I have two of my Edwards line (sisters) who married Smith brothers, probably around the 11830's--can't remember off hand--but it was in Jefferson County. the father of the sisters was Azariah Edwards. ?? Judie

Thank you JJ for all the data on the Cassell family. I'll add that to Catherine's side. Did you get my e-mail with the attachment of Philip's data? And I also had a note regarding Philip's parents and siblings in Washington Co., Pa. Pat

I'm still trying to get information on James C. SMITH, born 1790-1800, OH he married Anne Green, born 1790-1800, OH. I think he spent most if not all of his life in Jefferson County, Ohio. I'm not sure about Anne. Any help will be appreciated. Ron Smith

Jane I think you are right.........it seems we did pass our information to each other a few months ago. But here is what I have just in case. I have a Charles W. ROE who married Charlotte A. SIVARD 12 Dec. 1879 Clement J. ROE who married a Kate (or Katherine) SIVARD about 4 Oct. 1895 >From an old newspaper article: Evert ROE funeral in East Liverpool 23 Apr 1914. C.W. ROE parents and gradfather was James SIVARD. Evert ROE was born in Rush Run and died there. The information I sent about the BUCEY/BUCY's was taken from the book 20th Century History Jefferson Co. The Margaret A. ROE who married the BUCEY was a sister of my g-g-grandfather Ebenezer ROE. Barb

Hi -- I have a Philip J. SALTSMANwhose father was Jacob and supposedly Jacob married an "Indian Woman". Can anyone find a connection of this family to that of William / Martin Saltsman. Philip J. Saltsman b Apr 3, 1812 in OH and married Elizabeth BUYHER. They were married in Warrick County, Indiana in 1847. Thank you for any help. Suzanne

Hello All, Here's a site which give some news regarding Jefferson County, OH. http://www.weir.net/JeffersonCountyNews/ Thought those from afar might want to see what is going on - in the "olde stomping grounds" of their ancestors. Julia

This may not be a mispelling, just the personal"interpretation " of the name Serepta. We can't assume that, because something is not spelled in the usual way, it is mispelled by a census taker, etc. I've seen many, many very strange spelllings that were the actual spelling of that particular person's name. ---------- > From: Janice G.

Randal, Thanks for clearing up "Sarpta." I agree it must be misspelling. Serepta certainly sounds better. Janice

Dear Sandra Ferguson and the Balance of Jefferson County, Ohio List Members, A feminine given name of "Sarpta" was posted, with a request for more information on the name. "Sarpta" was almost certainly a misspelling of "Serepta" [pronounced Suh-REPP-tuh]. The feminine given name "Serepta" was an Old English form of "Serena", meaning "peaceful". Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio
