Rebecca dod 1842 age 65 w/o William I recommend you contact the Belmont Co., Court House and request birth and death records for these folks and that will help you determine who is related to whom. I would also check for their wills. I have grouped them as they are listed in the book, in that manner, you know at least some of the family groups. Good luck with your research.
