Hi Shelby, I could find no reference to a cemetery by the name of Rehoboth in Seneca County, Ohio in either our Seneca County, Ohio Cemetery Inscriptions book, or in the list of Ohio Cemeteries found in the web site: www.geocities.com/ohioplaces/cemeteries/r.html. The latter web site does list the following for five different counties in Ohio, but not for Seneca County: Rehobeth Cemetery Gallia County Rehobeth Cemetery Morgan County Rehoboth Cemetery Clinton County Rehoboth Cemetery Jefferson County Rehoboth Cemetery Montgomery County. The only references I found to "Rehoboth" was to a small village in Jackson Township, Seneca County, Ohio, which was first surveyed in 1844, but which never flourished. The first reference came from the History of Seneca County, Ohio, published by Warner Beers & Co., 1886: Page 566. Chapter on Jackson Township. "Small settlements-- Rehoboth was surveyed by Thomas Heming in December, 1844, for Isaiah Hollopeter on the east half of the southwest quarter of Section 17................men were too busy with politics, and women were too content to live on their farm and grow wealthy as their lands increased in value to dream of settling down to a life of the Mission Church." The second reference came from the History of Seneca County, Ohio by William Lang, 1880. Page 547. Chapter on Jackson Township. " Isaiah Hollopeter laid out the town of Rehoboth on the 7th of December, 1844, but it never flourished." I noticed two names of the Gee family (Nellie B., 1885-19--, and Walter A., 1883-1951) were listed as buried in Zion Lutheran Cemetry, Jackson Township, and perhaps there might be a connection with the old Rehoboth village of Jackson Township mentioned above, but there are also a number of other Gees listed as buried in other Seneca County townships: Bessie V., Fairmount Cemetery, Clinton Township Clyde M, Mildred, Robert W. & Susan, Kansas Cemetery, Liberty Township Fidelia A & William N., Bunker Hill Cemetery, Pleasant Township Meda, Farewell Retreat Cemetery, Scipio Township Polly A. & William L., Liberty Center Cemetery, Liberty Township. Sorry I couldn't come any closer. Regards, Ken Shute (kwsroots@aol.com)
