I have been corresponding with my 82 year old uncle and his wife about my mother's side of the family. He wrote me this about threshing dinners and gave me permission to share it with you. There were threshing day dinners as Thelma remembers. We had fields of wheat and oats to be threshed...also grew fields of corn and soy beans. These crops were used to feed our livestock. The neighboring farmers all helped each other at threshing time (sort of a "threshing circle"), and a man named Mr. Wells had the "local" threshing machine. He was paid $/bushel, but I don't remember how much. The farmers' wives also helped each other when it was Threshing Day at their farm, and each took pride in serving a bountiful harvest table. Mom and the girls baked and cooked and prepared days in advance to assure that no one went away hungry. The "Threshing Circle" was discontinued just before or during W.W.II [he has since wrote and told me that they continued after the war] with the advent of the more efficient combine and the delicious Threshing Day Dinners became a wonderful memory. Does it jar anybody's memory? Does anyone know Mr. Wells? How much was he paid? I assume this was a steam engine driven thresher. Is that right? What can you share about this memory? Brian L.

My ancester, John CARMAN,(1784-1861)is said to have served in the War of 1812, while living in Harford County, MD. He and family then moved to Jefferson County, shortly after the War, arriving sometime between 1814 and 1817. He then lived the remainder of his life, and died, in Jefferson County. Would he, therefore, be listed as a veteran of the War in Jefferson County records?

I am looking for info on this family who resided in Jefferson Co in the late 1700/early 1800. The only info I have on Brice/Bryce is that he resided in Warren Twp. Per the 1820 census and appears to have been born ~1775. He also had a son named Samuel (b. ~1809). Brice/Bryce had a younger brother named Ephraim Fisher (b. ~1785) who married Catherine Pegg in 1809. He later married her sister Margaret Pegg. Ephraim is my ggg grandfather. Any info AT ALL on this family would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Jill Ludlam

In regards to prices going up, I got info from Cuyahoga County last week. It's not Jefferson, I know, but may give an idea. Looks like prices haven't been raised in a while. City of Cleveland Department of Health pricing for vital records. I was sent a list of locations and prices, but there was an added sheet which reads, "New Fees Effective October 1, 2001 - Birth Certificate, Certified: $11 per copy; Death Certificate, Certified: $11 per copy. Vital Statistics will no longer accept request for uncertified copies through the mail." Karin

I was told yesterday that it appears Certified copies of Birth & Death Records from the State of Ohio, Vital Statistics prices are going to be raised from $10 to $15. This is not official yet, I don't believe, but if you need any, I'd suggest you order them right away. Carol
