Sandy My line of the family moved to Ashland County in the early 1900's from Monroe and Belmont. too. Now who were Columbia Isabelle Baker's parents. You and I must be cousins too ! Were your Denbow's school and or music teachers in Ashland County? I do believe those Lewisville Winlands are related to me. How fun! I dont see Dillon's in my tree but that could just be that I havent connected them yet. randi SANDYGRAMMA1@aol.com wrote: Hello, Boy, I am seeing some people that are distantly related to me! My Baker line follows along the same lines. My Great-Grandmother, Columbia Isabelle Baker, is where I believe my family branches off, in another direction. She married John Feiber, and they lived on Barber Ridge, south of Lewisville, Ohio. My Dad, and his brothers, were born, in Lewisville. Our family line left Monroe County at the beginning of WW II, and moved around for a small period of time, until settling in Sullivan, Ashland County, Ohio. John and Belle's daughter, Mary Lou Etta and her husband, Carl Denbow, Sr., are buried in Sullivan, Ohio. There were relatives living up this way. Castener, or Kastener, lived in Savannah, Ohio. They were related to the Baker family. There are Winlands living, in Lewisville, that are my Dad's cousins. I still keep in touch with them. Are you part of the Dillon family? If so, we are related again, through that family.

Randi, I live near the national road in WV. I have BAKER,YOHO, and WILAND in my genealogy. My FRYMAN ancestors came to Belmont Co in early 1800s from Shenandoah Co. Va. By my analysis they came thru Southwestern Pa.,(Ft Redstone) to the Wheeling area and then to Belmont Co., OH. My ggg grandfather John(possible middle name -Thomas) Fryman lost his first wife along this route or slightly after 1800 in Belmont Co. If I can be of help, let me know. Charles A.

I am going to Ohio again this summer for another genealogical visit and part of our plan is to travel the National Road through Ohio >W. Va >and PA I am researching several lines of my family who followed this trail and will visit cemeteries along the way. If I had understood the geography of the area including the National Road, it would have made my genealogical searching much easier. My Triplett ancestors onwed land and the National Road ran through a far corner of their property. Day after day they watched a seemingly endless procession of horses and wagons going out west until they finally joined the parade and went to Zanesville Ohio. After a few years they got back on the trail and settled a military land warrant in Bureau County Illinois. I mapped all of this out one day and realized that they had followed the National Road. It was a real "duh" moment for me. Now when I work on a particular families movement I get out the vintage online maps and see what possible routes they took. I had for years been researching my paternal line of Capt John Baker who lived in Catfish Camp, also Redstone Old Fort during the Revolution. Simultaneously I had been researching my maternal line of Quaker Tuckers from Washington County PA. If I had gotten out my trusty dusty map I would have realized they were in the same place. There are some Bowles's families who lived in this general area in Belmont and Monroe Counties . The National Road would have been easily accesible for their migrations. I went to the www.wheelingcvb.com and requested info. They mailed a very nice map and the 2 brochures of the areas around the National Road free of charge. There are other websites for historical maps which you can find through Google Images . On USGENWEB you will find some very well done infoby visiting Ohio's Belmont, Monroe,and Noble Co websites. Another terrific site which compliments all of this is Alan Buckinghams MidAtlantic Archives site focusing on early PA. And finally the Ohio Memories webpages http://www.ohiohistory.org/index.html features a terrific lot of info on the National Road.

It closed in 1940. Not sure of the location as I am not real familiar with the area back there in the country. I have one more place to check for you. Will get back with you on it.
