Clark/Butler Families in Coshocton Co, Ohio

dclark303 — 14 Aug 2008 10:01:11 GMT

My ancestors John Clark & Sarah Butler were (I believe) married in Coshocton Co in the late 1830's and then moved to Hardin Co in the 1840's.
I am trying to tie down their marriage and any other information I can on their ancestory.
I did find a record of a "Sarah Clark" in the 10th entry of James Shores Justice of the Peace Book in the GenWeb file.

Thank You

ISAAC & HANNAH PURDY

JPurdy8669 — 11 Sep 2008 10:04:09 GMT

ISAAC PURDY & HANNAH MORGAN PURDY relocated to Coshoctin Co.
Ohio about 1820 from Pennsylvania.

ISAAC & HANNAH had the following children.

EUNICE PURDY married JOSIAH PURDY, and apparently stayed in
Ohio. They were in the 1860 census for Killbuck, Ohio.

AARON PURDY married BELINDA BUCKLEW and relocated about 1847 to Oregon.

MATILDA PURDY married TOWNER SAVAGE and relocated about 1846 to Oregon.

EMILY PURDY married NOBLE JOHNSON and relocated about 1859 to Placer Co, California. There are on the 1860 census for Placer Co. They are both buried in Lincoln Cemetery in Placer co.

SARAH "SALLIE" PURDY married GEORGE B. BUCKLEW and apparently stayed in Ohio.

LYDIA K. PURDY married MARTIN FELTON and in the 1850 census they were living in the Salem Twp., Ottawa Co.,Ohio.

STEPHEN PURDY married JANE McDARMANT and in the 1850 census they were living in the household of his mother HANNAH PURDY
in Clarke Twp., Coshoctin Co., Ohio.
In the 1860 he is on the census for Liberty Twp. San Joaquin co., California.
So apparently sometime between 1850 and 1860 he relocated to Calofornia.

STEPHEN is the G.G.Grandfather of my husband MERVIN LEWIS PURDY.

ELDEN PURDY married ELEANOR CLARK, and in the 1850 census they were in the Taylor Twp., Hardin co. Ohio.

MINERVA ANN PURDY married THOMAS G. ARNOLD and they apparently stayed in Ohio.

I have been in contact with descendants of AARON, MATILDA, SARAH, MINERVA ANN.

I would like to hear from descendants of EUNICE, EMILY,
LYDIA K. and ELDEN PURDY.

MERV and I spent 3 days in Coshoctin Co., this past August, and walked many cemeteries looking for family.
We were unable to locate ISAAC and HANNAH PURDY's graves in the Oakhill Cemetery in Killbuck. Many of the stones have wind and rain damage and names are unreadable.

We were thrilled to see a PURDY street in Killbuck.

Would like to hear from anyone with knowledge of these families and I will be happy to share what I have collected.

I also have a copy of ISAAC PURDY's will.

MRS. DAVID BALO DIES
AFTER EXTENDED ILLNESS

Mrs. David Balo, aged seventy eight, died at her home near Adams Mills Wednesday afternoon at 4:30. She had been ill since last October with catarrh of the stomach, and owing to her advanced age, her recovery was scarcely expected. Mrs. Balo was born in Richland county and previous to her marriage in 1869 was Miss Maria Howell. She came to this county when a young woman, and has lived in the Adams Mills vicinity for many years. Mrs. Balo was a member of the Plains Methodist where she had charge of a class in the Sunday school. Her devotion to the church and her class work is well shown in the love and respect of the pupils, who will feel most keenly the loss of a kind and patient instructor.

The husband, David Balo, two daughters, Mrs. W. T. Marquand, and Miss Carrie Balo and one son, Joseph Balo, of Adams Mills, survive. One brother, Frank Newell, resides in Illinois.

Funeral services will be held at the home Friday afternoon and interment will be made in the Adams Mills cemtery.

Archibald & Caroline Martin

eejordan104 — 14 May 2008 4:05:30 GMT

The family of Archibald & Caroline Martin appear in the 1860 and 1870 censuses for Jefferson Twp in Coshocton Co. In 1880 Caroline is listed as a widow. I cannot find her in 1900 so she probably passed away before that.

Is this the Archibald Martin who appears in the household of Bateman & Hannah Martin, 1850, Franklin Twp, Greene Co., PA?

Since Caroline was born in PA, did she and Archibald marry in Greene Co, PA? What is her maiden name?

Who did any of their children (James, Thomas, Charles, Harriet, George, Francis and John) marry?

What are the death dates for Archibald & Caroline?

Thanks,

JONES, Benjamin Franklin, David, Mary - 1850-60s

mejrdalman — 11 Mar 2008 2:55:00 GMT

I am trying to confirm that my GGGrandfather, Benjamin Franklin Jones, was born in Coshocton Co. His birth date, according to his death certificate and Obit. he was born in Coshocton Co. 30 Sept 1835 to David and Mary Jones. David was either born in Georgia or Virginia, Mary was born in Ohio or Virginia. Based on census reports from 1850 & 1860. I'm having trouble also finding any definate record of them, because of how common the names are. I know that in 1840 there was an older sister, but by 1830, Benjamin was 13 and the only child there. By 1860, he had married in Hendricks Co. Ind. and brought his wife, Lucinda, back to Newcastle to live with his parents. I'm doing this research from California, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

From Democratic Standard (Coshocton, Ohio) July 1, 1904, Pg 2

REMARKABLE JENNINGS FAMILY OF SOLDIERS

M. W. Wimmer, pension attorney, secured an original pension for Hiram W. Jennings, late a member of of Co. E, 142 Regiment, O.V.I. The rate of the pension is $12 per month, from May 2, 1904. The pension was granted under the new order. The above named soldier was one among the eight from one family, who were in the service being the children of Joseph and Abigail Jennings.

The eight are as follows:

Hiram W., of Company E. 142d, O.V.I., still living.
Reuben, of Company E, 142d Regiment, O.V.I., died while in army.
John C., of Company K, 24th Regiment, O.V.I., died in army.
W. H. of Company K, 32d Regiment, O.V.I., still living.
Leander, of Company G, 72d Regiment, O.V.I., still living.

Orin, of Company E, 142d Regiment, O.V.I., still living.
Alexander, of Company E, 143d Regiment, O.V.I., died at home.

Pension Attorney Wimmer says this is the only case he knows of in which one family sent so many brothers into the civil War and that it is possible that there is not another such case in Ohio.

Obituary of Squire MEREDITH [1835OH-1922IN]

RobertLJackson29 — 8 Mar 2008 10:15:18 GMT

THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, March 2, 1922, Volume XLVI, Number 16, Page 4, Column 3, ‘DEATH’S HARVEST-MEREDITH.’ [Transcribed on March 8, 2008 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.]

Squire MEREDITH, son of N. L. and Catherine MEREDITH, was born in Coshocton County, Ohio, November 10, 1835, and departed this life February 27, 1922; aged eight-six years, three months and seventeen days.

On May 13, 1860, he was married to Clara PURDY. To them were born two children, Calvin L. and Mary. Calvin lives at Pateros, Washington. He was visiting his father at the time of his death. Mary was married, and preceded her father in death, leaving five children to whom Squire and his faithful wife gave a home and a father’s and mother’s love and care

It was in 1870 that he moved with his family to Indiana. He lived the greater part of his life near Cincinnati, in Greene County.

He was commonly called, “Uncle Squire.” He enjoyed his friends in his home, and lived to make those about him happy. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in distress or trouble. He remained active until near the very end. The five children left by his daughter, who died in 1903, were Denver, who died three years ago; Jacob O., now in the Philippines; Mr. R. E. POWER, Chicago; Mrs. Luther WEAVER, Solsberry, and Ruby, at the home near Solsberry.

He leaves to mourn the wife of his youth, one son, eleven grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were held in the Christian church at Solsberry on Wednesday, March 1, and there the body was laid to rest in its last resting place in the cemetery nearby. “He will rise again in the resurrection of the last day.

Lucia Fleming Schoonover

rbobjim — 25 Feb 2008 7:13:23 GMT

In the 1930 Coshocton Co., Ohio Tomahawk Yearbook (found on-line) there is a Lucia Fleming Schoonover listed under the Class of 1924. I am very interested in this person, and would like any info or suggestions you might have.

Here's why:
My great-grandfather is Fleming Schoonover. He was born in PA in 1836, married 27 Feb 1857 in Snicarte, Mason Co., IL and died (we think) in the late 1870's. No indications that he ever lived in Ohio. His name, "Fleming Schoonover", is very rare -- I've never found another. So I was astounded to find a lady with exactly the same name. I've wondered if she might be a daughter or descendant?

I'm not even sure what specific questions to ask, but it seems that a census record containing her name would be of great interest since it should reveal her parents. That probably means a census for 1920, or maybe 1910.

Lucia was probably born about 1906, long after we think my G-G/F died. But I would really appreciate any insight about Lucia, or how I might pursue this issue.

Thanks for any help.

Hi there.
Leander Ransom Mirise is mentioned in on 3 Jun 1903 in the Coshocton Daily Age and then in 1904 with the birth of his son, but Leander had died by then. Is there a way to find a record of death for him so I can pinpoint a possible obit timeframe? Son Leroy was born 25 Aug 1904 so father Leander must have been around in Dec 1903 or so. Leander was born abt Apr 1846.

John Valentine Reiss was born in Coshocton (the town). I would like to find out what year he actually died. I have information that he died in 1896, 1899 or 1900. The family member who compiled the Reiss family information copied the papers many times and the last number from the date of death was dropped. I found him enumerated in 1900 however. I think that he must have died in the summer of 1900. He died of diptheria.

name of Roscoe/ Roscoe Village

kevelwood — 28 Jun 2007 5:44:09 GMT

Greetings from Southport, Lancashire, England.
I am researching aspects of the life of William Roscoe (1753-1831) of Liverpool. I found a website for Coshocton which gave a brief explanation of the origins of the name of Roscoe Village regarding the petition of 1830 to change the name from Caldersburgh. I was wondering if anyone could supply me with more information about the 1830 petition; is there a pamphlet I can get hold of or a more detailed web page? I want to know, if possible, the content of the petition; was it because of Roscoe's reputation as an abolitionist that the petitioners particularly admired him? Or his Unitarianism? Or his books on the Medici in Florence? I received leaflets and a helpful letter from Roscoe Village with the contact email for their historian, but the contact doesn't seem to bear fruit, so to speak. All information gratefully received and acknowledged in the text. I'll send a copy of the finished work to the Roscoe Village historical centre. Also, if anyone wants details about Roscoe of Liverpool, maybe I can help out; though I'm no genealogist I may be able to point out records of interest in local offices.
Best wishes,
Kevin Littlewood

Francis Baker, born abt. 1823 in New York

djd102748 — 19 Jun 2007 4:04:15 GMT

I am seeking information on this family found in the 1850 census of Franklin township, Coshocton county, Ohio:
Frances Baker, male, age 27, born in New York
Rachel Baker, female, age 22, born in Ohio
George W. Baker, Male, age 1

The family is located in Tipton county, Indiana in the 1860 census. I am particularly interested in the youngest daughter listed in the 1860 census, Julia A, age 1. Julia Ann Baker was the name of my great grandmother. She married Frank Wright and can be found in the 1880 Tipton county census living with Susan Baker, age 58, widow, head of house. Julia is listed as her daughter and Frank is listed as her son-in-law.

I found a William Baker(b. NY 1825) and wife Susan (born Indiana 1835) living next door to Francis Baker in the 1860 Tipton county census. I believe that Willliam and Francis are probably brothers. Perhaps Susan took Julia in to raise or maybe Susan was Rachel's middle name. I am unable to find any marriage records for Frank or William.

If anyone has any information on this family, please reply.

Rezin Baker relationship to Esaias Baker both of Coshoctan, Co., OH

Lorrie Wallace — 9 Nov 2005 7:06:24 GMT

What relation was Rezin to Esaias if any? I have proof that Rezin was the son of Zebediah and Elizabeth Lane Baker. I also have information that indicates Zebedian and Esaias were brothers, the sons of Maurice/Morris Baker. Morris Baker mention Easias, Charles and Ruth as his heirs but because Zebediah was already dead he isn't mentioned. Willing to share information.

Reiss, Valentine b. 1822 or Ben Dan Reiss b. 1872

obit lookup request for John Mirise who died 06 Jun 1865, lived in Jackson, Coshocton

c_hughes_phx — 13 Jun 2007 6:07:58 GMT

Greetings,
I've searched the ancestry.com archived newspapers for several months and cannot find a Coshocton newspaper in the month of John's death (June). John was my 3rd great grandfather.

He can be found in several newspaper articles in the year before his death, calling for laborers to work in Nashville (where he died). I imagine he was on a work trip to Nashville and died there from a heart attack or such ailment.

The family bible says he died on 06 Jun 1865 in Nashville. I imagine it would have taken a few says for word to reach Coshocton county. His wife's obit in 1898 corroborates the location but not the date, however, he's not found in the census past 1860 so I'm confident that that date is correct.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

2 Nov 1864, Coshocton Democrat
Nashville, TN, Oct 21, 1864
Mr. Editor: The majority of soldiers about this place are for McClellan. There was a McClellan meeting held at the Courthouse one evening last week. A lot of soldiers from the State House came down and raised h-ll, generally. It is generally supposed that Governor Johnson sent them there for that purpose. They have everything their own way here--because they have the power in their own hands, altho' the majority of the people are against them. There was no Coshocton County Democratic Tickets to be had here at the last election. John Mirise was here with the Republican Tickets. But thank God they defeated with all their gouging games. I expect they will try to guard the polls with bayonettes at the coming election--but we will vote for Mack, or die trying.

Greetings,
I hope an obit can be found. Thanks a bunch, in advance.

John Cass Mirise

His brother Leander is more difficult to pin down a death date for, but local papers available to me had legal info on his wife taking over his estate.

6 May 1904, Democrat Standard, Coshocton
Saturday afternoon in the probate court Hattie B Mirise was appointed administratrix of the estate of Leander R Mirise.

THANK YOU.
