Hello, Debbie, I am most thrilled to tell you that I took your advice and contacted the gentleman that you suggested at the Library and early last evening I received an email from the Library (not the man you mentioned) stating that the obituary had been found in the Marietta Times for 26 Dec 1945 and that after providing my address they would mail it forthwith at the nominal cost of $1.10. Of course I have done that and am looking forward to receiving same. I surely do thank you because when I went to the genealogy site of the Library it was in the process of being done. I just never thought of overriding it and going directly to the library. Also, I have printed out your message and will keep it handy for future reference as it seems to have good information in it. My husband's mother and family and her parents and grandparents all lived in the Marietta area and the family home is still on 6th St. and it is still owned by the family. The youngest ones are not interested in the past and the older ones are gone. Thank goodness the records are still there. I really appreciate your help.

I've found an relatively easy and inexpensive way to get land records for Washington County is through a Family History Center. They have Grantee and Grantor Indexes on microfilm. Once you decide on the records you want from the index, you can order the films that have that have the individual land records. The films rent for about $3.50 each as I remember. Then you have to pay to make copies of the individual records, somewhere between 10 and 25 cents each page. I have many family records this way. The nice part is you don't need dates and addresses. You can just look the index and pick out the records you want. The index film numbers can be found on www.familysearch.com . Hope this helps. Ron

Elisa wrote: >How old is the land record you seek? ******************************************* Elisa: Thanks for your reply. The county records I need aren't land grants, but are land transactions between individuals..... for the timeframe of 1839 to 1874. Since I'll be needing 19 of them, I was a little nervous about the cost. I wish my ancestors had shown up earlier, but my GrGrandfather William Chapman didn't migrate down to Washington County from the northern panhandle of WV until 1839. Pat Pulasky

How old is the land record you seek? I own a publication EARLY OHIO LAND RECORDS some of the records are in auditors office of the state of Ohio, some are in the Ohio Historical Society Archieves (Chillicothe Land Offices), Vaults of the Ohio Historical Society (Steubenville Land Offices) The books introduction reads: The OHIO LAND GRANT records are in the custody of the Auditor of the State of Ohio and are available in that office in Columbus. However, some are in the Archives of the Ohio Historical Society. This publication is a collection of some of these original records. Written primarily to aid genealogists, this book may give a clue about where ancestors lived before coming to Ohio. The place of residence was usually given in the old registers, and herein a code is used for the residence. Twenty-four volumes of records have been searched. These books are not indexed individually; however, the volumes in the Ohio Land Office may be found indexed in the General Card Index File there. The first mention of each name, in each place of residence and in each Land Office is listed. In cases where additional information seemed needed, location of land is also given, such as section, township and range. The information is listed according to Land Office. The Zanesville Land Office records from 1812 to 1820 are included. Now in the Ohio Historical building, these are a collection of old sheets of paper-faded and worn. Also included is a rare list of the Donation Tract (land given to any man willing to carry a gun, reside on his farm and be ready to protect the approaches to Marietta). The land location is coded and covers from 1790 to 1820. The faded ink, the old style hand-writing and the hours of work made some errors inevitable. This is presented as accurate as possible. It is hoped that your ancestor is included. Mayburt Stepehnson Riegel, Columus, Ohio, Published by the OHIO GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, 454 Park Avenue West, P.O. Box 2625, Mansfield, Ohio 44906.

Thanks, Debbie, I have taken your advice and sent a request to him and maybe he can help or if not, make a different suggestion. I was surprised that GEORGE GEPHART was not found in the historical newspaper section as he was at one time Superintendent of Streets and his brother, Jacob Gephart had a very lengthy obituary when he died in 1928.

Hi List, Would some kind soul do a land record lookup for me? I am looking for a land purchase "Grantee" record for John Silvey between 1844 and 1852. I would like to know who he bought the land from. John and his wife Sophronica sold this land May 18, 1852 Thanks for your time. John Welsh

On Ebay (link below): Description This stampless letter has a manuscript 'postmark' for New Haven, ILL 14 Aug, a handwritten 25 cent rate, and is addressed to Mrs. Catharine Dana, Marietta, Washington county, Ohio, and is a lengthy three+ page letter written by 'Lucy Ann', to Dear Mother & Sisters. The headline is Heralds Prairie, August 11, 1840. Some abstracts: ". [I] was taken sick & confined to my bed for six days, with a violent attack of the flux accompanied by a fever. This disease seemed almost to defy the power of medicine to subdue it as Mrs. Smith tried her Masant[?] pills on me to perfection . but without success." "Cynthia came up & took care of me when I was sick & my old man watched over me day & night with the greatest care & attention he indeed nursed me faithfully but yet I wanted to see my Mammy." ". our Sacramental meeting held in New Haven the last of August. I went on Saturday & stayed in town until the meeting had concluded, Mr. Hensley [?] from Carmi assisted Mr. Spilman he is a very pleasant engaging speaker." "John Wilson joined the Church ." "I was present at the immersion of five that took place at once which consisted of Bethanny Pearce, Wh[???] Potts & wife, Malinda Haskins & old Thomas Maghue [?]." "I am truly anxious to see you all particularly Henrietta since she has a babe." "She will feel sorry when I get off to Mississippi that she did not come & see me. But I must tell you that Aunt Amanda has a fine Daugter though I have not seen her since as it was born about the time I was taken sick." "Mr. Mitchell said he wants to write a little in this letter but he is so busy about his wheat that he as not a moment to spare as he lost several days on account of my sickness. He wished me to tell George that White county has elected Whig candidates to a man except county Commissioner & many are daily turning to the Hero of Tippacanoe almost every Whig in the County walks with a Tippacanoe staff selected from the Battle ground. Our whole country is in a state of confusion Politics run high I am afraid Mr. Smith will injure his health pleading for the cause. Do send him some more Whig papers, he enjoys them so well." More names and news mentioned. Condition of the letter rates average, there' s a tear in the seal area that runs to the side, and right through the manuscript postmark; it was mended a little bit with archival tape from the back. Good thing is -- very interesting contents. Of course, William Henry Harrison was the Whig who was elected President, but died after a short time in Office. It will take a little while to get used to her handwriting. I did a little looking around on the internet and I think the writer of this letter was Lucy Ann Dana, born 1814 Walnut, Tippah, Mississippi, daughter of John Dana and Catherine Walton (this was a Washington co., OH family?), and married William N. Mitchell in 1830 in Carmi, White county, Illinois. A genealogist and historian will have a lot of fun with all the names and stuff. As usual with stampless letters, after writing on one or more sides of a sheet of paper, the letter was folded several times and mailed. An interesting letter good for genealogy and history research. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2980566193&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1
