Posted on: Monroe Co. Oh Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Monroe?read=162 Surname: McMahon, Bradley, Hanlon, Burns, Wilgus, Schneider, Bachman, Marti, Reusser, Tschanz, Paulson, Alexander, Barkes, Burris, Merrical, Myers, Huffman, Stewart, Ullom, Smith ------------------------- In the book Family Research in Monroe County, Ohio, Volume I, published by the Monroe Chapter OGS, Catharine Fedorchak wrote, on page 71, that she believed Joseph Minor (ca 1794-22 Feb 1854), listed in 228/228 in Center Twp by the 1850 census with wife Mary and son Solomon, to be a son of Theophilus Minor (26 May 1770-02 Mar 1851). This is the closest thing I've found to verification that Theophilus was Joseph's father. Joseph had three children that I know of 1. Levina (23 Feb 1818-27 Jan 1857) m. 1839 Monroe Co. Taylor Jefferies 2. Margaret (12 Dec 1823-08 Jun 1887) m. Abraham Jefferies, and 3. Solomon (ca 1828-?) m. 28 Nov 1850 Monroe Co. Lavina Jane McMahon. Because of the gap between the birth of Levina and Margaret, and that between Margaret and Solomon, I suspect that Joseph had additional children. Solomon had seven children that I know of 1. Sarah (ca 1853-?); 2. Margaret (ca 1854-?) m. 22 Jan 1874 Monroe Co. William Harvey Howell; 3. Thomas (ca 1856-?); 4. Joseph (ca 1858-?); 5. Elmer E. (ca 1866-26 Mar 1868); 6. Ida (11 Mar 1869-27 Apr 1926) m. ? Hornbrook, and 7. Mary B. (ca 1876-Sep 1878). I regret that I do not have any information about Matilda Moffett or the Howell family. I have a great deal of information about the McMahon family and will contact you about them. Bill McMahon

George was married to his first wife, Elizabeth, with children John and Mary.

Nehemiahs parents were Samuel Crosson died ca. 1800 in Pa. and Cornelia Sampson known as Widow Smith in Ohio and buried Barnesville, Ohio.

I am searching for some assistance with my Mathews line. Nancy Mathews (born 1828 in Ohio), my 3rd great-grandmother, was married to Abraham Mellott. They lived in Monroe County, Ohio. In looking for candidates for her father, I find a John Mathews in 1840 who has a female in his household that falls into the right age bracket. He is a bit old (btw 60-70), but the oldest female is younger (btw 40-50). If anyone has any further information on any of these Mathews, I could use a lead on this one.
