Robert Barnse (Barnes?) 1818

kathryncox_1 — 27 Aug 2008 12:28:43 GMT

Interested in a Robert Barnse (Barnes?) who applied for a Revolutionary War pension from Champaign Co 5-5-1818. According to his records from footnote.com he died shortly after receiving the pension. Does anyone have information on this man? I am interested in any Barnes living in Champaign Co in early 1800's as my ancestor Sarah Barnes Terrel was there at that time.

Catholic Cemetery Urbana

caryclem — 16 Apr 2008 3:39:23 GMT

I'm looking for the graves of my 3rd great grandparents David Nelligan and Nora O'Keefe Nelligan.

Nora died May 12, 1870 in Urbana, Ohio.

I not sure when David died. My grandmother told us that David was a cabinet maker and was buried in the Catholic Cemetery in Urbana. I assume he was buried next to Nora.

David and Nora's daughter Bridget Nelligan married James Whalen at St. Mary's church in Urbana in 1880.

Can anyone tell me which cemetery was the "Catholic cemtery" in Urbana 120 years ago. Was it St. Mary's? Was there more than one Catholic cemetery?

Thanks.

Reuben and Ruth (Van Meter) Harris

jcfalconbergh — 9 Mar 2008 10:03:51 GMT

Seeking information on Reuben and Ruth (VAN METER) HARRIS, my 4th great-grandparents, who lives in Champaign County, Ohio from (at least) 1840 up to their deaths.

Reuben was born between 1791 and 1793 in New Jersey. He was previously married; first wife: Sarah BREWSTER, who he married on 29 September 1818 in Greene County, Ohio. One daughter, Sarah. Reuben and Ruth (born 20 August 1790 in New Jersey) were married on 3 May 1821 in Clark County, Ohio.

Census records show that they lived in Clark County in 1830, but after the 1840 census, they lived in Champaign County, specifically in Adams Township (1840 and 1850) and Carysville (1860). Reuben died sometime between 1860 and 1870; doesn't appear in census records. Ruth appeared in the 1870 census, living in Harrison Township, Champaign County. She died there on 24 May 1877.

Reuben and Ruth had at least four children: John Vanmeter Harris, Jeremiah Harris (my 3rd great-grandfather, married MARIAH STEHMAN), Rebecca Harris and Lois Harris. They may have had more children (I used to have family bible records, but they are lost, sadly.)

I would greatly appreciate any information on Reuben and Ruth. I will gladly share all of my information with you if needed.

Thanks,

Offitt or Offutt Death Record

doffutt — 25 Jan 2008 10:27:20 GMT

Have located a death certificate for John Columbus Offitt, who died in Adams, Champaign County, OH on 12/30/1933. Lists wife as Margaret Ann Offitt. However informants signature appears to be Margaret Offutt (Note spelling). In addition, in my genealogy research of the Offutt Family I have a Jonathan Columbus Offutt, born on the same day given for this "Offitt". Also, an online index of obituaries for Champaign County has a Margaret Ann Offutt listed as being printed 1/8/1948, which is after John C. Offitt's death. Would like to determine if the spellng on the Death Certificate is incorrect and this is in fact Jonathan Columbus Offutt.

Any help appreciated

1810 Champaign County Murder - Help with identification

Purdue1 — 8 Dec 2007 1:37:53 GMT

I recently came across the following newspaper item published May 25, 1810, in the Farmer's Repository, Charles Town, Jefferson County, Virginia (now West Virginia):

"A few days since, Mr. Phillips, (a farmer), near Urbanna, Champaign county, beat and abused his wife, (daughter of the Rev. Hiram M. Curry, late senator from Champaign) in such a shocking manner that she survived but two days. -- Mr. Phillips and his wife were not in the habit of quarrelling, but he having been intoxicated for several days, it is supposed led him to the perpetration of the horrid act. He is apprehended, and is now confined in Urbana jail. -- Such is the effect of intemperance."

Does anyone have any further information concerning this murder? What happened to Mr. Phillips? I hoping that someone can help me identify Mr. Phillips, as well as the first same of his wife. I do have considerable information regarding Hiram M. Curry, but I have not been able determine the name of the daughter who married said Mr. Phillips.

I recently bought a scrapbook in a Eugene, Oregon antique store. It dates from the early 1800's to about 1915. I believe it was kept by a member of the Ross or Brand families who had settled in the Urbana area about 1805. The book has a front cover, but no back cover, it is 60+ pages of newspaper articles. (William A. Brand was the editor of the local newspaper from 1865-1878, also a lawyer and Postmaster.)

It has an extensive history of the area...particularly a series of articles titled, "History of Mt. Psgah Neighborhood." The history begins...

"Although its boundaries cannot be determined with precision, yet we will assume they are as follows: It is bounded north by the Mechanicsburg pike, east by a line drawn southward from Mutal, south by a line drawn eastward from Powhatttan, and west by the township line. Its northeast courner nestles in the arms of Mutual, and the southwest corner is protected by the friendly tribes of Powhattan. First in the annals of this neighborhood appear the surneames Runyan, McLain, Lafferty, Minturn, Jones, Clark, Robinson, Reid, Ward, Baker, Hedges and Garber."

The first settlement was made in 1802 by John Runyan and Joseph McLain. They were born in New Jersey....."

This series articles gives the genealogy of most of the people mentioned. The schools, graveyards, business, first houses and business. It is very extensive. PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE CORRECTIONS TO THE ARTICLES, THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE SERIES. This is important because, dates and genealogical information is corrected from what was originally published. This is a series of 10 articles, about 8.3 8.5x11 pages of small newspaper type.

The scrapbook has more than 60 pages of newspaper clippings. They include obituaries, society news, business news, GAR, Church news, especially the Methodist Episcopal Church. The early history tells who the teachers in the schools were, a list of students, which schools burnt down and were rebuilt, and where they were. It also says where the early graveyards and family burial grounds were. There are also a few pictures.

Western Bank Note and Eng. Co. (some of the families in the book were bankers)
(from the Turn of the Century (1899) Jennie O. De Golyer, Pres. YWCA
William O. Hunter, Saff Captain Salvation Army
Geo. H. Fitch, General Secretary YMCA
Emma A. Estes, Principal Christian Science Institute
Bishop William X. Ninde - ME Church
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church in 1903

It really is full of early information.

Oak Dale Cemetery Records - altered

shellyinoh — 3 May 2007 10:12:05 GMT

Champaign county judge sentenced former cemetery superintendent today to 3 years in prison. The 47 year old man from Urbana admitted last month that he pocked money for grave and mausoleum crypts as well as fees paid for digging graves. Also mentioned was that he took kickbacks from a monument company and had altered burial records.

The man had embezzled $52,533 from 1993 until he resigned last year.

Parents of Susannah Bell (Graham) Overhulse

jktking — 23 Oct 2007 3:45:36 GMT

My great-great grandmother, Susannah Bell Graham, was born in Ohio on July 1822. I do not know the county in which she was born. She was married to Samuel Overhulse on 17 Feb 1842 in Champaign County. Susannah died in St. Paris, Champaign County on 13 Feb 1856. She and Samuel were founding members of the Methodist Church in St. Paris. I have not known who Susannah's parents were. Recently I requested some research help from the Methodist Church archives at Ohio Wesleyan University. They were able to find an obit for Susannah in the Western Christian Advocate, which was a Methodist Episcopal newspaper of record for Ohio and Indiana geographic areas in the 19th century. The obit does not give much personal information about Susannah, but does show her parents as Andrew and Ruth Graham. Can anyone provide me with any information on an Andrew and Ruth Graham in Ohio from the early 1820's further on into the middle 1800's? I find one couple named Andrew and Ruth Graham in Ohio census records and online family trees on ancestry.com but Andrew was 10 years younger than Ruth and would not have been old enough to father a child who was born in 1822 but Ruth would have been old enough. It is possible that Ruth could have had a child earlier than her marriage to Andrew and that Andrew adopted the daughter and raised her as his own, but none of the online family trees for this couple mention a daughter named Susannah. Any information anyone can help me with on finding more information on Susannah's parents, I would really appreciate it.

Abandoned- Schools which are closed and not used for any other purpose

Endangered- Schools which are closing soon or have recently closed and likely to become abandoned or razed

Retired- Schools which are not used as public classroom buildings but serve in some other capacity (apartments, offices, etc)

Functional- Schools still in use as classroom buildings

I would appreciate any updates to the information I already have posted, such as dates and locations, as well as any pictures or new information ton post. Please contact me at aaronturner@Neo.rr.com if you can help!

Need Cemetery Records for Fay's

anjif7619 — 30 Jul 2003 6:56:18 GMT

Looking for any info anyone can provide me about the Fay's. I have blood lines back to 1571, but looking for death records, obits, marriages, cemetery records, probate records, etc. on the Fay's who were in Champaign County. I know that Philena (Buscom) Fay is buried in Mutual Cemetery in Champaign County. Philena was my ggggg grandmother. Children of Levi Fay and Philena Buscom include Stephen B Fay (my gggg grandfather), Oliver Fay, Hubbard P Fay, Henry E Fay, Jonas "John" W Fay, and Orville D Fay. It is believed there may have been a female child also, as the census record in Goshen Twp in 1840 listed a female child between the age of 5-10. The Fay's moved to Champaign sometime between the 1830 and 1840 census years. It is unknown how many of the stayed there, it is known that Stephen moved to Indiana after marrying Cassa Call in 1849, they were on the 1850 census in Auglaize County, Ohio. The 1860 census listed that their first child, Thomas J, was born in Ohio abt1854, but their second child, James (my ggg grandfather), was born in Indiana in 1857. Philena died 5/28/1884. Any info anyone could provide is great!

Marriage Approbation

jktking — 17 Jun 2007 5:35:19 GMT

I am trying to determine who the parents of my great-great grandmother are. She died in Ohio in 1856 at the age of 33, after having given birth to 8 children, 7 sons and 1 daughter. I just received a copy of her marriage record from Champaign County but it doesn't have the name of her parents or the name of any witnesses. It does say, though, that "her father's approbation filed". Where would I find a copy of a marriage approbation? Would the probate court have it, as they did the marriage record? She was married by Jesse Goddard, minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Champaign County. Anyone know of how to obtain early marriage records(1842) from this church? Any suggestions would be helpful. My g-g-grandmother's name was Susanna(h) Bell Graham and her husband's name was Samuel Overhulser.

a) what happened to Mary
b) what happened to Mr Martin
c) what came of the proberty in Jackson
I whave been following this line for years, and would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

Andrew Jackson Moffitt was born in 1818 in Ireland and moved to America with his parents James & Isabella [Thompson] Moffitt as an infant. The family is found in Salem Twp, Champaign Co, Ohio in 1840. Andrew married Syrena Evans in 1843 in Champaign Co. Sometime after having two children, Theresa & Jacob - Syrena dies. Before 1850 Andrew leaves for the gold fields of California - leaving the children for others to raise.

James & Isabel Moffitt are found in 1850 living in Union Twp, Logan Co, Ohio with 2 children - one is Andrew's son, Jacob 3y and a Lydia Moffitt 10y - possibly another grandchild?

By 1870 James Moffitt 83y is living in Lake Twp, Logan Co, Ohio - now a widower. All three - James, Isabella & Syrena Moffitt are buried at the Mt. Tabor Cem in Salem Twp, Champaign Co, Ohio.

I would like to know the names of James & Isabellas other children and more about this family. Does anyone know who Syrena Evans parents were? Is anyone else researching this Moffitt family from Ireland?

This is the obituary for Leona "Dode" Moody (1884-1968) from the Daily News Journal, Murfreesboro, Tenn. page 3. She was born and raised in Champaign Co., Ohio. If anyone knows anything about her family please share. Thanks!

Obituary for Leona "Dode" Moody McFarland from the Daily News Journal, Murfreesboro, TN on Feb. 3, 1974:

In addition to her husband, she is survived by a son, John McFarland, San Bernardino, Calif.; daughter, Mrs. Frank Comins, Miami, Fla., a brother, Dorsey Moody, Columbus, O. and one Grandchild.

Hello... I am researching several Champaign Co. families.(Meacham, Sessions, Foster, Marks). Right now I was hoping someone had the new book from the Champaign Genealogical Society on family related court cases such as divorce, bastardy, etc. I am interested if there is an entry on a divorce case for Mabel Foster Heston from William Burrell Heston in the late 1890's or early 1900's. Their surnames appear in the index on-line. I would like to order the records from the county court house but need the case number, etc. from the book as I don't know the date of the divorce. I would really appreciate the look up. I am happy to share any info I have on my Champaign families. Thanks...Teresa
