Springfield Township is still in Jefferson County. Fox Township (Mechanicstown and Wattsville)could have been one of the townships that formed part of Carroll County but I'm not sure.

Someone answered a query about a place to get blank census forms. A website address was given, but I failed to get it. Would appreciate have the address for future use. Doyle

Hi Jan, When you have time, would you look for the marriage of Oliver Waller to Mary Ann ___ or Matilda ___ about 1880 ? Thank you, Kathy -----Original Message----- From: Janice G.

Hi! Saw your great offer for lookups and thought I'd take you up on it. Index to Early Marriages of Jeffco-John Cooper to Elizabeth Vantilburgh in 1817, Samuel Vantilburgh to Maria Emmons sometime around 1800, and George Johnston to Mary Allen around 1815-20. Wash Cty Marriages-John Mooney to Mary McVay (or anyone else...the line's a bit confused here) about 1810. Steubenville Deaths-1875-John Cooper and 1876-George Johnston. Thanks so much for all your help and for being so unselfish of your time. email me at Jkkolb@aol.com. thanks again. jan

That's funny I got an e-mail from Opal Conn that says Charles Beall and Sophia Duvall are on page 12 of Early Marriages of Jefferson County Ohio. Which is right??

I'm sorry. I don't know if I already answered this request or not. But anyway, the answer is not no Beall or Sophia Duvall in Early Jeffco Marriages. Jan

Hi Sandra, Sorry no Joseph Smith in Washington county book. I have strange Christmas lists too. Last year I told God all I really wanted for Christmas was for a woodpecker to come to my suet feeder. The day after Christmas one appeared. I'm sure that if were at home on Christmas day he was there then too. Keep asking for Joseph Smith. Maybe he will show up on your suet feeder.;-) Jan

Also Alan Eckert's book "The Frontiersman" is an excellent well researched book for background on the settling of Ohio Valley. I got my copies of "History of the Upper Ohio Valley, Vols. 1,2 through a used book dealer that specializes old county history books. Cost about $140 though. I can come up with the name if anyone wants it. She is located in Washington County, PA near Pittsburgh. Jan

Coud you please see if, perhaps, Joseph Smith and Rosanna ? were married in Pa in the late 1700s? If so, you will have given me my best Christmas present! Sandra

You can get a township map for, I think, $1.50 , at the courthouse in Steubenville. I picked mine up, but I'm sure they'd mail it to you with the correct postage and map cost. ---------- > From: Roberta L.

Springfield Township is on the Carroll County border in Jefferson County. It starts on the Northern edge of East Springfield and includes Amsterdam and I believe some of Bergholz. I grew up there!

I don't see any connection. I will keep on file.

Looking for info on George Wise listed in the 1830 census as living in Springfield Township.-- Mitch Wise

Can someone please tell me which Townships in Jeff. County was given to Carroll County when it formed. Is Springfield Twp. one of them?? Mitch Wise

Hi Kay, Another book, history of Ohio R. is "That Dark and Bloody River" Eckert. It is unbelievable what those early settlers went through during the 1700's. I think this time in history should be studied more thoroughly in schools, so people apprecate what suffering brought us this wonderful country and life we have now. This book is avail through interlibrary loan.

We just received the last Will and Testament of Jessie Davidson in which she names several family members: Grace LINN of Canton, OH, Edith COOPER of Toronto, OH, Hattie GRAHAM, Ron HALES, Grace Linn's husband Ron, Thelma DAVIDSON NELSON, Mandane DAVIDSON, Great Grandmother Mary DAVIDSON, Marian WOOD, Gladys HURT and her husband Roy Hurt, Ada JACKMAN, R?? JACKMAN, Wilma KOEHLER, Ethel DAVIDSON, Dorothy DAVIDSON WECKESSER, Sadie DAVIDSON, Margaret and Mary MACKEY of Steubenville, Dorothy HOLYDEN (writing is not clear on spelling of name), Elizabeth (writing not clear, could be Schook, Schenk... the "Sch" is quite clear), Florence daughter of Nellie Stanley of Wooster, OH, Clara Grace. I am entering the specifics for the next name because the item mentioned is also referred to in our Family History Poem: "Dean Davidson my grandfather clock which is always to remain in the Davidson family. Also to Dean Davidson the smaller mirror in mahogany frame that he gave to me." Gene, wife of Dean Davidson. The Will was dated 12/10/42. Knowing the dates of some of these individuals I can attest that the date would be interpreted as December 10, 1942. The witnesses for this Will were Ruby Goodenau, Mabel Van La?n, R.Z. Cope. I do not have the Will transcribed yet, but will do so in due time. If anyone has a Davidson connection to any of the above people, I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Anther item we received is a Probate Court record for Cora A. Davidson who lists her widower as George E. Davidson, 74 years old and children: Ethel M. Davidson of Canton, age 52 John W. Davidson of Canton, age 50 Harold M. Davidson of Steubenville, age 40 Harry R. Davidson of Canton, age 47 If anyone has a Davidson connection to these folks, I would love to hear from you. At this time I am not sure of the connection to our family, but the coincidence of the name of Ethel in both this document and the Will of Jessie Davidson makes me a bit curious. Thank you for your time, Kay Davidson
