Looking for the family of Daniel Shively b. ca. 1755-60 and was in Jefferson County 1810. Elizabeth Johnson/Johnston married Daniel Hazelbaker 1821 - would like information on this Elizabeth Johnson.

I hope someone will post to the the List This would also interest me greatly. Thanks

Would like to know the experiences of others who have signed on to the various online census sites - good or bad. Have considered Ancestry but have had some problems with their main site in the past. Am willing to deal with some problems so long as quality is good and price reasonable. Thanks, Kathy

Were your Shivelys German Brethren? If so the Brethren mailing list folks might be able to help you tremendously.

Researching the Shively Family that came out of Virginia and into Jefferson County after 1800.

Can anyone tell me the status of the Center Chapel Cemetery in Island Creek District? Is it a currently operating cemetery, or is it long closed? I am looking for some relatives that are probably buried there. Does anyone if there exists a list of those buried at that cemetery. Sincerely, Jerry Hobart

Hi: I am a first time poster to this list. Looking for family or ancestors of my grandmother Mary Belle DODDS BILLINGSLEY. She was born in Bloomfield in Jefferson Co. on January 16, 1861. As far as I have been able to find out, her parents were John and Amanda E, or possibly Amanda R. Scott Dodds....I do not know if she had any siblings from this marriage. I just received information that Bloomfield was changed to Bloomingdale in the 1960s (Thank You, Nola). There is a strong possibility that her father died young and her mother remarried a John Lyons, on March 3, 1868. They had three sons. Thanks in advance........Peggy Billingsley Paterchak

Hi all, Looking for anything on a NANCY MARTIN, of whom, I know very little about. I am guessing her to have been born 1815 to 1825, but could be a few years either way. What I do know for certain is she had a daughter Martha in 1850 who's father is listed as Benjamin Clifton. I do know in 1883 Martha visited her brothers William & David Clifton in Steubenville. At that time Martha was widowed from Harvey Calkins, returned to Putnam Co. where she married Solomon Wollam. He died 1918, she in 1919. I do not know if Nancy was also the mother of William and David. In 1840 index there was a Thomas Martin p. 084 & a Margaret Martin p.089 in Steubenville. These same pages also have other Clifton & Clifton-connected names. Margaret is not listed 1850 index, but Thomas is. I am unable to locate either Benjamin or Nancy 1850, assume they died, do not know who raised Martha. Any crumb appreciated. Faith [email protected]

Hi, Our family has an old family cemetery. I was wondering if anyone has knowledge about how to clean the old head stones. I don't want to use something that my damage them. But some are getting hard to read. I know I have heard of cemetery where they have went in and cleaned the old stones and they look wonderful. Thank for any help or information on where to look for such information. Marge,Kansas (state)

Could any lister do a lookup on the 1900 Jefferson Co census for a Loftus family,specifically Ellen or Jennie Loftus. Could also be listed as Ellen Loughley(sometimes spelled Lockley). Thanks,Bob Loughley

Hi! I am looking for my ggrandfather who I believe was born in Steubenville Ohio in 1838. His name was John Mitcheltree Mordock, son of Matthew L. and Margaret Irvine Mordock. The last name has been misspelled Murdock and Murdick in various documents. If anyone has any suggestions on how I might locate him I would be most appreciative. Thank you. Maryann Mordock Swigart

Dog Tags Found In Viet Nam On a recent "Today Show" there was a story about two men who went to Hanoi on a business trip. The men encountered a guy selling old GI dog tags from US servicemen who were killed during the Viet Nam War. They were disgusted by the thought of this man profiting from the sale of these tags. Upon returning to the US, they decided to go back to Viet Nam and purchase ALL the dog tags. They did so, paying 19 cents per tag! They brought home several hundred tags. The plan is to return the tags to surviving family members, when they can find them. The process has already begun with one set being turned over to a grieving Mom on July 4th, (coincidentally, it was on her birthday)! These two men have set up a website, "http://www.founddogtags.com" listing the names of all those whose tags they purchased. If you lost friends, family, or know of someone who lost a loved one in Viet Nam, I suggest you check out this website. If you recognize a name, there's an e-mail address to contact these two men and to help in their efforts to return the dogtag to it's rightful survivor. I'm sure a family member would be eternally grateful to have such an important item returned. Please help by checking this website. And please send the website address to everyone you know. The more people who see the lists, the greater the chance of returning ALL the tags to those who lost loved ones in Viet Nam!

Hi there. Wondering if anyone has any information on the MOREHEAD family that lived in and around Wayne Township, Jefferson Co. I have an Andrew MOREHEAD born about 1794 in Ohio/Virginia. He married a Margaret Jane HESSER in 1820. They had 4 children to my knowledge. John, b. 1820-1823, Alexander b. 1829-1830, Margaret Jane b. 1831-1836 and George Francis b. 1837-1840 in Jefferson County. There was an Andrew Morehead in 1820 Census in Jefferson as well as a William MOREHEAD in the same census and same township, Wayne. He could be a father. Can anyone help in finding out where Andrew was born and anything further on this family. They were in Illinois by 1843 or so. Many thanks. My e-mail is [email protected] Take Care. Jim Tasmania

This came in on another list and I thought it important enough to VietNam vets and family to pass it on.

Subject: A lesson for every citizen of the United States of America. Take out a one dollar bill and look at it. The one dollar bill you're looking at first came off the presses in 1957 in its present design. This so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen blend, with red and blue minute silk fibers running through it. It is actually material. We've all washed it without it falling apart. A special blend of ink is used, the contents we will never know. It is overprinted with symbols and then it is starched to make it water resistant and pressed to give it that nice crisp look. If you look on the front of the bill, you will see the United States Treasury Seal. On the top you will see the scales for the balance - a balanced budget. In the center you have a carpenter's T-square, a tool used for an even cut. Underneath is the Key to the United States Treasury. That's all pretty easy to figure out, but what is on the back of that dollar bill is something we should all know. If you turn the bill over, you will see two circles. Both circles, together, comprise the Great Seal of the United States. The First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal. It took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved. If you look at the left hand circle, you will see a Pyramid. Notice the face is lighted and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore the West or decided what we could do for Western Civilization. The Pyramid is uncapped, again signifying that we were not even close to being finished. Inside the capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything. "IN GOD WE TRUST" is on this currency. The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means "God has favored our undertaking." The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means "a new order has begun." At the base of the pyramid is the Roman Numeral for 1776. If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully, you will learn that it is on every National Cemetery in the United States. It is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National Cemetery and is the centerpiece of most hero's monuments. Slightly modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States and it is always visible whenever he speaks, yet no one knows what the symbols mean. The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons: first, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong and he is smart enough to soar above it. Secondly, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of England. Also, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own. At the top of that shield you have a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor. We were coming together as one nation. In the Eagle's beak you will read, "E PLURIBUS UNUM", meaning "one nation from many people." Above the Eagle you have thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. Again, we were coming together as one. Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows. They say that the number 13 is an unlucky number. This is almost a worldwide belief. You will usually never see a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor. But, think about this: 13 original colonies, 13 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 13 stripes on our flag, 13 steps on the Pyramid, 13 letters in the Latin above, 13 letters in "E PLURIBUS UNUM", 13 stars above the Eagle, 13 plumes of feathers on each span of the Eagle's wing, 13 bars on that shield, 13 leaves on the olive branch, 13 fruits, and if you look closely, 13 arrows. And for minorities: the 13th Amendment. Why don't we know this?" Your children don't know this and their history teachers don't know this. Too many veterans have given up too much to ever let the meaning fade. Many veterans remember coming home to an America that didn't care. Too many veterans never came home at all. Share this with everyone; what is on the back of the one dollar bill and what it stands for, because few others will!

You can order the census on inter-library loan. This is a great idea so you can look through the neighbors too...you'll probably find many of the families your family married into.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to say a giant THANK YOU to all of you for your advice about my quick visit to Steubenville on Friday. I had an excellent time! Sandy Day was not in, but the woman who helped me was wonderful. My mom and I got a lot of information from the library and then found every grave we needed in the two cemeteries that our ancestors are buried in! We need another day to hit the courthouse, but at least we know where things are now. Thanks so much! Candice Buchanan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi, Is there anyone who has the Index for the 1900 Jefferson County, Ohio, census? I'm looking for information on the the HOUSER/HAUSER family. They lived in Salem Township, 1830-1880, and in Steubenville in 1880, according to the censuses of those years. But I'm trying to find info about them in later years. Thanks so much!
