Hello Debbie and Others: I own the following resources and will do look-ups from: "Early Ohioans' Residences from the Land Grant Records", Compiled by Mayburt Stephenson Riegel, and Published by The Ohio Genealogical Society, 454 Park Ave. West, P.O. Box 2625, Mansfield, Ohio 44906, 1976. Table of Contents: Introduction (included below) Land Grant Map Codes for Names Codes for Residences Cincinnati Land Office Refugee Tract Steubenville Land Office Chillicothe Land Office Canton - Wooster Land Offices Zanesville Land Office Marietta Land Office Donation Tract Lands To add to your interest I include the introduction here: "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 Stephenson Riegel Columbus, Ohio" Feel free to e-mail me directly, Elisa Elisa Tobia etobia@stny.rr.com 401 W.

Hello, Thank you for this generous offer! I have been searching for the family of Hannah Delong that m. Samuel Sprague at Waterford, Washington Co., Ohio in 1795. I found Hannah was b. abt. 1775-6 in Nova Scotia on FamilySearch.org, (no submitter given) and am pretty sure this Delong family came with the Joshua Sprague family to Coal Run, in Washington Co. Joshua had lived in Nova Scotia, leaving there before the Revolutionary War was breaking out. If you could find any of these very early Delong families, I may be able to track down Hannah's family history. Thanks again! Carolyn

Hi Debbie, I have the four volume set of Multiracial pioneers of the Ohio Valley : from the beginning to 1900 by Benjamin F. Bain. Out of respect to Mr. Bain and copyright I will not send large portions of the books to anyone but I would be happy to look up individuals and let people know if their families are included in the books and send information on one or two individuals. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has ancestors in these books. I was brought up very white but have a second great grandmother who is listed in the books as Mulatto. I hope to be able to find out more about her. Carol Carman ccarman114@aol.com

Some of you have sent me the resource materials that you have in reference your willingness to do look-ups for Wash. Co. Guess what!!?? I deleted them by mistake. :o( I feel terrible about it. If it isn't too much trouble, would you mind resending the TITLES of your books, CD, and transcripts again. I promise to print it out BEFORE I delete it. I'm sooooo sorry, that you took the time to get the info to me....and I screwed it up. :o( DEBBIE NOLAND NITSCHE PS.

I'm wondering if someone could obtain a marriage record for me? I only have month and year. The names are Charles Albert Lammers (or Chuck) and Rosemary A. Drerup. Married in Sept. 1940 in Marietta. Would this be a possibility for any list member? I would be glad to pay expenses. Thanks. Kathy Baker

I am going to St. Mary's tomorrow for a family reunion. Since Washington County is just over the bridge I'd like to visit the Methodist Cemetery in Jolly Township. Can anyone tell me where it is located. Some of my Littles are buried there and I'd like to get pictures of the headstones. Thanks, Judy
