Searching for information concerning the land of George Gates (Belmont Co,) Can anyone look up Deed Book, Vol. M, p. 8, Probate Records, Belmont Co., OH? If not, can anyone tell me how to request a copy from the courthouse & the cost? This is purported to have been a military land grant. Can anyone tell me how to access military land grant records from the National Archives - do I need a special form? Any help here will be appreciated. Shirley Shore.

Thank You, Connie Barries Staff, Cumberland Trail Genealogical Society (CTGS)

Hi , Has anyone sent to the county for a birth certificate? I have found the adress , but never information concerning the fee, if you could help me I sure would appriciate it. I'm reading " THE OHIO FRONTIER" by Douglas Hurt. It is very informative, Indians,land speculaters,and reasons for settlement in areas all over the state. Thought I would mention this as maybe its just as important to understand the people as to find them. Thanks so much if you can help, Reta

Hi There! I am just starting my research in Woodsfield. Can someone tell me how much it costs for an uncertified copy of a death certificate from the Health Department? Martha

Hi, Can any one tell me about George Walters and Rachel Davis, Woodsfield 1872, or their family? Thank you, Reta

Hello to the list, I just subscribed to the list. Hoping someone has knowledge of the Terry family below. Part of this family shows up in the 1880 census of Pleasants co, WV. The father, Francis, is apparently deceased by then. It is believed most or all of the children were born in Ohio. Samuel Terry lists his birthplace as Monroe co, OH. on his marriage certificate. He changed his surname to ATKINSON before his marriage in 1882 in Pleasants co. I'd really appreciate a lookup in any Monroe co. Census before 1880. I'll share information on this family, and also I have census, marriage and death books for Pleasants, Ritchie and Doddridge counties, and will do lookups. Descendants of Francis Terry Generation No. 1 1. FRANCIS TERRY was born in England. He married ANNE ROBINSON. She was born 1802 in Painton in York, England. Children of FRANCIS TERRY and ANNE ROBINSON are: i. WILLIAM ROBINSON TERRY, b. Jul 14, 1826; m. HESTER ?; b. Abt. 1826, OH. ii. JOHN TERRY, b. Jan 10, 1828. iii. GEORGE TERRY, b. Jan 30, 1830; m. SARAH C. TATE, Aug 25, 1870, Ritchie Co, WV; b. 1847, Augusta co, VA. iv. ALICE TERRY, b. Oct 9, 1832. v. JANE TERRY, b. Jan 16, 1835; m. HENRY LAMP, Jul 16, 1874, Pleasants co, WV. vi. ABIGAL TERRY, b. Jul 4, 1849. vii. SAMUEL TERRY/ATKINSON, b. Jan 27, 1856, Monroe co, OH; m. NANCY LANDORA JORDAN, 1882; b. 1858, OH; d. 1924. -- Best Regards Earl Cowan mailto:ecowan@weir.net, http://www.weir.net/~ecowan http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/o/w/Earl-R-Cowan/

Henry Huffman (age 44) and his wife Maria (age 42) are living in Benton Township in the 1870 Monroe Co., Census. I am searching for any descendants of this family who might know Maria's maiden name and hopefully her parents. Believe she might be a Dye - no proof, just a hunch. Thanks, Jerilyn
