Joyce at jalthoff@qn.net asks where Dr. Charles H. Smith, Sr., was born. I don't know anything about the Smith ancestors, but the people I believe were Dr. Smith's parents married in Jefferson County, Ohio. I don't know when Dr. Smith, Sr., began to practice medicine in Marietta; he gained a license to practice through Ohio's Long Practice Act rather than graduation from an approved medical school. Thanks for your interest. N. L. Ronshausen Nhelbert@aol.com

Do you have any idea where Charles Sr. was born?

Union Township was formed in 1812, but over time, parts of it had been annexed out to other townships. Most of it went to Watertown, and smaller parts were annexed to Adams and Muskingum townships. It had grown so small that in Dec. of 1877 it had lost it's identity.

In researching 1800s census & voter records for my BRIGGS ancestors, I have come upon Union Township. Where was that area & what became of it? Thank you, Mark Moeser

Thanks so much. I had not been able to find that cemetery listing. I knew she had been alive in Dec 1948, when a brother had died. She was born Dec 1869 based on the 1900 census. Gene Huffman

In the reading for that cemetery there is a Clara Sole, b. 1869, d. 1950. No other date are given. You may be able to find her death on the S.S. Death index. The book is "Cemeteries of Grandview Cemetery" published by the Washington County Chapter of Ohio Genealogical Society.

Does anyone have the cemetery inscriptions or list of burials at the Fairview Church Cemetery (also referred by some as Parr Hill Cemetery)? It is in Grandview Twp. I know that Erastas Wilson Sole was buried there in 1918. I am trying to find his widow Clara A. Huffman Sole, and if so, when did she die? Thanks, Gene Huffman

MARRIAGE RECORDS, WASHINGTON COUNTY, OHIO (1790-1823) GROOM SURNAMES A-B (Searchable) http://hometown.aol.com/washcohistory/page4.html Debbie Noland Nitsche Diamonddeb@comcast.net Washington Co., Ohio (A History and Genealogy Website) http://home.comcast.net/~diamonddeb/Index.html

Need help with the Eliza Jane noted in the following marriage record. Please note that the groom is the son of Jacob NEWLAND and Sara Tice with Sara being the daughter of Solomon TICE, Sr. Washington Co. Marriage Index, 1789 to 1918 Henry NEWLAND r Wash 7-28-1854 Eliza Jane TICE r Wash Eliza's death certificate claims she was born in Washington Co., but doesn't name parents or a birth date. Going by later census records, she should have been born abt. 1834. This would have made her about 16 for the 1850 Census (four years prior to marrying Henry). Coincidentally, Solomon TICE, Jr.'s family has a 16 year-old Eliza Jane CAMERON living with them. Is it possible the above marriage record should have read CAMERON instead of TICE? Anyone have other info to help guide me? Thanks, PAM BAILEY pmbailey2@earthlink.net

Any information about Dr. Charles H. Smith, Sr. and his son, Dr. Charles H. Smith, Jr., will be greatly appreciated. They were medical doctors in Marietta. Dr. Charles H. Smith, Sr., was born Feb 1843 and married Sarah (or Mariah) Ryan. Dr. Charles H. Smith, Jr., was born Jan 1868 and married Jennie Pugh. In addition to family information, it would be nice to know where their medical practices were located, what years they had medical practices in Marietta, and all sorts of "colorful" information.

I can't help you with George Miller inquiry. The names you are searching are not in my Miller or Carpenter ancestry. I think you join most of us genealogists who hear stories about Indians in our heritage; some true, some fancy. Well, here's mine -- which I accept as being more than fancy but not absolutely proven as true. You may have heard the legend of Chief Blue Jacket, born Marmaduke Van Swearingen b. Jan. 2, 1763 in Pennsylvania. He was captured June 5, 1771 by the Shawnees while he was hunting with his brother. They let his brother go and he willingly went with the Shawnee warriors who adopted him. Legend has it he taught a young Tecumseh to be a warrier. In 1785, he was elected Chief of the Maykujay Shawnees. Blue Jacket led the Shawnee Nation in wars against the white men. He married Wabethe and they had no children that were verified. In August 1795, Blue Jacket & 90 chiefs from 12 tribes of the Old Northwest signed their marks to the Treat of Greenville. He died June 26, 1810 in Sandwich, Canada. Chief Blue Jacket was my 1st cousin, 7 times removed. And since he was adopted by the Indian Nation, I do not claim any direct Indian blood. If you decide to research this further, you'll find a raging controversy (probably as old as Blue Jacket himself) as to whether or not he was Marmaduke Van Swearingen. I'm on the "he was" side. You'll find his story fascinating.

On October 25, 1860, Martin VB Potts marred Liddy L. Monroe. Does anyone know who this person is. I don't know if it is a second marriage for her or her first or her age, but since I work with all the Monroe families in the area I am assuming she belongs to one of them, but as of now I can't place her. Any help would be appreciated. Jerilyn
