I have another question, about the book the genealogy society made. It's regarding the "Steuben" cemetery. I have a JOHN CROW (my gr-gr-grandfather) who disappeared from Canada in the mid 1850's and his brother Robert Crow I just found out was buried at the Steuben Cemetery. Well in this cemetery is John Crow who died (or was buried) in the cemetery April 20, 1858 at age 37 years, 4 months, 2 days. How can I find out any more info about this John Crow. Like what records were looked at to write this book where someone put down the exact age, and possibly the exact death date, or burial date, which ever it is for the book. This is very important to my research that I establish John Crow, either brother of Robert, or son of Robert (that is his father's name) or born in Ontario? He was living in Raleigh ON before he disappeared, and his wife's name is Jeanne Ouellette and she also disappeared, but maybe she died first and he went to Huron County to see his brother. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I have never done OH research, or only a tiny bit. Coleen >> Hi Coleen, Re the source of information appearing in the Huron County, Ohio Cemetery Inscription book: I may have misunderstood your question ("like what records were looked at to write this book..."), but the information that appears therein is the actual inscriptions appearing on the tombstones as copied by HCC/OGS volunteers. In some cases, information from burial cards held by the cemetery were included in the book, but a source of this type, as opposed to a tombstone inscription, would be identified as such. This project took 10 years to complete. I found several references to Robert CROW in our Huron County, Ohio publications. I also found references to two CROW families--one in Jefferson County, Ohio, and one in Pickaway County, Ohio, in which a John and Robert CROW were listed as brothers. I don't know if these could be yours, but I throw them in your shopping cart nevertheless. Details: 1. Huron County, Ohio Cemetery Inscriptions. Steuben Cemetery, Greenfield Township. Page 137.
