Hi List: There is new info on the Madison County Infirmary at the Poorhouse Story web site. While not searchable, it gives a discription of what is available at the Ohio Historical Society and explains what is on the microfilms. I'm very excited about this as I should get some valuable information on my great great grandfather. Go to poorhousestory.com.

We would like to invite you to visit The POORHOUSE STORY website (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses)at http://www.poorhousestory.com Thanks to many of the Ohio "listers" who volunteered to do the transcribing, we have a New Year gift. We just published the WPA Inventory of Poorhouse records for MADISON County. For history fans and genealogy buffs alike ... we think you will enjoy these. Be sure to check the list of Infirmary Directors at the bottom of the inventory. (Lots of folks have written to us after we published some of the other counties to say they found ancestors there!) Here is a description: --------------------------- During the 1930's and 1940's the Work Projects Administration (WPA) began the process of inventorying County Archives of Ohio. Their work was cut short when funding elapsed prior to World War II, but several volumes were published. The Columbiana County edition states: "The inventories produced by the Historical Records Survey Program attempt to do more than give merely a list of records--they attempt further to sketch in the historical background of the county or other unit of government, and to describe precisely and in detail the organization and functions of the government agencies whose records they list. The county, town, and other local inventories will, when completed, constitute an encyclopedia of local government as well as bibliography of local archives." ... While these records may no longer be stored in the vault, it is proof that they did exist at the time the book was compiled. It may take some digging, but chances are good that the records can be found. The WPA Inventories were never totally completed for all counties in Ohio. ... They are unavailable today except in most major Ohio libraries, where a complete set will usually be found. page 60 OHIO GENEALOGICAL GUIDE 6th Edition by Carol Willsey Bell, C.G. --------------------------------- Note: Of the 27 counties whose WPA Inventories included Infirmary (poorhouse)records ... we have now posted the excerpts from 13 of them and are working on the others. We have posted: ASHLAND ATHENS BELMONT COLUMBIANA FAYETTE HANCOCK LAKE LUCAS MADISON MONTGOMERY PIKE ROSS STARK If you have recently visited the site, you may need to click on REFRESH when you get to relevant pages in order to see the NEW material. If you are new to the site, DIRECTIONS: At the homepage (linked above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then click on OHIO on the table of states. The WPA Inventories' link is at the top.

Posted on: Madison Co. Oh Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Madison/730 Surname: Montgomery ------------------------- This is like looking for a needle in a haystack but my ancestor, Shadrach Montgomery also came to Madison County, Ohio in 1803 from Pennsylvania with his mother. This is according to his obituary. However, I have grown old searching for the names of his parents without success. He took the alias of Shadrach Springer during the War of 1812 when he was captured in General Hull's surrender, which according to records was his step-father's last name. I am hoping that you may have seen this name in your researching as a possible family connection. He named children of his marriage to Isabella McCullough, Hannah, Sarah and David but then again these were very common names then. Hoping maybe there is a connection and thank you for your time. Like I said this is hoping for the impossible but crazier things have led us to solving a problem in our researching. Judy
