Posted on: Knox Co. Oh Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Knox?read=274 Surname: Shaw, Henegan, Barry ------------------------- Looking for connection of my great-great Grandmother Jean Shaw Henegan. Jean's family I was told were from Lancashire Scotland. She married William Henegan (Ireland?)and they resided in Scotland,prior to coming to America and settling in Knox Co. The story of their trip over is very interesting and found in the old Knox county history.They finally landed in New Orleans.Their child John Henegan married Mary Barry, who later became Mary Barry Colopy,after John's death. All of which lived in Knox county, Danville/Mt.Vernon area. Mary's second husband was Jonathan Colopy a widower. His deceased wife was Sarah "Berry". (2 families different spellings/names sounded the same.)(Barry/Berry)

This site on the Knox County Web Page has a listing of who to contact for cemetery maps. I ordered one about a year ago and it was very useful http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohknox/engineer.htm

Hi: The castles you are referring to are one-half and one mile east of West Liberty, Logan Co., Ohio, and are called Mac-o-chee and Mac-o-cheek castles. They were built by by the Piatt brothers, and are open during the summer months for tours, and Mac-o-cheek castle is also open during the Christmas holidays. If you want more info, write to either castle, at W. Liberty, OH and I'm sure they will be happy to send you tourist info. ----- Original Message ----- From: Maggie Stewart <maggieohio@columbus.rr.com> To: <OHKNOX-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 10:58 PM Subject: Fw: Castle's in Knox County > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <Floyd707@aol.com> > To: <OHKNOX-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 6:34 PM > > > Greetings. > > I work with a lady who says she visited a town called West Liberty that had > small castles that were moved there a long time ago from Europe.

Need some help from Mount Vernon, Knox County, Ohio: I started researching my husband's family tree a little over a year ago. Following is what I have found on the Burke side so far: My husband: Gary Hamilton Burke born in Mt Vernon, Knox Co, OH 04 July 1946; his father Jack Hamilton Burke, GFather Tracy Arthur Burke- DOB 08 Aug 1889, Mt Vernon, OH; married Jessie Mae Agnew Burke Gessling- DOB 20 Nov 1888; GGF John Hamilton Burke- DOB 1863 DOD 1926 Mt Vernon, OH; married Mary Eva Williard Burke DOB 1863 DOD 1935 Mt Vernon, OH; GGF John Henry Agnew DOB 23 May 1860 DOD 11 April 1940 Mt Vernon, OH married Susie Mae Roberts Agnew DOB 23 June 1871 DOD 28 Nov 1957, Mt Vernon, OH; GGGF Robert Burke-1836 DOD 18 March 1863 married Sarah H Phillips Burke DOB 1836 DOD 14 Oct 1908 That's as far as I go.... We have a photo of John Hamilton Burke with 6 others who may be brothers and sisters....I keep coming across the names of Pharaoh Burke and a Julia Ann Burke but do not know where they fit into the family tree. Then I located the names of Moses and Mary...don't know where they belong either. I hope to visit Mt Vernon this summer to continue my research. Next question is: Where would I go to locate birth, marriage and death records in Mt Vernon? Will this information be found in the Probate Court? Do you have a library with genealogy records and if so where is the library located? I know I have a lot of questions in this post, but when I find just one more link...it is so exciting. Hoping to hear from someone in Knox County, Mt Vernon, Oh. jb Janis Burke Burke, P.I. email: janis@burkepi.com http://www.burkepi.com

The Piatt castles are 1 and 2 miles east on St Rt. 245. Mac-a Cheek Castle is a limestone stucture completed in 1871. A guided tour of any of the castles rooms acquaints visitors withthe lives of several generations of former occupants. Mac-O-Chee Castle was begun in the 1860's as a modest gothic retreat and was completed in 1881 with a Flemish-inspired limestone facade. This building contains American, European, and Asian furnishings and objects. Both buildings are shown only by 45-minutes, as needed guided tours. One house is open for a Christmas program. ------------------------------------------------------That is what my Ohio tour book has to say about these castles. Hope this helps, Beverly Bishop

In 1860 census John BIELER, son of Abraham BIELER and Minerva BUXTON BIELER, was listed as living in the home of Henry FRAZIER of Jelloway; John BIELER was also listed in the 1860 census as living in the home of John BUXTON, father of Mary Jane BUXTON FRAZIER and Minerva BUXTON BIELER (who died giving birth to John BIELER). How are these families related? Is Randolph FRAZIER father to both Henry FRAZIER and Phineas FRAZIER? Or could Randolph FRAZIER be an uncle to Phineas FRAZIER?

Wright's. My Knox County Family are Clark, Farquhar and WRIGHT. Farquhar and Wright families were both Quaker. Perhaps since the vital records do not show this Fitzgerald marriage you might try the Quaker records for the area since Quakers did not believe in Civil Registration for their marriages. I will check my Wright information and see if I find anything.

Hi, I am new to this list. I am looking for help in finding information regarding Peter Fine (AKA Peter Fein) and his family. Sometime after the Revolution, he moved from Frederick Co., MD, to Wayne Twp., Knox Co., OH. I don't know his exact death date but I know he was still alive August 2, 1837, at age 87. I believe that most of his children moved with him to OH. I have never done research in Ohio and I am not familiar with Knox Co. resources. I would appreciate any advice on how I can find out more information on Peter and his family. Thanks! Teri GenFindem@aol.com

Thanks so much for info/ I am looking for Joseph Blair who came with his father (name unknown but he was a soldier in 1776 and came to Ohio in 1790s). Joseph fought in War of 1812 and married Rebecca Bennington. One of his sons, Elias, went on the gold rush to Calif. in 1849 but returned to Bucyrus, Ohio. Elias Blair's daughter married a RUHL (my wifes's family). Could William Blair be Joseph's brother? Thanks again, Frank Koucky, Burbank, Ohio 44214

Posted on: Knox Co. Oh Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Knox?read=267 Surname: SHAFFNER, CURTIS, COWDEN ------------------------- I would like to correspond with anyone with ties to the George & Abraham SHAFFNER, David & Jonathan CURTIS, or David & James COWDEN families that lived in Knox CO, Clay and Morgan Twps, Ohio from about 1820 to 1840 before moving to Clark CO, Ill. sometime prior to 1850. Susan CURTIS, believed to be the daughter of David CURTIS married George Shaffner around 1820-1825 in Knox CO. Eveline CURTIS married Abraham Shaffner. A great granddaughter of David COWDEN married a daughter of George and Susan SHAFFNER in Illinois. So these families are a big part of my roots, but their history before Knox. CO gets murkier.
