For those doing research on Noble/Monroe Cos., OH, I've put up some files that may be of interest that will help you uncover specific ARCHER surnamed persons and/or locate records of interest. 1. http://www.archercousins.com/ArcherAssn/mba.htm CHARACTER SKETCHES of Some Families in Noble County, Ohio by M.B. Archer These are unpublished pages from "The Genealogical History of the Archer Family" by M.B. Archer, F.J. Heer & Co., Columbus, 1919. Mrs. J. Allen Wheat of Aiken, SC, Martin B. Archer's niece, provided me the material that I published in "The Archer Quarterly" (now out of print). The narratives are very colorful and personal and are not necessarily limited to an ARCHER surname interest. Martin Archer also quotes from his historical novelette, "Christina" (named after Christina Crow), serialized weekly in the "Caldwell Press" from 2 March through 22 June 1910. He also comments on the origin of local slang names for place names in Stock Twp. not published anywhere else in Noble Co., OH literature.
