Looking for info on Alpheus Ralston Ingram who may have been born somewhere in Kentucky. And then come to Wood County. I think he was a grandson of Abraham and Elizabeth Slaven Ingram, originally of Highland County, VA. There were four or five sons who migrated from Highland County, VA to Kentucky, back to WOOD and then to Licking County, Ohio. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If it is like the one in Clackamas County, OR, they print up booklets on cemetery listings, marriage etc. then maybe that book would give the names and places of my extended family! Next I would like to see if there are some books about the early days of the area. I love reading about stuff like that. My husbands cousin got us about about the adventures of their family crossing the Oregon Trail! Thank you so much for your help!

Another was listed in sandyville, jackson co. wv but the geographical coordinates show it to be the pond creek cemetery as listed in the wood county gen. cite. wood co. and jackson co. border one another on the ohio river halfway between hunting and wheeling. pond creek, where the Flinn cemetery is listed runs right along the border of wood- jackson, just southeast of belleville where the Flinns appear to have first settled. the Flinn cemetery on pond creek seems to have some children of john and tabitha. lots of john flinns around but with wrong ages, must be nephews etc. also found tabitha at wadesville which is just a few miles, maybe 5 over the hills from Flinn cemetery. i've checked about every cem. listed for both counties but can't find the gentleman. i'll be in ravenswood wv in march and again at memorial day, will search in their cem. which is 15 miles south of belle! ville. am doing another look through for another person in a similar situation. i appreciate your need for answers and enjoy looking. could he have been a civil war casualty perhaps?
