Hi Guys, I know there are several on these two lists who are interested in the Rice family, and I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still working on a website for Charles W. Rice and his family. The site is FREE, and gives a chronology of him and his family. I also uncovered a few other interesting facts that may or may not have been known to my fellow researchers, such as Sarah Lynam's father, and possibly William Rice's parentage. I'll be updating the website throughout the week, but am starting to tire of it so I'm taking a break. If anyone has any photographs of the older Rices, please feel free to send them to me for adding to the site. This site is paid for through July of 2011, and I hope to keep it beyond that. The site is located at http://lindatrent.homestead.com/RiceFamily.html Enjoy, Linda Trent linda_trent@att.net

April, I see here that you have a book of children admitted to the LawCo. Children's home and I wonder, if you would please look up a child for me? Interestingly enough, she had a guardian named John T. McKnight, I don't know if he was related to her. Her name was Emma Welch (b. 1872 in Law. Co.), she was the daughter of William and (Julia)na Welch. When Juliana died in 1887, it left Emma an orphan. I have never been able to find this child anywhere after her mother's death and would be greatly appreciative if you could look. Thank you Christine Welch Law. Co.

I have a great book by Martha Kounse detailing the admissions to the Lawrence Co. Children's Home from 1874-1926. There is a girl here named Surilda MARTIN. Different first name spelling than your ancestor though. Admitted 11 Jan. 1876 no parents' names listed. "About 12 yrs. old, from Infirmary. Went to Mrs. S. Crawford's 17 Apr 1876. Returned to Home 22 Nov. 1876. Taken by Andrew GUSEGE, Quaker Bottom 23 May 1877." Here is a detailed plot map showing the location of Quaker Bottom. It is in lower Lawrence Co., OH. Click on the link, look in the upper left corner to see the area. It was also known as Proctorville. http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~3583~380104:City-o f-Ironton,-Lawrence-Co--O---w If you cannot click on the above link, or if it doesn't show you the detailed map, let me know, I'll send the link directly to your e-mail. ------------ There is a NANCE woman here as well. MAY, Jesse (female) admitted 8 Sept. 1919 father - MAY, Dan mother - NANCE,Della Child Jesse was born 8 May 1905. If you want further details of her experience at the Home, let me know, I'll send it over. Here is the list of McKnights: Gertrude J.T. John Albert John Q. Joseph Liddie W.F. William If you need any info. on these above, let me know. ----------------- An entry for JOHNSON, Mary Serilda is also here. With Serilda being such a pretty and unique name, and your Serilda marrying a JOHNSON, maybe this child Mary is a connection to you? Middle name Serilda after your ancestor? Admitted 11 Nov. 1887 father - JOHNSON, Hiram mother - GIBSON, Rhoda "Mary Serilda Johnson was born 1881 Clinton Furnace, Scioto Co., OH." Another girl with the same parents and admission date is listed under her named Sarah Alice JOHNSON. A boy with the same parents and admission date is also listed. He is named after their father Hiram. "JOHNSON, Hiram Ernest. Born 1877. Lawrence Co., OH. Father born abt. 1843 in Ky. Was a soldier, now living and worthless. Mother born about 1846 at Clinton Furnace, Scioto Co., OH. living at Ironton, OH. Parents married ain Scioto Co., OH. 1875. Mrs. Jesse CRON, 6th Ward, Ironton is aunt (mother's side) of children. Brought to Home by Trustees of Upper Twp. Children returned to parents 26 Nov. 1887. Moved to Bloom Furnace, Scioto Co., OH." Another son with the same date of admission and parents is also listed. He is Charles A. JOHNSON. He was "placed in the Home temporarily by mother. Returned to mother 12 Apr. 1883." Best wishes to you in your further research! ---April.

He spent his entire adult life in Rock Camp and the vicinity behind Ironton out in the country. His second wife Serilda MARTIN was my ancestor.

Any information about Lawrence County McKNIGHTS? Also researching a William MARTIN born in Aid, Lawrence, Ohio in 1788 (though some say Virginia) He died in Aid in Dec 1869. He raised a large family with Nancy NANCE in Rock Camp. Any information about William Martin of Rock Camp and Aid, or in fact the NANCES?

Responded to and thanked "fkb" off-List . It's certainly possible that the BOYL family in 1850 is in fact the BAGLEY family. Does anyone even know of a family with the surname "BOYL" living in Lawrence Co in 1850? This could be a case of Census-taker error.
