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.
