    3. Hi All, Looked up some ROTH relatives who lived in Washington Twp. Pickaway Co. OH. Here are the families I found on the same page: Very difficult to read. Xerox printout even more difficult to read: Letters I'm unsure of or names I know but aren't on that page are within (XXX) Some ages may be off a year or two: Dwelling #599: Joshua VALENTINE 52, Margaret 51, Jacob 19, Andrew 14, Mary 13, M(i)linda 12, William ANDERSON 12 Dwelling # 600 : Saml (G?)ENKEL 60, Mary 31, Saml 18, Reuben 13, John 30, Elizabeth 21 David EASTER 26 So faint, I barely read given names and surnames: Heads of Houselholds: Dwelling #601: HOFFMAN, Dwelling #602: JOHNSTON, Dwelling #603: BOOKWALTER, Dwelling #604: YOUNG, Dwelling #605: Henry LEIST, Dwelling #606: David HOFFMAN, Dwelling #607: Catherine unreadable, Dwelling #608: Martin FOLK, Dwelling #609: Lewis SYMS Dwelling #610: Frederick (?)ENTINGER Dwelling #611: Geremiah GEIST Dwelling #612: Catherine EASTER Dweliing #613: John FRADIES - Really unsure of that surname, Dwelling #614: Thomas WELLS 60, Margaret 54, , Catherine BAILEY 10 My 2gr-grandparents: Dwelling #615: Thomas B.

(Ann) 7, John (C.) 5, Thomas (J.) 4, Henrietta (P.) 1, Mary WELLS 23 The Esther above had a middle name (unreadable)...however Thomas' wife was Esther D. GRIEST who would have been 37 in 1850 and she had 4 more children with him. So WHERE was she??? Johnathan Griest ROTH was their eldest child...??? Their next child after Henrietta, my gr-grandfather, Jonas Spatch (Specht) ROTH was born in Sept. of 1850.

(my future 2gr-grandmother, who married Thomas Bradley ROTH in 1836...3 girls were born after Esther and before Isaac, but they are not listed??? 3 more children were born before 1850...after Isaac (one died young) and THE TWO REMAINING are not listed either??? Benjamin and John #2 are not two of the 9 children??? Lucinda was their last b. in 1826..would have been 24 NOT 37??? So, I don't know who the GRISTs in Dweling #619 were??? Dwelling #620: Unreadable, Mary E, MORRIS 55, Sarah A. MORRIS 12 Dwelling #621: Samuel J. PONTIOUS 43, Leah 41, (G)enny 19 My eyes are 53 years old and the microfilm machines were difficult to read...I viewed them in 1998 and they seemed clearer then...???
