Can anyone tell advise me, I want to send to the Nat'l Archives for my g-g-grandfather's military records from his service in the Mexican War 1836. He was from Jefferson Co. Oh. He also served in the Civil War, and received a Pension from that war Was it possible to receive two pensions from two different wars? I have the NATF 80 form, and after reading it I am a little confused, can a person get copies of military records from the Mexican War, if so should I just request for "Military" records only, and not for the "Pension"? Thank you Barbara

I don't know if this is of any interest to those of you researching steamship lines but I just came across a note I made in 1987 when interviewing my mother (b1909, Hammondsville, Jefferson County). She mentioned that the IDDINGS farm used to belong to the COLLINS of the Collins Steamship Line on the Ohio River. To get to the Iddings farm you take Rte. 213 off Rte 7 toward Hammondsville. (That's the intersection with the rest stop) Rte. 213 runs along Yellow Creek. Just before you cross the railroad tracks and pass the brickyard, the farm is to your right on the creek bottom. The house is an old farm house and sits close to the road with the fields running back to the creek. I don't know who owns it now. Janice

I have a Warrenton Ohio Jefferson County. variant Names: Warren, Warren Town, Warrentown Just north of Tiltonsville. go to this web site for a map <A HREF="http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html">USGS Mapping Information: GNIS United States and Territories Data Base Query Form</A> Vicky sutton

Just found the 1895 Jefferson County map and aerial picture leads me to believe that someone could elope by crossing the Ohio, at least on horseback before modern tech changed the river banks. This map says Warrentown, my Catherine BEALL was supposed to be from Warren. Does anyone know what Warrentown is called today? If you crossed the Ohio at Warren what major city/ county would you be in ~ 1830? Thanks in advance. Linda

Hi I have been reading with great interest your post on the Steamboats. My gg- Grandfather William CLOW and his brother-in-law Henry CONANT were boat pilots. They lived in Warrenton (a few miles south of Steubenville) for many years (1870-1890 approx.) Williams' son, David Haines CLOW had a License with the Steamboat Inspection Service originaly issued before 1906 (not sure where), then reissued 1919 by Point Pleasant WV. (Wheeling) Would these books of yours contain anything about pilots and this inspection service. And If any one has any other info on these fellows I would love the hear from you.

Thank you for the map. As I read and think about the towns in our discussions of the lumber, mining etc industries, I wondered where they were all located in relationship to Steubenville. Your map has given me new insight. Really appreciate it.

Hi, The coal mining discussions have been great. I am looking for information about Adena. My great grandmother, Margaret Keschkes was born here Jan. 1907 and I have been unable to find any record. I was wondering with all the discussion lately if there are any books I should be looking that have proved helpful to others. I understand my great great grandfather was also a coal miner in the area, any ideas which mines would be in close proximity to Adena? Also, I'm looking for a map closer to 1907, any suggestions on any of above would be greatly appreciated. Gina Hinds HINDS1@prodigy.net

Dear Researchers of Jefferson County, Ohio, Charity CRITSER married John MCCULLOUGH, 27 Dec 1825, in Jefferson County, Ohio. In an earlier document, when Charity CRITSER was single, she was recorded as living in Steubenville, Ohio. I would like to correspond with any "MCCULLOUGH" researchers, to discuss where they lived after 1825. Thanks! Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

Dear Members of the Jefferson County, Ohio Mailing List, Including Thomas M. Bay, Bobbie Reihsen and Claire Sutton, The page of Bacon Ridge Cemetery information I have [amazing what you can do with one page!] has the following ALLEN burials: Aron 1850 age 79. wife Mary 1845 age 62 Sarah 1812 age 32 wife of John P. ALLEN James 1843 age 10 son of Moses and Elizabeth [stone buried in ground] Martha ? wife of John ALLEN James 1830 age 74 Next, let us look at whether Thomas BAY was in fact buried in Bacon Ridge Cemetery, or whether he was only mentioned as having been a founding member of the Presbyterian Church which was located next to the Bacon Ridge Cemetery but was not buried in the Bacon Ridge Cemetery. If you followed that last sentence, you're doing better than I! The 1964 description of Bacon Ridge Cemetery as found in Esther Powell's book, "Tombstone Inscriptions and Family Records of Jefferson County, Ohio" is as follows: "This cemetery is on County Road 59, west of Shane. It is a large, very old cemetery in very bad condition, with high weeds and briars, fallen stones and many badly sunken graves. Some of the stones are stacked in heaps and some graves marked with field stones. A mining project is close by. "A Presbyterian Church was organized here by Reverend George SCOTT. The first pastor was Reverend William MCMILLEN. The first church [building] was replaced in 1820. "First members included Arthur LATIMER, John P. MCMILLEN, Stephen COE, Thomas BAY, Calvin MOOREHEAD, Aaron ALLAN and Andrew DIXON. "Copied August 1964, assisted by grandson Richard HETRICK. "Notice: Many of THE ABOVE STONES [emphasis mine], discarded in heaps, probably will soon be gone. Does anyone care?" Even though the name "Thomas BAY" was not included in the listing of names on grave markers, below the introductory paragraph, and therefore was not in the Index or Supplemental Index to the book, nevertheless, the fact that compiler Esther Powell referred to "THE ABOVE STONES" immediately after she gave the names of some of the first members of the Presbyterian Church at Bacon Ridge, led me to assume that Ms. Powell found said names on the grave stones that had been stacked in heaps. One researcher mentioned that there were actually TWO Bacon Ridge Cemeteries, the one described by Esther Powell and another, older one nearby which was not included in the Powell book. Another factor to keep in mind is the strip mining operation which was conducted in the Bacon Ridge area. I have the 1995 map of Jefferson County produced by the DeLorme Company, and the words "Strip Mines" are printed along Bacon Ridge Road. Whether the devastation has increased since 1964 when Ms. Powell visited Bacon Ridge would have to assessed by someone actually going there and taking a look, in this ominous year of 1999. Randal W. Cooper, Member of the Computer Assisted Genealogy Group of Cleveland, Ohio <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

I copied these headstones at Bacon Ridge in the middle 1980's, sorry they are all I copied. At the time, strip mining was going on around the cemetery, but it was mowed and the pile of stones where still there.

Since I live in Dillonvale, I thought I would respond with what I know........ It was originally known as Annadelphia until 1889 when the name changed to Dillon after the name of an official of the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad. The town's name was later changed to the current title Dillonvale. Railroaders have often referred to the town as Pine Valley, for the depot located near the old roundhouse. This info was taken from a cookbook our local church published a few years ago, I hope this helps some.

Hi, Thank you for checking on the Allens in Jefferson County. Could I ask you or anyone who might know in our search group list, for one more check? Our John THOMPSON married Maria ROSS on 2 June 1827 in Steubenville, Jefferson Co PA. I would presume she was from that area also. Is there any way to find out about the Ross families that might be her parents? She has been very elusive and I just cannot find any trace of her. I think she would have been born about 1806-8. Thank you so much for any help, from anyone out there. I am getting pretty desperate to find her.
