Probate court is supposed to other information. It's possible that there is an obituary in the Library binders. There was an Abram Bryson, a pioneer of the New Plymouth area. Also a D. M. Bryson who had some function with the school system in the 1950's as I recall. An A. Bryson and A.

Diana, In most counties of Ohio, COUNTY level birth and death records begin about 1867. The State of Ohio began recording deaths on the STATE level about October 1908, though it took several months for full compliance. The early birth and death registrations records (from 1867) for Vinton County have been microfilmed. You can order or study the films from your local FHC (LDS Family History Center), or have someone who volunteers or works in those archives search for the record for you. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the map! I am real curious about the D. M. Bryson you mentioned. I thought the Bryson family that stayed in Vinton area had "died off." Abram Bryson/Brison and his wife Nancy McKee Bryson are written about in the History of Hocking County. Abraham (Sr.) died at the age of 84 and son Abraham, John, and Harrison and daughter Margaret Louisa Bryson (all unmarried) were still living on the land in Zaleski. I would love to find out what HAPPENED to the farm land!!! I just do not know where to proceed with my inquiries. I also have been searching for information on Abraham & Nancy McKee Bryson parents.... (This is everyone's story.) THANKS to this group I was given information on where to find copies of public land sale! Abraham bought the land and I have gotten the BLM to send me a copy. I have read (somewhere) that the APPLICATION for buying public land may have personal information regrading the buyer... Do you know if this is true and where to look for the application? Guess I need to make a trip to Ohio, but at this time it is not possible, so thank you again for your help!!! I am the only person I know that is researching this Bryson family. I have several List that I belong to and have made no connection.
