Dear List, For the past couple of years I have followed this list closely. During that time I've reaped a lot of information from it and thank you all for the help you have given me. However, I have found that I have now collected a bunch of material that needs to be organized and have decided to drop off the list for a time in order to do that. I will be back after I have things in order. In the meantime, please, if anyone has any information on any of the following people, please e-mail me directly at [email protected] . John Marshall (about 1804 to unknown date after 1860) and his wife Margaret McKinney Marshall (about 1804 to unknown date after 1860) Both believed to be from western PA but married in Harrison County OH in 1824. Lived there until about 1840 when they moved to Fulton County IL. Found in 1860 Fulton County IL census. Nothing further. John William Henderson (b. 1795, d. 1876) and his wife Nancy Jane Russell (b. 1798, d. 1880) Both were from Westmoreland County PA and were probably married there. They moved to Harrison County OH around 1820 and to Fulton County IL about 1840. Both died in Fulton County IL and are buried there. Thomas Henderson (b. about 1798, died after 1860) and his wife Dorcas Russell Henderson (b. about 1796, died after 1860) Both were from Westmoreland County PA and but married in Harrison County OH in 1822. They moved to Fulton County IL before 1860. They are in the 1860 Fulton County census but may have moved on to Iowa. Nancy Jane Russell and Dorcas Russell were sisters. John William Henderson and Thomas Henderson may also have been related; possibly brothers or cousins.

Have you followed them in the census? Checked each county history for articles on their family in the counties they & their children lived? Ordered birth & death records as well as applications for the marriage licenses for them, their children & grandchildren? Each/Any of the above may contain the clues you seek. If that doesn't work, please let me know & we'll think of something else (grin).

I believe this book may be purchased either from the Jefferson Co. Genealogy Society or the Ohio Genealogy Society. With Jefferson Co. roots it is probably a great addition to your genealogy library. I know many people who purchase books, use them for their own family research then donate them to their local genealogy library for a tax credit off their income tax! I believe the book is copywrited.

Thomas, this kind of message is not appropriate here. If it continues I will be required to delete you as a participant. The people here can't control the sexton of a cemetery. I believe they have tried to help you as much as they can. Maybe you should plan a trip to Jefferson Co. to do your own research and you will then know the difficulties of "on site" research. Carol List owner

I would be grateful if anyone with access to the cemetery inscriptions would check for the name Maxwell before 1815. They were Associate Presbyterians but I suspect that didn't matter all that much given the extremely limited population at the time. Thanks Josette Maxwell Boone NC

On the one tombstone inscription page that I have says: The town of Warrenton was erected in 1801 and surveyed in 1805 by Enos Kimberly. The town suffered two bad floods, one in 1832 and one in 1852. It once had a U.P. Church and a M.E. Church. The town no longer exists. The cemetery is quite old and is on a hill and can be seen from St. Rd 7. A narrow rough rod leads to the cemetery. Only about one half of the stones are legible. Many are of a poor sandstone. Copied Sept. 13, 1967. Beverly Bigger McCalla---Surnames names: BIGGER and MCCUNE [email protected]

Could anybody tell me where the Seceder Cemetery is ? I do have one page (66) of the tombstone Inscriptions of this cemetery from Powell/Tombstone Inscriptions & Family Records of Jefferson County, Ohio. Does anybody have access to the Powell/Tombstone Inscriptions???? I am researching BIGGER and McCUNE. I have one page (149) of Inscriptions of the Warrenton Cemetery copied Sept. 13, 1967. Does anybody know where I can get a copy of more of the inscriptions of this cemetery? Again researching BIGGER. Thank you, Beverly Bigger McCalla Washington State--so far away from my research.

The Recorder's office in each county in Ohio is to maintain the soldier's grave registration file (as does the Adjutant General of the State of Ohio) I'd suggest you drop them a line and ask them to check for your soldier.
