Sandy: I can't find a marriage date for Ira. Did he have a son named B. H. Cowell? In the Portage County history there is an article about B. H. Cowell and he had a son named Ira M. Let me know if you think there is a connection and I will copy the article. B. H. Cowell, the article says. was born in Mahoning Co, Sept 15, 1837. However, Mahoning County did not exist at that time so he was probably born in Trumbull. Jackie

Hi I'm researching the family of Ira Cowell and Rachel Crays(e). I'm trying to determine when they were married. My best guess is sometime between 1835 and 1837 in Portage County. Can anyone help ? Sandy Woolson Van Nuys, CA

Terry, Thank you for that additional information. I know another Corl will find great interest in this. I will share it and save it in case it turns out to be my roots as well. Thanks again. Kathi

Surnames: MCPIKE NASH TATE Submitter: Sandra McGee ([email protected]) Date: 31 Aug 1999 My mother's parents were Emily Jane Tate and Horace Nash who lived on Kent Ravenna Road or State Route 59. They used to sell vegetable and fruit on the street side stand in front of the house. My parents were Arnold McPike and Evelyn McPike(currently residing in Las Vegas and 89 years old). Evelyn used to live on State Route 59 in Kent and worked at Kent State University. Does anyone have any information about persons with the surname of McPike? My father had two bothers who had the same father with the name of Salthouse with both changing their last names to Carson and Evans. I would appreciate any information. Thanks.

But I think I had looked up some for you (or someone else?) before and wasn't sure if I gave you these. History of Trumbull County vol 1 & 2 Upton 1909 Charles F. Corll, one of the industrious farmers, whose farm home is situated in Hubbard township, Trumbull county, is a native of Mercer county, Pennsylvania, born August 8, 1849. He is the sone of Isaac Corll, born in Lehigh county, Pa. Jan 8, 1821, and of German parentage. When ten years of age he went to Trumbull county, Ohio, where he married Harriet McClary, who was born February 20, 1823. They moved to Mercer county, where he engaged in farming. Four children were born of this union: William, now deceased; Charles F., of this notice; Lucinda, died at twelve years; Eliza, who married Peter Clark and now lives in Brookfield township, Trumbull county. The mother Harriet (McClary) Corll, died in 1862, after which Isaac Corll married Esther Patterson, of Trumbull county, and to them were born three children: Ella, who married John Lett; she is now deceased; James C., who lives in Hubbard township; Ida M., who married Luther Hibler and resides in Hubbard township. The father, Isaac Corll, was a Democrat in his political view, but never took an active part in politics further than to exercise the right of franchise. He belonged to the Methodist church, in which work he always took an active part. He followed the life of a sturdy, successful farmer, and died after a well spent life, in 1886. His second wife died in 1875. Charles F. Corll, son of Isaac and Harriet (McClary) Corll, received his education at the public schools of Mercer county, Pa. and came to Trumbull county in 1865. He carries on general farming on a farm comprising fifty acres, which is well cultivated. Mr. Corll is a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Hubbard, Ohio. He supports the Democratic party by his vote, but takes no active part in the deliberations of that organization. He has, however, held the office of school director of his township. He was united in marriage May 16, 1875, to Alice Clark, daughter of Lester and Elizabeth Clark, who lived in Brookfield township. Their family came from New Jersey at an early day and located in Trumbull county, where Alice was born and educated. Mr. and Mrs. Corll have five children: Ford, who now resides at Sharon, Pa, a foreman in the iron mills; Rillawho married James Strubble and lives in Liberty township; Plummer, who lives in Hubbard township; Susan, who lives at home; and Florence, at home.

Surnames: BUTTON Submitter: Ed Newyear ([email protected]) Date: 24 Aug 1999 Joel Button moved to Hiram Twp in 1817. Seeking the date of birth of his daughter Lydia Adel Button, ~1818.

Can anyone tell me how to go about getting info on a military land grant for someone? I know my Samuel Corl owned land in Stark Co and later in Suffield Twp. of Portage Co, but all land deed searches have come up empty. And yes, I checked <A HREF="http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/">Ohio Land Records</A>. My assumption is that he was awarded land in return for military service (lived in PA during war of 1812). Don't have exact land plot and don't have any proof he served in any military. Isn't there some way to track from a twp to a land ownership to a military award? Do I look in PA or OH? I'm pulling my hair out!

Sorry for putting this on the list, but a few days ago I received in the mail a copy of an old Farmer's Directory. It listed my ancestors, Henry & Eva HERWIG from Kent, Portage County. There was no senders name on it so I'm not sure who sent it to me. I just wanted to thank this person for sending it to me, it was a very thoughtful thing to do and I just want the person to know how much I appreciate it. There was a nice person named Bob from Ravenna that I think was on this list......Bob, if it's from you please accept my thanks. Kathy NY

this comes from anotherr list I belong to and thought it might help someone else too... ~Claudette ======================================================= 10 TIPS TO HELP YOU GET MORE FROM ONLINE RESEARCH TIME by Juliana Smith <<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>> ======================================================= 1) Think of a trip to a computer like a trip to the library. You wouldn't go to the library unprepared, so do a little preparatory work before you log on. I keep a 3-ring binder with printed pedigree charts and family group sheets on my desk. The binder also contains blank pages where I can make notes of ideas for new research strategies, sites I want to investigate later, etc. 2) With the immense array of resources available online (and new sites going up every day) it is impossible to keep track of where you have searched, when, and for what. Keeping a research log of sites visited, searches performed, and results can save much duplicated effort. I keep my log in a spreadsheet form and keep the log open as I search. Then I can simply copy/paste the URL into the document and keep track of my searches as I go. With Web sites that are constantly being updated and/or added to, you may want to go back every so often to recheck them. Your log can tell you when you last checked a site. Those with a preference for a paper copy, can use the downloadable Research Calendar at: http://www.ancestry.com/download/forms.htm to record searches. 3) Determine what information you need. While it can be fun to wander aimlessly about the Web, most of us have a limited amount of time that we can spend surfing for ancestors. Go over your research and decide what information you are looking for. Once you have decided on a particular piece of information that is missing, pursue it. 4) Don't just search for surnames. If you know your ancestors were from a particular location, find out all you can about their hometown or homeland. While learning about an area, you will often find clues that will open up new avenues of research. 5) Learn. How-to, beginner sites, and specialized sites dealing with specific record types, geographic areas, repositories, and/or ethnicity abound. Use them to locate new resources and methods for conducting your search. The Ancestry.com Learning Center contains a wide variety of information and helpful articles, all in one place at: http://www.ancestry.com/research/index.htm 6) If you don't find the information you seek online, use online sources to determine what offline avenues are available to you. 7) When you find a pertinent piece of information, make sure you record the full bibliographic citation. If it is not available on the Web site, write the webmaster and request it. Citing your sources is critical both online and off. 8) Post queries on sites like FamilyHistory.com (http://www.familyhistory.com), where large numbers of researchers visit regularly and where the people that may have the information you seek have a good chance of seeing your post. You might also want to consider posting your GEDCOM online. By submitting your tree to large collections like the World Tree (http://www.ancestry.com/worldtree/tree.htm), you can also increase your chances of locating elusive cousins. 9) Once you log off, follow through by proving your findings with original primary source documents. Online resources are secondary sources at best, and often contain errors. Additionally, there is often much more information in the original documents. 10) Have some fun with it! Every so often when you have the time, go off and explore a bit. You'll be surprised at what you can find in unexpected places! ________________________________________________________ NetZero - We believe in a FREE Internet. Shouldn't you?
