Firelands are a part of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The original sale of the land in the Firelands was handled differently from the original sale of the other land in the Western Reserve. The Western Reserve was not *bounty land* in the same terms as we think of *bounty land* in other parts of Ohio or the U.S. This is where the "Ohio Lands" book will again be helpful. From page 26 of the book: "On May 10, 1792, the Connecticut state legislature set aside the western most 500,000 acres of the Western Reserve to compensate, in proportion to their loss, the 1,866 Connecticut residents whose property had been damaged by the British coastal raiders during the American Revolution." This was *not* for military service. This was for loss of private property. Bounty land was awarded for military service. As to where to find the actual deed records, they should be in the deed records of the county in which the land was located at the time the deed was *recorded*. Note that I say *recorded* not sold. The date of recording may or may not be the same as the date of the sale. You may have to search in more than one county to locate the deed record you seek. If I were doing this, I would first look in Lorain Co., as that is where the land is today. Chances are that even if the land was officially part of another county at the time you ancestor's deed was recorded, the deed has been copied from that county's record books into Lorain County record books. It is not absolute, but the chances are good that it has. You will need to contact the Lorain County Recorder. Sorry, I do not have a number. I do not know if they will do genealogical research in their records. Be very much aware that even though your ancestor may have first purchased the land as early as 1819, the deed may not have actually been recorded until much much later. The longest I have seen so far is a span of over 100 years. This was for land in today's Wayne Co., OH. This land was purchased in 1818 and was not sold out of the family until 1925, which was when the original U.S. land patent was first recorded. Of course if the land was in Brownhelm township, Lorain Co. where will not be a U.S. patent for this land. Most likely you are looking for a warranty deed. As you are aware, it will be necessary to look under *all* possible spelling variations. Something else to consider is that not all early settlers actually bought the land they lived on. Many did, but not all. I hope this information will be of help to you. Do get a copy of the "Ohio Lands" book. It can tell you much more than I have here. Donna

Hello I am new to the list and have a specific question regarding the "Firelands". I was recently informed that parts of Lorain Co. were originally Huron Co. and I am looking for records for Brownhelm in Lorain Co. The main question here is . . . Was Brownhelm originally in Huron Co. and part of the Firelands as opposed to the Western Reserve? I know the Western Reserve was established first and then the Firelands, but none of the information I have found has delineated for me the boundaries. It appears that Brownhelm could be in either Huron or Cuyahoga county that early. My second question is - if it was originally in Huron where would the early land records for that area be? The following is a query letter I wrote recently to Cuyahoga Co. trying to resolve the above questions. It also gives specific information about the pers ons I am looking for. > I am looking for land records for the Connecticut Western Reserve.  The > Ohio Historical Society indicated that your facility might have the records as > these lands were directly conveyed by Congress to single entities. The trouble > with finding these records has been that I have been bounced from one > library or archive to another, in Ohio and Connecticut, and no one seems to know > for sure where the records are housed. > > The information I have is as follows. > > Area: Congress Lands US Military District > Property Owner: James Newberry/Newbery/Newbury > County: Currently Lorain/unsure if earlier county wasn't Cuyahoga or Huron >           > Range: Firelands/Western Reserve > Township: Brownhelm > Section: first ridge >     > Additional Description or General Information: >   > This is the information that I have found so far. > > First Settlers of Brownhelm, Ohio > From History of Lorain County Ohio, Williams Brothers, Philadelphia 1879  > pg. 220 > > "There were originally five lines of settlement in town, the lake shore > (Erie) and the four ridges parallel to it.  On the lake shore there were Brown, > Seymour, James, Shepard, Weed, Dr. Brown, Goodrich, Hart, SLY, Wells, Graham > and Sheldon Johnson; and at the later day, Hawley Lathrop and Leach.  Between > the shore and the first ridge, Cooley, Barnum, Scott; and later Perly Moulton > and Rankin.  Along the first ridge Whittlesey, Alverson, Peter P.

Hello fellow researchers, I am not new to the list, this is just a new email, the old one being [email protected] Can any one tell me if researching in Huron County back in the early 1900's is it possible to find information in Erie County? This family I am researching lived in Norwalk, there was an marriage annoucement in the Sandusky Registar and this makes me think that perhaps I need to check out Erie County as well. And the father died at the Hospital in Toledo, so would there not be info on him as well in Erie? Thanks Penny

Subject: Re: [OHHURON-L] Found article for -->Train/car wreck in 1929 Source: Chronicle Telegram (Elyria, Ohio) Friday, 1929, July 26 Headline: Three enroute to Vermilion picnic killed by train. Norwalk, Ohio, July 26. Triple funeral services will be held for three members of one family, killed at Ceylon, near here, last yesterday, when their automobile was struck by a New York Central flyer. The victims were Arthur Lockwood, 50, his wife, May, 47, and a daughter, Alice, 15. Another daughter, Mable, 7, will recover, although she was seriously injured. A standing freight train apparently obscured Lockwood's view of the approaching passenger train when he drove onto the tracks. Danger lights at the crossing also were obscured. The Lockwoods were enroute to a Sunday school picnic at Vermilion when the tragedy occurred. Thats all that was in that newspaper.

Could SKS who has a copy of the Huron County Ohio Index of Cemetery Inscriptions please look on page 236 and tell me all it says about FrankMallory? I'd appreciate it and could check the Ottawa County Ohio Cemetery Inscriptions in return. TIA Sharon
