    3. Dear Thomas M. Bay, and Jefferson County, Ohio Researchers, Thomas BAY is included in the list of those buried in the Bacon Ridge Cemetery, Ross Township, Jefferson County, Ohio. I received today a photocopy of the first page of Bacon Ridge Cemetery information from the book "Tombstone Inscriptions and Family Records of Jefferson County, Ohio", published by Esther Weygandt Powell. The page I received in the mail is the one that includes "CRITSER", and has surnames "ALLEN" to "MCLAVE". The surnames on the grave markers are listed alphabetically, with no "BAY" entries at all in the main list. But, up in the introductory paragraph to Bacon Ridge Cemetery is the following statement: "First members [of the original Presbyterian Church] included: Arthur LATIMER, John P. MCMILLEN, Stephen COE, Thomas BAY, Calvin MOOREHEAD, Aaron ALLAN and Andrew DIXON. Copied August 1964 assisted by grandson Richard Hetrick. NOTICE: Many of the above stones, discarded in heaps, probably will soon be gone. Does anyone care?" There is a bit more information on this cemetery on the page I have. Randal W.
