Does anyone know how Dillonvale got its name or if any Dillons settled in Jefferson Co.? My Henry Dillon lived in Washington Co., Pa. in 1810 then moved to Harrison Co., Ohio and then on to Vinton but I know nothing about his antecedants. Possibly Dillonvale was named for some member of his family??? Thanx Mary Szy

But he had been cutting lumber on land he bought along the river for some time, and supplied all the ties for the Marietta branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad when it was first built, as well as mine props. All of this work was done, before the firm set up business on North 7th Street, just off Market, by contract, and I understand that that's the way lumber was supplied to many needs earlier in the century. Many farmers cut and sawed lumber during the winter months for regular users who would then air dry it until it was suitable for their purposes. I haven't seen much documentation of this kind of business in what I've read about the Ohio River Valley, but this is my recollection of conversations about the business with my grandfather when I was a teenager (late 1930's).

Dear Thomas M. Bay, and Jefferson County, Ohio Researchers, Thomas BAY is included in the list of those buried in the Bacon Ridge Cemetery, Ross Township, Jefferson County, Ohio. I received today a photocopy of the first page of Bacon Ridge Cemetery information from the book "Tombstone Inscriptions and Family Records of Jefferson County, Ohio", published by Esther Weygandt Powell. The page I received in the mail is the one that includes "CRITSER", and has surnames "ALLEN" to "MCLAVE". The surnames on the grave markers are listed alphabetically, with no "BAY" entries at all in the main list. But, up in the introductory paragraph to Bacon Ridge Cemetery is the following statement: "First members [of the original Presbyterian Church] 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, discarded in heaps, probably will soon be gone. Does anyone care?" There is a bit more information on this cemetery on the page I have. Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

To Faith Keahey and All Members of the Jefferson County, Ohio Mailing List, The question was raised as to where the timbers were obtained for the shipbuilding which was conducted at Steubenville, Ohio. I would imagine that the wood was taken from the immediate area and milled locally, since the Ohio lands were originally one vast blanket of forest. The first task the pioneers faced [after they succeeded in reaching their property] was to clear the land of trees so crops could be planted. The EARLY shipbuilding certainly had wood at hand, but I think your question was more directed to the latter days of shipbuilding on the Ohio River. As more settlers came, the primeval forest was cut back, but even then, the reason I think that timber could be procured readily is that the iron furnaces which operated in the Ohio River Valley not far away required a huge quantity of wood, and the iron industry was still flourishing into the 1870's. To get a better grasp of the amount of wood needed, we would need to know how many steamboats were actually being built at Steubenville, Ohio through the years. My search of the Lytle List has turned up thirteen [stet] documented steam vessels built at Steubenville between 1820 and 1854. In addition to these, there may have been some construction of rafts and smaller vessels which were not documented. NOTE: Since my original posting of the steamboat list, I was helped in the project by researcher Sandy Day, who kindly pointed out to me two vessels which I had missed. The corrected list of steamboats will be posted soon, and will supersede the first list. Anyone with additions or corrections to this rudimentary beginning, please join in. Again speaking of wood, a source of income for the landowners near the Ohio River was the selling of cut wood to the steamboat captains, for fueling their vessels. The nineteenth-century entrepreneurial wood-dealers would stack their cordwood at the river bank and hail their water-borne customers. Steamboats consumed a great deal of wood, and had to make stops now and then to take on wood. Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

Sorting through early messages, I noted reference to Bacon Ridge Cemetery. I'm wondering if there is a listing of those who may be buried there. I'm searching for Thomas Bay and wife, Charity (Bruce); Tom died in 1821. They had moved from Smith Twp., Washington County in 1802 or so. Some references include: 1803 - From "20th Century History of Steubenville and Jefferson County, Ohio", Doyle, 1910: Page 456 - Knox Twp. "On April 4, 1803, sixty four voters being present, an election was held...trustees...Thomas Bay (who was with Williamson at Gnadenhutten, and a squatter on Yellow Creek territory in 1785)...." 1804 - And Bacon Ridge Cemetery, Ross Twp., Jefferson County: First members (of a Presbyterian Church founded in 1804) ...Thomas Bay....

Hi LInda, If you have info on the Hammonds some of this might fit. It is all I have on the Hammonds. Thomas Hammond came to Ohio from Virginia in 1820 at 20 years of age. He had a son, Thomas G. Hammond, with whom he lived until his death in 1867 in Hammondsville. Thomas G. Hammond m. Emma Wallace and had two sons, William and Edward who moved to Wellsville with Thomas, Jr.'s widowed mother after the death of Thomas Sr. After their mother's death on January 2, 1871 William and Edward returned to Hammondsville and lived with the Wallace family (their maternal grandparents?) They stayed there for three years. In 1950 William Wallace Hammond lived in Indianapolis, Indiana where he was an attorney. His brother, resided in Cleveland, Ohio. He was 84 years old in March of 1950. This information is from the "Hammondsville 100th Anniversary" booklet printed in 1950. It will be on my website which I will hopefully launch Feb. 1st. Janice

Hi, I was more interested in the early days of boat/ship building since Benjamin Reed died 1833. Also that I had read someplace about the building of flatboats that were used by pioneers traveling down the OH to other parts of the frontier, and how these barges, if you will, were then used to make wagons, or even build homes upon arriving their destination. Here in Sheridan, WY, pine is taken from our mountains and taken to the local sawmill to be planed into 2 x 4's, then shipped all over. Then those of us who need 2 x 4's drive to Billings, MT where we can by the same 2 x 4's cheaper than we can here! Had to throw that in! Faith Keahey@cyberhighway.net

Sorry in my previous e-mail that was Thomas Hammond. Also wanted to add that parents of Thomas and Susannah were George and Elizabeth (Wells) Hammond. Have wondered for sometime if Wellsburg and Hammondsville were named for their ancestors. Linda

I have not done much research into Hammondsville, but am watching your conversation with interest as my 3rd gr grandmother Catherine (BEALL) PUMPHREY is believed to be the daughter of Susannah (HAMMOND) b.1787 died Sept 14,1856 Jefferson County Ohio. Susannah had a brother Thoomas 1796 who married Margaret Mc Donald. Thanks Linda

Hi Janice, I am researching the Calls and Russells from Hammondsville and Pine Grove Ridge. I have a picture of Hotel Lawrence in Hammondsville. It says on the picture," It had a railroad in front, train would stop there, pick people up, drop stuff off. Had a big ball room with dance floor there. Daughter Ella had the dances. (Ellie) Ellie's daughter Leona was not a 'home body' and ran around with Eva Russell. Ella kept boarders, cooked, baked, and did the laundry. Hattie (Call) didn't allow her children to be around the dances, she didn't allow Leroy & Larw.(sp) playing cards. ( She would just get rid of them.) One night the entire hotel burnt down. Emmy was no longer living at the time. (sometime after 1930 - before 1933) Barbershop in basement." Do you have any info or pictures of the Calls or Russells?Thanks, Leah Janice G.

Another thing you could look for! I know of cemeteries that have some Clay markers in them. Some are in the form of tree stumps.Also my grand parents used one for a planter in their yard, which my father still uses. It was from the early 1900`s. I do not where it came from. Dale
