Jamie, Beaverdale is not listed in any of the early histories of Ross County and the Ross web site includes any defunct towns that appeared in the various early histories of Ross and Ohio. I am not sure what time period you're looking at or what document you have stating the town of Beaverdale existed or was in Ross County, but it's possible it existed before Ohio became a State or before Ross County was formed. If so, then you would have to look into the history of the formation of the State & County and then go to the areas that represented Ross County at the time period you have referenced showing that Town. ie in 1797 Ross county was part of Adams County, therefore you would want to look in Adams County for records. There is a good explanation of County and its formation under the Maps section of the website titled "Ross Co Historical Boundaries and Development - pre-statehood to today". Another option is to contact the Ohio Historical Society Archives Library through email and see if they have a record of the town.

Chyrl, I am wondering if this might have been a town way on back, but I was looking at the website you have and didn't see it listed or anything close to it. I did see some Barton's in Union and Franklin Townships, guess I will have to dig deeper. Thank you for your help. jamie ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to OHROSS-request@rootsweb.com<mailto:OHROSS-request@rootsweb.com> with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
