This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Ridgewalker45663 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.counties.scioto/11286.4.3.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Mr. Cooper is buried by himself, completely surrounded by Shawnee State Forest, at least 1/4 mile from the road. The monument (a six foot tall obelisk) has markings for his wife but local legend is that the wife's side of the family didn't want her buried up there. For the really curious, driving north on Upper Twin Creek about 3-4 miles from US 52 you will pass a farm with a old sawmill visible from the road. Park your car past this farm (state property is marked with yellow paint). Walk west up the hill to the ridge, the grave is in that area. Be warned, it is a rough walk with lots of briars, downed timber, and steep terrain. Mr. Cooper will forever look over his old stomping grounds and will continue to surprise hikers like me for eternity. To me this is much better than being one of many in a cemetary. His enscription reads, "Behold stranger as you pass me by, As you are now, once was I. As I am now, so you must be. Prepare for death, and follow me." Hope you found this interesting.

One of the librarians told me there used to be a German and an English newspaper in Portsmouth. If you contacted the Scioto County Ohio Genealogy Department or the Portsmouth Library they may be able to help you. I haven't been able to find anything online for research on the subject.

Since most of them moved on to Illinois, I wonder what attracted them to Portsmouth? One reason might be a community of friends or relatives from the old coutry. Are there any on line data or references that would shed light on my question? Any comments will be appreciated.

Since Portsmouth is on the Ohio River, your ancestors may have travelled by stagecoach, wagon, horse, or by foot from NY to Philadelphia, to the Ohio River, then taken a boat of some sort downriver to Portsmouth. See all of the links in this email for maps of major migration routes from NY to Portsmouth, OH This site has info about many migration routes. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gentutor/trails.html The "Great Valley Road" went West from Philadelphia, then turned South somewhere West of Philadelphia, and continued down through the Shenandoah Valley. The Great Valley Road is now known as I-81. http://sc_tories.tripod.com/map_of_the_great_philadelphia_wagon_road.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gentutor/valley.html Staunton, VA is in the Shenandoah Valley, and folks could travel the Staunton, VA - Parkersburg, VA Turnpike to the Ohio River. Parkersburg is on the Ohio River. http://www.spturnpike.org/ Many of the Interstates we use today were old migration routes. Of course, some are not, but those are exceptions. Look for ways you'd drive from NY to Portsmouth, OH, then look for old migration routes which follow those Interstates.
