Hi! I'm new to this list, and I'm wondering if anybody is researching the LORD family who lived in Scioto Co., OH before travelling to IL. I've been working on the LORD branch of my family, and I've run into a brick wall, so to speak. The ancestor I'm researching is A.K. LORD, born about 1822. He married Susannah MC MULLENS, born about 1818. She had been married and had two children by this marriage; I don't know her maiden name. There is confusion about A.K. LORD's name. On his marriage record (April 24, 1845) to Susannah, his name is reported as "Alexander". I have other sources that indicate his name was Abner Kern LORD. I have even seen his name reported as being Albert. In 1850, here's the census info. for this couple: Jefferson Twp., Scioto County, Ohio Lord, A.K., 39 ( My not: probably 29) , laborer, OH " " , Susannah, 31, OH Mc Mullen, Mary, 13, OH " " , Joseph, 11, OH Lord, John, 4, OH " " , Albert, 2, OH " " , John, 24, laborer, OH By 1860, they had moved to Piatt Co., IL. Here's the census info. Willow Branch Twp., Piatt Co., IL, p. 4 Lord, Henry, 39, Wagon Maker, 6000, 300, OH Lucinda, 32, IN Mary E., 11, IL John, 10, IL William M., 5, IL Lucinda, 1, IL Two houses away: Lord, A.K., 38, farmer, OH Susannah, 42, OH John, 15, OH Albert, 14, OH Eliza J., 11, OH Sarah E., 8, OH Frank, 4, IL Froman, John, 21, farm labor, KY Knaman?, J., 20, farm labor, KY Williams, M., 20, farm labor, TN (The age for Eliza Lord is proably wrong; I think she was 9 at this time.) Anyway, does anybody know about this family? I think that Henry and John LORD were probably brothers of A.K. LORD. There was also the following marriages in Scioto Co., OH about the same time as A.K. LORD's marriage to Susannah. They could be sisters. Lord, Nancy Sp : Hood, George M : Mar 21, 1844 County : Scioto Co. Sex : F Lord, Eliza Sp : Lord, Ezra F. M : Nov 22, 1845 County : Scioto Co. Sex : F If you know anything about this family, please contact me! Thanks. Beth BSmith7439@aol.com
