Amazing as it sounds, it was sunny and 72 degrees on the campus of Shenandoah University in Winchester, VA today. This isn't a useful post, but I had the opportunity to chat with a Tisinger researcher today, not connected to my family, but our family trees are certainly in the same part of the forest. Information is forthcoming about this year's Shenandoah County Heritage Day - anyone who is interested in displaying the fruits of their research at the sixth annual event can contact me and I will get you all the information you need on what when and where.

VA in Abram Hess household in 1850census in Ohio Good afternoon Vashenan Subscribers, It is a balmy sunny 72 degrees in Lakeland, Florida today. A beautiful day to be outside but I am at my computer trying to figure out a puzzle. Possibly someone from this List can help. In the 1850 census for Champaign County, Ohio there is a Jesse Bushong age 25 living in the household of Abram and Sarah Hess. They were all born in the Valley of Virginia. Does anyone have any information on this Hess family? What was Sarah's maiden name? Was it Bushong or something else. Is this Jesse Bushong the son of Peter Bushong? Did these people leave Virginia, go to Ohio and then come back to Virginia because they didn't like it? Many questions and no answers at this point. Help! ------------------------------------ 1850 Federal Census: Ohio Mad River Township, Champaign County Enumerated 3 August 1850 Page 453A Lines 4-9, HH 293/291 Abram Hess 41/Male/Farmer/$8000/VA Sarah Hess 36/Female/VA {Is she a Bushong?} Rosanna Hess 17/Female/AttendedSchool/OH {Twin} Sarah Hess 17/Female/AttendedSchool/OH {Twin} Malissa Hess 1/Female/OH Jesse Bushong 25/Male/Laborer/VA ----------------------------------------------------------------- Gloria Bushong **************Start the year off right.
