Carol, Here's a reference posted at Rootsweb: In the month of May, 1782, there was an unusual stir among the settlements when it became known that the expedition against Sandusky was to go forward. The place for assembling was carefully considered, and from its central location on the line of a majority of the settlements, Mingo bottom , in Jefferson county, Ohio, the place where WILLIAMSON'S men had rendezvoused for the expedition against the Tuscarawas, was deemed the most desirable and chosen. Mingo bottom has gained much celebrity in history. It is what is now Stuebenville township, Jefferson county, Ohio, about two and a half miles below the town of Steubenville, and is a rich plateau, on the immediate bank of the Ohio, in the south half of section twenty-seven, of township two, range one, of the government survey, extending south to a small affluent of the Ohio, known as Cross creek. Opposite the upper portion of Mingo bottom is Mingo island, containing about ten acres, although much larger in 1782. It supports a scanty growth of willow bushes only; but, within the recollection of many now living, it was studded with trees of large size, particularly the soft maple. Cross creek, on the Virginia side, flows into the Ohio about three-fourths of a mile below. Before the great flood of 1832, the island contained not less than twenty acres. The usual place of crossing was directly from shore to shore across the head of the island. At the landing on the west bank the vagrant Mingoes had once a village-deserted, however, as early as 1772. Their town gave name to the locality. The Ohio has been forded at this crossing in very low water. The bluffs of the river are below the island, on the Virginia side; above on the Ohio side. Mingo bottom contains about two hundred and fifty acres. Click here http://www.rootsweb.com/~indian/frospg.htm for the entire web page.

Hello - I'm new to the list and thought I'd post some of the surnames I'm looking for in the Brooke County area in hopes that someone may have a connection or additional information. PHILIP GOOD was born in Baden Baden, Germany about 1837, and is said to have arrived in the US at the age of 16. I believe his parents were CHARLES and DORGEN (DORA?) GOOD, born about 1800 and 1810 in Prussia and Hanover, respectively. Philip served in the Civil War and was at the Battle of Gettysberg (though I've been unable to substantiate this) and he operated a Bakery and Ice Cream Parlor in Wellsburg. He married Mary FORNEY (FORNI) in 1868 in Monroe Co., OH, and they settled in Wellsburg (and were buried in Wellsburg) Mary Forney's parents were Albenio Maccabeio FORNI and Margaretha Pfeffer FORNI of Powhatan Point, OH (Margaretha was the d. o. Frederick Pfeffer and Mary Kuhn) Philip and Mary Good's known children: Anna Lizabeth Good - b. 1872 m. Marcus Amick PITNER (son of Levi PITNER and Annie MAYBERRY) Joseph Philip Good - b. abt. 1876 Paul Good - b. abt. 1878 Carl Good - b. 1880 Forney Good - b. 1880 - buried Wellsburg Jessie May Good - b. 1881 m. Charles E. KYLE Thanks -- Debbie Moors
