Hi, I'm new to the list and wanted to post my surname of interest. My GEORGEs actually lived in Washington County, PA and Carroll County, OH, but a number of aunts and uncles moved to Jefferson County. I'm hoping I might find someone on this list who can fill in some of the holes in my George research. I'm especially looking for information on Mitchell R. GEORGE who was born in Carroll Co. and moved to Jefferson Co., dying there around 1867. His son Lemuel C. continued to live in Jefferson Co, while his sons Robert M. and John A. moved back to Carroll Co. (I believe Mitchell is the brother of my gg- grandfather, Hamilton George.) Any one working on the George family? Diane

Hello Jean and Karen, In reference to my query on Jacob Naragong and land given to him for his services in the War of 1812. Thanks for the reference to the URL for the Buraue of Land Management: I tried this, but it seems to be telling me that their information starts with 1820. I need information on land acquired in 1813 probably. I do not have the range, towship or section number. I just know land was received from information on a pension file. Anymore ideas? Thanks Nicky

Hello, Can anyone tell me how to go about obtaining land record information in a short amount of time? Jacob NARAGONG was awarded some land for his service in the War of 1812. He entered the Navy under Commodore Perry and served under Capt. Thomas Latta and Col. John Andrews from Jefferson County in Dec. 1812 and was honorably discharge six months later for frost bite. I would like to know where this land is located. I believe it may currently be in Harrison County, but Harrison was apart of Jefferson at that time. Would the information be at the Steubenville Land Office, or where else would I search, and what is the best way to go about it? Thanks Nicky Eickerman Vancouver, Wa.

I am looking for information on any Irish GREENWOODS or MCCRORYs living in Jefferson Co., OH in the early-mid 1800's. We have so many mysteries to solve that this may be the only way. My Joseph GREENWOOD emigrated to the US from Ireland in late1845 according to application for citizenship. He ended up in Steubenville, Jefferson County, Ohio from then until about 1853 when he moved to Iowa where he spent the rest of his life. He moved with Judge WILSON, a prominent lawyer, to Iowa. He may have been a bonded servant living with Judge WILSON during the time he spent in Steubenville as no records show up in his name. He is living in the same house with Judge Wilson after arriving in Iowa for the first year according to a city directory. Joseph was b. Feb 1823 and appears to have had a brother AND a cousin, both named Hugh GREENWOOD and both b. abt 1828. Other siblings may have come too but so far I haven't been able to find any. Joseph and both Hughs are buried in Union Cemetery in Steubenville. All of their bodies were brought to this cemetery from out of state, but records of origin are lost so we do not know where the two Hughs were brought from. Joseph was married for nearly 50 years in Iowa, and his wife is buried there, but his body was brought back to Ohio for burial beside a woman named Lillie MCCRORY b.1839-40(married to Thomas B. Taylor) who was also from Ireland and has a definite link to Joseph, possibly a niece or a ward of his. Joseph's funeral was held in her home prior to burial. One of the Hughs is also buried beside him. I feel there must have been a pact made between the three of them to be buried together. I would like to talk to anyone who has information on Irish GREENWOODs or MCCRORYs who emigrated around the 1840-1850 time frame. I have other information to share on these families. I am sorry for such a long posting, but it is a long story!! Thanks. Karla staudt@cptelco.net

I'm looking for information on William and Jennie Lockhart who, in 1920, lived in Wellsville, Columbiana Co., Ohio., to find out if there is any connection to the McClain family of Jefferson Co., Ohio. David C. McClain dmcclain@bbc.edu

Hi, Does anybody know if an "Estate Settlement" in 1835 would be in the Probate Court or the Court of Common Pleas? I am looking for the info on Philip Saltsman. I have seen it referred to in someone else's research but need a copy for myself as it lists Philip's children and I'd like proof of them. Thanks, Janice

Contributed to the Jeffeson CO. Archives by Linda Waters. Thanks, Linda This is from "Genealogical Selections from the Steubenville Weekly Gazette 1888" compiled by Leila S. Francy. I will type as written. Date says Friday, March 9, 1888 at top of page and before the obit it says Tuesday, right after the obit it says Friday, June 8, 1888 OBITUARY--- Wm. SALTSMAN The funeral of the late Wm. Saltsman, of Ross township, whose death was chronicled in this paper last week, took place from his late residence on Friday at 9 a.m., the funeral being very largely attended...the remains laid to rest in the old family burying ground at the Pine Grove church yard. The pall bearers were John K. Saltsman, Jeff. Saltsman, Isaac Saltsman, Joshua Saltsman, Martin Saltsman, Jr., AND Martin Saltsman. The deceased was born on March 7, 1814 in Ross Township on the farm on which he has always resided. He was married to Margaret E. White, Jan. 28, 1846 who bore him five children, of whom only one, J.B. Saltsman survives, the mother having also died some years since. Mr. Saltsman was married to his second wife Celia Graham, on Feb. 2Feb.1887 who survives him...a constant Christian life has allowed his life to shine that others seeing his good works would follow Christ. After a short illness he passed peacefully away on the 22nd inst., aged 74 years, 2 months and 15 days... -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Researching HUBBARD,LANAGHAN,JAMES,MENZEL,HAMROCK,GEARY, My Family Tree http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/1261/family/myfamily.htm Jefferson Co.

Hi Helen, You are still coming through on the list. There have been posts lately though so don't know why you haven't received them.

Hello, An 1899 Challenge to all Educators or descendants of Teachers Just added a 1899 EXAM FOR TEACHING POSITIONS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, OH from the Steubenville Weekley Herald-Star, Friday, Mar. 24, 1899, pg 3. You'll notice some things never change - even after 100 years have passed. They are Queries Propounded at the Jefferson County Teachers' Examination on Saturday, March 18, 1899 which you can view at: Jefferson County Chapter, OGS http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohjefogs Click on "DATA" in the navigation cell on the left which will take you to the webpage where this 1899 Exam is listed. Warning! Rootsweb seems very slow loading today - might be the bad weather where Brian Leverage/Rootsweb lives in the CA mountains requiring you to see this article at a later date. Just across the Ohio River in snowy WV, Julia fkrutill@weir.net

This also might be of some use for research. There is a ships list digest that I have been monitoring for the last year and have found some useful information. TheShipsList-D@rootsweb.com -- Bill William L. Engelke El Toro, California wlengel@deltanet.com

That would be a great idea, I am currently trying to track William AGER coming over from Ireland in 1811 & am running into a brick wall. Becky Thornton MrsBigOtis@AOL.com
