Hi, A couple years ago, a kind researcher on this list sent me information about land that a Regannah SMITH deeded to her son, Cornelius. We considered the possibility that this Regannah SMITH could be my ggg grandmother, Rowena or Regina SMITH, who lived in Richland Co. We thought that, since records I know to be my ggg grandmother's spelled her name as differently as "Rowena" and "Regina," that it would make sense to consider that "Regannah" could also been a spelling in the records of my ggg grandmother's name. I have no idea which is the correct spelling, but want to consider all possibilities. This week a Smith researcher contacted me with new clues, so I am again trying to research the various SMITH clues. My ggg grandmother and her daughter, my gg grandmother, Maria/Mariah SMITH, moved to Richland Co. from Stark Co. in the 1840s sometime after the death of Maria's father, Jeremiah SMITH. Probably the only reason a widow and her daughter would have moved such a distance is that they must have had family in Richland Co. There is a Jeremiah SMITH listed in the 1840 Census who was exactly the right age to be my gg grandmother, Maria SMITH's brother. It's very possible that this Jeremiah SMITH and other siblings could have been the reason my gg grandmother and her mother moved to Richland Co. after the death of Maria's father, Jeremiah SMITH in Stark Co. I would be tremendously grateful for any information list members may have and would love to find cousins who may be members of this list.

Hi List Members, I believe that Jeremiah SMITH listed in the 1840 Richland Co Census as a 20 to 30 year-old male is my gg grandmother's brother. Is anyone researching this family or do you have information about them? I would be tremendously grateful for any information.

Listers, Can anyone give me any further information on this record of Bethsheba R Ackerman? aka Rose B Howard Adams Ackerman? The divorce record below appeared in the Richland Co GenWeb updates for 31 March 2003. I am interested in this record as I have been for several years recording all the information on the various Richland Co ADAMS people. As I tried to fit this record with what I already have, it appears that this woman may be Rose B Howard. Rose B Howard married John Adams in 1868 and had children Villa, Zora, (and probably) infant female, John and Merta Adams. John Adams died in 1878 and in November 1879 Rose married John Christian Ackerman. I had always seen her as Rose B (Howard) (Adams) Ackerman but this record: 1 - Bethsheba R Ackerman - same as Rose B? 2 - she and JC Ackerman were married in Nov 1879, same as the divorce record 3 - she wishes to go back to her previous name of Adams but this does not say her maiden name, it says "restoration to her name before marriage with defendant, Bethsheba Adams." The final decree doesn't show up in this posting which is for the rest of 1896, so I don't know if it was granted or not, however later records indicate that they probably didn't get divorced, or if they did, maybe remarried. Rose & John Ackerman appear together on the 1900 and 1920 census and they are buried together in Bellville Cemetery, he died in 1927 and she died in 1928. She is listed as John's wife in the Mansfield City Directories 1904-1922. ---- this is the divorce record that is posted: Source: Divorce Notes, 1896; extracted from the RICHLAND SHIELD & BANNER; date shown is the publication date of the newspaper; posted on Richland Co GenWeb page 31 Mar 2003 by Amy. 18 July 1896 - Bethsheba R Ackerman has begun an action in probate court against JC Ackerman for divorce and alimony. The parties were married in November, 1879. Plaintiff alleges in her petition that in September, 1885, the defendant threw a lighted lamp at her head. In the fall of 1894 defendant charged plaintiff with being criminally intimate with Ed Scott. At divers times the defendant has charged plaintiff with being unchaste. The plaintiff alleges these charges are untrue. Plaintiff also says she is the owner of their home and prays for divorce and restoration to her name before marriage with defendant, Bethsheba Adams. Pending the action she asks that defendant be restrained from interfering with her or her property and that at the final hearing the injunction be made permanent. She also asks that she be decreed reasonable alimony and for costs of suit.

Lexington -- The children's exercises Sunday night held at the Congregational church were excellent. The especial features were songs by Miss Carrie Hill's class of little girls, a quartette by Mrs. F. Sowers, Miss Ella Hill, Messrs. Frank Cook and O.T. Dennis, anthem by choir, and recitations by Masters Arthur and Ward Fry. The children all acquitted themselves creditably. Source: BELLVILLE INDEPENDENT: 25 June 1891, Vol. IV, No. 9

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AYB.2ACE/466 Message Board Post: I'm researching the Morehead family of Richland County. James Morehead (misspelled in the 1880 census as "Moorhead," was born in 1846 and married Elizabeth Stewart, born 1850. In 1880, James lived in Shiloh and had two children, a 6-year-old girl, first initial "R" and a 3-year-old boy, Charles or "Charley," my great-grandfather; James' occupation at this time is listed "idle." Charley married Mary Elizabeth Dailey and lived in Shiloh as of the 1900 census; they moved to Nova in Ashland County a short time later. James' father was born in Ohio and his mother in Pennsylvania; I do not know their names. An old family story has us descended from one of five Cherokee brothers who fled soldiers rounding them up for the reservation. I'm guessing James' mother was this Indian's daughter. I would be VERY grateful for any information on James, his family and his parents, his grandparents, why he was idle in 1880 -- as much as I can get. Thank you very much.
