I'm hoping someone with lookup capabilities might provide some info on Dr Jacob G SCHAUB (physician) who appears to have resided most of his life in Monroe County. He married Elisabeth Missel in 1849 in Morgan Co and they next appear in Sardis. This was at least a second marriage for him. Children from earlier marriage(s) appear to be Margaret Ann (DENNIS), Mariah, Hannah (WINLAND), Christina (BARRACKMAN), Jacob pos married Sarah FOWLER, and Frederick who I believe is the Frederick Schaub who died at Andersonville Prison. There is another "daughter" Catharine who married Salathiel LEMMON and resided at Sardis until around the turn of the century. Birthdate was near time of Jacob's marriage to Elisabeth so not sure where she fits in. One of their children, Blanch married George TOWLE, a druggist at Sardis, around 1905. I am most interested in Dr SCHAUB and Elisabeth and in the LEMMONS. Info on Jacob's earlier marriage might help clarify things also. Thanks for any assistance any of you can provide. Nancy

I'm trying to find a record of the marriage of Andrew H. BAKER and Nancy STEPHEN (could be listed as STEEN). Undocumented information suggests they were married in 1835, most likely in one of Ohio's southeastern counties. -- Anyone able to do a look-up of Ohio marriages?? -- Thanks Hal Baker Cary, NC

Obituaries of Monroe Co.,Oh Carl Marshall Romick, youngest son of the late Edward & Nancy Romick, was born near Sardis, March 3, 1901. At the age of 48 years, 3 months and 23 days, he met his death Monday, June 27, at Youngstown, Ohio while working as a lineman for the Ohio Edison Company. He went to Youngstown 25 years ago and had been employed for the same company during that time. He was a member of the Western Star Masonic Lodge #21. Masonic services were held Tuesday evening at the Hofmeister Funeral home. Wednesday he was brought to the Rush Funeral home. On June 29, 1925 he was united in marriage to Anna Winters. He leaves his wife, also five brothers: Charles & Lawrence of Cleveland, George & Paul of Youngstown & Floyd of Sardis; two sisters, Mrs. Robert Bourne and Mrs Harry BAKER of Cleveland. A brother Ben and a sister Laura preceded him in death several years ago. Carl had many friends and he will long be remembered by his fellow employees. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Mt. Olive Church with Rev. Clyde Willis officiating. Burial was made in the church cemetery. March 17, 1926 Mention was made last week of the death of Merritt Baker, son of Clyde Baker, and a former resident of Woodsfield before moving to Peace Dale, Rhode Island. From a letter to Mr. & Mrs. William Schwall, we learn that Merritt was a foreman on a big pile-driving boat on which is a mast or derrick about 60 feet high. On the day he was killed, the crew was handling an extra large pile and the two men on the second platform were unable to pull it into position for receiving the first impact of the three-ton wieght that set it. Merritt went aloft to help put the pile in position and had started down the mast. When the engine started, a slack line stiffened suddenly and hit Merritt, knocking him against the mast. he lost his hold and fell about 30 feet to the deck of the boat, fracturing his skull at the base of the brain. His right arm and several ribs were broken and apparently he never knew what happened. The accident occured at 6:45 Friday evening and he passed away at 6 o'clock the next morning without regaining consciousness. June 35, 1942 George Baker, aged 81 years, died Tuesday morning at the home of his son, Harry, east of town, following a several months illness.

Mrs. Baker was born on September 1, 1859 and died on December 12, 1930 being 71 years, 3 months and 11 days of age.

Many arrowheads have been found, especially near the natural cavern of the Dougherty, Pickens, and Charles Foraker farms. I have been told that a stone stove and stone hatchet were found in the Foraker Cave about fifty years ago. I am told that recently, while road workmen were excavating near this cave they discovered many arrowheads, one almost whole stone hatchet, another half one, and what they believe to be a stone scalping knife. I have not seen these articles as yet. They are in the possession of Homer BAKER and James Ward, two of the workmen. Mrs. BAKER told me today that they would display them at our program together with some interesting war relics which he has in his possession.

Or rocy dells or winding rills, That ever stranger bosom thrills. No iron way they valleys know, No wires where sleepless heraids flow, Nor yet the furnace's red glow. Trade comes not with her busy feet, And learning makes not this her seat, Nor art nor science their retreat. No precious ores in hill or dale, No palm or lime tree in the vale, No orange blossoms scents the gale. No ancient palace here is seen, No ruined fort or castle e'en, Nor scikening battle-field I ween. But there is not, on any soil, More honest, generous men of toil, Than these thy sons, unstained by spoil. In hope they ever plant the seed, In faith prepare for time of need, In charity the hungry feed. And pruer winds did never blow, Nor brighter waters evre flow, Than for the sons of Old Monroe. And though thy hills may rugged be, And strangers find no charm in thee, Thou ever hast a charm for me. August 1870 by J.W.O. TSD 27 Sept 1870 Married 16th inst. at St. Clairsville, A.C.

Thou liest within the 'Buckeye' State, On the eastern border is they fate; Along thy shore flows a river fine, More beautious than the ancient Rhine; But e'er staid in this, thy pride should be, Thou art the home of true Democracy. Thy sons are noble, gallant men, As e'er held the plow or wield the pen; Their hearts are grieved at freedom's fall, But they'll bravely rally to the call. Their ensign bearing the resolution- 'We're fighting for the Constitution.' Thy memory shall be cherished far, When upon us dawns the morning star; When the thieves are put upon the chase And honest men fill every place- >From east to west, where'er you go, You'll hear them say, 'We're with old Monroe.' The shield of Democracy we'll wear And in our hands the old flag bear, And on the eleventh of October We'll vote toturn the over, And show the rogues houw they've blundered, By fully five and twenty hundred. by S.J.

John & Susan had 7 ch; dau Ruth Amelia Baker b 1833 is my gggrandmother. She m Isaac Daniel Varner in Monroe County, 20 Aug 1855. Would be delighted to hear from anyone researching this Baker family line. Appreciatively, Ellen Bisson mailto:thebissons@worldnet.att.net

Any info would be useful. > Angie, I checked my database for the name Mary HUTCHINGSON/HUTCHINSEN, etc. I don't have anything on her. However, I do not have the entire CLINE Family Tree on my data base. I do know that John was a favorite name of my branch of the CLINES. However, every John that I have a record of also shows someone else as their wife. I will keep your query and will do a lookup when I get some reference material back from a friend to whom I loaned it for two weeks. In the meantime, I did a quick query on http://www.usgenweb.org working my way through to Monroe County and I did discover that your inquiry for this info is not the only one going on. I have copied the post I found below: <Martha Crozier Johnson <Researcher Profile <emailCLINE <HAUGHT <HUTCHENSON <JENKINS <JOBES Posted: 28 Jan 1998 <Researching several families of Monroe county.

I will be getting my reference material with the Cline Family Tree by Feb. 22, 1999.

The only one that I didn't address was the Ice connection. The only Ice that I have any documentation on is my ggrandmother, Sarah Ann ICE b. about 1825, married Gideon CLINE about 1850. The only child of theirs that I have any information about is my grandmother Mary Ann CLINE who married Thomas A. DIXON. I have not explored the ICE connections as yet, so I can't really tell you anything about her family. As far as I know, I have no WILLIAMSONS or POWELLS in my family tree. However, as you have surely learned by now, the geneology ball game tends to throw a lot of curves - so who knows, we may be cousins and not know it. As far as the Halls in my research are concerned, there is only one thus far; M.J. (Mattie) Hall, who married my maternal ggrandfather James Owen Wakefield McElroy. They were married in Franklin, TN on 13 Jun 1876. I have no other information on her except that family tradition says she was a full blood Cherokee Indian that refused to be associated with the Indians (or enrolled in the rolls) because of the stigma attached. As much as I would like to say yes, unless you can tie in with one of these individuals, my response has to remain - I don't know. Have you checked out Joanne Barber's sites that were included in my response to her query yesterday? She also has several of these family names in her trees and the URLs are included in my response. Good luck in your pursuit. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ Maryann Dixon Moseby Mailto: dixlan2@aol.com ICQ: 1631995, AOL IM: dixlan2 Geneology Lines: BUCHANAN, BUCK, CLINE, DIXON, FIGLEY, HABARLE/HEBERLY, HALL, HYDER, ICE, KING, McCLENDON, McELROY, McVAY, MOSEBY, MOSIER ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

What are the dates on your Samuel Newton Dixon? Where was he born? What are the dates on his parents and where are they from? I know quite a bit about my Samuel Dixon's descendants, but absolutely nothing about him except where and to whom he was married and the fact that he lived some years in Monroe County, OH because my grandfather, his son Thomas, was born there 7/6/1855 and lived there all his life. He was married to Delilah Figley on Jan. 1 (or 3), 1839, in Harrison County, OH. Family tradition says that Samuel was born about 1815, in Richmond, VA - whether Richmond the city or the County, I don't know. I am currently looking at land transfers in OH for that period of time. It looks like there was at least two Samuel Dixons living in OH at the same time. If you can give me any more information on your Samuel Newton Dixon, we might be able to clear up this mystery. I certainly hope you have more information on your ancestor than I have been able to find on mine.

However, since I have only the two documented, Your McVays could very will be related and probably were. .4 BARNETT WILLIAMSON1884 - 1963 ..........................+GRACE CLINE Your Grace Cline leaves me puzzled. I have several Clines in my tree and have traced them all the way back to Northern Germany to George Cline Sr. who was born in Northern Germany in about 1740. His son, John Cline Jr. was the father of Gideon Cline. My paternal grandmother was Mary Ann Cline, daughter of Gideon Cline. John Cline, Jr. was married to Elvira McVay. That makes them my gggrandparents. Thus the two lines in my family tree. However, John and Elvira had 17 children and I don't have the descendants for all of them. I imagine that is where your Grace Cline comes in. As far as the Halls in my research are concerned, there is only one thus far; M.J. (Mattie) Hall, who married my maternal ggrandfather James Owen Wakefield McElroy. They were married in Franklin, TN on 13 Jun 1876. I have no other information on her except that family tradition says she was a full blood Cherokee Indian that refused to be associated with the Indians (or enrolled in the rolls) because of the stigma attached. I appreciate your trying to help me, but it looks like, in this case, there is no immediate match. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ Maryann Dixon Moseby Mailto: dixlan2@aol.com ICQ: 1631995, AOL IM: dixlan2 Geneology Lines: BUCHANAN, BUCK, CLINE, DIXON, FIGLEY, HABARLE/HEBERLY, HALL, HYDER, ICE, KING, McCLENDON, McELROY, McVAY, MOSEBY, MOSIER ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Regarding 82/7/99 posting on Andrew Dixon (Rev War). Shirley, I have an Andrew Dickson/Dixon but he had no daughter, Massie. He is the father of Scott Dickson from Monroe County. He was born in Ireland, lived in Pa., Jefferson and Monroe Counties in Ohio, then ended up in Ottawa Co. Kansas. These are probably different Andrews, but I'll keep my eye open for something on your line. Milton McWilliams

Regarding 2/6/99 post for Samuel and Scott Dickson. My gggrandfather, Alexander McWilliams served with Scott in the civil war. Alexander, Scott and Robert Armstrong, who I believe was a half brother to Scott, enlisted together in the 116th Ohio Vol. Inf. At the battle of Winchester in June of 1863, Robert was killed and Scott and Alex were captured. I understand that Scott died in captivity. Alex escaped and later returned to his unit. Scott's place of death was Georgia, he may have been at Andersonville but I have no documentation. After the war Alex returned to Monroe County and married Scott's sister, Harriet. They moved to Nevada Mo. and then about 1868 joined Scott's sister, Margaret in Sedgewick County Kansas. Margaret married Alexander Garrett and were among the first settlers in what is now Derby Kansas. In 1874 Alex and Harriet moved to Texas. The Dickson and McWilliams families were together in Jefferson County Oh. then went to Monroe on land grants in the 1830's. I have some research done by Margaret Garrett, granddaughter of Alexander and Margaret Garrett. I would like very much to exchange information with someone from the Dickson family. MIlton McWilliams
