Hello Mary, That Brashear Family History Vol. 1, on pg. 209 mentions, "Move to Fairfax Co., VA. - Shortly after the sheriff's sale, Robert and Charity (Brashear) moved to Fairfax Co., VA where their dau. Ann "Nancy" Brashear, married Moses Ball, and where their son, Asa, was born in 1745." If you are descended from this same family, I strongly recommend you consider purchasing a copy of this 320 pg. book from the author as it would document you back to the original Robert Brasseur who first appears in Virginia's records of 1636: Charles Brashear 5025 Old Cliffs Road San Diego, cA 92120-1153 e-mail: brashear@mail.sdsu.edu This is one of the rare genealogy books which are truly documented and includes a full everyname index. I've forgotten what I paid for it, as I ordered it at pre-publication price, and you would need to decide whether you wanted it in hardback or softcover. Good luck, Julia

Hi Pixie, Can share what little I have on the VEIRS. Let me know if it helps. I have more generations. Do not think I have any Brashears. Think my VEIRS where in Ohio, till mine made it to Illinois.

Looking for Halter & Royer from Schirrhoffen, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France that came to Jefferson Co., OH. Thank you. Francine Conn Halter

I would see if the Puskarich Public Library in Cadiz Ohio has anything. They do have a scrapebook on the Hannah coal mines. It's not very big, but it might be a start and the lady's there are very helpful. The library # (740) 942-2623. Becky

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows any family history on Richard ROE? I know he has taken the enormous task of copying the census. I have the ROE name in my family tree, and thought perhaps he could be a relative as well. Thanks for any help Barb

My uncles and great-uncles worked in these coal mines in the same area too, so I am also interested in the names and any other information that anyone has about the mines in the Adena area and anywhere else around there, my relatives live(d) in Dillonvale, Smithfield and other nearby towns. I am also interested in the history of the area. Thanks in advance for any help. I am researching the surnames FISHER, HEATON, EDWARDS, BARKHURST Judie

I'm seeking information on a coal mine accident that killed my grandfather William James BERTRAM around 22Aug. 1940 near Bloomfield in Jefferson Co. Where could I write to obtain such information. Thanks for your help. Romayne

Can't help with Frankie or Willie...but: Francis and Marion are male (one uncle, one grandfather) Frances and Marian are female (both are aunts) My name, Kay (also spelled Kaye, Cay) are interchangeable in gender as I've met all spellings listed both male and female. My sister is Kim and the male head of household, next door to us is Kim. There are more than these, but in my family I am satisfied with knowing who they are.

Hello Jan, The 1st Volume of 7 by Charles Brashear does not contain the Ohio Valley Brashears - only the early arrivals in MD 1600's and into the 1700's. But my person line includes Rebecca Veirs, d/o Brice Veirs who married in 1801 to Joseph Brashear. They lived in Steubenville, OH until his mysterious disappearance around 1832. Hope this helps somewhat, Julia

Alexander Ager and Susan Bishop are my ancestors and that is pretty much all I had. Thank you very much for the information. I have to wait until I get home from work today to double check everything. I will get back with you later after I do.... Are you distantly related??? Do you by any chance have any documentation that I could get copies of for my files?? That would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much again, You have been a great help.

What do the initial "OGS" stand for and how would I get ahold of them to get a copy of the 1900 Census. Becky Thornton MrsBigOtis@AOL.com

Dear Researchers of Jefferson County, Ohio, In response to the theme of the male given name "Marion": General Francis Marion, the famed "Swamp Fox" of the Revolutionary War, who successfully utilized guerilla tactics against the British, inspired the name "Francis Marion" or possibly shortened to simply "Marion" in at least some of the naming choices for sons born years after that conflict. The "Dictionary of First Names" by Alfred J. Kolatch states that Marion is a variant form of Marian or Marcus. Marian, actually derived from Mary, can be used for either a male or female. Marcus was created from the Latin name for Mars, the god of War. Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

My great grandmother's brother was also named Francis Marion Heaton. (1843-1908) He married Ann Colston Meredith, they lived in Jefferson Co.--probably in Emerson, where he died. Judie

Seeking names & history of coal mines in Adena and Dillonvale area. Most of those mentioned seem to be in the central or northern parts of the county - but then my geography isn't too great. Mainly interested in the Hanna Coal Co mines. K.R. Schafer
