The RBHayes website is fantastic. I was able to get the papers for the obits of over 20 family members. Then took a trip to the library and pulled the microfilm and printed them out. It is a fantastic library, with loads of info from surrounding counties and even SW Pa., which helped me also. From Lake County Oh. it was only about an hour and half drive, was a very profitable day for my cousin and myself. If you get the chance you should go and check it out. Now, the Tiffan papers are not on microfilm at the library, but are available at the library in Tiffan. Ruth Sprowls

Seeking family and descendants of James Boyd MOORE who married Mary Ann ROGERS c. 1846 in Seneca County. She was born in England in 1817 to Stephen and Jane ROGERS. He was born c. 1820. In the 1850 census they appear in the Seneca County census with daughters Elinor (b. c. 1847) and Sarah (b.c. 1849. I see no record of them appearing as a family group after 1850, although there were many deed transactions involving Boyd and Mary Ann Moore in the 1850's

Hi Roxanna, If you let me know the names of the people you hope to find obituaries for, I will check microfilm of the two Fostoria papers which were being published in the 1920s. Don Rogier

I have been to Columbus and Bowling Green looking for a Seneca County newspaper that would have obituaries for the dates I need. So far, no luck. Could anyone please advise me as to where I could geta copy of an obit for the following dates? August 8, 1924 March 9, 1922 Both of these people died in Fostoria. At least that is where the death certificate stated as place of death. Thank you for you time Roxanna

My g-grandfather Andrew Moreo (Morio) was initially married to a Lang, then remarried after her death (childbirth I assume since it was days after birth) to Christina Loy. He was born in Hauenstein Germany in 1844, came to New Regal, Seneca Cty Ohio in 1846 with parents and siblings. Dont know much about the Lang's but would be interested.

Sam died 1870. Wife Harriet, died 1873 and one daughter Clara, died 1872 both in Seneca County infirmary. Another daughter, Genetta died 1878 in "Orphan home, Seneca County". Would this be St. Francis and are there any records from this early. In 1880, daughter Ruth Gifford, age 20, was a servant for Hezekiah Groff, retired sadler, 4th Ward. In 1886, she was was living in Bloomville. By 1890, she was Ruth Dewess. Nothing else can be found about her. Youngest sister was Analize (Elizabeth, Annie) Gifford. Born 1869, she was still living in Seneca County in 1886 with the Gifford name. Nothing else known. Have thoroughly search Tiffin-Seneca County Library for marriage records, etc and a cousin searched the court house for death records. If anyone can help me, contact me privately. I will not ask you to do research as I live in Sandusky County. Thank you.

The information below is from a piece of paper I found in a book my wonderful children rescued from someone's trash for me many years ago. I just came across it again and thought I would type it up in case it could be of benefit/interest to someone. I have no other info than what is here and I am not related to the family. Regards, Linda Typed as it appears on the original. BAUGHER FAMILY HISTORY William Baugher Born: 9-29-1809 Died: 6-19-1864 Age 54 yrs. 8 mo. 19 da. Bur: Baugher Cem. M 12-1-1847 Margaret Carson Born: 6-29-1821 in Pennsylvania Died: 6-19-1899 Age 77 yrs. 11 mo. 21 da. Bur: Baugher Cem. Margaret Carson came to Ohio Pennsylvania about 1832 with her parents when she was 11 yrs. old. Walked all the way behind the 'wagon' as they called it (prarie(sic) schooner) as there was not enough room for the furniture and all of them to ride. In(sic) was in this wagon that the corner cupboard, cherry table and bureau, was brought to Ohio. This information told to me by my mother, Ada Baugher Kern. At one time there were living in Venice Twp. several Carson families who may have been Margaret's ancestors and descendents, but there is no definite proof other than the fact that they all came from Union Co., Pa. Two brothers and one sister that my mother often spoke of were John, James & Mary Carson. John was married and lived in the house one-half mile West of Harmony Church where I lived from 1903 to 1910 as a child. Think he died there. James & Mary, never married, lived in the house across the hollow (where Fadely's lived). In later, years they both lived with John Baugh! er, my mother's brother and my uncle, in a big square type house (still standing) between Mohawk & Negrotown Rd. Same road on which the Baugher Cemetery is located. Both died there. James was tall, slender, slow, easy going. Died 3-3-1895, aged 76 yrs., 11 mo., 15 da. Mary was short, stocky built and very witty. Died 1-23-1900, age 83 yrs., 1 mo., 11 da. Both buried in Baugher Cemetery. Told to me by Anna Baugher Stewart, my cousin, daughter of John Baugher, about a year before she died. After William died, Margaret was left with 8 children to support, the youngest, Daniel, only 6 mo. old. 3-9-1865 she sold the farm in Seneca Twp. and purchased 40 a. in Eden Twp., just East of the farm where they had lived and also East of the Baugher Cem. My mother was next to the youngest of the children and the last to marry. Here Margaret & my Mother lived until they sold the farm and moved to Tiffin. They lived in the first house on Sycamore St. next to the business block. The house! is still standing and is now a double house. I do not know if it was then or not and if they owned it or rented. After my mother was married Margaret went to live with the Tom Kerschner family at 252 Jefferson St. They were good friends. It was here Margaret fell down the cellar stairs, broke her hip and later died as a result of the fall. The Carsons were Irish. William Baugher came to Ohio about 1833 with his first wife, Elizabeth and one child from Frederick Co. Maryland. According to birth dates available, three other children were born after they came to Ohio. (See history of first marriage). He had owned a 75 a. farm in Maryland which he sold to Peter Kemp. 9-11-1833 he purchased from, Aaron Umsted, 90.70 a. in Clinton Twp. (Recorded Vol. 3, Page 455, Seneca Co. Deed Records). This farm was near Bethel Church, North of Tiffin. His first wife died about 1846 and 12-7-1847 he married Margaret Carson, my grandmother. They evidently continued to reside there and the 3 older children were born there. March 17, 1854, he sold the farm near Bethel to a Darius Loose consisting of 70.70 a. in Clinton Twp. for $3,000.00. (Recorded Vol. 27, Page 143, Seneca Co. Deed Records ) 10 a. each time had been previously sold to a George Stoner on two occasions. 3-29-1854 he purchased 138.21 a. in Seneca Twp. from M. M. Fiser for $3800.00. (Rec. ! Vol. 26, Pg.522). This farm was located 7 miles S. of Tiffin, then 1/2 mi. W., off the Negrotown Rd., along the Sandusky River. Lived there until he died. In 1864 was on his way to serve in the Civil War. Rode a horse into Tiffin, took sick and was taken to a rooming house where he died 6-19-1864. The rooming house was near St. Joseph's Church. There were no hospitals in Tiffin then. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men we admire."

I am asking for assistance from members of the group who may be familiar with information that can be accessed in Seneca County Courthouse and Library Records. I am aware that in Putnam County, for example, there are estate packet records that can be accessed which have quite a bit of information about the deceased individual and the family. In particular, I found the Application for Probate of Will to be most helpful in tracing families. Do estate packet records exist for Seneca County? Does the Application for Probate of Will Record exist for Seneca County? Thank you for your help. Steve Frank
