I had gotten a list from a kind lookup volunteer on the Morehead or Moorhead cemetery in Carroll co. OH a few years ago. I just didn't get the Thomas & wife Mary recorded in my gen files on the computer so will get them in there now. Martha Morehead d. June 6, 1860 at 37 yrs 7 m 9 days is I believe the Martha Ralston who married Abraham Morehead in Brooke county 28 June 1841 in Brooke county by J. Calloway. I believe I had found Abraham married after Martha died & he is buried in the Harlem Springs Cemetery in Carroll co. I believe he was listed there in 1870 census & poss married with the 2nd wife; Abraham Morehead, age 53, Mary E. age 44, Cind E. 6 & Abraham 5. in 1880 there is a Martha __? age 15 there. Martha is buried there in the Morehead cemetery with these young children, (how heart breaking to see such young kids listed who died so young) Listed as kids of A & M. Morehead; Eleanor d. Oct 24 1849 age 3 yrs 6 m. Mary d. Nov 15, 1854 age 12 yrs 1 m 2 days. Joseph d. June 7 1855, age 1 yr 3m 29 days Milard F. died 12 Mar 1864 12 yrs 6 m 6 days. 3 other children in 1850 & 1860 census Nancy b. abt 1844 age 6 in 1850 & 16 in 1860. Andrew b. abt 1848 also in 1850 & 1860 census Mary b abt 1856 in 1860 & 1870 census, Mary A. b. est 1857? married Hamilton R. Blazer on 6 Dec 1877 in Carroll Co. died 16 Nov. 1915. *(they had kids Zink Aug 1882, Grace Dec 1890, Martha 1903, Ethel Martha in 1881 d in 1931 & hattie in 1880.)* Thomas Moorehead & Polly Hill married Polly Hill on June 4, 1821 by Robert W. Laughlin, J.P. Samuel Moorhead & Sarah Holmes on Aug 27, 1824 by John Rea, Vd. M. Thomas died April 13, 1844 51 yrs 5 m. 28 days, Mary wife of Thomas; d. June 6, 1836 36 yrs, 6 m, 24 days. I think Mary is a nickname of Polly or vice/versa? on the Ohio gravestones.org site they listed there is also a George F. Moorehead, son of C & N Moorehead March 11, 1852, age 2 yrs 2 m, 27 days, ? will have to check for them in the census. On Findagrave.com they list them also. James Hill d. May 24, 1839, & Nancy Hill d. May 18, 1837 poss likely parents of Polly Morehead. Also have a listing in the Will Abstracts of wash Co. PA for Samuel Moorhead *Morehead* Moorehead, dated 18 Aug 1814, probated 1 Oct. 1814, Exec; William Berry, Patrick Forsyth. Bene Wife Elizabeth; Sons; John; James; Francis; William; David; Samuel; Robert; Dau; Elizabeth; Grandch; Samuel Moorhead (son of James) Mentions James McBurney, Esq Acct# M-60-1816. In the Three Springs cemtery near Weirton, Hancock co, there is a William Morehead d. Sept 28, 1842 * in the Hancock county cemetery book says he was 75 but that puts his birth year about 1767 & to old to marry Sarah Ralston of Brooke. another cemetery listing found on Ohio digitalshoebox website listed he was age 48 so birth year 1794. there is no Sarah Morehead listed in either cemetery listings so where did she go? Wife Sarah Ralston Morehead may have married a John Cozier in 1849 & listed with him in the census with a son William Morehead. So looking for more on them. OR there is a Sarah Morehead 74 yrs old b. ca 1806 in WVA & parents b. in VA in the 1880 census of Ritchie WV. living with Zelba Wade & wife Rebecca Wade. ? is another possibility. I know William & Sarah had a daughter Mary Morehead b. 8 Mar 1831 in VA married John A. Crayton on 1 Nov. 1849 & had 8 children 2 who died as infants, a daughter Mrs. Lillian Carr d. 1893, Mary died 9 Nov 1923 in Westerville, Franklin co OH at 92 yrs 8 m & 1 day buried at Otterbein Cemetery of that city.
