There was a school or "college" in Springboro, just a few miles away. It would have been in operation about that time May have had Quaker roots. I had a relative or two who are thought to have attended this school. I have some brief info given me by the Springboro Historical Society Dick Bloss --- MAPPAUSTEN@aol.com wrote: > Does anyone on this forum know the name of a college > for teachers in the > 1890s?

Does anyone on this forum know the name of a college for teachers in the 1890s? My grandfather graduated from there ca. 1896 and I would like to know more about the college he attended. I never met him as he died prior to my birth. However, he was the only other teacher in the family until I came along. I have a picture of him standing on steps in front of the school I presume but someone has cut off almost everyone else in the class photo. There are no marks of identification on the picture no is anyone else in front of or behind him labeled. He was Jacob Coleman PETTY. Thank you. Marjory A. Austen

I am at a dead end with my Daniel McCann who is in the 1820 and 1830 census from Mason, Warren,OH. He was a shoemaker and his wife went by both Rebecca and Sarah and her maiden name may have been Sills. I believe she died in that area and Daniel moved his family to Clermont in the mid 1830's I begged a cousin of mine to read some Lebanon Western Star papers (a long story why I can't get to the microfilm myself) in search of Daniel but no luck. However, she enjoyed the articles so much, she sent me some to submit to the list. I will do that in bits an pieces over the next week. Also, it is possible for the Ohio His. Soc. to put all of the Ohio papers on CD's and it might be a viable idea. I, for one, would be willing to shell out a lot for the opportunity to have them at my desk to read. Anyone else interested might send them a note. Dorothy

Bobbi I have a lot of family in Bethany Cemetery as well...Supinger, Hizar, Johnson, Young and Wadsworth. What lines are you searching there? Becky in AZ

Thanks, Bobbi and Dave, for your help. I'm gonna grab my atlas and see if I can pinpoint Bethany. Figures there'd be nothing there now :) My kind of luck. Sounds like I better search in both Warren and Butler County for my Enyart family. Thanks again. If you need any help from 'up north' here let me know. Lynne K.

This is an excellent site to help locate towns, Bethany came up in Butler county, then you can even call up the map to look at it. http://www.topozone.com/ Jacquelyn

Lynne, Bethany is in Butler County, west of Mason, OH, which is in Warren, Co. There is a Bethany Rd. which runs East and West at the North side of Mason. If you go West on Bethany Rd. into Butler County it will intersect with Cincinnati-Dayton Rd. Bethany is located right at that intersection. Dave

My gg-grandfather, JOHN BENTON WILLOW ENYART, died in Shelby County, Ohio in 1919. His death certificate makes reference to his birth in "Bethany", Warren County, Ohio. I'm unable to locate this on a recent map. Is Bethany the name of a township in Warren County? Or is it a town/village/city that is no longer in existence? Any hints steering me in the right direction would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time. Lynne Haenke Streich Searching ENYART, CRAWFORD, MUTCHNER, and RAINES families in Ohio from due north in Michigan. :)

Lynne, There is a Bethany in Butler Co but also an area in Warren considered as Bethany. There isn't much there. My in-law's are buried in the Bethany Church Cemetery there. You take 71 North and turn left off the Morrow-Lebanon exit. The cemetery is on the right. Across the street, there used to be an old schoolhouse...Little Rock or something to that effect. Bobbi

Does anyone in your area have the time to do a look up for me or steer me toward the correct information. I am trying to determine the death date for this man and any will or heir information if available. Is there anyone up there who is in the library and would be willing to see if there is anything reported. Thank you. Marjory A. Austen MAPPAusten@aol.com

I am descended from Thomas SMITH and his wife Eve of Warren County, OH. They were born in NY and died in Warren County. They are buried in the Edwardsville Cemetery in Warren County. Thomas and Eve are my 4th great-grandparents. They were members of the Quaker faith and are listed in some of the volumes of Quaker records. Darlene

Hello I have a HAMILTON family bible (from Warren Co. OH) and will share information on the names included. STRYKER JOHNSON LITTLE BRANDENBURG SMITH Thank you John

Am searching for any WEIKAL in Warren Co. In particular William F. WEIKAL b. 8 Aug 1867 Perry Ashland Ohio Moved to Warren County Oh need death date and where buried. Thank you Nancy

Jacquelyn, I live in Shelby Co IN. Many of our early settlers came from Warren Co OH (which is why I belong to this list!) We had/have many KITCHELLs here in Shelby Co IN. If you ever want to explore the KITCHELL line, don't forget about the possibility of Shelby Co IN as a stopping off place between Warren Co OH and Bureau Co IL.

To: Jacqueline From: John L. Cowan in Baltimore Thank you so much for the lookup. It provides the sources: Original>> Shilt Abstracts>>FTM CD 175. I have photocopies of every fragment of paper from Warren County Bx #1, and am very much aware of the lineage of these Cowans. I was hoping for ages of the two children who went into guardianship, but no such luck. It does pretty well confirm, however, that others didn't glean any information from those papers that I might have overlooked, or information that might have been there at some earlier date, but not when I had copies made. I appreciate your help.

On Family Tree Maker CD175, OH Vital Records #1 in Warren County, OH - Guardianships 1804-1817 I found the following record: 6-19-1809 - Jane ADAMS appointed guardian of John ADAMS 13 yrs, David ADAMS 11 yrs, Elijah ADAMS 9 yrs, children and heirs of David ADAMS, dec'd. (prl-p37; edO-p29; bx3-#30 np) I do know what all this means but what I want to know is if this could be my David ADAMS and if anyone else is working on this line. My David ADAMS was born in NJ, married 5 Aug 1824 in Hamilton Co, Ohio and died 31 Mar 1856 in Bureau Co, Illinois. He married Matilda KITCHELL, daughter of Calvin Kitchell and Mary Terwilliger. I believe Calvin's parents died in Warren Co, Ohio. They were Moses KITCHELL d. abt 1818 and Phoebe ?HEDGES? d. abt 1824. I would like to correspond with anyone that is working on these line. Can anyone there find the death records for Moses and Phoebe?

My great grandfather was Hiram Nelson Scoville born out of wedlock 26 Sep 1850 in Dayton, OH. His mother was Mary Simpson b abt 1830 in Warren County, probably Union Township. She was possibly put out of her parent's house because of her condition. I do not know why she went to Dayton for the birth, but she stayed with a family named Kneisley. Mary's parents were Jesse Simpson and Charlotte Wager. Hiram was mentioned in his grandfather's will as was his mother, so fences were mended and she was forgiven. Jesse Simpson died in 1862 and at that time his mother's name was Mary Harper. I have been unable to locate a marriage for Mary Simpson to a man named Harper. Nor can I find the biological father for Hiram. Any help would be so very much appreciated. I have been looking for a solution to this problem for a very long time. Marylou Denyer in California
