We are looking to connect our Washington Adams with his proper parents and ancestors. Washington was born in 1811 in Ohio. He may have been the son of John Adams who was living in Jefferson County, Smithfield township in the 1820 census. Does anyone connect with this John Adams family? Thank you for your help. Perry Adams

Todd et al, Do anyone know if this was also true in Jefferson County, Ohio, in 1818? My Philip CARREL or CARROLL died intestate in 1813 leaving a widow and nine minor children. An Estate Administer was appointed by the Court of Common Pleas in 1814 who was Ephraim Cellars. The children appeared 5-years later also in Common Pleas Court in Steubenville, and those over 14 chose a James Torrance as legal Guardian. The under 14-years old children were appointed the same guardian by the same court. I cannot find the records of the probate of the Estateof Philip Carrel in Jefferson County, OH court records, or LDS microfilm of same. Was there an Orphan's Court in Jefferson County, Ohio, in 1813-1818?

These guardians were usually close male family members. the children over 14 got to chose their guardian.

I have the 1806 and 1810 tax records for Jeff. Co and no Goods appear. If you will send me some given names to go with the surnames I'll look them up in other counties.... I also have Ohio marriage records, but also need given names to so any lookups for them, too.(the only Good marriage to appear in the Jeff Co courthouse records 1798-1820 is Daniel Good, who married Martha Williams July 26, 1804.)

Hello, Jefferson Co. researchers Thank you for the responses on "Early Jefferson Co Townships". I discovered that my GOOD ancestors that married in Jefferson and Muskingum 1804-1806 were living in the same area, just the counties were being formed around them and boundaries changed. Now I have to figure which Townships they were living in at the time of their marriages. I am researching the following families - GOOD, Williams, Whitten, Dunlap, Cantwell, Carr, Stocker families of Early, prior to 1810 - , Jefferson, Muskingum, Tuscarawas, Counties. Sincerely, Bill Good

Follow the link below for a transcription of Doyle's History of Steubenville and Jefferson County, 1910, and look for Jefferson County Townships by Doyle. Doyle gives the early history of each township in great detail. http://www.garlock-elliott.org/places/index.html For a current township map try this site http://www.alliance2000.org/New%20Site/Profile/Maps/countymap.gif It should be mentioned that short-lived Clinton Township is found only on the 1830 census. It got lost during the formation of Carroll County in 1832. -----Original Message----- From: Bill [mailto:bill-good1@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 8:34 PM To: OHJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OHJEFFER] Early Jefferson Co Townships Hello, Could someone point me to a map of early Jefferson County Townships from statehood to 1806 ?

McCoy's Station of course no longer exists... but it was what is now called EMPIRE, which is in Knox Township. The reference to and use of the word "Station" in this case was certainly the known Railroad station.... there are several references made to McCoy's Station in some of the earliest area history books. Hope this helps!

Does anyone have information on the history of Startle, OH (Jefferson County)? My grandparents lived there around the beginning of the 1900s. My father was born there. Other than that, I have been unable to obtain any information about the community. Thanks!
