Can anyone tell me where/how I find naturalization information for Huron County? My husbands ggrandfather, Thomas Edward Wilson, immigrated to the US from England in 1886 and went straight to Norwalk. According to the census records, he was naturalized in 1891. Thanks for any help. Lynne

Hi List: I am looking for information about the COOK's and PETTIS's in Townsend Township, Huron County, Ohio. I have the 1840 US census for that township with the following heads of households. Aaron COOK M F (I know that Aaron is the male age 50-60 and that his under 5 0 2 wife Rachel is the female age 30-40. My great grand- 5-10 1 9 father is not listed in this census because he was born 10-15 1 1 later that year. My questions are does anyone know who 15-20 0 1 the other children are? Are some of them Aaron's from 20-30 1 0 another marriage? Are some of them Rachel's from 30-40 0 1 another marriage? In 1850 they are only listed with two 50-60 1 0 two children: Harrison and William.) Hiram COOK M F (I know that Hiram's wife is Mary E. Vining and that they under 5 1 1 were married in 1838 in Huron County. Who are the 5-10 1 2 children?) 10-15 1 1 15-20 0 1 20-30 0 0 30-40 1 1 Oliver PETTIS M F (How are these next three PETTIS families related to under 5 0 0 Rachel wife of Aaron COOK? Is the older couple her 5-10 0 2 parents? Her fathers name is Kenyon PETTIS. If so 10-15 0 3 what are their names?) 15-20 0 1 20-30 0 1 30-40 0 0 40-50 0 1 50-60 0 0 60-70 0 0 70-80 1 1 Oliver PETTIS M F under 5 0 0 5-10 1 1 10-15 0 2 15-20 1 3 (hard to read looks like a 3) 20-30 1 1 30-40 1 0 40-50 0 1 M______PETTIS (first name could be Mead - hard to read) M F under 5 1 0 5-10 1 0 10-15 0 0 15-20 0 1 20-30 1 1 Any help with these families would be greatly appreciated. thanks Dee Dittman

Hi Claudia, I do read all the news about Huron County I can. Did East Townsend or Townsend have their own paper in 1840's or so? Or what paper would they use? I ordered from inter library loan a newspaper from Norwalk which I thought might help me. Does that sound right to you? Thanks in advance.

Hi, all, The Wakeman Library has just completed two new additions to their online library, and the beginnings of our next project. We have just added a book called "Birmingham of Yesteryear", and a newspaper called the "Birmingham Clarion". We also have the first 10 pages of "The History of Clarksfield" by Weeks online and searchable. Our transcriber, Lowell Dunlap, is hard at work and has 50 pages typed. The first 10 have been proofread, and the next 40 will be online as soon as the proofreading is completed. Birmingham of Yesteryear is a book full of old pictures of Birmingham with it's history. The Clarion is a newspaper that was printed somewhere near 1980. However, it is a special issue full of historic information. All the information online is searchable now, with the exception of the newspaper "Vermilion Valley News". This is photocopies of the pages of the newspaper. All of the information can be reached from the Wakeman Home page: http://www.wakeman-ohio.com as well as from the Genealogy Resources page of the Wakeman Community Library: http://www.wakemanlibrary.com Good luck, and remember to try several different spelling of the names.

Hi all! I will be gone from March 9 through March 19 for vacation. I'll be spending part of that time in Florida, but when I get back I'll try to monitor the list from home.

I am trying to prove the parentage of Hiram Odell, believed born in Norwalk, OH. between 1837-1841 to Samuel and Phoebe McCormick Odell. His gravestone, located in Sandusky Co, lists his birth as 1837. His pension records list his age in 1866 as 25 and born in Norwalk. that would make the date 1841. Are there any such records for this era? Does anyone have a suggestion how to find this? He is listed in later years in census records with Samuel and Phoebe, but he was an adult at that time, and it does not prove they were his parents. I know there is a Hiram Odell who resided in Huron Co. at this time, but he would have been a brother to Samuel. Would appreciate any help anyone could give. Thanks. Pat in Indiana

Marinda was married to Marshall Johnson, who died in 1855, according to several refernces we've found in Wakeman. I am wondering if Marinda, a widow, might have married a widower, Daniel Hemenway, later? Are you able to do a marriage lookup for me? I am sorry I don't seem to be able to narrow down the dates any further than after 1855 and before 1871. Thanks for any help you can give me. Gayle >> Hi Gayle, Our Huron County, Ohio Marriages, 1815-1900, by Scheuer Publications, 1992, shows no record of a marriage between a Mrs. Marinda/Miranda BRADLEY JOHNSON and a Daniel HEMENWAY. However it does show the following: Marshall JOHNSON m. Miranda BRADLEY 21 Oct 1820 (old book 1, page 60) Note: In the History of the Fire Lands by W.W. Williams, 1879, there is mention on page 189 that this was the first marriage in Wakeman Township, that it took place at the house of Abram BRONSON, and that Marinda BRADLEY was a relative of the BRONSON family. It also mentions that this couple raised a family of 13 children. Charles HEMINWAY m. Sarah A. BRADLEY 11 Oct 1854 (old book 3, page 378). Note: Ancestry.com shows the spouse of Charles Hemenway was Sarah Ann BRADLEY, and that his parents were Daniel HEMENWAY and Marinda (HEMENWAY). Also, the Huron County, Ohio Cemetery Inscription book, on page 430 for Grove Street Cemetery, New London Township, lists "Mir(i)nda B. HEMENWAY, w/o Daniel HEMENWAY, d. 8 Feb 1862 age 65y 2m 10d." Buried close by is "Daniel HEMENWAY d. 7 Jan 1871 age 70y 11m 8d." Unfortunately, neither the Ancestry.com reference, nor the Cemetery Inscription reference gives the maiden name of this Marinda/Mir(i)nda. The Death Index for Huron County, Ohio, 1867-1908, lists: Marinda JOHNSON d. 03/13/1873, Vol. 1, Page 30. Daniel HEMINGWAY d. 01/08/1871, Vol. 1, Page 30. Note: if this Marinda JOHNSON is the same as Marinda BRADLEY JOHNSON, it would appear she is a different person from the Mir(i)nda B. HEMENWAY, w/o Daniel HEMENWAY, who d. 8 Feb 1862. The 1870 Census Index for Huron County, OH lists a Daniel HEMENWAY, but not a Marinda (BRADLEY) (HEMENWAY), among the HEMENWAYs listed for Census Page 378A, New London Township. Read first name, age and place of birth: Almira, 44, OH. C.V., 32, OH Daniel, 70, MA. Ella, 14, OH. Estella, 2, OH. Joseph, 45, MA. Lavina, 35, NY. Maney, 37, MA. Mary, 15, OH. Orin, 13, OH. Orlina, 26, OH. The 1870 Census Index for Huron County, OH, also lists a Marinda JOHNSON among those JOHNSONs appearing on Census Page 605A for Wakeman Township. Read first name, age, and place of birth: Marinda, 68, CT. Edna, 13, OH. Lillie, 6, OH. Martin, 36, OH. Sarah A., 43, OH. While it would seem that the Marinda/Miranda BRADLEY who m. Marshall JOHNSON is not the same person who m. Daniel HEMENWAY, it's also tempting to believe that the Sarah A. BRADLEY, who married Charles HEMENWAY, is somehow related to this same Marinda/Miranda BRADLEY. Sech a conundrum! Regards, Ken Shute My motto: If you can't say it in 1,000 words or more, it's not worth saying.
