Bob, Thank you for the information on the Civil War photos...my ancestors' were in the 52nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry from Jefferson Co., Ohio. I appreciate getting the addresses and phones numbers, and will write them. Barbara B.
Mitch, Thanks so much for responding! My ancestor's name was Edward Jackson BROWN from Jefferson Co. , Ohio. The other names were William BARCUS/BARKHURST and William ROE...they too were from Jefferson Co. I know that Brown & Barcus were still living in 1900, not sure about Roe. I've been searching for quite awhile for any photos, this really helps out. And, thank you for the website addresses! Thank You, Barb

I've written to the Military History Institute in Carlise, Pa. a few years ago, they didn't have any of my ancestors' at that time. I was wondering if anyone knew if the (or any) genealogy society may have any pictures of Civil War soldiers. Thank You Barbara

Does anybody have the proper citation for the 1850 Mortality Schedule. I want to use parts of it and when I requested permission from the Ohio Historical Society the librarian told me the original was housed at National Archives and I could use it if I cite it correctly by record group, etc. Can anyone help me out?

Do any of you know of families from New Brunswick or Nova Scotia that showed up in Jefferson, Belmont, Guernsey or nearby areas between 1800 and 1825? Possible names are HAMILTON, McCULLY, STOCKTON, HAYWARD/HOWARD, HOAR, ROACH or SCOTT, but there could be others. Sandy Wilbur Gresham, OR

I got this off another discussion group. I suppose we could all imagine the soldier one of our family writing this letter home at Christmas ....................... Happy Holidays...John & Linda Peterson, Ozona, Fl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charleston Dec 24 1861 Dear Mother and Father Tomorrow is Christmas, the day for turkey eating and Merry making and I hope you will have a good time and enjoy yourselves. I did have it all arranged that I was coming home to take my Christmas dinner with you, but as it is now impossible I will write you a letter instead. Congress has ordered all Regts. To be fitted up and Sedgewicke will be our Col. And Capt. Spencer our Lt Cl. There are several candidates for Major, but I think Capt. Bodine will get it. Captain Spencer as Provost Marshal had to Superintend the Shooting of a solder for disertion, a day or 2 since. He was blindfolded, made kneel on his coffin. The Captain gave the signal by waving his handkerchief, and in a moment the poor fellow was in another climate, He deserved his fate. Since I have been paid off, I have been boarding at the Kanawha House, the largest Hotel in the place. Am only going to try it a week, in order to see how victuals cooked in civilized style taste. Another one of our co. died a week or so since his name was Henry Hyan he was from Louisville, Ky The Captain is going to give the boys a fine Christmas dinner tomorrow. We have had the most beautiful Sunshiny weather imaginable for the last 2 weeks. Something like May weather. The nights are fine and Moonlight. Our boys have seized on all the liquor they could find in the town, and arrest every Solder without a pass and everyone, either with or without a pass after dark. So that the town has become in a measure quiet, and the ladies indulge in an afternoon promenade occasionally- The most of them are Strong "Secesh" The other day as two of them, finely dressed, were walking along, they has to pass directly under the fine Silk flag the Woodward Girls presented to us. One of them said " I'd rather die than pass under that flag!" So they waded through the mud, and took the other side of the street. The weather has changed today, now it is very cold trying to snow, and the wind howling like a hurricane, I am glad it is snowing for it doesn't look like Christmas unless it is Snowing or there is Snow on the ground To be in time. I will wish you now " A Happy New Year" and May you all live to see many of them. Mr.Folger, Mr Gibner, Mr Tounley and Mr Camenn came upon the last boat and brought up a large number of boxes for the boys, and fruit cake, pound cake plus other Christmas daintes are as plenty as blackberries in July. Pies are made here by the Darkys and sold for 10 cents apiece and washing is done by the same individuals for 5 cents apiece. I got papers here only a day and a half old from Cincinnati. The news in the last paper is very incouraging. Kitty has just made arrangements with a darky woman to have our cooking done. We are to take our rations to her house, and she will cook them, and set the table in the house and allow us to eat there for 25cents a week, each (there is 12 of us) Many of the residences here would compete favorably with those on Mount Auburn. Nearly all the owners however are "Secesh". In one of the deserted houses I got a splendid Beauraw, (is that spelt right!) With mirror attached 2 chairs and a wash stand and basin, for the Captains office, I haven't rec'd a letter from you for nearly 2 weeks . Give my respects to all inquiring friends. Frank

The following is an abstract from today's Sunday, 20th December 1998 Steubenville Herald Star. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TODAY'S SALUTES, Lights bring back memories: The lighting of holiday lights at the "old watering trough" on Market Street Hill has brought to mind nostalgic memories of stories told by my parents and their siblings; as told to children filled with wonder and overwhelming interest! "Twould be a half day's journey, from "farmland" Richmond to downtown Steubenville, by horse and buggy; a trip infrequently made, needless to say. My grandparents, and undoubtedly several children, were prepared with food and water as they endured the necessary slow mode of travel. The sight of the watering trough, for satisfying the thirst of the horses, was an unspeakable relief and delight. All the living beings took pleasure in "re-fueling" as they savored their brief rest period. A century or so has passed since the "almost forgotten" or "never known about" comfort station was a popular and appreciated accommodation for those country folk coming to the city! I trust that such a significant relic and landmark will continue to be cared for and preserved; a public service which our ancestors would most certainly sanction. Accordingly, an expression of gratitude is due to the appropriate city officials in promoting this act of noteworthy display (holiday lighting) and cause for warm reminiscing. Helen (Kearney) Bone, Steubenville ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please take a moment and imagine those Christmas lights twinkling and burning brightly this Holiday Season. Most of your Jefferson County, OH pioneer ancestors stopped at this landmark for a natural refreshment whenever they applied for a marriage license or land deed transaction at the county courthouse just down the street. (What would our ancestor think of today's replacement of a clear plastic bottle of designer water?) Having just reached my 50th year in 1998, I remember my father showing me this landmark in my youth. He an auto mechanic descended from three generations of blacksmiths from the lower part of Jefferson Co., OH and this landmark gave him the warmest memories of an all too important and forgotten lifestyle. Warmest thoughts for all those noble beasts who served our Ohio Valley pioneer ancestors, too. JEFFERSON COUNTY CHAPTER, OGS Julia A. Krutilla

Hello, I am new to this list, but I hope that someone can help. My wife's ggrandmother, ELIZABETH ALEXANDER POWELL was born in Stuebenville on 11 Sep 1838. Her father was John POWELL and her mother was either MARY BEAVAN (born in Wales) or MARY ALEXANDER of Steubenville. Clearing this discrepancy up would be most helpful. Elizabeth had 4 siblings, one of which is MARY (the oldest child of John Powell, born in Wales) and another may be WATKIN (probably born in Steubenville). A third may be JENNET (probably born in Wales). The fourth is not known. We have found a MARY buried in the ALEXANDER family plot in the Union Cemetery. The timing for a young Mary Alexander to be married, bear a child or two and pass away in 1843 exists, but I have not been able to confirm it. Family lore has the family immigrating to Steubenville in 1835, but whether the family included a mother named Mary Beavan Powell is not known. It could be that she died in Wales or enroute and John remarried---to a young Steubenville woman. If you can help, please contact me at <rmscharf@ocsnet.net> Thank you.
