I am interested in any information in regard to Waldron and Osborn Thanks Rose

Can anyone tell me how to find the birth records of Portage Co. for 1805? Were there any? Searching for Joseph Bradford, b. 1807, son of Moses and Anna Ward Bradford. They had 11 children. The first 3 thought to be born in Portage Co., OH. The rest in Hocking Co., OH.

I'm looking for info about David Giddings, who lived in Franklin Mills, upper village, between about 1837 and 1840. He married Charlotte Barton on 29 Nov 1835 in Portage County. Charlotte was born 27 Sep 1807 in Mansfield, Tolland, CT. Charlotte's father, Elkanah Barton, died in CT in 1829, and her mother, Ann Starkweather, seems to have died in the early thirties. Charlotte had a brother, Horace Barton (married Belinda Gore in 1835), who was in Streetsboro in the mid thirties (and witnessed Charlotte's will in 1840), and a sister, Laura Barton (married Rufus E. Beman), who seems to have been in Franklin Mills in 1840. Charlotte, ill after the birth of a child, Darwin Barton Giddings, died 28 Jan 1840. Darwin died 23 Mar 1840, aged 2 months. Both were buried in Stow Street Cemetery. In 1840, after the deaths of his wife and child, David Giddings sold his house. Apparently he left Portage County. Any information or clues as to where he came from and where he went will be greatly appreciated! Jeff

Chris Thank you so much! Yes, it does help a lot and appreciate you taking the time to send this to me. I am now wondering if Elisha Carrier was related in some way to the other Carrier family that was there.

Jan, Don't know if this helps at all, but I've transcribed the stones that could be read at West Lawn Cemetery in Brimfield, and there are 6 Carrier's in that cemetery. One was killed in the Civil War and is actually interred in Knoxville TN. Another has a GAR marker at his stone. Most of the settlers of Kent and Brimfield were from Connecticut, and this area was known as the Connecticut Western Reserve. I'll see what I can dig up about that for you. You can see the transcription on my website here: <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ohiocem/westlawnbrimcem.htm">http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ohiocem/westlawnbrimcem.htm</A> If I can help with anything else, let me know!

The only mention so far of HOSKIN/HOSKINS is for a LABAN HOSKINS. It's a little poem about him in the Hiram section. Let me know if you would like a copy. I will keep your name in case I come across it later on. Briana Caccamo
