My error, should have read Ohio Records and Pioneer Families. I mistakenly typed "of" in place of "and". So there are bits of data that date well past any of the early pioneer families. BTW, there are back issues for sale at OGS. See the webpage. http://www.ogs.org/ and click on publications -- Nancy M. Meyers, Lorain OH

Hi, Nancy. Would the court in question have been the Court of Common Pleas? Both THOMPSONs mentioned and Hiram OFFENBBURG (OFFENBERG) are Columbia Twp. people and are collaterally related to me. S.B. Thompson was Samuel Banner THOMPSON(1836-1917), son of John V. THOMPSON(1808-1893) and Amanda OSBORN(1809-1890). I would like to get a look at the case in question. Was it skullduggery a misunderstanding or what? But unless I'm missing something - all too likely - the only court records for that period that the LDS have filmed are Probate records. Any suggestions as to how I can find out more?

So sorry the last message that I sent out was for Nancy Meyers.... Jane Hoholski

HI, Elmer asked me which side of my house that Jesse Jasinto lived. I told him north of me... I meant south... He lives right next door to me. Jane

Hello all I am new to the list. I live in Southern Ohio but an attempting to collect data on my Cleveland area relatives. Can someone tell me if there are copies of the microfilm somewhere for abt 1890-1908 on deaths. And births before 1898? I found Vol. 4-5 of births (1898-1908) and Deaths (1867-1889) at Columbus at the Ohio Historical Society. It is a LONG drive up to Cleveland, hoping to find them a little closer south. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

abstracted from the Feb. 13, 1892 issue of The LC Reporter...... Ridgeville................... Mrs. John MAXWELL has been sick for more than a week. Why don't that wedding take place here that was predicted some time ago? Harry PECK is again able to resume control of his old paper route. Miss Jennie RAMSDELL of Lorain is spending a few weeks with her sister. Happy sleigh rides have come to an end, but 4 weeks of sleighing once in 3 years ain't bad for this climate. The dance at the town hall on the 30th by the Ridgeville Social Club was a decided success. Musical talent from Cleveland helped to make it special. Joseph LEHMAN returned from a business trip to Germany & resumes his work in the mill. He had pleasant & peaceful weather for both voyages. Sick list: Mrs. L. EMMONS, Mrs. & Mrs. James HOSTLANDER, Mrs. G. AVERY, Mrs. DUNHAM, W.B.WORDIN, Gilbert FIELDS, James BEVERAGE, & S.C. BUTLER.

Hi Sylvia... Re the following mssg from nancy Myers...What is the Ohio Records of Pioneer Families????? So far as I know, our Neffs didn't arrive in Oh til the mid 1840's so by OH standards, it doesn't sound like they'd be pioneers, does it??????

Sylvia, Per the query you posted at Lorgen, your Asa Taft was not married until 1907 and so his daughters would not have shown up in the Pioneer Women in the Western Reserve Before 1850. I did check for your surnames however and there were no ESKINS/TAFT/NEFF surnames indexed as being in Lorain or adjoining counties that source. -- Nancy M. Meyers, Lorain OH

Nancy or any lists, in the book of Women of Pioneer would there be a Lucy Arvilla Taft or a Sarah Rachel Eskins, A Pauline (Polly) Neff, or any other Eskins women from lORAIN cOUNTY IN rIDGEVILLE OR lAgRANGE?

Please accept my apology for accidentally sending this list a copy of my message yesterday that was intended for a Board member of the Brownhelm Historical Association. Need to explain to all of you who may be confused and in the dark. On April 13th, the BHA will have a gala John Mercer Langston Historical Marker dinner & dedication. It is to be held at the new RED CLAY in Vermilion (that is the site of the former McGarvey's). Of course most of you know that John M. Langston was the 1st African-American attorney admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1854. He was elected clerk of Brownhelm Township in 1855. Elected clerk of Russia Twp. in 1856. >From that point oh was very active in Oberlin and in other states. He organized the National Equal Rights League in 1864, which was the forerunner of the NAACP. Many other accomplishments, too numerous to mention in this email. The Historical Marker will be permanently located at the historic Brownhelm School on North Ridge Rd., Vermilion. If this event interests you, contact Tracy, the Committee Chair, at 965-8888. Nancy M. Meyers, Lorain OH
