Judy's website has transcriptions of the Bebout & Yohe funeral records through 1915. But a visit to the Monongahela Library is definitely worthwhile. They have the original Bebout & Yohe books covering many decades - up to the 1970s, as I recall. The funeral books are indexed in the front of each volume, but there is no master index. They are stored in a closet in the locked local history room; the library staff will let you in after you sign in at the front desk. Also in that room are lots of local history books and the Monongahela Republican on microfilm. If your family members are buried in Monongahela Cemetery, you might want to visit the cemetery office, which I believe is open weekdays until 4 or 4:30. They can provide a copy of the burial record, which sometimes contains genealogical info, and direct you to the gravesite(s). The cemetery is a just a few minutes' drive from the library. Happy hunting!

Hello listers, I am planning my first trip to Monongahela Library looking for some information on my family from the area. Can anyone give me any pointers about my first visit.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: AlvaLynnVanHouten Surnames: Cox, Jamison Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.washington/3462/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Noah Cox of Washington County, Pennsylvania, Guernsey, Harrison & Pickaway Counties Ohio and Noah Cox, Jr. of Starr County, Texas The 1800 and 1810 Washington County, PA census for Mary Cox, the mother of Noah Cox shows the following: 1800 has one male age 10 - 16 and the 1810 has one male age 16 to 26. As Noah was the only male child this should be him. Noah Cox first appears by himself in the 1813 thru 1815 tax rolls for Hopewell Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania as a single freeman. This information comes from an abstract of these tax rolls and the originals need to be found and checked to verify the accuracy of the abstract. On Sept 3, 1814 Noah Cox purchased 160 acres of government land in Guernsey County, Ohio. It's description was NE 1/4 of Sec 19 in twp 11 in range 7 of the Steubenville district. Both the tract entry book and the land entry file say Noah Cox "of Washington County, Pennsylvania" was the purchaser. The land was patented in 1818 after Noah finished paying for it. On 17 October 1816 Noah Cox and Mary Jamison marry in Guernsey County, Ohio. On 27 January 1819 Noah Cox and his wife Mary of Washington County, Pennsylvania sell 2 acres of land in Hopewell Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania to his sister Mary or Polly Cox.. Noah Cox appears in the 1820 census for Derry (Londonderry) Township, Guernsey County OH. He is aged 16 to 26 in this census. Noah and his wife Mary Cox of Londonderry Township, Guernsey County, Ohio sell land in Guernsey County described as the NE 1/4 of sect 19 in twp 11 range 7 on 13 Jan 1821. One of the witnesses is a Robert Jamison that should be investigated as the possible father of Noah's wife Mary. On February 13, 1821 Noah Cox purchased 75 acres government land in Guernsey County. It was described as the west 1/2 of the south west 1/4 of sec 32 of twp 11 range 7. Noah also appears in various tax rolls for Guernsey County. Some are for personal property and some are for real property (land). They are: 1820 real property 1826 real property personal property 1827 real property personal property 1828 real property 1829 real property 1830 real property (The 1828, 1829 & 1830 real property tax listing for Noah Cox are suspect as he sold his land in Guernsey County and appears to have moved before these years.) Noah and his wife Mary Cox of Londonderry Township, Guernsey County, Ohio sell land in Guernsey County, described as west 1/2 of southwest 1/4 of section 32 in township 11 range 7 of lands sold at Steubenville on 23 October 1827. A James Cox was one of the witnesses on this deed. As Noah had no siblings per records from Washington County, PA and as frequently relatives witnessed deeds, this James should be investigated. Noah Cox purchased land in Harrison County, Ohio on 10 November 1827. It was described as the NE 1/4 of sect 28, twp 11, Range 7 of land sold at Steubenville. Noah Cox appears in the 1828 tax roll for Freeport Township, Harrison County, Ohio. (The microfilmed tax rolls I consulted was missing the years 1826 and 1827. If possible, these years and the years 1829 through 1839 need to be looked at in Harrison County Courthouse records to complete a search for Noah Cox records there.) Noah and Mary Cox of Harrison County, Ohio sell land in Harrison County, Ohio 17 Nov 1828. It is described as the NE 1/4 of sect 28 of Twp 11 of Range 7 of lands sold at Steubenville. Noah Cox appears in the 1830 census in Freeport Township, Harrison County, Ohio. He is 40 - 50 years of age. Let us fast forward to 1877 and Noah Cox, Jr. in Starr County, Texas. Noah, Jr. is an important man in local politics. A biography of him appears in the Texas Legal Directory for 1876 - 1877, and it states he was born in Harrison County, Ohio 27 July 1830 and came to Texas in January 1851 from Circleville (Pickaway County) Ohio. His tombstone also states the same birth place and date. At this time these are the best available sources that establish these facts. In Circleville, Ohio is the High Street Cemetery. Sometime around 1963 this cemetery was "cleaned up" and the stones were removed. It does appear that the cemetery had its tombstone inscriptions recorded before the "cleanup" and copies were placed in the Pickaway County Recorders office and the Circleville City Recorders office. The inscriptions appear in the Pickaway Quarterly the publication of the Pickaway County Historical Society of Winter 1974. Recorded for the Cox family is the following: Cox, Mary; consort of N. Cox died March 16, 1841, aged 48 yrs., 1mo., 23d's; and Her children "Arise with her" Erected in memory by N. Cox Cox, Mary, daughter of N. & M. Cox died Oct. 1838, aged 6 yrs. Cox, Nancy, daughter of N. & M. Cox; died Aug. 1838, aged 15 yrs. Cox, Noah, Sr. died Oct 5. 1839, aged 48 yrs., 5 mos., 14 days. "There is rest in heaven". Noah Cox, Jr. being born in Harrison County, Ohio points to him being the son of Noah Cox from Washington County, PA. Noah Cox, Jr. having went to Texas from Circleville, Ohio appears to be the person who had the tombstone to the Cox family erected in High Street Cemetery in Circleville, Ohio. In the 1840 census, Mary Cox appears in Circleville, Pickaway County, Ohio. This appears to be the widow of Noah Cox. Admittedly there is a gap in the records on Noah Cox from 1830 to 1839. Possibly further research will uncover an explanation such as residence in a county not known of at this time. There is thoughts that Noah Cox, Jr. is the son of Noah Cox in Fairfield Township, Madison County, Ohio who appears there in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census, I take the position that this is not so and my major reason is thus. Noah Cox, Jr. was born in Harrison County, Ohio per his biography and his tombstone. Noah Cox "of Washington County, Pennsylvania" is the most likely Noah Cox to have been in that county in 1830. The Noah Cox in Madison County is traceable in the census back to Deerfield Township, Ross County, Ohio in the 1850, 1840 and 1830 census. This Noah also married a lady named Mary Cook, and the family knowledge from the descendants of Noah Cox, Jr. seems to indicate that the mother of Noah Cox, Jr. was a Jamison and not a Cook. Can anyone add to this? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Wright in 1917-1918. But what I also have been relying on is information gathered by my half-sisters, ex-son-in-law in California who I knew nothing about until I began this journey with my sister who lives in Nevada, but he has done a lot of work but and I dont know what his sources are. So, I tried to just begin with my father and then his father, and the name discrepancies are mind boggling such as M. Bostic Wright, Montgomery Bostick Wright, Boston M Wright and Bostic M Wright. And I also found on a census that my father whose name is Rossie Burnett Wright, was listed as Rocky Wright and also listed as a female. But his other siblings which I know are correct are all there, except for one brother of his who was listed once as Howard instead of Howell. SO, I am learning quickly about info not being reliable. Also, found another question on my gf's mother as Catherine Morris but I show something with Mary C. and then found a Margaret T. ??? I'm going crazy. I will just be glad to do th! e DNA and see what turns up there. I spoke to my sister-in-law in Tampa, FL who says there is a picture of our ggfa or gggfa with Milton Wright and that they were brothers. And I dont know who has this picture, but she says she remembers our grandmother having it at one time, but doesnt know what happended to it from there. My gfa William Brantly Wright has siblings listed as: (born about) Zachary Taylor b: 1848, Eliza Jane b: 1850, James Aaron b: 1852, Samuel D. b: 1854, Salomon Carson b: 1857, Naomia E.R. b: 1859, John Bunyon b: 1861, Annie Florence b:1864 and Thomas Montgomery b: 1866. then from a first marriage there was Charlotte P. b: 1844, John Calvin b: 1845 and Alfred Dockery b: 1846. All Children of Aaron Wright b: 1817 in Brutons, NC (Montgomery County). My question for you now is: in your line I see (Samuel 3, James 2, Samuel 1) What can you tell me about them. As my g-grandfather had siblings with these first names. Melanie ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
