Searching for Grandmother, Helen Chapman of Oak Hill

slopez918_1 — 3 Apr 2008 4:08:53 GMT

My grandmother, Helen Chapman had my mother & aunt (identical twins) when she was about 31 years old in 1953, & immediately gave them to the Gertrude Ramey Children's Home in Ashland, Ky., where they stayed until the age of 19. She supposedly already had two other daughters; the oldest named Laura? (maybe) about 5 or 6 years old in late 1952, the younger daughter was 3 or 4. I possess this information from an anonymous letter I received in response to my plea to find my grandmother printed in the Herald Dispatch in 2001. The person also wrote that Helen lived with her mother & father (possible named Lawrence?) in a house on Buffalo Creek Road in Lawrence County, Ohio up until 1953, (the year the twins were born) when the house became empty. The person then says they "heard" Helen Chapman was working in or owned a small grocery store in Oak Hill, Ohio. They "heard talk to this effect as late as 1985."

Any information anyone may have would be so helpful. I am 34 years old now, with 3 children of my own, & only wish to fill in a gap of my family history that has been missing for sooo long. It is also my greatest wish to give any information to my mother & aunt for Mother's Day.

Thank you, & God Bless!

Hiram Sollars - 1821 - Jackson Co., OH - Elizabeth Graves

ireland8548 — 27 Sep 2008 2:54:41 GMT

1843 March 07, Hiram Sollars married Elizabeth Graves in Jackson Co., OH
1850 Census: On August 27, 1850, Living in Richland, Vinton Co., OH
1860 Census: On June 15, 1860, Living in Essex, Stark Co., IL
------------------

Biographical history of Page County, Iowa :
---------
HIRAM SOLLARS, a well-known and respected resident of Washington Township, has been a citizen of Page County, Iowa, since 1872. He was born in Jackson County, Ohio, March 30, 1821, and is a son of Michael Sollars, a native of Virginia, of German origin. His mother was Hosanna Waldron, a native of Virginia, and a daughter of Philip Waldron, who was a soldier in the wars of the Revolution and 1812. Young Sollars was reared in the county in which he was born, and was trained to the occupation of a farmer. Arriving at the age of manhood, he was united in marriage, March 07, 1843, to Miss. Elizabeth Graves, a native of Jackson County, Ohio, and a daughter of James and Sarah (Murray) Graves, natives of the State of North Carolina.

Mr. Sollars lived in Ohio until 1852, when the spirit of enterprise was too strong to be repressed and he emigrated to Stark County, Illinois; he remained there until 1872, when, as before stated, he came to Page County, Iowa. He purchased a tract of wild land consisting of 120 acres, which he has since subdued and brought under cultivation; he has also made excellent improvements in the erection of buildings, and the planting of fruit and shade trees.

Mr. and Mrs. Sollars are the parents of eight children: Francis M. was a member the One Hundred and Twelfth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and was mustered into the service in May, 1864; he died August 18, 1864, at Camp Butler, Illinois. David is a prominent farmer of Washington Township, a full sketch of whom will be found elsewhere in this volume: Emza is the wife of Thomas Denhurst of Missouri; Jane is the wife of T. Duckworth of Shenandoah, Iowa; Nancy Ann is the wife of Joseph Hamilton of Washington Township; Sarah Dollison; Mary, wife of I. Speakman; Austin, a resident of Washington Township, married Henrietta Greene.

Mr. Sollars is a Republician of the radical type, and is an advocate of the principles of Prohibition. He is an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Blanchard. Although he has almost attained the "three score years and ten allotted to man," his age sits lightly upon him. He is firm in his convictions of right and wrong, and has attained an enviable position in the county.

John Henry Johnson Look-Up Please

honey_bee45 — 8 Aug 2008 4:55:33 GMT

Hi, I'm unable to get to Jackson County during the week to do a look-up, so I'm asking for help. I'm looking for the parents of John Henry Johnson. According to his death certificate and at least 1 of his children's death certificate, he was born in Jackson County. The John Johnson (probably his son) that gave the info on death certificate didn't know the names of John Henry's parents.

John Henry Johnson,
born: March 12, 1873, Jackson Co., Ohio
died: Aug. 16, 1954, New Straitsville, Coal Twp., Perry Co., Ohio, and he is buried in the New Straitsville Cemetery.

John married Ida May Sherman, about 1894, and since Ida was also born in Jackson Co., I would say they were married in in Jackson, Vinton or Meigs County. They lived in Perry Co. in 1900, in Guernsey Co. in 1910 and Ida died there in 1916. John moves back to Perry Co. by 1920 and lives the rest of his live there. He did remarry about 1922 to Eunice Mace/Vincent, she died in 1947.

Other surnames that I have found in the Jackson and Vinton area that maybe related to John are Gregory and Perry.

If someone could please check and see if they can find a birth certificate and see who his parents are I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, if you think you maybe related, please let me know.

Thank You, Diane honey_bee45@yahoo.com

Man born 3 June 1890 Jackson Co Oh

ygeyoung — 31 Mar 2008 11:25:47 GMT

This is an odd query but I am trying to identify parentage for a man who claimed in his WWI draft registration that he was born 3 June 1890 in Jackson Co Oh. His name was William David NEWMAN, but it is said that Newman was not his real birth name. Presumably "William David" are his correct given names? His real surname might have been one of the "Mc" names such as McCain, etc. His mother is said to have been named Lydia. I am hoping some one might have access to the birth records for Jackson Co and be able to check any births recorded for 3 June 1890. Any help or suggestions appreciated.

He wrote to his home people for several years, then never again heard from. He was married.

He lived in Jackson Co., Madison Twp., Ohio until atleast 1870, where he is listed on the 1870 United States Census. He was living with his brother at that time.

Need Town Identification Help

hawkman_ohio — 14 Apr 2007 6:58:18 GMT

I have the marirage license for a cousin of mine who married a Leonard Thacker in Columbus. Leonard is listed as born in 1908, the son of Herman Thacker. I found Herman and Leonard Thacker on the 1910 Census in Milton, Jackson County, Ohio. I cannot identify on the marriage where he was born and was wondering if someone in Jackson might recognize it right off. It looks like Minorton to me. I believe Herman was in Vinton in 1900 and I can try there if need be. You can view the marriage license at this link.

A short family history written by a descendant of John Coons written in 1885 states the parents of Henry Coons came from Germany. Henry died in Jackson Co, OH in 1827.

French Five Hundred

alanpruitt1 — 10 Jan 2007 10:13:07 GMT

Hello: I am trying to connect the dots about family (lore) connection to the (Ohio) 'French Five Hundred'. Remember seeing a faded paperback book (Sibley, published circa 1933?) when I was a kid. The family heritage book that refers to 'FFH' is the "PETHOD" family. I am part of the ANTHONY line that traces its roots to OH circa 1825 (Levi Anthony). 'FFH' arrived circa 1790 in present-day Gallia County. My trail runs cold at 1825. Early Ohio tax records show David Anthony (1825: Jackson County) and William Anthony (1819: Brown County) and William Anthony (1806: Butler County). Any assistance would be appreciated.

Parents of Susan/Susanna Salts

Living_Royce — 10 Jan 2007 3:20:21 GMT

I am having problems researching the parents of Susanna Salts, b. 1815 in Ohio. Supposed parents are William Salts (b. 1803 in Virginia) and Sarah UNKNOWN (b. 1793 in Virginia). She wed in 1837 in Jackson County, Ohio to husband, (I'm sure), Stewart or Steward Thompson (b. 1805 in Ohio). Their children were born in Ross County, Ohio. They then moved to Illinois between 1850 and 1853.

Problems:
You can see William probably was too young to father Susanna. Also, some family trees list Sarah as being William's sister. Possible, I suppose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Steve Royce

John W. and Jennie Stephenson

dischbeinjr — 23 Nov 2006 8:49:15 GMT

trying to find out about this couple. John W. was born May 6, 1847 in Oceania Hills, Ohio. ( no longer a town ). He married Jennie L. Willis in 1874 and their children were : Charles G., Joseph W, Ray H, Jennie v, Walter B, Florence E, who married Lafayette Harry Ribble in Indiana Sept 08, 1906, and George F.

I believe he was the son of John and Sarah born in Virginia. However on Ancestry.com, in their marriage records, it is saying that his father was Samuel Stephenson and Jane Swope. I found a John Jr in 1850 Jackson county census with John and Sarah and at the bottom there was a 70 year old named Samuel who was also born in Virginia.

Lookup for marriage record - 1910-1913

Debbie McKenzie — 22 Sep 2006 11:48:51 GMT

Hello!
Seeking record of marriage for William Bailey to Carrie Wray Kearns/Kerns which may have taken place in Jackson Co. This would have been between 1910 and 1913, most likely 1911 (by the census information I have for 1910 and 1920). This would be Carrie's second marriage, and I need to know if she was divorced or widowed. Any information welcome.
Thanks!

Mrs. T.C. or F.C. Andrews of Cambridge, Ohio

computerwolf — 2 Sep 2006 3:15:16 GMT

I have in my possession a bible, Revised Standard Edition, Thomas Nelson & Sons, dated 1953. On the inside is handwritten: "Mrs T.C. or F.C. Andrews, 824 Oakland Blvd., Cambridge, Ohio, September '53."

There are many writings in the bible as if someone were taking notes during a sermon or bible study session. There are numerous articles pasted in it that apparently come from newspapers, but no dates. One column is written by a Dr. Crane. On the back of another article appears 209 NINTH STREET and the words United Presbyterian.

I found this bible in a little antique shop in McKinney, Texas, just northeast of Dallas and would like to get it back into family hands if possible.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

HARTLEY, KIA Korean War, Jackson County

H. Davis — 28 Aug 2006 7:51:13 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Jackson County Ohio as his home of record.

Soldier: Charles Walyter Hartley
Born: July 23, 1921. Caucasian
Date of loss: Killed in Action April 23,1951. His remains were never recovered

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 158 families in Ohio that have not been located. There is one family from Jackson County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Amos Webb and Leron Stone

jab2664 — 19 Jul 2006 2:24:55 GMT

I am looking for information on an Amos Webb, probably from Ohio (around the Jackson County area), but not sure. I recieved a Bible from my grandfather after he died that has written in it "Leroy Stone and Amos Webb Arrested by a bunch of crooks for nothing; August 6, 1913; Released Nov. 4, 1913; Found Not Guilty." The next page reads "L. R. Stone and A. Webb, Attorneys at Law" I live in Tennessee and have no way to get to Jackson, Co. to go through old court records. What I am mainly looking for is if anyone knows anything about these men and what they were arrested for.

Thanks,
