I agree with Pat, except for the past tense. In my neck of the woods those things still apply and to many townships here. We even still have the dirt roads (gravel actually) but can't afford oil! Records available can vary a lot depending on the past (and present) Clerks and cemetery sextons. It doesn't hurt to ask. One important unaddressed issue. ALL the records are public and the person in charge must make them available. CJC Proud member of Rootsweb! Join Now!

The link below will show a typical township "house" in Licking county (Jersey township). These were used for zoning hearings, trustee meetings and polling places. Many were also used as school houses in past days. In Outville, in the 60's when I lived there, Harrison township also had a "garage" where they kept a road grader and dump truck (with snow plow), etc. Of course this was also when many of the "township" roads were nothing but gravel and oil (to keep dust down).

Generally in Ohio townships do not have any records that they keep about PEOPLE, they have records about road repairs and other such stuff. The county and state governments keep records having to do with births, deaths, marriages and land transfers. probably every state in the NW territories has a Licking River, mainly because early settlers and explorers found a salt lick somewhere near and named the river accordingly. I know for a fact about Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee. Mike salley

Alexandria is a little northeast of Granville, and is in Licking County. Patricia

Yes, there is a Licking River in Ohio. It runs through Newark from the Northwest to the Southeast. Patricia

Is there a Licking River in Ohio? If so, where? My gg-grandmother Missouri Carroll said that she was born next to the Licking River ---- in Jackson County, Indiana. While there is a Jackson County Indiana I cannot find a Licking River. It looks like her father, Samuel, fought in the War of 1812 in a regiment from Ross County which later became Licking County, Ohio, and then later moved to Jackson County, Indiana. No I wonder I maybe she had gotten a little confused and ran the tow together. Also does anyone know about Samuel Carroll, or any Carrolls in this are from the late 1700' to the early 1800's Thanks Gayle

Hello all. Does anyone have any idea or info onthe old barn that was torn down by the new Flying J truck stop by Rt 70 and 158? I am told that there was a possiblity that it was at one time, owned by my ancestors ROSTORFER's. Does anyone know the people who live there now? Any info would be a big help. Thanks in advance, Monica Rostofer Woodworth

Hi Ohio Board: Can anyone tell me exactly where Alexandria Township OH is located? I'm assuming it is in Licking County, not far from Granville. Would the Township records be available at the county seat? My great-grandmother, Ellen Sophorona [Rose]Clemons, widow of William Clemons, raised her 5 children there, having moved from Granville. Have not been able to locate any of my grandfather, John LeClare's, siblings: Belle, Frederick, (male, can't remember name)??? and Maud , all born in the late 1800's. Thanks for any help you may be able to give me. Regards, Lois (LoieRinNJ@aol.com)

My relatives (John and Margaret Wickliffe) supposedly are buried in the Columbia Center, Licking County, cemetery. Does anyone know where this is? I know there is no longer a Columbia Center in Licking County but was told this town existed in the 1800's. Thanks for any info Deb Stewart

I just want to thank all the people who responded to my enquiry about finding my wife's mother's grave. We thought she would have been buried in a Catholic cemetery and have received information on all of the cemeteries in and around Newark, including directions, phone numbers, etc. As it turns out, one respondent went way beyond the request and looked her up in the cemetery listings at the genealogical society. Turns out she is buried in the Cedar Hill Cemetery. So now we will be able to visit the grave while we are there. Again, many many thanks! andy Andy Davidson --- Pheon Research --- 503-537-0985 If you know what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

Andy, I was just down there a week ago. The Catholic cemetery is on Route 13 just south of Newark. It is actually in Heath. It is called Mt. Calvary. If you are coming from Newark, it is just a little ways past Hopewell Dr. on the right side of the road. If you are coming up 13 from SR 70, it is past Jackson Town and about a mile passed the Dawes Arboretum. There is only one cemetery in Newark proper and that is Cedar Hill. The only Catholic Cemetery around is Mt. Calvary. There might be others in one of the surrounding townships but this is the only one I have ever heard of.

To Andy (I no longer have his address) The answers you have received about the location of a Catholic cemetery in the Newark, OH area have been partially correct. The major cemetery in the Newark area is Cedar Hill Cemetery. It is a municipal cemetery where burials of all faiths have been made since 1850. It is located at 275 N. Cedar Street in the north-east section of the city. The office is staffed and open from 8:30-4:30 Monday thru Friday and until noon on Saturday. The telephone number is (740) 349-6789. The records there are complete and exceptional for the information contained. The oldest and largest Catholic cemetery is Mt. Calvary Cemetery which is located on SR 13 just south of Newark in the city of Heath. This is the one across the road from the radio station. The only burials made there now are persons for whom space is available on existing family plots. The newer Catholic cemetery is St. Joseph's Cemetery which is located on SR 13 a mile or two north of the village of Vanatta (several miles north of Newark). I'm guessing that this cemetery was opened in the 1940s or 1950s. The records for both of the Catholic cemeteries are maintained at the St. Francis De Sales Parish Office located in Newark at 66 Granville Street. I think they are open during regular business hours Monday thru Friday. The telephone number is (740) 345-9874. There is no office at either cemetery. Since the person for whom you are looking was buried in 1949, it's possible that they could be in either of the three. Perhaps a telephone call would save you some time searching. Don Young

My mother-in-law, Katharyn Shannon lives in Newark. I asked her and she replied: To get to St. Joseph Cemetery you follow State route 13 south, past Orchard Street and a filling station as you leave town. It is on a hill of the right along highway 13, across from the radia station. Pat Asher wrote: > > There is a St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Newark.
