I have hit a brick wall and I am looking for help, to find the children of Moses and Hannah Linn Williamson. Moses Williamson was born June 17 1784 in the Fort Henry Block House, Ohio County Va/WVa (the son of Thomas Williamson) he married Hannah Linn in Washington County Ohio March 31 1801. Hannah was the daughter of Isaac and Jane Mills Linn. Census records shows they had 5 daughters and at least 6 sons. I have located the following sons. But I have not been able to find any of the daughters. Is there anyone who has been working on this family. I have Moses's line back to Ireland, but I cannot find the rest of his children. One possible daughter could be Margaret Williamson born about 1808 married Richard Hanlin/Handlon/Hanlon. Any help would be appreciated Isaac Williamson born 1809 Thomas Williamson 1812 Annanisa Williamson 1814 Moses Williamson abt 1802 Linda LRHall175@aol.com

I know I should know -- but where is Rainbow Cemetery, I feel it has another name but I can't remember <blush> Eliz

Eliz; I don't think Rainbow Cem. has another name, but I could be wrong. I checked all my resources and didn't find anything. Hopefully someone on the List will know. Anyway.....I have a copy of the burials of Rainbow Cem. by McKitrick done in 1970. According to where it is....the book states that it is between Marietta and Lowell on the west side of the river in Muskingum Twp. If memory serves me right, I think it is close to Devol's Dam. I haven't been out there since I was a teenager. That was were all the teens went, once they got their driver license. (HA HA) Now.........you got my curiosity up, I have to go out by there when I go to Marietta this summer (July) to see my family and friends. I now have a digital camera. Will be taking LOTS of pics. If you want me to take some for you....give me a holler. I'll be in touch as the time grows closer, so remind me.

Found this on Ebay: 1866 BELPRE, OHIO LETTER - THE BITTER REBELS 7 page ink letter in GD condition from Simon G. Boardman dated July 16, 1866 at Centre Belpre, OH to his Mother. A very articulate gentleman, Boardman writes that it has been several weeks since he left Mumfordsville; they would have been very happy to see him stay on and teach for another year; "and all thought as highly of me as I deserved unless it be the bitter rebels. I had a long and rather tedious time getting here, being on the way more than a week..." Gives excellent details of his railroad journey and how he took a boat at Cincinnati that he thought was never going to leave the wharf; "...I was on board the boat for a week. However, they had to board me so it cost me nothing extra, and it gave me a chance to look about...It is not so wonderful a thing to visit Uncle George's as it once was. We find they are human beings and live very much like other folks. Uncle gets about with his broken hip much better than I had supposed he would. He does not use a cane at all, at least in walking about at home...He is, however, almost blind...It is what is called cataract...the eyes are sometimes operated upon and the difficulty removed...Aunt is as full of life as ever...George and Bessie are both away teaching down the river. Nellie is teaching a district school a few miles below here...She has just returned to her school this morning...There is a good deal of carting out to the oil regions in this vicinity...Douglas is keeping a public house on this side of the river opposite Parkersburg... I think it (the farm) is enough to support the family, but I think it is badly managed. The Dr. is most blind. They have two or three shiftless Negro boys and Fred...I think that Uncle George is some like Uncle Lin in having a good many worthless shacks about him..." http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2238065904&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1 Debbie (Noland) Nitsche Diamonddeb@comcast.net WASHINGTON COUNTY, OHIO HISTORICAL & GENEALOGY "LINKS" http://hometown.aol.com/washcohistory/Intropage1.html

Mandy Cat; The Elizabeth Gard Rawson that you are speaking of is relation to my Elizabeth Watson Johnson Gard. When MY Elizabeth died, John Gard married the sister of Elizabeth. Her name was Nancy Watson. She was John's 3rd wife. According to the book: JOHN W. GARD & THE GARD FAMILIES IN THE MID-OHIO VALLEY genealogy written by Elaine Burdett Rouse in 1992, it says that John Gard had 14 children and was married 3 X's. On page 2 of the genealogy, it states that John Gard bought 100 acres of land from Hernry and Pleasant Johnson and later 4 acres from Joseph Johnson. This 100 acres that John Gard bought was on the 1801 tax list of Wood Co. in or around the Bull Run area. (I only have the first 4 pages of this book) Rick Ritchie (distant cousin) who is also researching the same family found this info about Joseph Johnson: Joseph Johnson lost his life trying to save that of friend when the two were crossing on horseback (Aunt Francis says Fishing Creek; Aunt Belle inserts Big Run 2 miles south of Marietta in West Virginia - from an old letter. father's memory) Joseph reached shore, but saw his friend had been dismounted and knowing he couldn't swim, went to his aid, but was caught by an uprooted tree in the current which dragged him under. His body being found later several miles below. His horse escaped. -Francis Howe Johnson Joseph may have been the son Henry Johnson, one of the earliest settlers of Wood Co., Virginia. Henry settled on the upper end of Big Run before Wood County was organized in 1800. The Wood Co. Deed Book 4 records that he had 500 acres patented to him on Aug. 22, 1797. The deed book mentions Henry's wife, Pleasant, and his son, Joseph, and daughter-in-law, Sarah. Jacob Johnson (below) married Sarah Locker, whose family lived on Big Run, so it just seems likely to me that this is the same family Mary Batemen: I don't know when MY Elizabeth (Watson Johnson Gard) was born or when she died. The only thing I know about her is that she is the daughter of George & Elizabeth (Henthorn) Watson. Elizabeth would of been born in Marion County, Va. (Now WV.) I am only guessing that she could of been born between 1770-1778. (Wild guess) Elizabeth's son (Jacob) went to live with this Uncle David Watson (Elizabeth's brother) shortly after his father Joseph Johnson died in 1793 or 94. Jacob was just a baby. I don't think that Jacob lived with his mother and her new husband (John Gard). I hope you can help with this brick wall.
