Since I've hit a brick wall on my own ancestors, I'm searching for collaterals in hopes of getting back on track. I'm looking for a James DONNELLY who had a probate (admin docket) record in 1844 in Muskingum County. His administratrix was Ann DONNELLY. This small mention (which I found on LDS microfilm #865159, docket B, p. 190) gave no other people's names, and I would like to find more on these DONNELLYs. It did not list the date of death, just a year (1844). I have the case number (#2185), but I don't know if any more information will be available elsewhere in probate. Is the Admin Docket all there is? I don't know if this James DONNELLY is a collateral relative, but he died in 1844, the approximate year that my Catharine DONNELLY in Richland County, Ohio, had her last child. I had been thinking James could have been her husband, until I saw the name Ann Donnelly as the administratrix. My DONNELLYs were born in New York but moved to Ohio about 1840-41. I don't know Catharine DONNELLY's husband's name, and in the 1850 census of Hanover Twp, Ashland County, Ohio, she is head of household and has nine children. A few of these children are also found at the same time in Ashland County and Knox County in other households in the 1850 census, so I think Catharine was a widow or was abandoned, and had to farm-out the children to make ends meet. I saw that DONNELLYs were on pages 359 and 424 of the Biographical History of Muskingum County Ohio, and perhaps someone could check on whether these could be related. However, I know there were other DONNELLYs in the 1850 census of Muskingum County, and I don't think they were related because they weren't born in New York. So I hesitate to buy the book if there's not much chance they are related. This is the only family name I'm seeking in this county. Any help and ideas will be appreciated. I'm really having trouble finding Catharine's husband's name and getting any further, as the children's death certificates had conflicting or "unknown" parents names, and civil war records of a son didn't list parents or siblings. Thank you. Jen
