Hi, Can anyone tell me where WEYMOUTH,Ohio is or how to find out. I have a Gr gr grandmother who states on her marriage license that she was born there. Thanks,, Romayne

Weymouth is located in Medina County and East of Medina city near Interstate 71.

The information I received was wide........really wide. I got started and one tip lead me to a site where I clicked around and found more. The main place where I've started is with: www.usgenweb.com That took me to a clickable map of OH. I searched the Ohio page and found more things before I clicked onto Stark County. Here is the beginning: http://vitalrec.com/oh.html one of the places you can get info about Stark county is from the genealogy division of the Canton Library. They will do a search for you and if they find something, make a copy, and send it to you. I think copies are 25 cents for regular size (don't know how much for larger size) and postage to send it to you. Their web site is---- www.stark.lib.oh.us/gene.html http://dbs.ohiohistory.org/dindex/search.cfm Oops, as I want copying these down to place in this message I really wanted to write something of a description so you all would know what I found when I got there. Well, it's late, I've been up since 3:30 this morning and did good doing this much. The page with the Vital records on it gives the hours for the Historical Society in Columbus, OH. It has a lot of information for getting information on it. It would do good to print out this message before you accidentally hit the delete key so you can refer back to it. Plus, I found a person in Stark County who was kind enough to do some looking up in the Stark County Phone book for real phone numbers with real people able/willing to guide me onward. So if there is a phone number you need looking up, please ask and someone will be an angel, I'm sure. I hope this answers the questions of what responses I received. And Thanks again. Please let me know if these sites were of value to you, but post it to the list so others can gain an advantage of wonderful people. Kay Researching: Davidson, Coil, O'Connell, Morrison, Fast, Arnold, Van Dozer, Williams, James, Skeeles, Scott, Leasure, Moore, Butler, Shook, Dye, Hales, Stiles, (and Others) from Washington County, PA> Jefferson, Carroll, Summit, Stark, Mahoning, Portage, Columbiana, Tuscarawas (and other eastern) OH counties.

I've received many messages about birth/death/marriages that I need to thank you all so much. I have a list of letters to write, sites to visit and people to contact. This has been a wonderful experience. Along the way I found a couple more Stark County families to look for, in addition to the Davidsons. These families are (Abraham) Scott, (m. Mercy) Rockhill and Leasure. The family begins in PA, goes to Mahoning County, OH and Sarah Scott (dau. of above) marries William Gray in Stark County. Thanks again for your guiding hands... Kay

Hi folks in Stark County, I've been beating around the "want to find information regarding" bush for some time. Is there someone out there who would KNOW where to find the Death Certificate and Will for: Cicero L. Davidson b: February 27, 1842 in Jefferson County, East Springfield, Ohio d: May 04, 1913 in Jefferson County, East Springfield, Ohio and his wife: Mary Ann O'Connell b: 1842 in New York m: December 31, 1867 in Jefferson County, East Springfield, Ohio d: September 09, 1914 in Jefferson County, East Springfield, Ohio When we were last in Canton we learned that Jessie Davidson, Cicero's sister is buried in the Westlawn Cemetery, in a family plot, but didn't have time to find the cemetery. Also, is there an Internet site that could be visited to find marriages in Stark County? We are looking for a marriage between Rebecca Davidson and E.B. Ellis in the late quarter of the 1800's. It appears that many of the Davidsons who were born in Jefferson County moved to Stark County. Thank you for your reply, someone in Jefferson County said the information could be obtained in Stark County so I'm just asking. Kay Davidson ldkd19@idt.net

HI-- PLEASE SEND ME INFORMATION ON THE ABOVE. THEY MAY HAVE LIVED IN OSENBURG TWP. OR JEFFERSON TWP. THANK YOU DAN OURY

Midwest Pioneers: An Expedition, 1832 In 1832 an expedition commissioned by then Secretary of War Lewis Cass was sent to secure a permanent peace with Native Americans of the upper Midwest. Indian agent Henry Schoolcraft traveled as a member of the group as it journeyed up the Mississippi River. This database is Schoolcraft's account of the expedition and includes extensive descriptions of the Indian tribes of the area. It provides observations regarding the beliefs, customs, and history of the Chippewa, Sioux, Menominee, and Mandans. Also included are various official documents relating to the trip, along with the speeches of six Native American chiefs regarding relations with the United States. For researchers seeking to understand the Indians of the region, this can be an informative and interesting narrative. Bibliography: Library of Congress.
