Hello all, Nathaniel DeVault is reported to have been born on May 27, 1806 in Green Twp, Jefferson Co. OH and died on April 5, 1877 in Farmington, OH. Can someone do a lookup to see if his birth is listed and who his parents were? Any help appreciated. Carole

Hi to all, I have a letter addressed to a family member dated 8 Mar 1920 all I have is the P.O. box number. Is there a way I would be able to find out who had box 226, Toronto, Ohio at that time. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sharon Pletz Canada

Butler; Proofreader needed ==== CENSUS-ANNOUNCE Mailing List ==== Homepage URL is http://www.rootsweb.com/~census

Robert Beckwith was first found in the census in 1850 with wife Elenor Jane Nile bn 1832 d1912 , d/o John and Jane (Starkey) Nile of Jefferson Co. OH. Robert was bn @1812 and died 12-13-1889 in Salineville, OH. He had been a farmer and a miner by trade. His death record states that he was bn in Salineville, yet I can find no trace of his parentage or his existence there before 1848. There is a marriage record for a Robert and Nancy (McCoy) Beckwith in Columbiana Co. and I have contradicting dates, one being 1843 and the other being 1853. I do not know anything about this Nancy except she is buried in Columbiana Co. Might she be a first wife? Might she be a stepmother? Robert and Elenor had the following children: 1. John M. bn 11-18-1849 (a mystery here..John married Emma Sanderson in 1887, but apparently they divorced as she was also the wife of his brother, William and John had a John Jr. bn & d 5-15-1897, but his 2nd wife is unknown. 2. Matilda Jane "Tilly" bn 1853 d 1947 never married 3. Robert Jr. bn 2-13-1856 d. 8-13-1873 4. William "Wid" bn 12-1859 mar Ada "Emma" Anderson who was bn 1868 in Wintersville, Jeff Co OH d/o Richard Sanderson and Emily Fisher. They had 2 sons and divorced @ the turn of the century and she married her 3rd husband, Ross Manning and Had a son, Ross bn 1903 and a Daughter, Ida Jane bn 1906. Ross Jr married and had a son named Ted and a daughter Leona. Leona married a man last name of Young. Family has said that Leona is still alive, but I have not found her. Ida married George "Buck" Fernavol and they had a daughter named Olive. In 1944 Buck and Ida lived in Greensboro, NC William died after the divorce in a drowning accident. The year and place of his death is unknown. Family has it that he died after slipping in a mining reservoir and drowning. He and Emma had two son's. 1. Robert bn 1890 who married Sarah Wolf, and is the forefather of the Beckwith's who still live in Columbiana Co , OH (E. Liverpool). 2. George was bn 1892 and married first Florence Beatrice Tyrrell, d/o Noble Miles and Edith (Beam) Tyrrell who settled in Muskegon, Muskegon Co MI. Here is where George and Florence were married in 1920. They were the parents of my father, Donald Edwin Beckwith 1933-1999. George had a 2nd marriage to Mrs. Margaret Miller, and he and Margaret are buried in Manistee, MI. 5. Frank bn 1-29-1864 Salineville, d 4-11-1944 mar Ida Strauss and had atleast 3 children, 1. Roy bn 10-20-1898 mar Georgia Brown. no children. 2 Mary bn 1890 d 1985. 3. Earnest bn 1910 d 1914 6. Elmira Jane bn 1865 mar Robert Anderson and had son Charles. Charles mar. a Goddard and they had a daughter, Martha who married a Boyd. Martha still lives in Salineville and is the owner of the original Nile farm. 7. Charles bn 1871-1952 never married 8. Norman bn 1874-1952 never married There was an Enoch Beckwith listed in the naturalizations of Columbiana Co. OH. He came from England in June of 1879 and was naturalized at the age of 29 on 1-2-1885. No one knows how he fits in to the Beckwith family or even if he does. So if anyone has an Enoch, let me know. Jane Starkey was the d/o of Levi and Rebecca Merrick. I would appreciate it if someone would send me the entire genealogy of Levi, and anything they have on the Merrick family. Also I am looking for someone name of Sue/Susan Kimball/Lloyd. (Susan, please e-mail me if you get this. We may have connecting cousins through your Kimball line.) Warm Regards, June

Pam, <I've been trying to find information on the Livingston family of Island Creek 1809-1820 for sometime, and am now more interested than ever. I've checked the land records at the GLO/BLM site for OH, but can't seem to find my family. > You sound like a beginner to genealogy. May I suggest getting a "How to Book" at your local library or book store. Or there is also a series of How Tos on line at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/ If you are searching for land deeds - you'll have to work with or at the courthouses in the county where your ancestors lived. I will warn you that these Ohio Valley people seem to cross that Ohio River regularly and leave their paper trail in 3 different states. (The Gen Web will provide you all the mailing addresses and phone numbers of these courthouses & libraries.) And there's nothing like visiting and researching on site, - but sometimes you will have do this by snail mail from your home. You should follow suggestions written in the how-to-book on letter writing for successful research by mail. This takes time - but well worth the effort. The hunt is great fun. Also make sure you obtain every census available while your ancestors were alive. These records will give provide you clues for your research - even provides information on renting or land ownership (a reminder to look for deeds) and perhaps an aged parent providing a new generation. Don't overlook the siblings and maternal lines. Make sure you collect information on them. These individuals often provide documents and connections when your direct-line paper trail ends.

Julia, Thank you for providing this information. I've been trying to find information on the Livingston family of Island Creek 1809-1820 for sometime, and am now more interested than ever.

JEFFERSON CO., OH has many politicians and prominent citizens with roots in our county. The 28th U. S. President, Woodrow WILSON, and Abraham LINCOLN's Secretary of War - Edwin M. STANTON, to name a just a couple. But how many of you realize that our past 1st Lady, Barbara PIERCE BUSH is another individual to add to this list with a local Revolutionary Ancestor as well? She has two sets of 4th great grandparents who purchased adjoining land in Island Creek Twp., Jefferson Co., OH in 1799. One set of ancestors are Mose COE & wife, Sarah HOWELL who owned land in both Washington Co., PA & Island Creek, Jefferson Co., OH. Their known children mentioned in Mose's 1813 will - include Benjamin, Moses, Phillip, Daniel, Esther, Jennet, Mary and Sarah. An interesting line in his will hints at problems with his son-in-law and states, "bequeathed to Esther's children . . .. . . with her having the use of it so that Daniel CRAINE can not get any of it". Moses and Sarah spent their later years in the homes of their married children. And more importantly, Mose COE is listed in the Centennial Edition DAR Patriots Index -as an Ensign in the PA Line. Other COE Veterans of Western PA listed include Benj., Ebenezer, & Stephen. The "20th Century History of Steubenville and Jefferson Co., OH" mentions a Benjamin COE who tenderly cared for a wounded Confederate Soldier, by the name of W. G. PAGE during MORGAN's raid through Jefferson Co. in the summer of 1863. After the soldier recovered under Benjamin's care, he took the oath of allegiance for the North. Barbara's other early set of pioneer ancestors in Jefferson Co., OH were Joseph & Rebecca GLADDEN. Joseph died in 1833 and is buried at Two Ridge Cemetery. This cemetery is just west of Wintersville, near junction of St. Rd 43 and 646. We know that Rebecca outlived him as she is mentioned in his 1833 will, and assume she is buried in an unmarked grave next to her husband, Joseph. Their children - Madison, Joseph, the Rev. Aaron, William, Solomon, David, John, Elizabeth w/o Samuel ADAMS, Hannah CUNNINGHAM, Mary COE, Drusilla CASSELLI, and Lodema are all named in Joseph GLADDEN's will. The children and ancestors of Barbara BUSH's from these two families were Mary GLADDEN born in Jeff. Co., OH in 1804, and Daniel COE born Wash. Co., PA in 1801. Daniel followed the old custom of marrying the girl next door in Island Creek! And soon after their marriage in 1822, they moved to Allen Twp., Union Co., OH where they lived out their years. Daniel died in 1851 at the young age of 50, and Mary out living him by 42 years and passing over in 1893 at the age of 89. The lineage to Barbara PIERCE BUSH: are - Daniel & Mary COE's daughter, Sarah who married John W. ROBINSON. Sarah & John's son, James E. ROBINSON married Lulu FLICKINGER.

This cemetery is just west of Wintersville, near junction of St. Rd 43 and 646. We know that Rebecca outlived him as she is mentioned in his 1833 will, and assume she is buried in an unmarked grave next to her husband, Joseph. Their children - Madison, Joseph, the Rev. Aaron, William, Solomon, David, John, Elizabeth w/o Samuel ADAMS, Hannah CUNNINGHAM, Mary COE, Drusilla CASSELLI, and Lodema are all named in Joseph GLADDEN's will. The children and ancestors of Barbara BUSH's from these two families were Mary GLADDEN born in Jeff. Co., OH in 1804, and Daniel COE born Wash. Co., PA in 1801. Daniel followed the old custom of marrying the girl next door in Island Creek! And soon after their marriage in 1822, they moved to Allen Twp., Union Co., OH where they lived out their years. Daniel died in 1851 at the young age of 50, and Mary out living him by 42 years and passing over in 1893 at the age of 89. The lineage to Barbara PIERCE BUSH: are - Daniel & Mary COE's daughter, Sarah who married John W. ROBINSON. Sarah & John's son, James E. ROBINSON married Lulu FLICKINGER. James and Lulu's daughter, Pauline married Marvin PIERCE – who were the parents of Barbara PIERCE BUSH.

Has anyone had any experience finding marriage documents in England from the 17th century? I have located the following marriage record: Arthur Chambers b[achelo]r and Anne Jones s[pinste]r married Noveember 24, 1683. John Chambers, ffr. Does anyone know what the *ffr* stands for? Janice

I thought this was very cute and we could all use a little change...If you think you have hit a brick wall...TRY TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT...LOL Many many years ago when I was twenty three, I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be. This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her, And soon the two were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life. My daughter was my mother, for she was my father's wife. To complicate the matters worse, although it brought me joy. I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad. And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad. For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother To the widow's grown-up daughter Who, of course, was my step-mother. Father's wife then had a son, who kept them on the run. And he became my grandson, for he was my daughter's son. My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue. Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandma too. If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild. And every time I think of it, it simply drives me wild. For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw. As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!! --- Dayna Posey --- [email protected] --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.

I'm looking for Brownlees in Jefferson County. Nancy Maxwell m. John Brownlee in 1806 (Brooke County WV) and had three children: John Brownlee who I think m. Phoebe Prosser, James who I think m. Alvinira ?, and Nancy Brownlee who marries Henry Maxwell. They are all in Brooke County WV in 1850. John Brownlee dies in 1852 and Nancy Maxwell Brownlee files pension papers (War of 1812) stating her residence to be Jefferson County Ohio. I've found marriage records as follows in Jefferson County: Thomas Brownlee m. Mary McKim 1877 Rachael A. Brownlee m. Austin Robb 1867 Daniel Brownlee m. Annie Risden 1866 Sarah Brownlee m. George Deber 1871. James Brownlee m. Ann Lee 1857 THese are some but not all of the children of John Brownlee m. Phoebe - right ages to have been married at these dates. Looking for any information anyone may have. My Maxwell line, by the way, goes back to Henry and Agness Carson Maxwell who came to the US c. 1741 as children. THey had seven sons (Robert, Thomas, Samuel, Walter, John, James and Henry) and 48 grandchildren. Robert/Thomas/ James/Henry were c. 1800 settlers in eastern Ohio. Josette Maxwell Boone NC
