Hill's 1881 "History of Knox County, Ohio" says the following abt churches located in Pleasant Twp: "Pleasant Hill Christian church was organized at Pleasant grove on the Mt. Vernon and Martinsburgh road, by Rev. Isaac N. Walter, September 24, 1832. (Then lists original members and some history of the church.) "In 1854 a new frame church was built near W.T. Hyatt's, and the name changed from Pleasant grove to Pleasant hill. (Lists some early members.) No regular services are held at this time. (1881) "St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church.-As early as 1820 Rev. Jacob Bovee preached in the neighborhood. ...but no church was organized until June 4, 1853, when Rev. William M. Gilbreath preached at Crawford's school-house on the Martinsburgh road. "In 1854 a subscription was taken up to build a church, and Benjamin Kerr appointed treasurer. (Some history and members given.) "Pleasant Hill Presbyterian church was the result of the labors of Rev. Henry Hervey, who preached a number of years in the southern portion of Pleasant township. The date of the first organization is not positively known, but may be set down as about 1845. (Original members listed.) In 1850 a neat frame church thirty-five by forty feet was built on the Martinsburgh road, about one mile from the south line of the township, which is still used by the congregation as a house of worship. (1881) "Hopewell Methodist Episcopal church is situated on the East Union road, one mile west of the east line of the township. Its history cannot be obtained. The following facts are all that can be ascertained in reference to it. The present structure... was built under the auspiced of Rev. Allen Moffat, in 1855. The present number of members is forty-three. (1881) "To each of the above churches a cemetery is attached, the date of the establishment of which is coeval with the building of the churches. Besides these, there are a few burying-grounds separate from any church building-the oldes of which is that situated about a mile and a half east of Hunt's Station.

Loretta, Not offhand, but I just got the LDS Church's CD of the FAmily History Library Catalog, and will look on that to see if I can find anything for Knox Co.

Would anyone having access to the birth records of Knox County be willing to do a lookup for me? I'm interested in birth information for SILAS HUNTER b. 1853 - parents would be William and Sarah Hunter - probably living in Pleasant Township. I'm trying to confirm maiden name of Sarah Hunter. Thank you so much for any replies. Loretta

Ohio did not start recording births or deaths until 1867. Maybe a church record???

Hi.... I have a map of Knox Co cemeteries but I don't know from the names which might be a Catholic cemetery, and thought maybe I could find a shortcut. If necessary I will wade thru the whole fiche. Thanks for the fiche #. Rosanne

Try the FHC for Fiche 6101476 - it gives the names of the Knox Co. cemeteries and the names of those interred. (FHC is Family History Center or Mormons). Good luck.

George Sapp and Catherine Arnold had a daughter named Delilah Sapp, she Delilah married Jacob Colopy in 1825 these two were the parents of Jonathan Colopy (he is my great great grandfather)...now my records say that Jonathan was their second son..their first being Timothy, but what I have says Timothy married a woman named Theresa Doyle...

About the name Holt. I could use some assistance, here is what we know. My great great grandmother was Lucy Holt. Unfortunately, it is a maternal line and I know little else. Amos Connor Workman, son of Abraham Workman and Grace Connor; born 19 Jan 1815 in Tiverton Township, Coshocton, Ohio, married to Lucy Holt (born about 1817, Tiverton Township and had children: Louisa Francis Marion Grace Nancy J Workman Isaac Leonard Mary Ellen Normanda James B Hulda Tiverton Township is just across the line of Knox Co, from Union Township, Howard, etc. I also have cousins who are Holts in another line: Betsy Workman born 1832 in Tiverton Township, married Joseph Walker Holt (born 1832 in Tiverton Township, son of John Holt and Mary Walker and had children: Florence Holt who married (1) Peter Sheldon and (2) Pink Root; Maggie Holt who married (1) Lawn Robinson and (2) Clif Robinson; Susan Holt who marred James Root; John Holt who married Alice Neville, Ann Holt who married Charles Robinson; Jane Holt who married Eli Phillips, Nora Holt who married Albert Best; Fannie Holt who married Robert Connor. Just wondering about our family's elusive "Lucy Holt." Thanks, Myron

Hi, Would appreciate some help: 1) name of Catholic cemetery in/near Mt Vernon, and who to contact for info. 2) curious to know how McKenzie Rd got its name (I have ancestors from that area) Thank you. Rosanne in NC
