Another problem with finding someone's parents that early, is that Hocking County has no birth or death records prior to 1867. the marriage records start earlier, but you would have to try New York for a birth records. The records for the east coast start earlier that Ohio's do.

Re: USS Hocking

cupoftea3748 — 2013-05-19 10:18:03Z

The USS Hocking was named by placing all of the Ohio counties names is a hat and the winning name drawn was Hocking.
The USS Hocking held what was to be their last reunion in Hocking County, Ohio in 2007. The group spent several days in town There were 8 surviving crew members and their families in attendance. While in town the crew was honored by a ceremony at the Historical Society, and a parade through town complete with Military personal, bands, scouts, and flag waving people ;lining the streets. They were also in town in time to see the retirement ceremonies of a retiring USMC Major. The state of Ohio issued a USS Hocking Day to celebrate the USS Hocking Crew '

The USS Hocking was a WWII assault transport ship (APA 121) christened on Oct. 27, 1944, and was decommissioned at Norfolk, Va. on May 1, 1946.

She was designed to carry troops and supplies into Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and won 2 battle stars. When to battles did not go well for our military, the USS Hocking quickly became a hospital ship which carried 500 wounded men to Guam. From that date she carried wounded men to safety.
As chance would have it, one wounded man to be carried out of harms way was a man from Hocking County, Ohio.

I do have copies of the newspaper articles, and so other collected data.

Hope this answeres your questions.

Re: Jacob H. SMITH

thomasker2 — 2013-04-06 20:44:51Z

I’m not related to any member of this family.

You will not find the parents of Jacob H. SMITH in the census records and these statements explain why -

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 +++

Re: Luther Smith

2013-04-04 15:23:17Z

Hi Jan, Merry Christmas. I don't know anything about Luther Smith. I was told that his wife (unknown by me) died in the early 1900's which left my grandmother who was born in 1900 to raise her siblings. I believe she had three brothers.
Thanks for your reply. Jeff

Re: Jennie Lucille Hartsaugh -- Luther Smith

2013-04-04 15:22:53Z

Jeff, Merry Christmas, What do you know about your Great-Grandfather, Luther Smith? Was he from the Laurelville area? The reason I caught this is that my Great-GreatGrandfather George W. Taylor, in his older years, married a Anna M. Gardiner in 1875. This is perplexing, though, because, they had a little girl, Marian, on Aug. 24, 1876. On the Birth Records of Hocking County, they have listed the Father as George W. Taylor, and Mother, Ann M. Smith, reported by Ann M. Taylor. I mean was Anna a Gardner or a Smith? This is why I need to know who this Luther is. Thanks Jan

Jennie Lucille Hartsaugh -- in Laurelville, OH

2013-04-04 15:21:49Z

Hi Robert, I was searching for info on my grandmother Jennie Lucille Hartsaugh (Smith) b. 12 apr 1900 d. 1987 who lived in laurelville for probably 30 years. My grandfather was Homer Clyde Hartsaugh b.1892 d.1980. They lived on the main street next to Larry's barber shop. None of which is there today. My grandparents owned the resturant across the street in the fiftys. My g-grandfathers name I beleive was Luther Smith. My g-grandmother died when Lucille was a little girl. One of my grandmothers close friends was Celesta Hoy who still lives in Laurelville. Any info would be very helpful. Thanks Jeff

Re: Anna M. (Smith) Gardner Taylor

2013-04-04 15:19:33Z

Bob, Thanks for your quick reply! I'm not sure on the Anna Smith, married to Spindler. Have never run onto any documents on him. On my Anna, on her marriage certificate to George W. Taylor, she is named as Annie M. Gardner. And then on the birth of her first Taylor child in 1876, the Mother's name is Ann M. Smith, Father, George W. Taylor. When I was up there in June, my sister and I went to South Perry and found the Old Methodists Epistical cemetary, where our George W. Taylor is buried. If my memory is correct, there are several people buried there. The only way we found that place was at the Historical Society in Pickaway Co, thru a listing of old funeral homes. If I lived up there I would do a transcription of the cemetary, but I'm here in Houston. Another Smith that we have in our files is one lady called Nancy Hurst (Smith) Taylor. She had a son named Harrison Smith (Taylor). This Taylor is our James (1845-1916). So Harrison Smith would be Taylor's step-son. Harrison was born 1870-1910. Nancy is buried I think, at the Mt Carmel Church Cemetary, along side Harrison. If you have time the old newspaper, "The Hocking Sentinel" was a very interesting paper in those days. But you have to go to the microfilms for that. Thanks again. Sure miss Ohio. Jeannette.

Jeanette, I have not found Anna GARDNER. I have 11 children listed for Henry W. Smith, but none named Anna. However, I am collecting all of the data that I can find on Smiths in Ross and Hocking County, OH, and I have the following marriage record from LDS Family History Library Film 317,416, Marriage Records of Hocking County, 1818-1865, copied through the courtesy of The Governor Worthington Chapter, DAR:
Smith, Anna married Spindler, J. C. June 9, 1864 by Wm. Porter, M. G. (Minister of the Gospel) in Hocking County, OH.
I do not know if this is the Anna Smith you are seeking, but I hope this helps. Good Luck, Bob Smith

Anna M. (Smith) Gardner Taylor -- late 1800's

2013-04-04 15:18:45Z

Robert, this is a shot in the dark, but here goes. I read your message and I am wondering if you have run into a lady named Anna M. Gardner. She married a George W. Taylor, around 1875. George is my great-great Grandfather. In 1876 they had a daughter named Marian. On this birth certificate, Anna is named as Anna M. Smith. It would appear her maiden name is Smith, she married a Gardner, then a Taylor. Now old George is elderly, lives in Salt Creek twp. He had a lot of children, in fact one of them, Richard Taylor , a civil war vet, whipped Ransfor Haynes in 1880. Richard was from his first marriage to Ellen Piles. My question is have you run into any Anna M. Smith, maybe a daughter of Henry Smith in this area? Thank you. J. Taylor Clark

I realize you posted your inquiry over a year ago but I just started my Armstrong family research. My relative is Elizabeth Armstrong who married George Flaningam and is the daughter of Thomas and Margaret Patten. I don't have much information at this point but am willing to share what I have if you would like to collaborate.
