I just want everyone to know that I have the following sources and I am willing too do look-ups on info in these books:Abstracts and Extracts of the Legislative Acts and Resolutions of the State of Ohio: 1803-1821, Atlas of Noble County, Ohio 1876, Ohio Guide to Genealogical Resources and the Ohio Genealogical Guide, 6th edition. My interest with Monroe Co. is in the Robert, Thomas and Joseph Dodds families. Also the Rev. Alexander Bell and John D. Bell families who resided in Monroe Co., or alond the border in Grandview Twp., Washington Co. I am also interested in any info about the2nd WV Volunteer Cavalry from Monroe, Co. My G-G Grandfather Joseph Dodds was a member during the Civil War and it is my understanding that most men in that unit came from Monroe Co. I have already seen the book that was written about the Second but if anyone has any familiy stories about it I'd like to hear them. Sincerely, Lucy A.
