Have a couple of Pennsylvania Families that are I believe connected and found on the 1850 Logan County Census living next door to one another, but at this time it has been difficult trying to prove this. Benjamin F. ROBB married Jane Elizabeth ROSS in Hardin County in 1846 and was living next door to my Elizabeth ROSS, a widow with three sons named George H., A. H. and Sullivan. A. H. and Elizabeth are on the Tax Census for 1851, but somehow Sullivan gets missed, this according to LDS records which may be wrong. A. H. disappears before 1860 and I lost track of Elizabeth. When George went to Pulaski County in 1860 Benjamin and Jane followed. Sullivan went to Crawford County by 1860 where he married Emma C. CASEY. About 1873 George H. ROSS moves into Mercer County, Missouri where he purchases land. About 1875 Benjamin F. ROBB and family, along with the Sullivan ROSS family settled into Mercer County as well. From here the family prospers and proceeds to fan out across the country and die into obscurity, many without a tombstone and into a county where the courthouse burns. I believe I have enough circumstantial evidence to tie these two families together by marriage. From another researcher on the ROBB side comes that fact that Jane's mother was named Elizabeth and father named John who died prior to 1850, but alas is not found on a Mortality Schedule for Ohio and in keeping with good ROSS tradition leaves no paper trail or tombstone. The CIA would love to have people like our ancestors, who only made sure to document LAND transactions, but otherwise leave no trace.

On common names like this, it helps if you supply a bit more information about which individuals you are researching. I have included below one Smith family group from Logan co., OH which I have researched in detail. The earliest known ancestor of this family, John Smith Sr., of Bath co., VA, living 1810 [Bath co., VA census], appears for the first time in the tax lists of Bath co., VA in 1794, his residence prior to that being unknown. His known children were John Smith Jr. [see below] and Robert Smith, d. 19 June 1834, md. 14 Jan 1806 (licence 7 Jan), Bath co., VA, Isabella Burnsides, who was b. ca. 1886, still living in 1850 [census, Logan co., OH], daughter of John Burnsides Sr. of Bath co., VA. The brothers John and Robert Smith came to Logan (then Champaign) co., OH in 1811. John Smith Jr., of Bath co., VA and Logan co., OH, b. ca. 1770/5 [estimated from ages given in various censuses], d. 1840/1, Logan co., OH, md. 1st, 1799 (marriage bond 15 Oct 1799), Bath co., VA, Rebeckah Carrick. John Smith appears to have md. 2nd, before 1828, Sarah, whose maiden name is unknown [mentioned in the history of the Bellefontaine Presbyterian Church]. John Smith md. 3rd, 19 Oct 1838, Logan co., OH, Harriet Camper, who survived him, and was still living in 1845. Children of John Smith Jr.: 1. James Smith, of Monroe township, Logan co., OH, later of Hale township, Hardin co., OH, b. ca. 1800, d. 21 Apr 1878, Hardin co., OH, md. 4 July 1822, Logan co., OH, Mary Ann Taylor, who was b. 7 Oct 1804, d. 10 Jan 1881. 2. Sarah Smith, b. 1802, VA, d. 1866, bur. Fairview cem., West Liberty, Logan co., OH, md. 5 June 1822, Logan co., OH, Peter Kelly, who was b. 1799, d. 1856. 3. Robert H. Smith, b. 5 Oct 1804, VA, d. 10 Sep 1876, bur. Brunk cem., Cotton Hill township., Sangamon co., IL, md. 16 Feb 1826, Logan co., OH, Patience Burgess, who was b. 15 Aug 1806, d. 4 Feb 1857. 4. Elizabeth Smith, b. 10 Oct 1806, VA, d. 17 Aug 1881, bur. Fairview cem., West Liberty, Logan co., OH, md. 15 Feb 1827, Logan co., OH, John Hill. 5. Margaret Smith, b. 2 Apr 1809, VA, d. 15 Feb 1890, bur. Fairview cem., West Liberty, Logan co., OH, md. 1st, 30 June 1831, Logan co., OH, Nathaniel Kelly, md. 2nd, 20 Jan 1867, Logan co., OH, Samuel Brown, md. 3rd, 5 Mar 1875, Calloway co., MO, Archibald Allen. 6. Rebecca Smith, md. (lic. 6 Mar 1834), Logan co., OH, Richard Minshall. 7. Jane Smith, md. (1st?), (lic. 15 Oct 1833), Logan co., OH, Harvey Wilson, apparently md. 2nd. a Mr. Conklin (based to family records which give her name as Jane Conklin). 8. Isabella Smith, b. 6 Apr 1820, d. 31 Dec 1876, bur. Old Auxvasse Presbyterian Church cem., Callaway co., MO, md. (lic. 18 Feb 1836), Logan co., OH, David Woltz. 9. Samuel Smith, b. 4 Mar 1822, d. 12 July 1895, bur. Fairview cem., West Liberty, Logan co., OH, md. Mary, who was b. 27 May 1832, d. 12 July 1903. Please note that there were a number of Smith families in Logan co., and this one is the only one which I have researched. (I descend from child number one, James Smith, and his wife Mary Ann Taylor.) I do not have any data on the numerous other Smith families of Logan co., OH. I also descend from two Williams family in Logan co., OH (see below). Which one are you researching? Stewart Baldwin Logan co., OH surnames: BALDWIN: Daniel, son of Jesse and Hannah (Thornburgh) Baldwin, md. Hannah Williams, moved to Hardin co., OH. DORN: From Hesse-Cassel, Germany. I am not descended from any of these Logan co. Dorn (as far as I know), but believe that may have been closely related to my Dorns of Hardin county. GRIMES: James, son of Benjamin* and ___* of MD, lived in Fayette co., PA before coming to Logan co., OH, md. Elizabeth Yeagley, daughter of Andrew* and Sarah* (Davis) Yeagley. PAXSON: John, originally of Hunterdon co., NJ, son of Reuben and Alice (Simcock) Paxson, md. Mary* (maiden name unlnown), father of Nancy who md. Henry Williams. SMITH: see above TAYLOR: Mary Ann Taylor* (parentage unknown) md. James Smith (see above). WILLIAMS (1): John, son of Jesse and Eleanor (Johnson) Williams, md. Mary Robinson, father of Hannah who md. Daniel Baldwin. WILLIAMS (2): Henry, son of William* and Nancy* (Safewright) Williams, md. Nancy Paxson, daughter of John (above), parents of Lemuel Williams who md. Sarah Grimes and moved to Harding co., OH. The ones marked with an "*" are individuals on whom I have very little information.
