Re: Brown Family

amrheinja — 2013-04-09 15:14:08Z

I would be very interested in any research into this family as well. My wife is descended from John R. Brown 1797-186?. This John R. Brown is in Monroe Township in northern Harrison County in 1850 but is in Flushing Township in Belmont County adjacent to Freeport Twp. by the time of his death. He is buried in the Belmont Ridge Cemetery.

The 1820 Census in Freeport Twp. lists 'John R. Brown Jr.' and 'John Brown Sr.' and my hypothesis is that this is my John R. Brown and his father, which would make my John R. possibly the brother of James K.

Facts you should know about the early census records –

All census records [1790 – 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female.

NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county; however some census takers listed the township
NO street address was stated
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, or divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]

1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.

Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
Adopted children are not enumerated as “adopted”
Grand children are not enumerated as “grand children”
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"

1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members

1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces and family relationships +++

Prior to September 7, 1949, marriages were record at the county probate courts as each county was formed. At that time, an index of all Ohio marriages was not maintained. It was not until 1949, that a statewide index of marriages that occurred in Ohio was created at the state level with the Ohio Department of Health, Office of Vital Statistics. While the state Office of Vital Statistics maintains indexes of all marriages, the county probate courts where the married couples applied for their license is where the official marriage certificate resides.

Re: James B. Malholm

James B. Mehollin (or Maholm) was born 15 Nov 1873 in Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio, to James and Elizabeth Reynolds Maholm. He married Carrie Richmond (source missing) about 1930-32. I was told he was about 60 when they were married; they had five children: James Jr.(1931), Lloyd Ervin(1933)), Martha A.(1935), Phillip(1938), and Dorothy Sue(abt 1939). The family is located in the 1940 census: Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio, ED 34-4, Sheet 14A, Dwelling 302, Line 36, James B. Mehollin Household. James died and later Carrie died in 1946. Phillip also died with his mother in Canton, Stark County, Ohio, on 13 Jan 1946. A space heater was left on all night and the two died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The other children were orphaned. James Jr. married Hisako, Dorothy Sue married Makely Gordon Salter, Lloyd Ervin, my grandfather, married Bobbie Jo Buie.

Hello. Thank you for all the information regarding the United States Census as well as the links you provided. What I mean by "discovering the origins of both Justice and Ruth" is that I am searching for information about them before they were married in 1855. I have some information on the Louden family, but have no information on who Justice’s parents or siblings were.

Re: James WRIGHT, d. 29 Oct 1878, bur. Corinth Cem

manderson8396 — 2012-09-30 04:22:38Z

I hope somebody is still researching this James Wright? I'm so confused! I see that he d. Oct 1878, but where did he live? I can't seem to find him in the census. There is a James Wright in Tuscarawas, who for all years in census was b. aprox 1790 in VA, with the exception of 1870, and he was five years older b in PA that year. I believe the Tuscarawas James Wright was married to Elizabeth Norman in 1836. So the Harrison County James Wright being 106 years old, would have been b. 1772. Any information or clarification for James Wright(s) wife and children if known sure would be appreciated!

WatsonC1803 — 2012-09-09 03:00:54Z

Hello,

I am seeking information on Joseph Leasure (born May 1852 in Ohio), wife Clemma Ellen Thompson (10 May 1859 in Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio/20 April 1951 in Wheeling Township, Belmont County, Ohio), and family.

Joseph was a son of John or Thomas Laizure and Martha A. White who were married 01 September 1847 in Tuscarawas County, Ohio.

The descendants of these particular Laisures [also spelled Leasure and Laizure, etc.], my 2nd great-grandfather, Elmer Ellsworth Laisure (18 June 1881 in Fairpoint, Wheeling Township, Belmont County, Ohio/18 December 1939 Shepherdstown, Wheeling Township, Belmont County, Ohio), among them, seem to have later concentrated around Fairpoint, Ohio and Wheeling Township in Belmont County, but originated in the vicinity of New Athens in Harrison County.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at cwliberty@bellsouth.net. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for any information about the John W Minor (b. 1820 Ohio) and Catherine Gillespie (b. 1818 Ohio or Germany) family. I know they were married in Harrison County by General Custer's grandfather? The Minor and Custer family appear to have been close family friends.

Re: SAWYER FAMILY IN 1830s in Harrison Co., OH

kh0993 — 2012-07-01 18:24:55Z

Samuel Sawyer (Schweyer, Shroyer ) Is my 3rd great grandfather. My 2nd great grandmother Sarah was his daughter she married Levi VanSickle, in Harrison Co. Ohio 1831. Levi is the son of Gabriel of NJ/Ohio. Sarah and Levi VanSickle were living in Oxford Twp. Coshocton Co. Ohio by 1840.
Samuel Sawyer, Sr. was married to a Mary,last name unk. He lived in Lovettsville, Loudoun Co. Va. before coming to Ohio. I can not find Samuel in any census after 1830.
I believe that ELIZABETH Sawyer Grewell is related to Samuel Sawyer somehow, most likely a daugher. I just found her the other day listed in Harrison Co. marriage records I am also wondering if she is Samuel's daughter. Do you have anymore information ELIZABETH Sawyer Grewell ?

Re: Mary Carroll died 1830's & her son Phillip who married 1832

kajyal — 2012-05-27 06:32:24Z

It's highly unlikely your Wilson was a grandson of Philip Carroll Sr. & his wife Mary. Their oldest son was a John Carroll born April 23, 1798. It is unknown what became of him, no marriage record for him in the area. Their other sons were to young to have had a son by 1817. Ephraim Taylor Carle (various spellings found) & his first wife Mary Irwin had 2 children, Joseph & an unknown. Joseph was born in 1781, & drafted out of Jefferson Co. Ohio during the War of 1812. He & wife Maria Gordon later moved to Belmont Co. Ephraim married Nancy Clarke after his first wife's death. They had 7 children, none named Wilson. Their oldest son was John born 1793, next son was Nathaniel born 1798.

Re: Mary Carroll died 1830's & her son Phillip who married 1832

rwilson7135 — 2012-05-26 14:40:59Z

I have Wilson William Carl (often spelled as Carrel in earlier censuses) who moved from Salem Twp Jefferson County Ohio to Meigs County, Ohio around 1850. He was born about 1817 in Ohio and died about 1880. He married Elizabeth Swickard (dau of Daniel and Margaret Easterday Swickard) in Jefferson County in 1838. I am unsure where in Ohio he was born, and I am unsure of who his parents were. Could Wilson William Carl been one of Mary's grandchildren since he was born after Philip Sr's death in 1813?

Mary Carroll died 1830's & her son Phillip who married 1832

kajyal — 2012-05-25 23:40:28Z

Mary Carroll, widow of Philip Carroll Sr. was listed in the 1830 census in Harrison Co. with 1 son who has to be Phillip Jr. born about 1812. Philip Sr. died as a prisoner of war in Dec. 1813. Mary, maiden name unknown, was unable to care for her 9 children. She lined them up & ask families to take a child. The oldest 6 were taken in by various familes, but exactly what happened to the youngest 3 is a mystery. It's said she had a total breakdown which lasted for several years. Legal papers show guardians were appointed for the oldest 6. The family lived in Jefferson Co. at that time, but it later became part of Harrison Co. due to county line changes. My ancestor is Phillip Jr who married Mariah (sometimes called Marie) Feltenberger Sept. 13, 1832 in Harrison Co. According to recently found info he was adopted by an Olinger family, but am not certain what was meant by adopted. It's likely he remained in the legal custody of his mother, but was taken care of by the family for a time. About the estimated time of his mother's death in the mid 1830's he added the Olinger name to his own becoming Phillip Carroll Olinger. By doing so there must have been a strong connection to the Olingers. The only explanation I can think of for doing this at such a late date was to avoid upsetting his mother. The nearest Olinger family seems to be in Tuscarawas Co. where John & Christian lived. There was also an Ephraim Taylor Carle who died Dec. 18, 1837 in Harrison Co, a Rev. War vet. It's said the early spelling of the Carroll name was sometimes Carle or Carrell. There may, or may not, be a relationship, but both came from the Allegheny Co. Pennsylvania area just before moving to Ohio. Phillip & family moved to Indiana just prior to 1840.

Grover C. Johnson b. 1884 - please help!

Contribution — 2012-05-14 23:31:38Z

I am researching Grover C Johnson, b, Sept 22, 1884, baptismal records state Deersville as the location and his parents are R. J. Johnson and M. E. Tarbot.
I see him in Nottingham in the 1910 census as a farmhand. In 1920 and 1930 census he is living with his wife Ethel in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, Truro Township, Franklin County, Ohio (East of Columbus) with children. Family legend states that he and Ethel divorced and he returned to live and is buried in Harrison County, Ohio, Perhaps Cadiz, Ohio.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Re: Milliken

bettyeshort1 — 2012-03-20 00:10:00Z

Lucy Hutchinson, who was Robert Milligan Hutchinson's grandniece was married to a man by the name of Haines. Franklin Haines was born in Montana. He and Lucy are buried in Douglas County, Oregon. I haven't tracked the Haines family backward.
"They say" the Irish like to stay connected.
Robert was an extremely tall man for someone born in 1819, alleged to be over 7 foot tall. He was a pioneer from Illinois to Oregon. He is one of those men who is easy to track genealogically because he and his sons were frequently written up in newspapers.

Re: Milliken

slm6474 — 2012-03-19 18:32:21Z

Hi Bettye,John Milliken was a shoemaker and married a lady named Hannah Karbaugh, a native of PA. They came to Ohio and settled in Green Twp, Harrison Co. They remained there for some time and then removed (in 1815) to the farm where their son, Michael, lived. They were the parents of 14 children. It could be that one of the 14 children was a female who married and named James with her maiden name, as a a middle name. I do know that James father's name was Mark and he came from England. I have worked on this line for quite awhile with little success. My Nancy Milliken (as listed on her marriage record) married a Jesse Haines and they serttled in Noble Co, Ohio. In the Haines Family church Cemetery there is someone buried there named Milligan. On a couple of the death certificates for Haines children they state the mother was a Milligan. It drives me crazy!

Re: Milliken

bettyeshort1 — 2012-03-19 01:00:01Z

I don't know your John Milikin. However, there might be a connection between my James Hutchinson family from Antrim, Ireland. James immigrated in 1811 to New Jersey, married there and then moved his family to Ohio. He named his third son, Robert with the middle name Milligan. Robert was born in 1819 in Green, Harrison, Ohio. James left Ohio for Illinois before 1832. I haven't been able to find any connection to anyone with the last name, Milligan.

I am also descended from Joshua Brown (wife Anna Marie Jones). Have you had any luck tracing the parents of James K. Brown? I know James was born in Freeport, Harrison County, Ohio in 1809 and died on October 17, 1860 in Morning Sun, Louisa, Iowa. He and Mary(Dryden) Brown are buried in the Brown/Rice cemetery there. I would appreciate any leads about James K. Brown's parents.

Re: CRUMRINE, Finley & Mahala

MIKEKAGAY — 2012-01-18 16:52:41Z

Marvin Barr - I notice that on Rootsweb you list "Tunnel Hill" Cemetery in Monroe Township as Finley CRUMRINE's burial place. I think you could be absolutely correct, but I would love to know your source for that. Tunnel Hill is one of several cemeteries I've been focusing on in my search for Finley's grave. One correspondent on "Crumrine Family Genealogy Forum" (at Genealogy.com), Diana Miller, remembers seeing a headstone for Finley at Tunnel Hill years ago, but when she returned there to confirm it for me she could no longer find it among numerous unreadable or missing stones. The Monroe Township Cemetery Inscriptions book by the Harrison County Chapter of OGS did not find a headstone for Finley at Tunnel Hill when they enumerated the markers there (in the late 1980s or 1990s, I believe). That book also includes an earlier reading of the headstones there from the 1960s that doesn't list Finley either. So it must have gone missing or unreadable quite a while ago. So, while I think you may be absolutely right, I have simply failed so far myself to find any documentation. What is the source of your info? Many thanks. Cheers, - Mike Kagay

Re: CRUMRINE, Finley & Mahala

marvinwbarr — 2012-01-17 00:43:00Z

I'm really impressed familysearch continues to add more records and stays free, I hope they stay that way! I got the record for John's headstone application and didn't see any connection to the family for Rodney SIMONTON the man who ordered it, Rodney did live in Deersville as a child though.

The percentage is high that Finley as well as other family members have unmarked graves. I have searched for John Barr's father Thomas's grave for years and have had no luck, though a few people have a grave associated with him the date for that mans birth is over 20 years too late. John's mother Emily Fincer BARR is buried at the Harrison County Infirmary in an unmarked grave.

I firmly believe Finley is the Finley Poland from the 1870 census and Henry and Mary Givens CRUMRINE became his adoptive parents. This gives another possible location for his burial at Plum Run Cemetery in Harrison County where Henry CRUMRINE, his father is buried. It wouldn't be the first time someone used a false age in order to be married.
I've noticed it several times.

Re: CRUMRINE, Finley & Mahala

MIKEKAGAY — 2012-01-15 18:08:54Z

But maybe I'm being too hasty in ruling out the possibility that Finley CRUMRINE is buried in a BARR family plot at Patterson Cemetery, Deersville. On the application for John BARR's military headstone in 1933 it says: "This application is for the UNMARKED grave of a veteran" (emphasis in original). That implies that 25 years after his death John BARR still had no permanent marker on his grave. And that suggests that his wife, Sarah Underhill BARR, might also be buried nearby, likewise unmarked. And, if so, why not their son-in-law Finley CRUMRINE, too? This family may have been simply too poor to provide stone markers to their deceased. (But Mahala's brother is also buried at Patterson and he does have a marker, I believe. I should check that with the Franklin Township cemetery inscription book.) Would Patterson Cemetery have a master list of burials, I wonder?
