Thomas or Julia Seals, early 1800's

kathryncox_1 — 13 Sep 2008 7:44:59 GMT

Thomas and Julia were both born in the first decade of the 1800's. I can trace Thomas and Julia through the census with their families in Jefferson Co. Both were born in Ohio and lived in Wells Twp and Smithfield during their lives. I believe I have most of the documentation for their lives in Jefferson Co.

Does anyone have these names in your early Seals' family? I am aware of the Nathan Seals/Matilda Moore family of Belmont Co which was shared with me by another researcher. Although my names are of the same period, they are not siblings of Nathan as far as we can tell. Since no parents have been proven for Nathan or those in Jefferson Co, this is still a puzzle to be solved.

I am looking for parents and/or siblings. Since Julia married in Wells Twp to Jacob Cox in 1828 at the home of her father-in-law, I keep wondering where her parents lived, or even if they were alive at this point in time.

Any help or suggestions for further research would be appreciated.

1910 Steubenville Twp census translation

Larryprice30 — 25 May 2008 5:26:35 GMT

Reference is made to 1910 Steubenville Twp, Jefferson Co., census of a Ray Lloyd, son-in-law, 24 OH OH OH. (626-182-147--line 79)
1. I can't seem to read the head of household's name where he, his wife and child are staying with.
It begins with an "E" but his wife name looks like Eunice?
Anyway I can't find the spelling of this in the 1910 census of Jefferson Co. in order to verify. I think his first name is Morris??
2. Ray Lloyd's wife's name is also un-readable. Although their daughter name is Wilma E.
Appreciate any help in transcribing this census entry.

Seeking Info on Electric Studio Photography in Steubenville

Lauren_E_K — 24 Nov 2007 2:37:26 GMT

I recently came in possession of some old family photos -- so old we are having difficulty identifying the who, when, and where of the subjects!

Some of the photos are stamped "Electric Studio, 144 South 4th St., Steubenville, OH" -- does anyone have any knowledge of this studio? In particular, I am trying to find out when it was in operation (or if it still is, as I am not from the area) so I can narrow down the window of time in which these photos were taken.

I would greatly appreciate any info you can share!
Thank you!

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.

Dr. W.W. Sturgis, Ava Sturgis, Steubenville

bonniewalsh — 15 Sep 2002 8:00:22 GMT

Found at missinglinks@ petuniapress.com

" I have a shoe box full of picture and assorted memorabilia
from Pennsylvania in the early 1900s. I used to work at an
antique store here in Vine Grove, Kentucky, and the owners were
going to throw these away. They had bought a lot of items from
an older woman and these things were in the box. She died soon
thereafter. I was told she had no living relatives. I have had
this box for almost ten years now and still don't have the heart
to throw it away.
Most of the pictures have names and dates on the back. Most
seem to be of a STURGIS family, Dr. W. W. STURGIS. There is a
picture of Ava STURGIS, taken in 1924 by Fried Studio,
510 Market St., Steubenville, Ohio; GARDEN SCHOOL grades 1-8,
taken in 1918; Old SHAW home in Glenshaw, Pennsylvania.
Some of the pictures mention towns: Hubbard, Ohio; Washington,
Pennsylvania; picture of MALVIUS SCHOOLHOUSE 1914-1915;
Hastings, Pennsylvania; and Barnesboro, Pennsylvania. There is
also a program from 1904 Annual Reunion of Erie Lodge No. 124
Knights of Pythias, 2267 1-2 Euclid Ave. Cleveland, Ohio. One
of the pictures of Dr. STURGIS has written on the back "a copy
of this picture hangs in a room in Allegheny Hospital, Uncle
Warren was the first intern in the old A.G.H. Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania." Some of the surnames on the pictures are GREELEY,
EMANUEL, COSGRAY, ROTHWELL, APPLEGATE, BRUER, DICKERSON. There
is also a picture of RIDGE SCHOOL 4th grade in Hubbard, Ohio.
I would like very much for someone who would appreciate them
to have these items."
(I am not related and do not have the pictures but saw them on the website and just thought someone might be family of the above mentioned people and want the pictures.)

Iona Katherine Coleman, records needed

BradKuhn35 — 19 Jun 2008 2:42:46 GMT

i'm looking for information on a couple that lived in Mt. Pleasant Twnship, Jefferson Co Ohio some time between 1910 and possible into the 1950's or 60's. I only know the wife's name, Iona Katherine, born Iona Katherine Berry in Belmont Co Ohio. Iona was a great-aunt and I can't find anything on her. When her mother passed away in 1942, the Zanesville Times Recorder announced her travel plans, along with her sister's, to Dayton for the funeral. I'm trying to get back up that way to do some more research in the St. Clairsville and Steubenville area. Most of my family resided in Belmont Co from 1860 through the 1940's. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Warrenton Cemetery -- Restoration Needed, please help

marys1015 — 26 Mar 2008 4:31:45 GMT

Not to long ago I read in the on-line Steubenville Herald newspaper about the Warrenton Cemetery, in/near Rayland, Ohio. It was on a long list of cemeteries that needed restoration. Efforts were being made to try to find people to clean up the Warrenton Cemetery. Records of people buried and photos of graves in this cemetery are being added to Find-A-Grave. Please view the entries. More are being added daily.

Please look at the picture of the headstone for Abel Ashby, 1884-1913; and the other headstones. Mr. Ashby's grave is near a steep hillside. It is covered with vines! The oldest grave recorded in this cemetery is of Moses KIMBELL, 1747-1828. Spring is about to bring new growth, soon everthing will be covered. I hope the cemetery receives attention soon. The Jefferson County Historical Society would appreciate help with this project. Maybe the cemetery can be cleaned up for Decoration Day / Memorial Day with your help.

Some of the names in this cemetery are: Ashby, Bigger, Billingsley, Birch, Carpenter, Carr, Collins, Cusick, Hall, Jackson, King, Kimball, Kiss, Lewis, Litten, Peterlin, Risdon, Sixsmith, Wareham, Warnock, and Weiss.

rose8grand — 23 Mar 2008 7:30:17 GMT

It's been a while, so I thought I would submit a new message.

My ggrandparents were Patrick McLaughlin, b.1836, possibly County Cork or Roscommon, d. about 1901, place unknown, and Catherine Ruane (Rohane), b.1844, possibly County Cork or Roscommon, d.1906, Steubenville. They came to America around 1868 and settled in Steubenville.

They first went to England about 1865, where a daughter Ella was born.

They had four other daughters:
Catherine, b.1860, Ireland, d.1912, Toronto, Ohio, m. Edward Cadegan, b.1859, Nova Scotia, Canada, d.1928, Toronto. She was my grandmother.
Bridget, b.1861, Ireland, d.1928, Steubenville, m. John Ross Devlin, b.1857, d.1928.
Mary, b.1870, Steubenville.
Lillian Amelia, b.1878, Steubenville, d.1949, m. William Edward Fitzgerald, b.1873, Ravenna, Ohio, d.1957.

They also had three sons:
Thomas, b.1868, Steubenville, d. before 1906
James, b.1869, Steubenville, d. before 1906
M., b.1871, Steubenville

I would like to know if Patrick and Catherine actually came from County Cork or Roscommon, and who were their parents. When and where did they get married. Where did Patrick die. We have no record of his death. I would appreciate any available information. Noreen Rose

John and George POPE

bonetraill1 — 11 Jun 2003 8:07:17 GMT

Looking for any information concerning these two individuals and their familes. They both appear in the 1810 census index for Jefferson Co, and John seems to have stayed there (1820 census), while George moved on to neighboring Harrison Co..

John, according to the 1820 census, would have been born between 1795-1776, probably closer to 1776. He may have came from PA, VA, or MD.

George, according to the 1830 Harrison Co. census, would have been born betweem 1770 and 1760.

Does anyone have any knowlegde of where they came from, were they actually brothers as I think, or what happened to John after the 1820 census, or George after 1830? Any names or dates of family members would be deeply appreciated; this is a long standing brick wall, and I'm not sure where to turn next...

Ashby in Wells and Warren Township

tmuraskijr — 23 Oct 2003 5:18:02 GMT

I was hoping that someone could direct me to some good sources in Jefferson County, Ohio to find any records on the Ashby clan. They arrived in Jefferson in about 1811, but left little or no records. I have found some census records and two or three marriage records, but for being in the county, living, owning land, and dying for nearly 70 years, I am amazed at the lack of records left behind. If anyone can give me any advice on Jefferson County, OH records, it would be deeply appreciated. I have also seen Ashby spelled Ashly and Ashley. Thanks so much.

MOORE

egloryriver — 24 Jan 2008 6:14:46 GMT

My Moore(s)were in Jefferson County around 1836, then settled in Meigs County by 1850s. Not listed in the 1840 Census.

I am wondering if these Moore(s)born in Ireland are related?
Andrew Moore b. 1795 m. Mary ?? from PA -- not to be funny, but was it a requirement to marry a Mary or wife from PA?

Christopher Moore b. 1785 m. Jane 1788 PA
James Moore b. 1777 m. Mary b. 1779 PA
James Moore b. 1812 m. Mary b. 1807/8 PA
John Moore b. 1806 m. Mary I b. 1816 PA
John Moore b. 1785 m. Mary b. 1796 PA
Robert Moore b. 1823 m. Elizabeth b. PA

Other Moore(s) I found in 1840 Jefferson County Census (Unfortunately, it only lists head of household & no other information)--my Andrew (white) was not listed:
Thomas, Christopher, William, Edward, Ezekiel --Wayne
Elizabeth, John -- Salem
Ezekiel, William, Hannah, Polly -- Stuben~
William, George -- Mt. Pleasant

Maxwell, Speedy, Foulks/Fulks in Island Creek

RandyElizabethF — 7 Oct 2005 1:36:04 GMT

I believe that Sarah FOULKS/FULKS b:abt 1821 married Thomas A. SPEEDY. Also Jane FOULKS/FULKS b:abt 1828 married John SPEEDY. And Euphima FOULKS/FULKS b: 1831 married James M. MAXWELL. I believe all the FOULKS were daughters of David FULKS b:Virginia and Flora MACKEY.

Sarah and Thomas SPEEDY are listed in the 1880 Ohio census, Island Creek with 3 children and James, Thomas' brother. Jane SPEEDY is also listed as a widow with 2 children. James and Euphima MAXWELL are listed in the 1880 Ohio Census, Knox, with 4 children.

I am looking to connect these families and confirm that all the girls are daughters of Jacob FULKS. I have the FOULKS/FULKS family also in Trumbull Co., and Harrison, Co

thanks Elizabeth Foulks

Robert John Shaw

Sonize — 31 Jan 2008 12:49:20 GMT

Robert married a Sarah Jane Clark (b: 1815, chrnd: 17 Sept 1815 in Morley, New Chapel (Independent)Yorkshire, England) on 13 June 1836 in Fewston, Yorkshire, England.

I have the marriages of 5 children. I also have death certificates for John W. Shaw, Charlotte C. Shaw Glennon, Lucilla M. Shaw Branch, Samuel C. Shaw.

Swickard's and Miller's in Island Creek Twp., Jefferson Co. Ohio

daveincamas — 11 Mar 2004 3:53:16 GMT

I am trying to trace the Isaac Miller family. I have hit a "brick wall" so I am tracing the spouses of Isaac Miller's children, specifically, Samuel Swickard, who married Elizanna (could be AKA Ellsenah, Elvina) Miller. Samuel Swickard died 26 March 1917 in Douglas Co. Oregon. I suspect he was born in Island Creek Twp., where the Isaac Miller family also lived:

1860 Census, Island Creek Twp:

Isaac Miller age 53 b. Pennsylvania
Matilda Miller age 47 b. Pennsylvania
Mary E. Miller age 20 b. Ohio
Sarah Miller age 18 b. Ohio
Lucinda Miller age 13 b. Ohio
Susan Miller age 10 b. Ohio
Elizanna Miller age 5 b. Ohio
Anderson Miller age 1 b. Ohio

Jacob Swickard age 49 b. Ohio
Mary Swickard age 44 b. Ohio
Elizabeth Swickard age 22 b. Ohio
Temperance Swickard age 20 b. Ohio
Nancy Swickard age 18 b. Ohio
Margaret Swickard age 15 b. Ohio
Virginia Swickard age 12 b. Ohio
Marietta Swickard age 10 b. Ohio
James A. Swickard age 7 b. Ohio
Samuel Swickard age 4 b. Ohio

I am guessing it is this Samuel Swickard that married Elizanna Miller. However by 1870 the Millers have moved to Harrison Co., Ohio (but the Swickard's are still in Island Creek Twp., Jefferson Co.). There are no other Swickard's in Harrison Co. in 1870.

My questions:
1. Do any of these names sound familiar?
2. Did this Samuel and Elizanna (Ellsenah, Elvina) get married?
3. Where did Samuel Swickard go after 1870?

Thanks,

Dave

Seeking burial location Jacob Allen 1839-1908 Mary K. Allen 1838-1909

angelamac2 — 25 Jul 2007 5:35:25 GMT

I am searching for the burial location of the following couple.

Mary K. "Katie" Allen, maiden name Bauder, was born in Germany May 1838 and died in Columbus, Franklin County, OH on 7 Jun 1909. Her death certificate lists Stuebenville as the place of burial on 9 June 1909.

I found the death of a Jacob Allen on 26 January 1908, age 72, which fits the dates for her husband. My Jacob Allen was born in New Jersey.

The couple was living in Stuebenville in the 1900 census. Most of their married life, however, was spent in Delaware County, OH.

Does anyone have a transcription of cemeteries for Steubenville? A couple of books of transcriptions are at Digital Shoebox, but I couldn't find Jacob and Mary Allen.

Or, if someone can help me find an obituary for either of them in the local paper that might have a clue, that would be grealty appreciated.

Thanks,
Angela,
Michigan

My g gp Michael Peter OSTER & Eva Magdalina TITUS were married in Steubenville in 1850. I think they met there but am not sure. Are there books or articles about German immigration to Steubenville in that era? Any information or suggestions will be most appreciated.
