Thanks so much, Amy. I appreciate any help. I am researching my husband's Woodruff line, and am having a problem with his wife; Catherine Myers. They were both born in OH, but ran away to get married in KY, as she was so young. They show up on the 1880 census, but am trying to find information on her parents in the OH 1970 census. A lot of my information comes from my husband's elderly mother, so maybe not too accurate. Thanks again, will keep trying.

I am researching an ancestor who was born in Sherdine, OH - and am trying to search the 1860 census, but do not know what county Sherdine would have been located in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, Faithie

Hello Kweers, Thank you for posting this census. I believe that this Elijah was the son of Jonatha B and Sarah A Jones., born July 1850 according to the 1850 census. "Baba Clark" sent me an 1850 census that listed Sarah Alexander, age 5, daughter of Caleb and Susan Alexander. After further investigation I believe that the marriage license of Nov 29, 1868 was for this couple, given the ages in this 1880 census. The license was applied for by Jesse H Jones, who was the uncle of Elijah, brother of Jonathan B Jones. The only reason I can come up with is that Jonathan B is listed in his father's (Elijah) will as living in 'unknown county' in Indiana and his son Elijah was not old enough to apply for the license without the consent of a guardian? Yesterday I found a marriage record on the LDS site of an Elijah Jones and Sarah Monrow, April 27, 1815 in Belmont County, Ohio. This may be Jesse H and Jonathan B's parents. My husband was told by another researcher that the older Elijah was married to Sarah "Alexander" but I believe this info is incorrect. This 1815 date would make more sense since the older Elijah and Sarah Jones' first child (Jesse H) was born in 1816. I'm hoping to go to Belmont county soon to check this out. Thanks again for you help.

Not to confuse the issue, but I am interested in finding more information about the following William and Jonathan Jones: Jonathan Jones, born in 1799 in KY, married Catherine Morrow, September 30, 1830 in Athens County, OH (they later moved to Buchanan County, MO and were in CA by 1850). William Jones, born about 1800 in KY, married Susannah Morrow on August 10, 1820 in Athens County, OH (they later moved to Buchanan County, MO and settled there). Susannah and Catherine Morrow were sisters and it is assumed that William and Jonathan Jones were brothers. They all lived in Elk Township (which later became part of Vinton County) and left that area in the late 1830s and early 1840s. William and Susannah had a son named Levi which has made me wonder about a possible connection with the Levi Jones family in Vinton County. I would appreciate hearing about any possibilities.

DAVIS.<<< > The following excerpt is from the book, "Hanging Rock Iron Region"(estimated date written 1917): THOMAS C. FOX (Thomas Calvin Fox) By judicious efforts as a farmer and general merchant, Thomas C. Fox has created a liberal prosperity for himself in the Locust Grove community of Jackson Township, Vinton County. Mr. Fox has been in business at the Locust Grove community for the past nineteen years. He has a fine store in a building 24x42 feet, well stocked with general merchandise of every kind required by a country community. Thomas C. Fox was born in Hocking County, Ohio, August 18, 1869, and was reared and educated there, which remained his home until his removal to Locust Grove. He is a son of Thomas J. and Elizabeth (Grimes) Fox, who were natives of Ohio and were reared in Belmont County. His father graduated from high school and learned the carpenter's trade and became a skilled mechanic. He was married in Belmont County, and after two children were born to them they moved to Hocking County, where he bought a small farm in Perry Township. He died there in July, 1875, when only thirty-two years of age. His widow afterwards married Henry Spencer, a farmer in Hocking County, where he died after the birth of six children at the age of fifty-five. His widow, Mrs. Spencer, now lives at Lancaster, and is still in good health at the age of seventy-two. She became the mother of nine sons by her two marriages, and five of them are still living, and all have children except one. Next to the youngest in his father's family, Thomas C. Fox has made his success largely through his own efforts, since he was early thrown upon his own resources. He was married in Hocking County to Miss Stella Hunter. She was born in Perry Township of Morgan County, Ohio, May 21, 1873, and was reared and educated there. Her parents were Curtis and Susanna (Poling) Hunter, who were married in Hocking County and spent their lives on a farm there. To the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Fox were born six children, one of whom died in infancy. Pearl D. born in August, 1896, Bessie May born March 26, 1898, Earl Stanley born May 18, 1899, Leona Fern was born in 1904, Delbert Odell was born in February 1913. The family are all members of the Locust Grove Methodist Church. In politics Mr. Fox is a republican, and is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge at McArthur.

Hello Richard, My husband is a descendant of Elijah and Sarah thru their son Jesse. For some reason the marriage record that is on file at Vinton County was filed after the death of Elijah by his son Jesse. Elijah was born December 17, 1789 in Maryland and died Nov 6, 1864. He is buried in Weaver Cemetery in Brown Twp, Vinton County. Sarah was born May 2, 1797 in Ohio and died Nov 12, 1869. Children of Elijah and Sarah: 1. Jesse Jones, b 1816 in Ohio, married Verlinda Foreman. 2. Elizabeth Amanda Jones, b abt 1817, married Levi Foreman, March 24, 1836 3. Mary M Jones, b 1821 4. Jonathan Jones, b 1827 5. William Jones, b 1828 6. Leander Jones, b 1831 in Ohio, married Martha Ann Robinette, Jan 2, 1853 7. Elijah W Jones, b 1834 8. Sarah L Jones, b 1837, married Joseph Stanley Would love to exchange info with you. Right now my husband is investigating the Elijah Jones that appears on the war of 1812 Ohio roster which he thinks is his Elijah because he served with familar names such as Foreman. He doesn't have any info back further than Elijah and Sarah and if you do that would be great. Anxious to hear from you.

>From the McArthur Democrat-Enquirer, November 12, 1919 (TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: If anyone on the list is researching the STANLEY family from Knox Township, I would love to exchange information. I am trying to find the connection with the CHESSER family. Thanks, Carol Beattie, [email protected] net) "KNOX NO. ONE The weiner roast and soup supper at Gum Tree was a success both financially and sociably. Large crowd attending that was expected. The proceeds amounted to $13.65. The all-day meeting that was postponed last week was held Sunday. Quite a few assembled to hold communion with Thee. Sunday School in the forenoon. At the noon hour a bountiful dinner was prepared and spread before them. In the afternoon Luster STANLEY of Athens, gave a very interesting talk in regards to the Coming King and the last days that we are now living. Owing to the failing health of our old friend W. M. STANLEY making it impossible for him to care for his corn crop that was raised, the friends decided to give him a corn husking. The boys went in the fields with lots of pep and the crop was about husked out. Uncle Billy as he is known among the boys is afflicted with rheumatism making it a difficult matter for him to attend to the farms that he owns. Those attending were: Arch STANLEY, W. M. HOLDREN, Eugene FORREST, George STANLEY, Clyde STANLEY, A. D. FORREST, and Jack SCOTT. While traveling along our roads since the heavy rains we find quite frequently where autoes have stuck in the mud. In order for the parties to get the machines out and go on their journey again they take rails and boards and in many incidents we find that these have been left in the road. Parties may have done this unthoughtedly or in a fit of passion jumped into their fliver and with a curse to the bad roads drove on, not realizing what a condition they left the road. The rails left there-in are dangerous to both horses and machines. Nails left in these boards are liable to puncture tires for other machines and the rails may break someones vehicle. We would therefore appreciate in Knox No. 1 if same would be removed hereafter. If you are out of the mud and say that you will never be in such a mud road again, remember that there is another fellow that will travel this road besides you. W. M. MC WHORTER and wife of Mineral have been spending the week with W. M. HOLDREN W. M. STANLEY and Clyde STANLEY delivered a load of potatoes to Marshfield one day last week. Mildred HOLDREN who is working at Albany spent the week end at home. Willie TROUT who is spending a few days at home, was a visitor at Marshfield Sunday.

Protracted meeting will begin here Wednesday evening, November 12. Women preachers will hold this meeting. They have a warm handshake, a kind word and a hearty welcome for you at Bethel. Come. We have been informed that Mr. Johnny LIVELY has returned from Oklahoma bringing with him a bride.
