Judy, What can you tell me about the migration of the Fox family of Stark Co? The Foxes were good friends of Orins... trying to establish when they came and left OH. Were your Foxes ever in Lancaster area in the 1800's? Kathi

OHIO There is a Chauncey Hawley in Palmrya list in 1816. He is in Storesborough (Paris) in 1820. I could give you some names of Hawleys that were in school in 1832-1838 if you need them. Terry [email protected]

Brian: The Ravenna Reed Memorial Library have the cemetery books with the Hawley cemetery readings. Also, the Portage County Historical Society have them and their hours are Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday 2-4.

Thanks for the offer to do the lookups for the Hawley Cemetary. I actually live in Portage County, so I might be able to find the records somewhere around here. If you can tell me where I can get a copy of the records myself, that might be easier for both of us. Brian The End

Brian, I am not sure what information you are looking for regarding the Hawleys. I have the Hawley Cemetery book which lists those buried in Hawley Cemetery, Paris Township. If you are interested in a look-up, let me know. As to Berkshire County, many of the early settlers of Paris Township migrated from that area. My Wilson family lived in Sandisfield and the Selby family also lived in Massachusetts before migrating to Portage County.

Surnames: FOUST FOSS HIMEBAUGH SNYDER Submitter: ynthia Daley ([email protected]) Date: 25 Dec 1999 Hello! I am researching a marriage of a Mary Foust to Jacob Himebaugh, in Stark County, Ohio, on April 30, 1837. Is it possible that you might be able to place her in a Foust family? I believe that she would have been born about 1816, as she appears consistently at that age in the 1850 and 1860 Portage County census records, along with her husband and children. She married Jacob Himebaugh, who seems to have been born in Pennsylvania, and has moved to Ohio with his 2 brothers, Peter and George. (All appear in the 1850 and 1860 censuses in Portage County, Ohio). It is not clear just where in Pennsylvania they came from... I will appreciate any help you may be able to give me - I have just discovered these records, and am just beginning to search for Mary's family.

Can someone who lives in the area help Mark?

Hi Janet, Have we corresponded on Jared before? If so, please excuse my poor memory. If not maybe we have genealogy data to exchange. We know Jared was born in Brandford, CT and was married in Blandford, MA. We think he lived in Greenbush, NY in 1800 and moved to Portage county about 1810. If you know different or have more info please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you.

Surnames: KNOWLTON KING HIGLEY Submitter: William D. Allen Sr. ([email protected]) Date: 20 Dec 1999 We have been unable to determine where our Jared Wright KNOWLTON came from when he migrated to Portage County. He was born in Connecticut, married in Massachusetts to Molly KING, and may have lived in Rensselaer County, New York before Portage County. It might be that he migrated to Ohio with other New England families shortly after the War of 1812, since he was a veteran of that war. Their son, William, married Charity HIGLEY. Any help would be greatfully appreciated.

Historical accounts of the GOSS and ROGERS families coming to Portage County: Part 1 Submitted by: Claudette M. Beerman-Rogers Ebenezer Goss, with his family, from Plymouth, Conn., moved in Nov. 24. The family consisted of his wife, Bede, who died in 1819, aged fifty-six, and children: Polly, who married Abisha Chapman; David, who died in 1848, aged sixty-three; Carver, who moved to Suffield and returned to Randolph about 1837 and died in 1879, aged eighty-three. Mr Goss left Plymouth June 13, taking the southern route, crossing the Hudson River on a boat, and passing through Pennsylvania, crossing the Alleghenies and coming to Pittsburg, and then up the valley of the Beaver, reaching Canfield July 29, having been forty-six days on the road. From Canfield Mr. Goss came to Atwater, and finally to Randolph, and, when he arrived, had one dollar in cash. He was a blacksmith and built a shop near the creek west of the center, where he worked and settled on the southside of Lot 57. (pg. 22) John Goss, a brother's son of Ebenezer, came here from the Wyoming Valley (Luzerne Co.) Pa., one of the Connecticut settlers of the Wyoming, and settled on the westside of Lot 77. He was a great hunter, and died in 1829. (pg. 23) Money was almost unknown. Contracts for the sale of land were drawn up, omitting many technicalities as per specimen: " Nov 18, Franklin. This may certify that I,Bela Hubbard, agreed to sell Mr. Goss 77 acres of land in the southeast corner of Lot 57, in the condition of his paying for said land two dollars and one-half per acre, as witness my hand. Bela Hubbard. To be paid in grain for five years, and yearly payments with interest rated. Bela Hubbard." (pg. 25) Now a grist mill was made near Ebenezer Goss; consisting of the top of a stump hollowed out by fire, and a pestle six or eight feet long, made of a stake of hard wood attacked to a sapling, which served as a spring pole. (pg. 26) Accidents were not inknown. When E. Goss first stopped over night in a cabin near the creek, a shelf was put up, supported by sticks between the logs. During the night these sticks were pushed by cattle rubbing against them, which caused a fall in the crockery on the shelf. (pg. 26) In 1807, William Rogers, of Lyme, Conn., came in and also Isaac Ransom. They commenced an improvement in Lot 89, where Rogers lived and died. (pg. 27) In December, Elnathan Jennings (a brother-in-law of John Goss) and family came from the Wyoming Valley, in Pennsylvania, and settled in the Hollow. He was a carpenter, and, after a few years, left his family, went down the river and was never heard from by his wife, who was left with several children in destitute circumstances. (pg. 27) Springfield township, embracing Randolph, Suffield, Tallmadge, Portage and Coventry, was organized the first Monday in April, 1808. The following named persons from what is known as Randolph voted at this election: Timothy Culver, Ebenezer Cutler, Oliver C. Dickerson, David Goss, Ebenezer Goss, John Goss, Joseph Harris, Bela Hubbard, Eliakim Merriman, Jeremiah Sabin, John Sabin, Abel Sabin, Jehiel Savage, William Thorton, Arad Upson and Calvin Ward. Sixteen out of thirty-four voteeers lived in Randolph. (pg. 28) Richard Rogers, Sr., of Lyme, and his family moved in and settled on Lot 78 where he died in 1836.
