He could (just barely) be the son of the Hannah Swaney and Enoch Archer (1815-1847). Scott

Wills begin in July 1867. A courthouse fire destroyed all wills before that date. They are located in the Probate Office. You can contact that office about acquiring a copy of your ancestor's will. Probate Office (740) 472-5264, 101 N. Main Street, Woodsfield, OH 43793. In the absence of these records, you can sometimes find more information on estate settlements in the Clerk of Courts office. That office didn't lose records in any of the fires that destroyed the other offices in the 1800s. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Alohawahine75@aol.com> To: <ohmonroe@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 24, 2007 12:26 PM Subject: [OHMONROE] Would like to obtain copy of great-grandparents will > Hello list, > > Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The T.B. McCormick married in Stratford is probably Thomas Bernard who married Sarah ? - in 1850 they were living in Stratford and George Albert was living with them..... George moved on to Meigs by 1860 (he also married a Sarah ???? - between 1850-1853; their sons - James and John - were born in Monroe County in 1854 &56)). I believe Thomas and family also moved on to Meigs County before moving on to indiana. I had found the Mrs. isabella McCormick marrying in 1858, but in checking the census, she was much to young (about 40 years). Maybe her first marriage was to a son. Using the names you provided, I can now check LDS and census...... a starting point I didn't have previously. Again, thank-you for your time and effort in helping me.

After having read so many accounts of the adventures of our ancestors over the years, i seemed to "see" them along the banks of the Ohio river fighting the natives who were treed and waiting to spring out at them. I "saw" the women trying to make a comfortable home along the beautiful but rugged landscape, carrying water from the river to cook and clean. There is definitely something to be said for standing in the spot where the ancestors once were and somehow still are. I am posting many of the pictures in several locations. I have put 116 pictures from The Barber Ridge Cemetery, Woodsfield, Monroe Ohio on my blog and will be posting them to FindAgRave.com as well. I am posting specific stones to various surname projects. Here are some links to see the sones. I have just begun but will continue to add over the next week or two.

A young fellow named Kyle was manning the store and after talking to him found that his father was Doug Yoho who had lived there all of his life and I believe he said his grandfather was Robert Yoho. Kyle is researching his Civil War Yoho's as he likes to be involved in reenactment. So I guess this love for family history is being passed along. He had visited the Yoho webpages often and found a lot of helpful info there he said Well then, there you have it. I have pictures to post!
