Stevenson on 11 FEB 1853 in Fairfield County, according to my family source. Who was he, what did he do, where did he live, and when did he die? She later re-married to a Mueller man -- clues to his identity? Olive Kirkendall, b.1837, probably married during 1855 - 1865 -- who was her husband? Florence Kirkendall, b.1846, married Ed Buckland. Who were the parents of this Ed Buckland, and how was he connected to the other Licking County Bucklands? Thanks for any info!

Subject: More OGS Conference News John Colletta to Lecture at 2005 Ohio Genealogical Society Conference Popular genealogical lecturer John Colletta will be presenting three lectures at the 2005 Ohio Genealogical Conference in Akron, Ohio. The theme for the conference, scheduled for April 14-16, is "From Farmland to City Streets: Our Ancestors' Changing Environment." In "Passenger Arrival Records, 1820-1957," he will discuss the U.S. passenger arrival records of 1820 through 1957, which are available at the National Archives in Washington, DC, as well as at the thirteen Regional Archives around the country, any one of thousands of Latter-day Saints Family History Centers around the world, many libraries, and on the Internet. Colletta will explain what facts family researchers need to know to begin their search for an immigrant ancestor's ship, as well as how to conduct the search. Using specific examples, he will illustrate how to exploit National Archives indexes, published indexes and other pertinent research tools, including CD-ROMs and Internet websites. He will also address how to find the ship of an ancestor who arrived before 1820. In his lecture, "Italian Ancestry: Researching in the United States and Italy," he will explore key resources available here in the United States for tracking a family back to the immigrant ancestor from Italy, then describe the broad spectrum of civil and religious records available in Italy for taking that family far back into the past, generation by generation. He will discuss how resources both here and there may be accessed in the following ways: 1) in person; 2) by mail; 3) using microfilm via the Family History Library; 4) the Internet; and 5) hiring someone in Italy. In his third lecture, entitled "The Library of Congress: An Introduction and Overview for Genealogists," John Colletta will take the mystery out of using our national library, which he believes is a resource underutilized by genealogists. He will "walk" his audience through the institution, reading room by reading room-all twenty of them-and highlight the resources available. He also will discuss the extraordinary web site of the Library of Congress, plus make many practical suggestions (the lecturer has lived within walking distance of the library for twenty-six years). Finally, he will make a persuasive argument that a trip to Washington could advance your family research tremendously! Based in Washington, DC, John Philip Colletta, PhD., conducts workshops for the National Archives and teaches courses for the Smithsonian Institution and local universities. He lectures nationally and is a faculty member of the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research at Samford University and the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy. His publications include They Came in Ships and Finding Italian Roots. His latest book is Only a Few Bones. The 2005 OGS Conference and accompanying exhibition will be held at the Quaker Square Convention Center in downtown Akron. The adjoining Crowne Plaza Hotel will serve as the headquarters hotel for the conference. The Ohio Genealogical Society is the largest state genealogical society in the nation, with over 5000 members in 94 chapters around the state and elsewhere in the U.S. It publishes The OGS Quarterly, OGS Genealogy News, Ohio Records & Pioneer Families, and Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal.

Does anyone have information on the Family of Benedict Farmer? I find a Benedict Farmer living in Licking Township in 1820 with 1 male 0-9, 1 male 26-44 and 1 female 26-44. I also find a marriage for a Benedict Farmer to Anna Holtsberry, 9 March 1823. By 1830 I cannot find a Benedict Farmer. However, I do find an Anna Holsberry later. Did he have two wives? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Karen

I have not done any original research on this family, however; there are a lot of researchers posting information on Rootsweb that indicates that Benjamin Green, b. 26 April 1755 in Sussex County, New Jersey, who went to Allegany County, Maryland and married Catherine Beam before settling in Licking County was the son of Benjamin Green b. 7 July 1734 married Freelove Tillinghast and the grandson of Nathaniel Greene and his wife Phebe. He was in Allegany County in 1798 and in Licking in 1799. Is this all incorrect? Karen

Major General Nathaniel GREENE, of the Rhode Island GREENE family, had two older half brother's. The half brother's were children from his father's first marriage...Benjamin GREENE, born July 7, 1734 who married Freelove TILLINGHAST, and Thomas GREENE, born November 11, 1735 who married Susannah HARRIS. Does anyone have any information on the descendants of these brothers, especially Benjamin? Thank you. Fran

I have seen inquires on the McKee line........in Licking and Muskingum Counties......I got this from a mailing site (I am researching McGee). Maybe there is something that will help here? ======== I went over this family some time ago, Daniel McGee met and married a Widow, Catharine Wills. She had several children with her first Johanne Wills who died in 1793, and 2 sons with Daniel McGee who died in 1805. The 1800 census of Lincoln Co., NC lists Daniel McGee age 26-45 Conrad, male, age 0-10 3 females age 0-10 (Barbara Wills and two McGee girls) Daniel Will, male age 10-16 Female age 26-45, (Catherine) Little is known about Daniel. He had a brother named Thomas McGee, esquire. The 1790 census lists Thomas McGee with 2 males over 16 and 2 females over 16. Daniel was not listed separately in the census, so the writer who gave this information thinks Daniel was one of the 16 year old males in Thomas' household, saying they were probably brothers. I am interested in this family, because MY Daniel. Cliffs grandfather lived at Arab, and Marble Hill plus most of the other small communities in a 15-20 mile radius of McGee MO. The writer of this information told me that the two McGee girls (I think it meant the daughters of Daniel and Catharine, married Louis and Richard Cato. Clifford's aunt, Jessie Alberta McGee was married in the home of her uncle; L.Cato. I'm hoping a known male member of this McGee Missouri family has done the DNA testing so I can know whether or not they are actually McGehees. The Author of "Lost Family, Lost Cause" is Ivan McKee. Ivan is related to the McGee, MO McGee family. Like you, Pat I have tried to research this family, because of their close proximity to my family. Elizabeth (Sisson) McGhee "C. ELIZABETH McGhee" <[email protected]> wrote: I can buy that easily enough. There are McGees and McKees who intermarried in Wayne County, MO. This would be the McGee family that gave their name to the community of McGee. One of the McGee descendants sent me the McGee Ancestry. I'll look it up and see if you have information on this line. Elizabeth [email protected] wrote: Elizabeth, I have an idea but it is just guessing. Since McKey and McKee (not McKay) were most like McGee's etc.it could be the first cousin syndrom.LOL. I know in the earlier years it was Very common for 1st cousins to marry. In fact my trees don't fork. But later when Plecker and others came on the scene it also became a law that 1st cousins could NOT marry. Soooo I think they got creative and altered the spellings to allow them to marry anyway. Just a guess.

Does anyone have access to the Green Family History book at the Licking County Historical Society? I am trying to determine if the John Green who married Elizabeth Holtsberry 26 June 1807 in Fairfield County is the same John Green who later married Barbara Grove on 28 March 1813. I have been unable to find any record of Elizabeth and John after their marriage and am wondering if she died soon after their marriage and he remarried. It's a long shot but possible. Karen

The Licking County history is just one of many that are featured on the site. If you go to the bottom of the page that the link takes you to, you'll see a link for the home page, where you'll see all the other counties. At the bottom of the home page is a link to Al Potter, the webmaster, where you may send comments. Page numbers are shown in the page breaks between the text. I believe the methodology is OCR, and so it sometimes contains errors. I have personally reported a couple of errors to Al, which he fixed. Despite occasional errors, it has proven to be a huge aid in research, even if you have a copy of the original book. The search capabilities of the site speed up the search, because it can be difficult and time consuming to find something in the hard-copy book.
