Seeking information on Sarah Pierce who was born in Ross county Ohio in 1845. She later moved to Illinois and married Oscar Harwick. Can find no information on her parents. Please help. Pjenkins@hit.net

Seeking further information on Isaac DeVoss who died 5 Sept, 1842, in PIKE COUNTY, OHIO, and who married Delilah DeLong in 1835, not sure of where, as well as information on any of their children. Am the great-great-grandson of a Solmon S. DeVoss, who with his brother Allen, moved to from Ohio to Tippecanoe County, Indiana in the 1840s and are believed by some to have descended from an Isaac DeVoss of Ohio, county unknown. We are wondering if this is the same ISAAC DE VOSS of PIKE COUNTY. Any information would be appreciated and will share what little information we have. Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this regard. Sincerely, Robert Campbell of Belmont Shore, Long Beach, California, DeVoss descendant. BlmtShore@aol.com

I am searhing for any information on the children of William GUTHREY and Cathering THEOBALD. William and Catherine were likely married in Greene County, Pennsylvania. They moved to Pike County, Ohio in the mid to late 1790's. They apparently had six children and I would like to know more about these children. I look forward to hearing from anyone who may have any information at all. I have much information on William's ancestors and am willing to share it. Thanks

Recently someone requested information on the Brown Family in Ross County, Ohio. I have found some early Brown deaths in Pike County, Ohio. At one time part of Beaver Township in Pike County was part of Jefferson Township in Ross County. The Brown family was one of the earlier settlers in & around 1807 in Pike County. I'm not researching this name but if you want this information email me at hpenning@bright.net. Hazel

My name is Diane Crabtree and I am researching the Crabtree name. I have traced my husband's family. My husband's grandfather was William Henry Crabtree born April 23, 1907 in Howell County, Mo the son of William Edward Crabtree b. April 4, ?(I don't know, I have dates from 1872 to 1879)in Jackson County, Ohio and Lottie Jane Green. William Edward is the son of Jasper L. Crabtree born 1848 died 1933 and Margaret Kern (not positive on the spelling of that). And that is all I know. I would appreciate any help you can give me. lec.ddc@townsqr.com

You might try writing to the Chillicothe Public Library. I know they have an obit file and if you send copy costs and SASE, I'm sure they'd copy them for you if you can't find someone here to help you. They have them on 3x5 cards, so copy costs would be minimal. I live about an hour away, but let me know if you don't get them some other way, maybe I can stop when I go to visit the graves south of there this year. Good hunting! Carol

If you can't find someone here to do the look up for you, you might try writing to the Chillicothe Library, they do have an obit index (seems like maybe 3x5 cards w/ obit on, but it's been a while since I've been there. Don't forget to send copy costs and SASE (I think their copiers charge a quarter and they should be able to put several on the same page) Good hunting!! Carol

Need some obits looked up at the Ross County Library in Chillicothe or at the Chillicothe Gazette newspaper archives. Trying to locate the parents on the following people. Hope the obits will list the parents and siblings. George LEMON, d: 1 May 1897 in Chillicothe, Ohio Sarah Elizabeth LEMON, nee HILL, d: 12 March 1886 in Chillicothe, Ohio Francis A. LEMON, d: 27 Jan 1876 in Chillicothe, Ohio Sarah was George's wife and I suspect that Francis and George were brothers. Any help is appreciated. I live in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I am willing to do lookups for people in the souther Oregon area. Yours Aye Jack Lemon

Dear Ancestor Your tombstone stands among the rest; Neglected and alone. The name and date are chiseled out On polished, marbled stone. It reaches out to all who care It is too late to mourn. You did not know that I exist You died and I was born. Yet each of us are cells of you In flesh, in blood, in bone. Our blood contracts and beats a pulse Entirely not our own. Dear Ancestor, the place you filled One hundred years ago Spreads out among the ones you left Who would have loved you so. I wonder if you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew That someday I would find this spot, And come to visit you. Author Unknown I really enjoyed this poem as I just found and visited the grave of my gggggrandfather in Pike County. He was born in 1771. Died 1832. Barb

I just joined this group and am searching for "cousins". My Feliz GRIMES b. 1797 ws married on 25 March 1821 in Ross County to Susannah BRIENT/BRYON. I descend from his son John, born 24 February 1824. I'm looking for other descendands of Felix. In the 1840 Ohio Census, he had nine children. I can only account for four of them: my John, Absolem, Henry W., and Rufus. Anything sound familiar? Pat in Fort Wayne IN

Have you done the later census work for your BROWNS? The birth place should be listed of each child in the household as you're aware I'm sure. Have you found copies of their death records and obits? Often times clues are found there as well as in marriage license applications. >From your message, I thought maybe these might be something you'd want to work on to possibly find more clues to your Ohio research. Were any of them in the military service? Pension and military records often contain a wealth of information.. .....just a few thoughts. Happy Hunting! Carol

I am trying to locate my gg-grandparents. I was informed this past weekend that my g-grandfather was born in the Chillicothe area by an eighty-two year old cousin of my mother's that I just located. This is quite an awakening since I have been searching for two years in the Mississippi-Alabama area. The story goes that William Thomas Brown born 13 Jun 1853 and a brother by the name George left Ohio and settled in the Madison County, MS area. From an old school project by my oldest sister I have his parents as Henry Brown and Mary _____. Any information on this set of Brown's would be greatly appreciated or if anyone doesn't mind checking the 1860 Ross County census for a Henry Brown with wife Mary and sons (I don't know if this is the only two children) - George and William Thomas I would be more than thankful.

Hello, I just wanted subscribers to know that I'm not available to do lookups. I live in Virginia, and I don't have access to Ohio records. I have answered a couple of queries, only because I had the name available in some of my files. Sorry I can't help those that have recently asked. Try the lookup volunteers that are available in most counties of Ohio... and good luck in your continued research. Marilyn Phipps email: jcp0001@erols.com

Will the person looking for the Stewart and Huffman lines please send me your e-mail address? My computer sent your message into the computer "black hole" before I could send you a reply. Janice

Hi Mary, I checked on your surname HISE (VAN HISE, VOORHISE), and although there were some VOORHEES, VOORHIES, VORHESS, VORHIS surnames in the Portsmouth area of Scioto Co; 1880 Census...there was no Levi HISE mentioned. However, I did find one Levi HISE in the 1850 Illinois Census, Fulton Co. (Centre), pg #304. Also, I found one Levi HISE in the 1860 Pennsylvania Census, York Co, (Chanceford Twp) pg #416. This sounds like your ancestor!!! Good luck in your continued search. Marilyn Phipps email: jcp0001@erols.com

Mary, you might look at the 1850 Scioto Co. Census page 214 at Levi HEISS. Bet that's your family. Carol

Hello All, I'm searching for surname MULLINS in and around Lucasville, Scioto Co. My father-in-law WILLIAM A. ZORNES was somehow related to MULLINS. I remember hearing him speak of Abe Mullins. He lived out of Lucasville on Bear Creek Road as did the MULLINS he spoke of. Does anyone know of these particular MULLINS? I would appreciate any help with the name as I'm sure not getting very far on the ZORNES name. Thanks so much, Echo Strassburg Zornes
