In 1860, Garrison Conley and Rebecca are living in Wetzel Co., VA (now WV). That is just across the Ohio River from Monroe County. In 1870, 1880 and 1900, the family is living in Jackson Twp., Monroe County, OH. Garrison was born May 1835 and Rebecca Nov 1835. In 1910, Garrison & Rebecca are living in Pocatalico, Putnam Co., WV. That was on old US 21 north of Charleston. I presume they must have died between 1910 & 1920 as I cannot find them in that census. Gene Huffman

Conley and Sole are both familiar Monroe County names. In the 1860 census of Monroe County, (Ohio Township) there is a Garrison,15, born Ohio, in the household of William and Mary Contley. I imagine that this name is just a misreading or a misspelling of Conley.

Hello does anyone have any suggestions for preserving legal and ledger size records? I have put letter size ones in acid free sleeves and then into a notebook. However, even if you can find the legal size sleeves, they are expensive, and have to be special ordered. At least at our local Staples. They have no larger size notebooks. Thanks, Janet

Tippett will speak about the trail that became a prominent Indian thoroughfare after the construction of Fort Harmar, located at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers. More than 200 Wyandotte, Delaware, Sacs, Ottawa, Chippewa, and Pottawatomie came to that fort for the Treaty of Fort Harmar in 1788. This Indian trail was a route for commerce and trade and also used for travel and hunting. Many white captives were moved to northwestern Ohio via this trail. An excellent article about the Sandusky Indian Trail appeared in the Marietta Times on March 5, 2005 Russ Tippett is looking at eco-heritage tourism and family recreation to bring people to our region. He is a vice president at Hocking College in Nelsonville, the Dean of the School of Natural Resources, and is a member of the Morgan County Ad Hoc Committee. Russ is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Athens County Historical Society, the Morgan County Historical Society, and the Multicultural Genealogical Society. Richard Walker, a native of Morgan County who now lives in Springfield, IL, found some old maps in January that had been stored away for 20 years. These maps set him on a mission to discover the location of the Sandusky -Muskingum Indian Trail. Richard is the author of “Wolf Creek and the Muskingum.” Russ Tippett claims to be the "field man" and Rich Walker the "book worm." Together with others, they are trying to discover the location of the trail through Washington County to Fort Harmar. You won’t want to miss this special multi-media presentation by Russ Tippett. This program is free and all visitors are welcomed. Millie

I only have a few more postings. The microfilm ends March 12, 1912--and only had several issues of 1910. Evidently quite a few papers were too badly damaged to be filmed. Will be about 3 or 4 weeks before I get the next batch of film from OHS. I have scrolled past loads of detailed obituaries in these papers--I do not have time to copy them--but for those of you who are "stuck" you may find something worthwhile in these papers.
