Is there somewhere a person could look for the death date for Mary RUSH, wife of David RUSH? He died 1852. He was in the 1850 census with his son Willets RUSH. In the 1850 census they had Mary as 73 yrs old. Thank you, Pam

Do you know where he is buried, I can look in the cemetery books for the county. I have all of them. OHIO BIRTH AND DEATH RECORDS Birth and Death Records for Ohio begin on a statewide basis in 1867. Some CITIES, E.G., Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Youngstown, MAY have started earlier than the state. They created them to track diseases in certain neighborhoods, or within the city, so that they could determine if a number of people were dying from the same disease in a given location. This was important to the health departments. In the rural counties, which is most of the state, keeping these records was not mandated by state law until, as I have said, 1867. HOWEVER, In many cases we have found that it was almost 20 years or about 1885 before the law was being fully implemented by the various counties. In 1908, the law was changed and Departments of Health began to record the births and deaths in the state of Ohio. All the Births and Deaths recorded in the state of Ohio, FROM 1867- 1908?? (SOME COUNTIES CONTINUED TO RECORD THEM IN THE PROBATE COURT BOOKS UNTIL 1910) have been microfilmed and can be borrowed at your local Family History Center. The index to DEATH records after that date is available online through the Ohio Historical Society. The last time I checked it was from 1908-1944. You can then order the death certificate from them for that period. Death Certificates after that date are available. Look online at the Ohio Vital Records Cite. It is a government cite.
