Sons= Joseph, Samuel, John & Andrew- all born before 1810 census. I'm looking for info on the Andrew's & John's...think I got the Joseph & Samuels sorted out.. (but who knows, ha) a Ann Allison married to a Andrew Ralston in Wash co census 1850 like to find out more on them. I know a Martha Ralston married a Abraham Morehead in Brooke in 1841= I found a Abraham Morehead's wife Martha Ralston was in the Carroll Co OH census 1850 & 1860 & she died shortly after & buried at the Morehead cemetery in that county, Abraham remarried & buried at the Harlem Springs Cemetery there. I can't prove yet this is the same Martha Ralston who married in Brooke yet. Martha of Brooke co had a sister Catherine Ralston who married Alexander Porter- in the marriage records he was listed as Alexander Curtis... they moved to Carroll Co Oh by 1832- have a land deed they were in Holmes Co Oh in 1832 when they sold 86 acres of land on Kings Creek to a William SMITH Oct 13, 1832.
