Becky, Our John Thompson married Marie Ross 2 Jun 1827, Steubenville, Jefferson Co. OH. That is our earliest documentation. A genealogist in Jefferson co. told me he came from County Tyrone and it must have been between 1800 and 1827. Wish I knew more. Do you know the ship your William Ager came over on. That would be great to check for passengers. If you do or know the date, please let me know and maybe we can check. It would be great if they were on the same ship. Bobbie Please keep us in mind as you search. thanks >From: MrsBigOtis@aol.com >Reply-To: OHJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com >To: OHJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: History of Jefferson County, Ohio >Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 09:21:48 EST > >I read that your John W.
