Dear Webmaster: I am so embarrassed. What am I doing wrong? 1. I just submitted a posting (Moose and Creighton) and find it garbled, which I can't stand! I "copied and pasted" to a blank Word doc. Then I used "edit" to eliminate the formating so that it would look like my standard font. Then I "copied and pasted" to email form. Why doesn't it look like my document? 2. I typed the 1850 census in my FTM Notes and "copied and pasted" to the same email form. It did not become garbled. Why? 3. I have many documents to post, but I will not because I can't stand messy documents. When I work diligently lining up columns, they never stay put when I move back and forth between Word doc's and FTM Notes and emails. Why do not columns line up right? Please help me!!!

Dear "Corban Goble of Bowling Green, KY" I have a Samuel Cline in my FTM database with this info in the "Notes" which I had gleaned from one of books I bought from Monroe County Genealogical Society {OGSMC]. As you can tell from the info, Benton Twp was organized from other townships, so it does not appear in the 1850 Census of Monroe Co, OH: BENTON TWP AND PIONEER SETTLERS Source: MCCOGS, "Monroe County Families" Benton Twp was the last of Monroe Co's townships to be organized. The 1850 Monroe Co Census did not include a Benton Twp, since the it was not organized until Mar 27, 1851. It is located in the south-central section of the county. It is bounded by Perry Twp on the north, by Washington Twp on the west; Jackson Twp on the east; and Washington Co on the south. The earliest settlers in the (to be) Benton Twp: Isaac Brown, in 1804 Joseph Cline, in 1804 William Cline, in 1804 John Cline, in 1805--built a cabin. Joseph and Sarah Cline Dtr. Mary Cline, b. 5 Apr 1805, was first child born. George and Christina Cline Dtr. Mary Cline, b. 6 Apr 1805, was second child born. Solomon Tice and Rose Cline married 1806--the first marriage in Benton Twp. Johnny Cline, age 2, son of William and Polly Cline--first death in Benton Twp...he was bitten by a poisonous snake. First election in Benton Twp was held 7 Sep 1851 in Brownsville. Officers elected: Trustees: John Hensell, Jacob Cline, and Jonathan Harris Clerk: Major B. Ray Treasurer: Charles Algeo Assessor: Simon Whitney Constables: Israel McWilliams and Samuel H. Cline First gristmill in boundaries of Benton Twp was built by John Cline around 1810 at the mouth of Big Lick Run. It was destroyed by fire in 1816, but rebuilt as a combination sawmill-gristmill on the site of Ring's Mill Stone House.

Marjory PETTY Austen ___________________________________________________________________________ Dear Marjory Petty Austen: In entering this data in my FTM, Monroe Co, OH, I thought I would send along a copy. I am sure you have looked at the 1850 census already, but, if not, here it is. Also, look at Peter Mann (age 53), #184 household. He is of a similar age as Sarah Moose, and he was born in PA. None of this is unusual, but there may be a connection, since they lived so closely together. William Windland (age 25) lives between the two families in household #186. And Jacob Windland (30) lives nearby in household #175. I am assuming William and Jacob were brothers. James Windland 9age 46) lives in same township in household #67.

Josiah lived in Somerset County Pennsylvania and emigrated to Marshall County Virginia (now West Virginia). In the 1840 census, at the age of 27, he was still in Somerset with two sons and one daughter. By the time of the 1850 census, he and his wife, Veronica, (ages 37 and 39 respectively) were in Fayette County Pennsylvania with seven of their children. He is listed as Josiah Meuse. Thanks to Sherry Sawchak for locating this elusive man in 1850. Josiah is believed to be of German extraction. There is some indication the name was originally Mussgenung (variously spelled Meusgenung, Musgenung, and Moosekenung) and was changed to Moose shortly after the Revolution. A family with this name arrived in Philadelphia 16 Sep 1751, but two of four sons went to North Carolina, one to New York State, and the fourth, who remained in Pennsylvania, appears not to have had any male heirs. A Jacob Mussenung arrived in Philadelphia 27 Sep 1752 and settled near Allentown Pennsylvania. He had two sons, Jacob and David. But where Josiah was from and who his forbears were, we don't know. He married young; he was just 20 when his first son was born. He may have had a sizeable inheritance because he was just 22 years old when in 1836 he purchased 160 acres of land in Somerset County for $1500. He sold it in 1839 for $2000. Later he owned land in Marshall county VA (now WV) where he appears to have been a farmer of substantial means. He was married twice. His first wife was Veronica, called Franey, by whom he had at least seven children. We have no information about Franey, including her surname. His second wife was Harriet Bungard of a prominent Fayette County PA family. Josiah and Harriet sold a 216-acre plot in Fayette County but no record of the purchase has been found. However, the 1850 census shows the value of the real estate next to Veronica rather than Josiah. Was it perhaps land she had inherited. Josiah and Harriet had two children. Josiah, Veronica, and Harriett were all members of the Good Hope Lutheran Church in Salt Lick Township, Fayette County, PA. Four of the children born to Veronica and Josiah were christened in the church. Many of the same families from Good Hope also attended services and had children baptized in other churches of the area. A number are found in the early records of the Four Mile church, now Mt. Zion, Donegal, in Westmoreland County. More research needs to be done to see if Veronica and Josiah were in this area. Also, some of the families are to be found in the early records of the Berlin Church in Somerset County. We were not able to locate Josiah in these records. The migration patterns of most of the Good Hope families was from Philadelphia, Lancaster, Frederick County, MD, New York and Bedford, then Somerset into Fayette County. The original name of the church was Gute Hoffnung, the German for Good Hope. Josiah died at the age of 45 and is buried at a small cemetery by the Clouston United Methodist Church outside of Cameron in Marshall County. His son Isaac was administrator of his estate which is recorded in the Marshall County courthouse in Moundsville. Children of Josiah and Veronica are: Isaac Moose born 17 July 1833, died 21 Oct 1915. Elizabeth Moose born 1 April 1836, died 30 Dec 1872. George Washington Moose born about 1839, died 2 Mar 1864. His Civil War Record Jonathan Baerkley Moose born 13 Dec 1841, died before 1858. Sarah Anna Moose born 24 April 1844. Leah Moose born 27 June 1846. Veronica E. Moose born 22 July, 1849, died 12 Mar 1924. Photo album for this line only Christina Moose born 19 August 1851, died before 1858. Children of Josiah and Harriet are: Benjamin Franklin Moose born 11 Jan 1855, died 27 Jan 1921. Ellis Bungard Moose born about 1857, died 1932. ___________________________________________________________________________ From: "Joyce Wilt" <DisplayMail('pa.net','jwilt');[email protected]> Subject: My Moose Family Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 02:37:45 -0400 Hi everyone, I am stuck on my family tree,I will give some of what I have, in hopes that someone of you on this mailing list can steer me in the right direction to find out where/who my Jonathan came from. 1st generation; Jonathan Moose born Apr 20 1794, Cumberland County, PA, died January 14 1863, in Andersonburg, Perry County, PA, buried at Blain Union Cemetery, Blain, Perry County, PA.

I've already sent the stuff to AL so I don't have anythng to refer to. Anyway, check those states. Cousin Mary in OK Mary Bryant Park [email protected] MOOSE-L Archives From: [email protected] Subject: Another Moose Cousin??? Date: 2 Jul 2001 18:12:20 -0600 My traceable ancestor was my g-g-g-grandfather Elias Moose, born in 1794 (maybe Germany---but still questionable) and lived probably in both Westmoreland Co., PA before either Armstrong or Indiana Counties were formed. His son, my g-g-grandfather was James Moose, born in 1836 in Indiana Co., PA. He Married in 1860---don't even chuckle!---to Elizabeth Stake. Their daughter Sarah(Sally) Moose Stokes was my g-grandmother. It is believed that Elias Moose married a Bathsheba Lowe and they operated a distillery in or around Livermore, Armstrong Co., PA. Any of this make any connection to any of you. Also, the reason that I thought it made sense to respond was that I too grew up with the family lore of Cherekee Blood from the 1700's. Also, there were stories of probable cousins in Oklahoma. Since the only Mooses that our family have ever been able to connect with are those that go back to Elias but nowhere else, we have always felt that some moved on to other places. In the interest of finding a connection through family stories, I will mention something that my aunt who is 81 told me that she had been passed down for a couple of generations. She said that "the Moose family" (I don't know which generation)had a large family and the parents were killed leaving a good number of children--several boys. The story goes that these boys were taken in by other families with the help of the itinerent minister that came through on horseback every so many months. This was an explanation that was used to explain why there did not seem to be other Moose men of the age of my g-g-grandfather James.

CLINE buried there with the same death date? Does anyone know the cause of his death? And Sarah's records show her birth on 8 March 1832 and death on 5 July 1911. One account said she died at Gravelville, OH; is that in Monroe County? Would she have remarried after Samuel's death? The records say she is buried at Low Gap Cemetery, but I can't find her on the 1994 listing. Does anyone have obituaries/death notices of either? The family was listed in the 1860 in Washington Twp., Graysville PO. All help appreciated. Corban Goble, Bowling Green, KY
