Another was an Ella Frances, b. 13 May 1883. I am also wondering about the Dave, b. 25 Dec 1870, son of O. J. and Plunk. The O could have very well been a C and was just misread. I also have this in my notes from looking at these cemetery records: "Possibly a brother of G. W. Ozment, b. 08 Jul 1848 and William K. Ozment, b. ca 1861 Father and mother born in NC according to census, the same as G. W. and William K." Link: Ozment Family Genealogy URL: <http://members.aol.com/eleanorcol/OzmentFamily.html>

Excerpt from the Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock, Ark; found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~arlincol/arkgaz.html Jul 16, 1929 Star City - James O. Ozment, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. B.H. Ozment, died at his home near Feenyville yesterday.

This was posted on a Jasper County, MO site about veterans of the Civil War. These men are buried in Fasken Cemetery. One is an Ozment. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mocivwar/Jasper.html Fasken Cemetery Carr, William W. 16 Jan 1836 -1908. Co. G, 76th EN MO Militia & Co.

I found this on the Saline Co., IL Genweb Page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsaline/2obits1922.txt. It is an excerpt from the Eldorado Journal, describing the aftermath of a bad storm that hit the town of Harrisburg on Sunday, July 23, 1922: "The large chimney on the palatial residence of Thos. L. Ozment on Walnut street was struck by lightning and considerable damage done. Mrs. Ozment was stunned and it was thought for a time that her hearing had been affected, but from this she soon recovered. When this fine residence was being erected another chimney in the home was struck by lightning and much damage done." The same transcriber also had excerpts from the paper that named Thos. L. Ozment as a member of the grand jury for Saline County, IL, and named Dr. Freeman H. Ozment, of Harrisburg, as Coroner, at least between 1917-1919. Both were mentioned in reports of inquests and deaths that were reported in the news articles. Caroline Miller

Posted on: OZMENT Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/o/z/OZMENT/queries/23 Surname: ------------------------- Hi Eleanor, I came to the same conclusion as you to the origin of Dan Ozment of Crocket Co. 1880. son of Calvin Ozment.You state: "...He is the only one in my files who could possibly be this Dan. He was the son of Calvin J. Ozment and Nancy A. Unknown. Calvin was in Crockett Co, TN in 1880 so that is another clue that this might be his father. Unfortunately I have not been able to find Calvin's parents yet. Here is all that I have..." This means you have further information about my family who originate fron David & Eliza (possibly Moore) Ozment and I would love to correspond with you and share information.\ regards, John Stevens

Posted on: OZMENT Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/o/z/OZMENT/queries/21 Surname: Heath, Lilley, Perry, Ozment ------------------------- Hi, My wife is related to the Crockett Co., TN Ozment Family. The earliest Ozment lived in Haywood Co. on land that would be transferred to forming Crockett Co. in 1872. His name was David Ozment and he had a wife Eliza. I Cannot find you in my compilation of known Ozment. I take it you can't carry the line any further back than Dan Ozment. I have an unclassified Daniel P. Ozment who was 9 years old for the 1880 census, he was the son of Calvin J. Osment of Crockett Co. for the 1880 census. I believe this Calvin to have been listed of McNairy Co., TN for 1870 census. If so, than were are talking a different branch of Ozment. However they would be related further back say Wilson Co. TN or Guliford Co., NC. I have further information. Please communicate through email my address is stevensj@gwi.net regards, John Stevens

Posted on: OZMENT Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/o/z/OZMENT/queries/19 Surname: OZMENT, BLAND ------------------------- I have no proof but I think your Dan Ozment is probably Daniel P. Ozment, born ca 1871 in TN. He is the only one in my files who could possibly be this Dan. He was the son of Calvin J. Ozment and Nancy A. Unknown. Calvin was in Crockett Co, TN in 1880 so that is another clue that this might be his father. Unfortunately I have not been able to find Calvin's parents yet. Here is all that I have.
