We are looking for any information on Ashford Dennis, born
about 1824 in Claysville, Guernsey County, who married
Mary Jane Hill or Mary Jane Ball (we are still uncertain
but lean strongly towards Hill) daughter of W M Hill and
Ziza Ball (names provided by older family members and not
documented). Mary Jane was born about 1829 in Claysville,
Guernsey County. Ashford Dennis appeared as head of household in 1850 County census and he served during the Civil War. We would appreciate any information on Union Army regiments or units formed in Guernsey or Muskingum County. Ashford had nine children, Evaline (1850), Liston (1852), Thomas(1855), Charles (1857) Harriett (1860), Lucy (1866), Joseph Austin (husband's ggfather - b. 1869), John (1872) and Amelia (1876). All were born in Claysville, Guernsey County. Joseph Austin Dennis moved to Illinois as a young man, married there, but we believe he returned to Ohio as his daughter, Ruth, (husband's gmother) married a man from Guernsey County, Clark Valentine.

Post only obit for Christina Beymer Webster 1903

TerryWillis124 — 20 Aug 2008 10:49:11 GMT

Christina Webster, Died may 19th, 1903, Aged 91.
She was a daughter of Henry Beymer and Elizabeth McMullen Beymer, who were pioneer setters at Washington this county, and was born in Washington August 21st, 1812, and was married at the same place April 12, 1831 by Peter Umstot, Esq.; to Bateman Webster, of Somerset County, Penn. After their marriage they made Norwich, Muskingum County, their home for many years.
Bateman Webster was a soldier. They both became members of the M. E. Church and their home became a stopping place for the Methodist itinerants of that early day.
They removed to Cambridge in 1862 and united by certificate with the church in April during the pastorate of Rev. W.B. Watkins. Bateman Webster died April 19, 1873. He built and resided in the house which was removed to give place to the Colonial block. Since his death the widow resided on North Sixth street. They were childless.
Sister Webster, although having but little education was naturally a very intelligent woman, and a well worn family Bible attest her study of the word of life.
She had many strange characteristics, and much disposed to fault finding, especially with the younger class, and as she grew older was disposed to think that the boys and girls that passed her residence, were purposely annoying her. But with her "after life's fitful fever she rest well."
She was the youngest daughter of her father's family. Her father died at the age of 90 years. Of the family all are deceased except a brother, Noah Beymer, of Washington. Interment in the South Cemetery, funeral conducted by Dr. R.B. Pope, Wednesday at 4 o'clock from the M.E. Church. Thursday 21 May 1903 Cambridge Jeffersonian Cambridge Ohio.

RMOORE — 22 Jun 2001 5:45:45 GMT

Looking for information on Benjamin W. Wilson and family who left Guernsey Co, Ohio for Jo Daviess Co, IL in about 1836-1839. His first wife is supposed to have been Sarah Headley. They were living in Richland Twp, Guernsey Co, OH in 1830. They are alleged to have had a large family and some of his children may have stayed in Ohio. He was born in Randolph Co, VA and it is unknown where he first married to Sarah Headley, but the marriage is thought to be in 1806. Does anyone have the exact date and place? Sarah (Headley) Wilson died in about 1823-1826 and he remarried Priscilla Smith. Does anyone know her parents? Or the exact date and place of the marriage? Does anyone know the date of Sarah (Headley) Wilson's death and where she is buried? Benjamin and Sarah are supposed to have had a large family. The father of Benjamin W. Wilson was William Wilson, Jr whose wife was Mary Sarah Friend. They lived in Hardy Co, VA (Now WV), served in the Revolutionary War and died in Noble Co, Ohio in 1851. Would be most interested in contacting anyone with knowledge of this family or anyone who may descend from this Wilson line.

J. Law, near Middlebourne, Guernsey County, Ohio. The deceased was 78 years and 19 days of age, she was surrounded by her children when bade to succumb by deaths never failing blow. She seemed to enjoy the best of health until within the last three months, when the infirmities of old age began to make their appearance.
The deceased was the second daughter of William and Biddy Temple, who came to this country from Ireland in 1819 and located in New York City, and was born December 18, 1819; she came to Guernsey County sometime during the decade between 1830 and 1840, and was married to John Smith, June 20, 1840, who with ten children, forty-one grandchildren and two great-grandchildren survive her.

Church and was active in all movements intended to build up the church and was active in all movements intended to build up the community. His sudden death was a serve shock and a sad affliction to his wife and little daughter who will never know the care of a kind and indulgent father.

James Hannum in Guernsey Co. between 1828 and 1851

Gail Bicknell — 1 Oct 2006 2:00:30 GMT

Seeking any information on a James Hannum, wife Jane (Baird) who farmed in Guernsey County Ohio somewhere between 1828 and prior to 1851. The family relocated to Guernsey Co. from Jefferson Co. Indiana and later moved to Pittsburgh, PA. More than likely, some of their 9 sons would have been born during these years in Guernsey: John, Alexander, Samuel, William, James, Joseph, Finley, Hugh, and Thomas. The last two boys are recorded as deceased in a family history with no information on them at all. Highly possible they were victims of infant mortality and could have died in Guernsey County. Any information on the above would be deeply appreciated.

We are pleased to know that her old age was spent in quiet retirement; free form the cares and anxieties of life; that a useful career was crowned by a happy and contented end; at the extreme age which she attained her death could not have been unexpected. We did not realize how dearly we loved her.
Darling mother, thou hast left us here,

He can all our sorrows heal.

Obit for Kate Secrest Dickerson 1905 (Post only)

TerryWillis124 — 26 Jul 2008 3:09:30 GMT

Pioneer Gone

Aunt Kate Dickerson, died yesterday noon at the home of her son, George Dickerson, in Derwent, aged 90 years and 13 days. She had been gradually declining in health for some time, but was reasonably well for one of her extreme years, so that her death is attributed to "old age" only.
Catherine Secrest Dickerson was one of the thirteen children of John and Sarah Secrest, pioneer settlers who came from Virginia in the early years of the last century and settled where Hartford now stands. Nearly all of them lived beyond the biblical period of the score years and ten, but Mrs. Dickerson survived them all. She was born October 29, 1815, and was married to Asa Dickerson in 1836.
To this union were born four children, as follows; George, of Derwent; Mrs. Edward Spaid, of Hartford; John who died a few years ago, and Samuel, who died infancy. At her death she leaves two children, nine grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson, Byron Albert Wycoff, thus making before her death five generations in the line.
Mr. Dickerson died about eighteen years ago and for while his widow lived alone, but for the past twelve years, she made her home with her son George and family in Derwent, who cared for her patiently during her declining years.
Aunty Katy, as she was know to everyone, was a strong character and fine patiently during her declining years.
The funeral services will be held at the M.E. Church, Hartford, tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Rev. Humble of Pleasant City will have charges of the obsequies. Burial will be made in the Hartford Cemetery.
