Is anyone familiar with or ever heard of the Midland Furnace...I believe this is where my ggggrandfather Milton CRAWFORD worked while they lived in Scioto Co., OH.

Hello; Can anyone tell me where the sites of the Iron Furnaces were located in the Green Township Area of Scioto Co.Oh were? Franklin Furnace, Junior Furnace, Ohio Furnace ect. My GG granfather & 2 of his brothers were amoung the men who operated these Furnaces.

Dear Judy Lee Nichols, You asked for help in deciphering the place of birth of a woman, state or country, which in the handwriting of the one who recorded the information looked like "VET SLERUN". I have two suggestions. First, it might be "Sweden", which is "Sverige" in their language. The second possibility is "Switzerland", whose official names are "Schweitz", "Suisse" and "Svizzera", in the three languages which are spoken in that alpine country [German, French and Italian]. In addition, the name used at the time of the recording of the information might have been different than today's. The pronunciation of any of these names when transcribed by the recorder could have resulted in the version you have found. Then again, the answer might be something completely different. I submit these thoughts for your consideration, in the hope that they may be of help. Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Fellow Researcher of the Lower Scioto Valley, Ohio

Judy If the place of birth information came from the OH records, you may have to use some "creative reading" to decipher it. Maybe it was originally difficult to read handwriting or maybe typing problems, but these are some of the typed entries that I've come across in the death index while searching for my ancestors. After studying them awhile (and having a good chuckle), I figured out most of them. No wonder it took so long to find them. <G> I'm not complaining. At least they were there. :) These are all THROCKMORTON from counties in OH. THROCKMOCITO AILI County Name: SHELFJV THROCKMO RTOHOIIFR County Name: SCIOTO THROCKMO RTEESTHEI R County Name:IYAHHOGA THROCKMA TIIOSEPI I County Name: SCIOTO THROCKM RTOFDWARI D County Name: SCIOTO Patricia

Birthplace of Mother (State or Country) ??????VET SLNERUN????? any suggestions appreciated. Judy

Hello, The 1830 Ross Co. Census lists the family of Robert Stokesberry, wife Ann/Anna, and 4 sons living in Concord Township. With help, I found that two of these sons married in Hamilton Co, IN in 1840. I have been unable to locate Robert or Ann/Anna after this census. Can anyone help me, or suggest places to further look? Thanks

I am still hoping that the man who was researching GEORGE H. STATEN and his wife ELLEN (GILLEN) will contact me. I have lost his address. I have obtained some new STATEN information that includes his family from Portsmouth, Ohio.

Thomas MILLER was born to my grandmother Mary (Molly) Catherine MILLER between 1885 and 1895, probably in Franklin TWP. Ross Co.or that area. The father is unknown to me. Thomas was my uncle and half brother to my Mother Susie Elizabeth Wallrodt Emmitt. My mother kept Thomas a secret from me all her life. I know only his name. Can anyone help. Any information will be appreciated. John W. Emmitt Researching: BATEMAN, DAVIS, EMMITT, GROSS, DAVIS, RENOUD, MILLER, WALLRODT/WALLRATH all the above from the Lower Scioto Valley Ohio.

James Isaac MILLER my G grandfather was born in Jackson Twp. Pike Co. Ohio 11 Apr. 1834. Family records hint he may have had a twin Remus who died at birth.. I have a lot of information on James Isaac but have never found his parents or siblings. If anyone out there has access to the 1850 census it is possible he would have been at home with his parents and brothers and sisters. Where I live I don't have access to this census.
