I am still missing quite a few pictures of some of the old schools as well as some dates and locations. Please check out the new page and let me know what you think or if you can help with any other information.

LQQking for any info on Ridgaway Richard Knott or Mitchell Knott

mutchmj — 11 Jul 2008 12:05:40 GMT

Ridgaway was a native of Fayette County, born August 28, 1839 at Washington Courthouse, OH. May have went by the name Richard or Ridgie. He spent most of his early years in Fayette County and his parents names were Mitchell and Amanda (Stewart) Knott. Amanda Stewart's father could have been William Stewart.

After traveling out west he returned to Fayette County and married a Syphord, Sypherd, Siford or Syford lady, I have different first names for her Lydie, Avbilla, or Eliza August 15, 1850 or 1851. She was born Jun 20, 1838. Her parents were John and Edith "Eda" (Eige) Siford.

He had at least 1 brother John Noah Knott, who was also born in Fayette County. Could have been in Washington Courthouse, Ohio in 1861

I would love to find his birth certificate etc. any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Also on Mitchell we have very little info he was the son of Gustavus Knott and Elizabeth Cloyd. He born in PA around 1829. They moved to Fayette County, the family appears in the 1850 census in Fayette County, OH. Gus was born in Maryland in 1787. Any info on him would be great too!

Photos of Fayette County people, circa 1900 or so...

NancyLou9 — 7 May 2006 3:48:10 GMT

My father passed away less than two years ago and I inherited a box of family photographs. Many of them had the name of the person on them and I feel very strongly that they belong with actual descendants, rather than sitting in a box here in my house, where I am someone that only knows they are a relative, but not my direct line.

I would like to have these photos find their families. I will happily mail the photos to direct descendants only, for just the cost of postage... If any of these names are yours, contact me via e-mail and let me know the link to them... These are not for collectors, as much as they would probably like to have them. If I suspect for one second that you are a collector, you will not be receiving a photo from me...

Many of these photos are of either very young children or those that seem to be High School Graduation photos. There are less than a handful that are either marriage photos or soldiers in uniform, possibly WWI, or one is a marriage photo, but the groom is in uniform.

Here is the list... If a name is on there more than once, I have more than one photo of them...

George A. Robinson, Jr.'s stenographer's pads

Sandy_Fackler — 29 May 2007 12:45:10 GMT

When the late George A. Robinson, Jr. was alive, he abstracted many government records, scrapbooks, etc. In the early 1970s I read one of his stenographer's pads in which he had abstracted obituaries from an old scrapbook. The obituaries were from the early 1900s and contained one on my great grandfather who died in 1908. The paper in which the obit appeared is no longer extant. Does anyone know if these steno pads were up for auction after his death and, if so, who may have purchased them? Thanks.

Early Sniders 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850

marthaswaim — 18 Mar 2004 7:00:10 GMT

1820 census: Henry Snider age 45+ and Family; John Snider age 16-25.

1830 census: Henry Snider age 50-60 and family, John Snider age 20-30 and family. Peter Snider age 20-30 and family.

Think Henry was married to Elizabeth Hesser / Hessar. They may be parents of John and Peter. John, born in Ross county in 1801, married Delilah (Beard?) and moved to Indiana btw 1830-1840. Henry was on Ross tax rolls 1806-1816. Henry died abt. 4/6/1832. Elizabeth moved back to Ross county and died 7/3/1771. I think Henry was a judge in Fayette county. (John is my gr-gr-great-grandfather) Would love to know more about this family, including if Delilah's last name was Beard, where Henry and Elizabeth are burried, anything!

1850 Union Twp., Fayette Co., OH - 20 July 1850

Silaz P. Johnson age 36 born abt 1814 New York **Silas
Elizabeth Johnson age 32 born abt 1818 New York (Kuntz)
William Johnson age 12 born abt 1838 New York
Emaline Johnson age 11 born abt 1839 New York *** Emeline
Magdalena Johnson age 8 born abt 1842 New York
Mary E Johnson age 7 born abt 1843 New York

Philip H Johnson age 3 born abt 1847 New York

Two other children born after this census.
A. J. Johnson b 1851
Laura Johnson b 1864

============
A sketch, titled JOHNSON FAMILY states it like this:

" William Johnson, one of two sons of Silas P. Johnson and Elizabeth (Kuntz) Johnson, was born March 19, 1838, in Columbia County, New York. When quite young, he was brought by his parents to the state of Ohio. This journey that would take only a short time under modern conditions, was at that time a very slow and tiresome experience. They went from their home to Buffalo, New York, by canal, and from there to Cleveland by steamer where they took the Ohio Canal to Chillicothe, and from there to near Hillsboro, Ohio, by wagon. Most of his life and that of his brother, Philip Henry, was spent in Fayette County. "
- - - - - -
The 1850 census states that all children were born in New York so this journey to Ohio took place between 1847 and 1850. So they were not among the earliest settlers of Fayette County. Their daughter, Emeline Johnson would marry one of the early settlers. Abner Todhunter Jr.. age 15 with his parents and sibling did settle the area in 1805. It appears Silas moved from 1850 Union twp to 1860 Jasper twp and then to 1870 Perry twp. Perhaps like Perry township this township also had boarder lines changed and though they did not move their "address" changed. Or they could have indeed moved.

Walnut Creek :
This area in 1805 was part of Fairfield Twp, Highland Co., OH. In 1810, Jan 19th (took effect March 1, 1810) this area became Greene Twp, Fayette Co, OH. Later, June 4th, 1845 this area became Perry Twp, Fayette Co, OH.

Jacob Creamer

lmentzel1 — 22 Mar 2002 5:31:57 GMT

Jacob Creamer, manufacturer of Mole Ditching Machines, Mechanicsburg; was born in Fayette Co., Ohio, in 1809, and is the son of Michael and Mary (Gray) Creamer, both of Virginia. Michael was a farmer by occupation, and emigrated to Fayette Co. in 1805, where the remainder of his life was passed. His death occurred at an advanced age, and that of his wife in 1865. He had 12 children, ten of whom grew up to maturity. Our subject was the seventh child, and was reared and schooled in his native county, where he resided till the fall of 1871, when he became a resident of this county. He located first for 2 years in Urbana, and then moved to his present place in Mechanics-burg. He followed the calling of his father, and has made farming his principal occupation. He served as County Surveyor of Fayette Co. for 19 years, and 9 years as Justice of the Peace; has given considerable attention to carpentering, and, for the last 20 years, has been engaged in operating a Mole Ditching Machine, of which he is the patentee. It is a contrivance by means of which a secret ditch is cut any depth up to four feet, making a cheap and durable drainage. It can be regularly graded as the machine passes along, and the capstan, by means of which it is propelled, is mounted on wheels, thereby economizing time. From 100 to 300 rods can be cut per day. We think it destined to become the mode of under-draining on account of its proficiency and cheapness, not costing more than one-fifth as much as ordinary ditching. Mr. C. finds his political creed in the Republican party, and religious in the M. P. Church. He takes an active interest in the temperance cause, and puts himself in sympathy with all temperance movements. He married Elizabeth Benson, of Fayette Co., in 1835, by whom he has had 6 children, all living.

Alcinda Burris burial in Washington Cemetery?

On the death certificate of Alcinda Burris (died 3 March 1912 in Ross County) her place of burial is given as Washington [illegible] O[hio]. Since she at one time lived in Fayette County, I was wondering if she was buried in the Washington Cemetery there. Would anyone have a list of burials or book of gravestone transcriptions that might list Alcinda BURRIS?

Kelley Family

Reesikid — 31 May 2006 8:07:22 GMT

I am looking for information on the Kelley Family from Washington Court House. The furthest back that I have is George Kelley b. Aug 1857 in VA married to Nancy Ford b. Oct 2, 1858 in Ohio and died Feb 21, 1928 in Fayette County. So far I know that they had the following children: Allen (my great grandfather) b. 1882, Howard b. 1892, Grover C. b. 1884, and Walter b. 1889. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This was my grandmother's family and I know that her mother died when she was an infant and that she was raised by her uncle Howard and his wife.

Anyone working on the Mark and Rowe family of Fayette Co OH that might be able to help with an old group photo? All the people are ID'd but many don't have last names listed. I've made guesses at most.

John and Elizabeth had two sons: William b 1861 and Robert b abt 1862 and after John's death the boys were awarded to William Whitesides. Later Elizabeth married Henry Siniff. Any information on these people, would be greatly appreciated.

Francis M. and Clara B. Clemans

Charles Templer — 9 Feb 2006 2:22:06 GMT

Francis M. and Clara B. Clemans are last located in the 1910 Census in Marion Twp, Fayette County, OH. Francis was born in 1835 so they would most likely be near the end of their lives.

I would appreciate it if someone could take a look at Fayette County cemetery records to see if they might be spotted.

Francis is the grandson of Hezekiah and Martha (Templer) Clemons, thus my interest in them.
