Yes I am searching the Cline family - especially those that married into the Huston family and located in and near Shiloh, Rome and Ashland. My gg grandfather is Jessie HUSTON born Pennsylvania about 1806 died Ohio 1879 - according to an Ohio history book he was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Quote: "Jesse Huston was of good Scottish stock and was a native of the Keystone state, emigrating from Cumberland county to Ohio, when a young man of twenty years old. He located first in Weller township, Richland county and later removing to Jackson township where he was a successful agriculturist for many years. His death occurred in the year 1879 at which time he had attained the venerable age of 75. He was married to Margaret Thrush and they are the parents of 2 sons James, Ira, and 4 daughters Mary, Nancy, Maggie and Elizabeth. " Jesse may have moved to Columbiana county before preceding on to Richland county where he developed his farm and became a highly respected and well known farmer. I have considerable history of his descendants in Richland County, Ohio - - but I am unable to learn about his early life in Cumberland county and who his parents and siblings are. There is some discrepancies in the history books. Another book the History of Richland County, Ohio says "Jesse Huston cut down the first tree for the village of Rome, Ohio as the village was being laid out as a town. (The village was first called Rives, later changed to Rome) In 1832 he married Margarite Powell and they settled near Rome and developed their farm. Jessie remained in Richland county the rest of his life." I will be most grateful to hear if you are researching the same family line and I hope you can shed some light on Jessie and his parents.

I believe that I have at least four brothers, Robt, Petter, Jacob and Jonathan b. in Richland Co. Their mother was probably Elizabeth Cline. So far the only date I have for her is difficult to read. I would guess that she was b. between 1790 and 1798. At least one of the brothers left Richland Co., sometime before 1850 and moved to Indiana and then they are found in Illinois and then Iowa. I am trying to find which one of the many Cline's in Richland Co. at that period is their parents. I believe the father died and the mother was living with one of the sons in 1850.

Hello Sharie....I too am following the Cline surname, as it is one of many that continue to show up living around my Montgomery,Nottingham,Ferrell/Farrell lines. I do not have a direct connection as yet, but they all migrated from Virginia and/ or Pennsylvania abt 1800 to Jefferson Co Ohio, then 1815 to Richland Co Ohio. Some moved to Michigan for a few years, and several to Fulton Co Indiana. Then by 1840 several are living in Lake Co Illinois, moving by 1856 to Floyd Co. Iowa. Does this migration pattern fit your Clines? Do any of the surnames I mentioned show up in your research? Other names that are connected are Burgett,Callen/Callon, Crabs,Houston/Huston, Mercer,Ramey/Ramsey being the primary ones. Looking forward to hearing from you...Happy searching.....Sherry in Texas kinhistorian <kinhistorian@camtel.net> wrote: Is there anyone on the list searching for Clines during the above time period.

Greetings Richland County Researchers, I would invite you to check out the Ohio Gravestone Photo Project and participate in its growth as it will only grow with everyone's involvement. The Ohiogravestones.org is a wonderful tool to preserve the headstones of your ancestors. With the advent of time and weather and vandalism, our headstones are disappearing at an alarming rate. We need to work on preserving a digital image of our family stones as a fitting tribute to our ancestors. This site is an easy-to-use site that exists to make this preservation possible. Additionally there is no cost to the contributor or to anyone wanting to view the photos, hard to find in this day and age where everything costs something. Plus this is a great way to have a backup for all those photos you presently have. There are no annoying ads flashing, moving or popping. Particularly valuable are those very old headstone photos that you have in grandma's photo album. Scan them into your computer and add them to the site as they may be the only testament to your ancestors life. Share them with the world. The link for the Richland County GPP is: http://ohiogravestones.org/cemeteries.php?selected_cid=70 Richland County presently only has 844 photos and we need more. I am asking for your help, please add your photos to the site. The link to the Ohio GPP is: http://ohiogravestones.org/ I am your Richland Co. coordinator and I am truly excited about being involved. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or respond to this message. Thank you very much! Wendi E. Scally your Coordinator, Ohio Gravestones Photo Project - Richland County

We had several volunteers helping a few months ago, which was fantastic, but since then our only volunteer has been Jim H. (who has really done quite a few). If you take a look at the Tax Map Records page at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohrichla/TaxMapRecords.htm, you'll see the years WITHOUT an asterisk still need to have a typed index created. For most of the tax map sets, all you have to do is type up the names that appear on the index page, or on the far right edge of the map page (it differs from year to year). The benefit to having a TYPED index is that the names will show up when your fellow researchers use the search engine on our main page. You do NOT need any special software, just type up the names in a regular e-mail message, a word processing program or a spreadsheet program like Excel. Contact me if you're able to help out with this project -- AmyeA@aol.com.

Dear Listers, I am looking for information on the Delong family of Worthington Twp., RCO. In particular, I am interested in the parentage and children of Zenith "Tiney" Delong who married John Bishop in March 1824 in RCO. They had 8 children. The names of the children that I am sure about are Daniel Bishop, b. bet. 1824-1841; Joseph Bishop, b. abt. 1825 and m. Nancy unknown; Stephen Bishop, b. abt. 1828; Samuel Bishop, b. abt. 1836 and m. Jane Bevington, 01 Jan 1857. The names of other children may have been John, Michael, Christina, and an unknown. Zenith Delong evidently died before 08 Nov 1841 because that is the date that John Bishop remarried to Abigail Gaunt and had 13 more children by her. Any help will be appreciated. Sincerely, Letha Chunn-Mendivil

Looks interesting http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7024672.stm Illegible words on church headstones could be read once more thanks to a scan technology developed in the US. Scientists at Carnegie Mellon university are making high resolution 3D scans of tombstones to reveal the carved patterns in the stone. A computer matches the patterns to a database of signature carvings which reveals the words. The technique could one day also be used by doctors to examine a patient's tongue for signs of illness. Scientists often find it difficult to distinguish between natural phenomena and man-made art works carved into stone, due to the build-up of algae and surface dirt. At the moment, archaeologists are forced to do hand-tracing work with plastic sheets and to examine objects first hand in order to decipher obscured writings. Randi Bowles-Meentzen
