To Teresa North Tompkins: I have these names in my family history: BARKHURST, Margaret Jane b. 25 Sep 1844 in OH. Died 13 Nov 1886 Union (Morgan Co., ) OH. Married 14 Aug 1861 in Morgan Co., OH to Henry G. McELFRESH (1835-1892). Their son, William Lewis McELFRESH m. Susan Mary McPEAK (1868-1951), a daughter of my ancestors William Henry McPEAK & Julia Ann SMITH. VICKROY, Thomas married 30 Jan 1859 in Morgan Co., OH to Elizabeth McPEAK the daughter of Richard McPEAK and Mary AUMILLER. I am tracing McPEAK folks in Morgan Co., OH early 1800's forward and would like to have information about any of these and their collateral lines. Can we share information? Does anything here sound familiar to you? Nadine Gauthier Heppell, Sonoma Co., CA

Terri, Hi! I don't know your Susan Brown. Unless there is some that's tied into the Riley family but I haven't gotthat far it. But I do have a Jane Mcarty that's married to a Reuben Riley that I am interest in. I also have some other Riley's also. Would this Susan Brown be married to a Riley cause I have a Susan Riley. When was she born. The one I have was born in 1866. Talk later. Thelma

Since there have been some Smith queries recently, I thought I would post mine again. I am researching Miranda Smith, b. 1811 in Belmont County, OH and died in Morgan County, OH in 1887. Married John Harris in Sangamon County, IL in 1829. I believe her father may have been Samuel Smith, an early settler of Penn Township, but have no proof. Miranda's parents moved to in 1829 to Sangamon County, IL. Cheryl Arver

I would be interested in learning about the migration to Kansas myself. My Hiram Haines and his second wife Mary Knox went west about 1880 or so. They didn't stay in Kansas long and ended up settling in Missouri. terri

Several families moved from the Morgan County, Ohio area to Kansas in the late 1800's. My Henderson family was one of those families. Would appreciate any information on the subject. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROBERT HENDERSON (1826 PA - 1903 KS) married: 1849 MARY ANN ROWLAND (1831 - 1909 KS) children: Nathaniel G Henderson Esther Henderson (1852 - 1919 Solomon, KS) George C Henderson Mary Hendersn Charles R Henderson William Henderson (1858 - 1946 Solomon, KS) John Henderson (1859 - 1887 Solomon, KS) Isabelle Henderson Winters (1861 - 1946 Solomon, KS) Jacob Solomon Henderson (1863 - 1947 Harvey Co, KS) m: Harriet Dorflinger Calvert Columbus Hendersn (1868) m: Ella Cora Donmyer Silva S Henderson Charles O Henderson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karen Henderson doty_carstensen@msn.com

Can't help you but I have an Ann SMITH who married William KEEVER in Jefferson County 1 MAR 1827 who then moved to Morgan County (Centerville in Center Twp.) Maybe they are related. I will keep my eyes open.

In 1850 there was a family of Fishers. Joseph and Judith. They had listed with them children, John, Elizabeth, Thomas, Hannah, Mary J., Rachel and Ruth A. According to other researchers both parents died before 1860 and the children must have been spread out. I think I found Rachel with an uncle in Belmont co., OH and perhaps John and Thomas were in Washington Co., OH for a while. Believe that Joseph was married prior to Judith to a Hannah Harry who must have died. He had two children by this marriage, William and Sarah. Joseph's family was Quaker and the children William and Sarah were removed to Morgan County MM after Joseph moved to Morgan Co., but they are not listed as living with him in 1850. Does any of this family ring a bell with those of you researching the Fisher families in Morgan Co.? Joseph was born about 1804. Children of the second marriage were born between 1833 and 1847. Perhaps some of the other Fisher's took the kids in. Thanks.

Hello all, Since the Smith name has come up. I'll pitch in too. My grandfather was Irving James Smith, born in Morgan County in 1907. He was the son of Aaron Thomas "Tom" Smith (1975-1949) and Rachel Mathilda (Dewees) Smith (1877-1948). Tom Smith was a school teacher. He was in turn one of the three sons of Stephen (1839-1929) and Elizabeth (Roberts) Smith (1845-1926). Stephen was a son of Thomas K (1813-1890) and Elizabeth (Starbuck) Smith (1816-1901). Thomas K Smith's parents were David (1776-1844) and Judith (Kirk) Smith (1776-1848). David and his sons were among the first settlers of Marion Township. I would be interested in hearing from any descendants. --- Dan Treadway postal: P. O.

This is just a quick note to let you know that all seems to be back going again. The county pages are now back online, as are the mailing lists. I just got back access to be able to update the pages, so be patient if you sent updates for me to take care of. So now that we are going again, how about some posts! Let's find some more connections or try to help each other with research problems!

The 1820 Ohio census lists two people named Michael George on the same census page in Morgan County. The index, I believe erroneously refers to the younger as senior, when I believe it's an abbreviation for "second". Both men appear on the same page of that census along with the elder's sister Margaret Longstreth and a Robert Rose. My second great grandfather Isaac Rose married Robert Rose's daughter Catherine in 1833. Both men named Michael had children in the correct age brackets, that either could be the father of Isaac George, born in 1809. My questions include: Can anyone identify which Michael is Isaac's father? Can anyone verify that Michael the second is Michael's son or nephew? Can anyone find an index to identify reference numbers for estate records or wills in Morgan County, that I might be able to order copies of anything that exists for either Michael George, hoping to find a reference to Isaac? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Mike Beckley at msb@core.com
