Surnames: Holdren-Adams Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VZB.2ACI/216 Message Board Post: I seek information on my great-grandparents, William Adams, born in Ohio in 1820, and Mary Holdren, born in Virginia in 1825 or so. They were married in Ross County, Ohio in the 1840s and soon after moved to Fayette County. The 1840 census suggests that the Holdrens and the Adamses lived on adjoining or nearby farms in Ross County. Were their fathers Enoch Holdren and Emanuel Adams? Did proximity make their children's hearts grow fonder? The census also suggests the family of one Archibald Holdren lived in the same vicinity. Can anyone shed more light on this? Martin Smith

Surnames: Brown Kemp Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VZB.2ACI/212 Message Board Post: Looking for a Thomas Brown from Maryland (possibly Caroline or Somerset County) who was the brother of Elizabeth (Brown) Kemp, living in Ross County in the mid 1830's. Elizabeth was born 1783. Family history says that the widowed Elizabeth and her grown sons and their families moved from Caroline County, MD around 1835 to Ross Co, OH and lived with her brother Thomas Brown for a year before they moved on to Fayette Co, OH. In 1856, the family then settled in Louisa County, IA. Thank you.

John, You should be able to find his will record at the Ross County Probate Court, Archives Division, 2 N. Paint Street, Chillicothe, Ohio 45601. Put it to the attention of "Janet". If you want to call first about anything the phone # is (740) 774-1179. (If you call there is a long "menu" but just hit the number for "archives" and Janet will answer.) It might also be available at the Chillicothe and Ross County Public Library,140-146 S. Paint St., Chillicothe, Ohio 45601. When I was still working there a few years ago, they had a staff member who looked up genealogy requests as time permitted. I would assume they still do. Their phone number is (740)702-4145.

I have some information on both families plus, I have a 173 year old Bible that belonged to Katherine KEFFER (first child of Valentine and Catharina), who married David WORK. I have been trying to find descendants of this couple. I have gotten the names of David and Katherine's(Catharine) children and one grandchild. I am hoping we can exchange some information by which I can help you and maybe you can help me. I will also be posting to the Pickaway County OH. board list with more information. The Zeiglers along with Col. Valentine were pioneers and very prominent citizens of Pickaway County in the early formation years. Valentine holding political offices, running a newspaper and sitting on a school board and both being large land owners. Some of which were given by both men to their children, if my memories are correct. I have to go into my files which, at the present are not available to me. But would be interested in hearing from you. You can contact me at: [email protected] Hoping to hear from you soon. Thanks for your time. God Bless Kat
