1850 census for Geauga County: Where is it?

Encanto59 — 9 Jul 2008 3:59:08 GMT

I have been trying various web-sites to find the 1850 census for Geauga County but cannot locate one; why? I do not have access to research libraries where I live, so have to rely upon internet for research. I want to find Seger in Huntsburg, Ohio 1850.. I have a mess I am trying to untangle and am hoping the 1850 census will help.

Updated: Geauga Co. Schools

oldohioschools — 22 Jul 2008 10:00:25 GMT

I have just finished my overhaul of the Geauga County Schools page on my website.

http://www.oldohioschools.com/geauga_county.htm

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. It now loads much faster and is more user-friendly for people wanting to only view a certain county.

Smith and Canfield of Chardon Geauga OH

chrisw_99 — 29 May 2008 9:12:56 GMT

Lucius SMITH b abt 1775 m Mary CANFIELD and they are found in Bethlehem (later Otis) Bershire Co, MA in 1800. Their children recorded b in Bethlehem MA were

-Lorrin b 1795 m Almeda CANFIELD in Chardon in 1818
-Harvey b 1799 m Philena CANFIELD in Charldon in 1820
-Mehetable b 1797
-Levi b 1804
-Mary Olivia b 1814

Lucius and son, Lorrin, came to Geauga Co about 1813, but returned to MA to bring back the remainder of the family in 1814. They settled in Chardon, OH.

Does anyone know the parents of Lucius SMITH or his birthplace?
I am not related but am trying to find family of an Elijah SMITH who was also in Bethlehem, Bershire Co, MA at about the same time. This Elijah's sons migrated to Ashtabula Co OH. I thought the two families might have been connected.

Bierce Family, 1872

amyarmstrong — 6 May 2008 3:32:42 GMT

In Parkman, Geauga County, four members of the family of Erastus Bierce, died within six weeks. First Frank, September 20th., aged 16; Arthur, aged 6; Mrs. Bierce next; and last a boy of 16 months -- all of typhoid fever. The knowledge of the death of the first two children was carefully kept from the mother, and yet, says the correspondent of the Geauga Republican, October 21st., she knew herself to be dying, and said "Frank and Arthur, come and take me away", and soon was gone. Were they there in her sight, waiting for her? or was her mind wandering? or does God disclose the New Jerusalam to the dying, to cheer them through the shades of Death!

Stephen Northrop

catecool — 20 Apr 2008 8:46:14 GMT

I believe there is an error in stating that the following man served in the Rev. War:

Stephen Northrop
born 22 Jan 1759 Ridgefield, Fairfield Co., CT
died 17 Oct 1831, Munson, Geauga Co., OH
married 1st Betsey; married 2nd Deborah Robinson

I descend from Stephen through his son, Amaziah Northrop. I have been researching Stephen Northrop's family, including his children from both marriages. I planned to apply to the DAR but now believe that the information about his military service is incorrect.

In the book, Raccoon Brigade, Soldiers of the Revolution in Geauga County, OH, by Jeannette Grosvenor, Stephen is noted on pages 468-470. It states that Stephen Northrop "served as private in the 9th Connecticut regiment". He is listed as serving in the "5th Connecticut Regiment, Col. David Waterbury, 9th Company, Capt. Nehemiah Beardsley. He enlisted as a private 16 May 1775 and was discharged 11 Dec. 1775". In 1926, Stephen Northrop was identified as a Soldier of the American Rev. and later a gravestone was placed at Fowlers Mill Cemetery, Sec. 3, Lot 37. His gravestone reads:

Stephen Northrop
Connecticut QM SGT
9th Co. 5th Regiment
Revolution
22 Jan. 1759-17 Oct. 1831

An Amy E. K. Wheeler (Mrs. Silas C.), #155361, applied (before 1928) through the Nathan Perry Chapter as a descendant of this Stephen Northrup.

In my research into Stephen's family, I received a copy of the DAR application (before 1928) for another descendant, through his daughter Nancy. In this application it states that Stephen served in the Rev. War in the 6th Regiment, Dutchess Co., NY.

I ordered Stephen Northrop's Rev. War Pension Record and Military Record. I requested for service from both NY and CT. None was found. I believe that Stephen is not the Stephen Northrop of the 9th Co. 5th Regiment CT.

I have been able to find 3 Stephen Northrop/Northrup's who served in NY or CT as follows:

~ 9th Company CT, Col. Waterbury Regiment, Captain Nehemiah Beardsley
~ Westchester County Milita, New York, 4th Regiment, Col. Thaddeus Crane, Capt. David Pardee, (was "Quartermaster Sergeant")
~ Dutchess Co. NY 6th Regiment, Col. Morris Graham, Captain Richard Sackett's Company

I ordered the Rev. War Pension Record for another Stephen Northrup,
Born April 1785, South Salem, Westchester Co., NY
Died 24 Sept 1841, Sullivan, Madison Co., NY
wife Rhoda

This Stephen Northrup, (born 1785) is the man who served in the 5th CT Regiment. His pension records also state he served several times over numerous years, including under Capt. David Pardee and Capt. Richard Sackett. This Stephen Northrup served in all three of the above mentioned military company's from CT and NY.

Grove A.D. & Achsah Eddy-Streeter, Painesville

GaryMitchell542 — 23 Mar 2007 5:05:28 GMT

Achsah Eddy married Grove A.D. Streeter. Both were born in Vermont in the 1790's, but by 1820 were living in the Painesville, Geauga, Ohio area. There are many Eddy family members that settled into this same area, and also at least 1 brother of Grove Streeter; Anson Streeter, who settled near Ashtabula. Anson also had a son named Grove A. Streeter, presumably after his brother Grove A.D.

It is rumored that Grove and Achsah Eddy Streeter had 10 or 11 children. Later, after Grove's passing in 1837, Achsah Eddy remarried one Titus Doolittle, also of this same area.

What I am looking for is anyone who knows anything about the names of the children of Grove A.D. and Achsah Eddy-Streeter. It appears that the first two were boys, as they show up on the 1820 Painesville Census with 2 young boys in the home. These 10 or 11 Streeter children would be born between 1815 and 1837. There were simply too many children for there to be no record left of them in this area of Ohio.

Any help would be dearly appreciated.

Silas STAGE in Newbury Geauga Co abt 1840

chrisw_99 — 16 Dec 2005 6:51:23 GMT

I have recently found the family of Silas STAGE b abt 1775 in NY and wife, Phebe b abt 1780 NY who are buried in Newbury Ctr Cemetery in Geauga Co NY. It looks like this might be the same Silas STAGE family who was in Wolcott, Wayne Co (formerly Seneca Co), NY in 1820 and 1830.
possible children (but not proven) are:

-Elijah

-John F b abt 1802 NY m Marietta DAVIS 1860 in Geauga Co (John is buried in Newbury Ctr Cemetery) May have been married before in NY.

-James R

-Ann m Harrison RUSSELL Oct 1843 in Geauga Co

-Phebe m Orman TROWBRIDGE May 1837 in Geauga Co

-Mary m S.W. LARAWAY Nov 1851 in Geauga Co

-Nelson D m 1) Martha A BAKER Nov 1851 in Geauga Co
2) Mary Ann LUTHER Jan 1865

Does anyone recognize this family? I am wondering (pure speculation at this point) if this could be the parents of Greta Stage b 1811 who m Daniel Smith in Wayne Co NY in 1831. Their older children were b in Wolcott, before they moved to Sodus/Huron in Wayne Co, NY.

Montville United Methodist Church

wvswanson — 11 Jul 2001 12:52:57 GMT

My ggg-grandfather and mother (Albert O. Hayes, Lois Hayes) and gg-grandfather (William Hayes) are buried in Monville Cemetery in lot 19. The cemetery map shows that the lot is full, but no headstones are there. The Pioneer and General History of Geauga Cty. lists Lois Hayes as being a charter member in the United Methodist Church, which is right across the street from the cemetery. When I visited the grave in May, the church was now a private residence. Does anyone have any idea of where the church records were transferred to, or where I can start seaching for them? The Hayes families started to settle in Burton in 1800-1801. Albert should be the son of Eli Hayes of Burton, and Lois (nee Young) daughter of William Young (I think from Ct.) It looks like Seth Hayes in Burton and Joseph in Burton are the brothers of Eli Hayes. I am also searching for the marriage license for Albert and Lois. Any info on the church or the Hayes family would greatly be appreciated. I have some records of the family and am very willing to share.

I am planning a trip out to Ohio this summer and was wondering if anyone knows whether there is still a Mud Road in Chardon. I would like to find a house my gr grandfather lived in from 1920-1930.

Thanks,
Kim

Abraham Wilmot & Nancy Tuttle Cheshire CT to Geauga Co 1818+

They were my 3rd geat-grandparents and I'm looking for other descendants, possibly still living in Geauga County. Nancy is mistakenly identified as "Nancy Turner" in some Geauga Co records. She was actually the daughter of Charles Tuttle and Lucy Johnson (who m. 2nd Ichabod Hitchcock).

I have much more information and will be happy to share. Please e-mail me directly at peopleremembered@att.net

John Atwood family in Parkman, 1840

John Atwood was born in 1805 in Vermont, lived in the Genesee County, NY, area until about 1834, and was living in Ohio in 1840. The 1840 census of Parkman, Geauga, lists a John Atwood, but I do not know for sure if he's the right one. Does anyone have any other information about Atwoods living in Geauga County around 1840?

John's wife was named Allice (or Alice) and five of their children, Harriet A., Charles, Maria L., James and Frank, were born in Ohio. The family was living in Wayne County, Michigan, by 1850.

Thanks.
