There are 2 printed county histories for Madison: 1) The History of Madison County by W. H. Beers and Co. dated 1883. It was reprinted in 1990 by the Madison County Historical Society. 2) History of Madison County Ohio, Its People, Industries and Institution by Chester E. Bryan dated 1915. This one was reprinted by the Historical Society in 1994. The second book provides this address for the society: Madison County Historical Society PO Box 124 London, Ohio 43140 If that doesn't work, the Madison County Public Library in London can probably give you a contact name and address. In the meantime, I have both books and I'll be glad to look something up for you. Sherry

There are some copies in the Columbus Metropolitan Main Library referece section. There's a 1915 version and 1888 version, I believe. +----------------------------------------------------+ | Dave Fultz, Jr. | | CC Madison County OHGenWeb | | http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohmadiso/ | | http://members.xoom.com/gitarzan | | http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gitarzan/ | +----------------------------------------------------+ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeannine R.

About 10 years ago, I visited my great aunt in London and she had a reprint copy of the History of Madison County Ohio. Is this book still available and/or is there some place I can still obtain a copy? I know the FHL in Salt Lake has a copy but I am not certain it is ok to photocopy it. Anyone have any ideas?

Posted on: Madison Co. Oh Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Madison?read=535 Surname: Osborne, Lee, Springer, Richards ------------------------- I know little about John Lee prior to his marriage to Mary Richards in Fayette County, OH in 1813. They resided in Madison County in 1820-1830. John was born in Virginia about 1787. Mary/Polly Richards was born in KY about 1797. Possibly, Harrison County. She was the daughter of Arnold Richards and Susannah Bonn, who were married in Harrison County, license signed by Wm. Moore, Clerk 19 July 1796. It was witnessed by Henry B. Barton. Most of their children were born in Madison Co., OH. I believe this is the same John Lee, with 13 in family, living in Henry Co., Iowa in 1840. Among others, there is also a Richard Lee with 5 in family, living in Henry Co.. John Lee died about 1870 in Delaware Co., Iowa If any of this sounds familiar, please let me know.

Hello researchers on this list, I'm seeking what they did more than who is whom so I ask innocently the following question? In Madison County is the township of New Caanen. My third great grandparents, Nahum Amos and Serepta Howe (Norton) King arrived there in about 1810 give or take a year. They were married in the Lebanon Springs area of the King's District in Columbia County, New York in 1807. They went first to Genesis county. At that time Genesis County was all the land in New York west of the Genesis River. They returned to Clinton County where Serepta Howe Norton's maternal grandparents the Howe family were buried while they were there. Shows how close in contact the family remained over the years. They next appear in the pension file for the War of 1812 with the Ohio militia. When they left Clinton County New York they had two infant daughters, Saretta was the oldest and Lucretia was a new born. When they left Madison County they are next found in Franklin county. In Madison they had birthed a total of 14 more children. Three of those died not as infants in New Caanen. James Russel, Hannah and one other I heard but don't know that they lost these children to epidemics. My second great grandfather recalled to his granddaughter (My grand aunt) before 1900 that he was put to work in the fields by his father along side in his words colored folks who teased him of his smile and red hair. He said that he turned 8 the first year after leaving Madison county. My third great grandfather did not believe in slavery did not participate in it and neither did his father. He also believed in a partnership with his spouse. He hired his help in all shapes and sizes for the work that needed to be done. I assume that by now you know that I am searching for bits and pieces of the families life in Madison County, Ohio. What took the lives of the youngsters? Oh yes the family history URL has Hannah listed as the same Hannah born five generations earlier in the same line1629 dying in 1828. I would guess that this is a stretch. He says with a grin. Does anyone in Madison County connect to this family or his brother William who had two children? Besides Nahum and William in Madison County there are eight more siblings Horace, Hiram, Luther and Betsy (Elizabeth) are just four of them. Dan
