Very awesome! Your reply sparked my interest in that you talked about researching early settlers of Washington County. So...I was wondering if you could assist me in my research of my early settler. I am not having much luck on my own. His name was Felix Magee (this is how it is spelled on his court paperwork)-he immigrated from Ireland to Quebec in 1819-then on to Lewistown, New York finally arriving in Washington County between 1819 and 1822. I have a copy of the Intention of Declaration to become a Citizen from the Washington County Courthouse. He settled in Salem Township-he died Aug. 18, 1873 of the age of 107. He is buried in Good Hope Cemetery-Lowell. We was a farmer. What I need help with are his early years. Did he have family here-lots of early Magees-maybe that's why he chose Washington County area. I wonder where he was before he came to Wash. Co.en-route from New York.I have found his name listed in Williams History of Wash. Co., Ohio-page 589-upper right column as a first family. Hope to hear from you soon or from anyone who knows of this name for that matter. Felix married Eve Hoff-lots of Hoffs in Wash. Co. as well-so I have nothing on her. Children: William, John, James and I believe a dtr., Nancy. Thank you in advance for any light you may be able to shed on my gggg grandfather.
