I know Jefferson County now is a minute part of what Jefferson County was in the early 1800's. In Canton, OH, there is a place, I think it's called Belden, that still makes bricks. Would this have any important information in the clay industry that is being discussed?

Janice, I can't really say that I am researching the Hammond family or Hammondsville. I am trying to tie together pieces of information from the family history poem with what I've learned is a today fact. 1. I have a copy of the 1870 Springfield Twp, Jeff. Co., map that has Wells on a piece of land north of the S. Davidson land that lies adjacent to the G. Hammond land. 2. I have directly linked Sarah Hammond, b. 1807 in E.S, Jeff. County, married John R. Morrison, (b. 1802 of Bald Eagle, Centre County, PA)in Jefferson County on Feb 24, 1825. 3. Abby Hammond married Leonard Leasure in Stark County, OH. 4. The family history poem states that Hammond, Wells and our William Davidson came from Washington County, PA to Jeff. County, OH 5. The book, History of the Upper Ohio Valley, Vol. 2 states that William and Samuel Davidson bought land in 1802 while living in Washington County. William moved his family to Jeff. County in 1806. (With him were his wife, Mary (Coil) Davidson and children Samuel and Elizabeth. So this is what I am working with, if it helps anyone that is great. If anyone can help me find the documentation to prove this, I would be more than very happy. A descendant of Mr. Hammond who came with Davidson and Wells still resides on the family farm today. That is all I have so far, Janice. Kay Janice G. Donley wrote: > > Was this Hammond related to the Thomas Hammond who founded Hammondsville, > Jefferson County, Ohio.

On your list is a SMITH, William. I am looking for SMITH, William H. + MAXWELL, Margaret son James Earl b.1890 son Roy daughter Daisy

Bobbie, Yes, they made bricks (fire bricks), but they also made sewer pipes and other clay products. I suspect anything that could be made from fire clay.

Was this Hammond related to the Thomas Hammond who founded Hammondsville, Jefferson County, Ohio. Reportedly he came to Ohio from Virginia in 1820 at about 20 years old. He purchased 3000 acres of land in Jefferson County in what later became Hammondsville, Ohio. Thomas Hammond died in 1867 in Hammondsville. Is anyone besides me researching Hammondsville? Janice

Hello Kay, Can't document that Davidson arrived with Wells and Hammond in 1806. I really haven't worked on any of these families, but perhaps another researcher may have run into some document or history that provides this information as many families traveled west together. Julia

Terri, I checked out the Coal Mining History page. You did a great job! Thanks, Janice

Terri, I just had a look at the coal mining page, and it looks great! Have to admit, though, that now I want to see what I can find about clay works (my ancestor's industry). I'll look through my photocopied stuff to see if there's enough to start such a page. These pages would have to do with clay works in the Toronto area. Perhaps others would have material from elsewhere in the county.

Enjoyed the coal mining - meanwhile, since I am in WY and have never been to OH, and my Benj Reed was a boat builder... I have a question, which I hope someone can answer. Where did the timbers for the shipbuilding come from? I can understand the whys of building here at the head of the Ohio River, but where did the timber come from? Was it milled locally? I read somewhere, they also made the flatboats that a family took down the Ohio, then used the lumber for building wagons and/or their homes when they reached their destination down river. Anyone??? Faith Keahey@cyberhighway.net

I used to live in the same area that 6 generations of my family had lived and had access to all kinds of information within a walk or short drive. But didn't do genealogy until I moved away.

Hi Terri and Karen, I just got finished enjoying reading about the coal mines and the towns and am impressed. It is very interesting and well done. Karen, I hope you do find more about the clay industry there. Was it brick making? This is the best county site I have encountered. Great work, ideas and cooperation. Thanks for all the effort and time. We all are enjoying it.
