Sue, Knox Co., OH was formed from Fairfield County in 1808. The Knox County Recorder has land records and should be able to help you. Ask that they please search the deed indexes (grantee and grantor) for any land transactions for Michael Shinabery/Shinaberg. Good luck.
Any one know of the following people... they were in Knox county, Ohio around 1825.... give or take a few years on either side. FLEMING HESSER GRIER / GREER / GREAR not sure of the spelling Thank you very much Wilma Fleming Haynes gencon@harborside.com
Have seen posting of Echo Ralston re: birth lookups for Knox County back to 1867. Would someone please advise if there are any such books or information on births prior to 1867? I would very much like to verify a mother's maiden name on a 1833 birth. Thank you for any reply. Loretta
Susan, I don't see a connection but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I will keep your information and perhaps one will develop........Alice ----- Original Message ----- From: <Muglich@aol.com> To: <OHKNOX-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 14, 2000 5:46 PM Subject: Re: very early Knox County settlers. > Alice, > > I imagine this is a stretch but I have some Daugherty ancestors who I first > pick up in Hardin Co., KY: > > Descendants of Alexander C.

Alice, I imagine this is a stretch but I have some Daugherty ancestors who I first pick up in Hardin Co., KY: Descendants of Alexander C. Daugherty 1 Daugherty, Alexander C. b: 7/09/1855 in Hardin Co., KY d: 12/24/1922 in Arthur, Douglas Co., IL . +Thomas, Sarah E. b: Abt. 1863 d: 1930 in Arthur, Douglas Co., IL Father: Husband Thomas 2 Daugherty, Maud Lulu b: 7/17/1886 d: 4/21/1906 in Champaign, Champaign Co., IL .... +Bolton, Alva Odis b: 2/23/1877 in Bowling Green, Clay Co., IN/Clay Co., IN m: Abt. 1900 in Charleston, Coles Co., IL d: 5/31/1954 in Champaign, Champaign Co., IL Father: James Bolton Mother: Elizabeth Jane Marriott 2 Daugherty, Ruby b: 7/16/1905 in West Salem, IL d: 4/20/1973 in Arthur, IL .... +Thomas, Harve m: 8/12/1934 in Murdock, IL d: 1969 The Alva Bolton noted above, his father (James Bolton) was in Clay Twp., Knox Co., OH by the 1850 census and he was married to an Elizabeth Marriott from Licking Co., OH. James was the son of a Lewis Bolton who apparently migrated from Germany, settling first in VA before moving on to Knox Co. I've never been able to turn up a possible place in VA where they initially settled. Like I said, this may all be a stretch to connect but thought maybe that's how the Daugherty's ended up in IN, having moved from OH with the Bolton line. Let me know you thoughts. Susan
reply to John Buckingham...........John your reply may be very useful to me. My ggGrandfather Benjamin moved to Hardin County about 1833. (Son of James and Elizabeth Rightmire) Long after Benjamins death a short biography was published and the information that his family was from Morgan County Ohio has been suspected as being in error for some time. Especially since census reports say James, Elizabeth and there two oldest children were born in Virginia. Someone must have made an error somewhere in the biography. I already know that there was a Rightmire family in the Morgantown area in that time period. (also in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania) so your reply may have narrowed my search for me. Can I ask what name you are researching from that area.....Alice
To find the church group, you might want to see who married the kids after the move...unless Jp's married them. Several of mine (SWAILES/SWALES, VIAN, & PERKINS) were in Knox Co. prior to 1820 but as far as I can ascertain, came from Maryland. (My GRUBBS came later from Stark Co.) and some of the siblings of my line came from Pa: or by way of Pa: LYBARGERS & CASTEELS.

Unless they were under-age the parents names weren't recorded on the application until Vol 6 which we just published. It is 1899-1903.

Could some nice soul favor me with four lookups in the Knox County census of 1880? Looking for: 1. M.E. Lilley, b. abt 1868, so he would be 12 years old. Believe "E." stands for Emmett. Would like to know his parents and siblings. 2. Sarah Ellen (Ella) Wolfe, b. abt. 1872, so she would be about 8. Would like to know her parents and siblings. 3. Henry Peters family, wife Anna, children Cecilia 16, Mary Frances 15, Clara Anne 13, Joseph 12, William 9 and Helena 8. Would like to know if my data matches census. Also places of birth for parents and children. 4. Any reference to Theodore Whisler. thanks so much!!! Steve von Hitritz in Richmond, VA
