Hi Norma, My ggg grandparents lived in Ashland County when gg grandfather was born. They were Israel and Louisiana (Lucy Ann) (HELTMAN) STALEY, marr 3 Jun 1847 Ashland Co by J.D. Benedict, M.G. Children born were: Joseph (my gg grandfather) b. 6 Dec 1849; Almyra b. @1851/52; Mary Ann b. @ 1855/56; Jeremiah H. b. April 1859. Joseph married Mary RICKARD 17 Sep 1874 Ashland Co. and shortly thereafter they moved to Southwest Wisconsin (Green, Lafayette and Grant counties) Almyra married A.M. WILLIAMS Mary Ann married Dallas DEAN and later William N. CORNWELL Jeremiah became Dr. Jeremiah H. STEALY and married Emma SULLIVAN and then Zara ANDERSON. I'm hoping to find Israel's family, as he just disappeared after Lucy died in 1868. The children were all living with maternal grandparents (Joseph) Andrew and Catherine (GOLDMAN) HELTMAN in the 1870 census, in Ashland, Ashland Co., OH. That's about all I have! Thanks for asking:-) Nancy

In attempting to break down a brick wall I am looking for the marriage name of my gg-grandfather's sister. This could prove to be a problem. All I know is that her first name was listed as Carrie in a bio about her sister and brother-in-law. So I guess possible given names could be Catherine, Caroline, or Carolyn, or maybe it's just Carrie. The last name could also be confusing. It seems my family spelled it different every time they wrote it. Schenk, Schank, Shank and I have recently seen it as Schenck. If anyone could see if they could find Carrie's marriage, I would greatly appreciate it! Mary (Shank) Smith >> Hi Mary, I found a few bits and pieces regarding a Carrie/Caroline Shank in our Huron County, Ohio publications which might or might not relate to your Shank (& variations) family. In our Huron County, Ohio Marriages by Scheuer Publications I find : Caroline Shank m. Andrew Howk 24 April 1866, Book 2, Page 9. I couldn't find anything else on Andrew Howk, except I did find a Jacob Howk listed as a Blacksmith for Company I, 3rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Cavalry (page 108, Roster of Soldiers, Civil War, History of the Firelands, by W. W. Williams, 1879). You also mention seeing a Carrie (Shank) in a bio about her sister and brother-in-law. This might be the same as the reference you cite, but in our History of Huron County, Ohio by A.J. Baughman, 1909, I see in Volume 2, Page 348, a biographical sketch on Mathias Claus which refers to the Shank family, including Carrie Shank. The bio mentions that Mathias married Josephine Shank 2 Jan 1867. Josephine was the daughter of Frank and Helen Shank of Sherman Township. Josephine was born in Germany 14 Feb 1846 and came to America with her father at age 18. They settled in Norwich Township where the father died at age 75. The mother had died in Germany years before at age 42. Frank and Helen Shank were parents of six children, four of whom were still living as of 1909. The two oldest sons, Frank and Benjamin, died earlier. Of the others, Elias lives in Norwich Township; Josephine is the wife of Mathias Claus; Carrie is living in Fremont and Agnes in Tiffin. To follow up the above, in our Atlas of 1873 for Huron County, Ohio, there is listed the following property owners: B. Shank (possibly Benjamin??), Norwich Twp, page 29, section 3, lot 22. E. Shank (possibly Elias??), Norwich Twp, page 29, section 3, lots 11 & 12. F. Shank, Jr. (possibly Frank, Jr.??). Our Atlas of 1891 for Huron County, Ohio shows: Frank Shank, Norwich Twp, page 31, section 3, lots 22, 12, 13, & 30. Regards, Ken Shute P.S. I was just getting ready to send this when your update on the Shank family came in. Looks like we have a match (Baughman's). Our 1891 Atlas shows an Elry Shenk owning property in Norwich: page 31, section 3, lots 10, 11, & 12).

Boy am I having trouble with this request. The last sibling should be Agatha not Gather - don't know what happened there. And it might help if I signed my name. Sorry All!

So here is the original info I sent and a little more I know of the family. Is anyone doing marriage look-ups?

If anyone could see if they could find Carrie's marriage, I would greatly appreciate it! Here's what else I know: I believe Carrie's parents were Franz Schenk And Helen (maiden name unknown). Carrie and her siblings were all born in Germany (all the obits and bios of the siblings say Germany but one obit says Alsace-Lorraine Germany so I suspect that it was actually France) as Helen died before they came to the U.S. I don't have a birthdate for Carrie but I do for her siblings. They are: Frank b. 1835 (my gg-grandfather) Benjamin b. 1837 Elry b. 1840 Josephine b. 1844 Gather b. 1846 The family came to the U.S. about 1850. First went to Sandusky. Then moved to Huron Co. The family attended St Sebastian's Catholic in Bismarck, Ohio and many are buried there. Some of the family changed the spelling of the name to Schank, and my part of the family went to Shank. I am not aware of any part of my family staying with Schenk but that doesn't mean they didn't because I recently found my g-grandfather's marriage record and the name was spelled Schenck - I had never seen the second "c" in the name before in reference to my family. Again I apologize for the lack of info in my first message and I hope some one can help me out with some info on Carrie. Thank you in advance for your help.

They are: Frank b. 1835 (my gg-grandfather) Benjamin b. 1837 Elry b. 1840 Josephine b. 1844 Gather b. 1846 The family came to the U.S. about 1850. First went to Sandusky. Then moved to Huron Co. The family attended St Sebastian's Catholic in Bismarck, Ohio and many are buried there. Some of the family changed the spelling of the name to Schank, and my part of the family went to Shank. I am not aware of any part of my family staying with Schenk but that doesn't mean they didn't because I recently found my g-grandfather's marriage record and the name was spelled Schenck - I had never seen the second "c" in the name before in reference to my family. Again I apologize for the lack of info in my first message and I hope some one can help me out with some info on Carrie. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Listers, Is anyone doing marriage look-ups? In attempting to break down a brick wall I am looking for the marriage name of my gg-grandfather's sister. This could prove to be a problem. All I know is that her first name was listed as Carrie in a bio about her sister and brother-in-law. So I guess possible given names could be Catherine, Caroline, or Carolyn, or maybe it's just Carrie. The last name could also be confusing. It seems my family spelled it different every time they wrote it. Schenk, Schank, Shank and I have recently seen it as Schenck. If anyone could see if they could find Carrie's marriage, I would greatly appreciate it! Mary (Shank) Smith

To Kathy Baker, I would like the Alonzo Mead and Sarah Benedict of 4 Feb 1834, Huron Co., OH marriages. klvjjs@aol.com Thank You

Hello Tom Neel and list, I just want to say thank you to Tom for the book, I recieved it today and found it to be a treasure chest of sorts on the man I was researching. I would recommend the book for the history it provides. It covers alot and provides information from the 1800's and early 1900's. I like to think of these columns as historical treasures which have been preserved and presented in an book form. Makes for great reading! I enjoyed the accounts of the train carrying the body of the assasinated President Abraham Lincoln through New London on its way to Springfield ILL. I'm sure as I get more into this particular branch that I'm researching, this book will proove to be a great tool. Thanks again Tom for bringing it to my attention. Maureen

If anyone would like a scan of the original let me know. Kathy Baker These are difficult to read so if anything looks close to what you are looking for, it could well be them. Wm. Thomas Peirce and Nancy Boice, 2 Feb 1854 Michael Boehler (Bailey) and Kinnie Hiltz, 3 Feb 1854 Alonzo Mead and Sarah Benedict, 4 Feb 1834 O? Mullen or Muller and Julia Riley, 6 Feb 1854

Judy, I looked again and the page works fine with my old Netscape ver. 4.7. I'm not using ver. 6 as I tried it some time ago and ran into a lot of problems.

It's a little complicated but here goes: John Courtright first shows up for sure when he married 1797 to Mary Clark (don't laugh!) in the Stillwater Church in sussex co., NJ. Then their daughter Sarah was born 1798, however her baptism wasn't recorded untill 8 years later in the Minisink dutch Reformed Church, along w/ a lot of other late entries. Most were connected to the John Kortright/Susanna Kittle clan, including Westfalls & Deckers. (John & Susanna baptised a son in Minnisink in 1780.) Then in 1800 John shows up in the census for Beaver Co., PA, that's near Pittsburgh & was just formed from Washington Co.,PA that year. A Thomas Cortwright was in Greene Co., PA a few years later, that county also formed from Washington Co.,PA. More on him in another note. In 1800 John had a wife & 2 kids listed, which would be Sarah born 1798 & Jacob V. born 1799, although he gets younger in the later census records. :>) they stayed in Beaver co until 1818 when they moved just across the state line into Columbiana co., OH. Interestingly that's the same year the Coshocton Cortrights made their move. John was last in the 1830 Jefferson Co., OH census, his son Jacob V. was still in Columbiana but in 1850 he moved to Huron Co. The Westfalls & Figleys were all in on these moves. In fact in 1850 Jacob V. was living next door to the Westfalls & Deckers. Jacob's sister Rebecca, the youngest, moved to the Fort Wayne IN area in 1855 & another brother moved to CA, but the rest stayed in OH. John's son William married Mary Sergent, who is possibly the d/o Thomas Sergent & Naomi Westfall. The counties I've found them in so far include: Athens, Belmont, Carroll, Columbiana, Harrison, Huron, Jefferson, Putnam, Seneca & Tuscarawas.
