UPDATE: Lake Co. Schools

oldohioschools — 23 Jul 2008 1:04:13 GMT

I have just finished my overhaul of the Lake County Schools page on my website.

http://www.oldohioschools.com/lake_county.htm

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. It now loads much faster and is more user-friendly for people wanting to only view a certain county.

John Paytosh Family, Fairport Harbor

beckibob — 2 Dec 2001 10:46:41 GMT

I ma searching for any information on the Paytosh family who lived in lake County in the late 1800s and early 1900s. My grandmother was Mary Paytosh. He father's name was John Paytosh, who is said to have owned a restaurant or bar in Fairport Harbor, OH that featured silver dollars embedded in the bar.

Mary's siblings included: John, George, Steve and Harold. Their wives were (respectively): Anna, Anna, and Mary. Harold died in a boating accident and never married. Eventually, Mary married Harry Zick of Akron, OH, and they lived in Cleveland, later Maple Heights.

I'd love to hear from anyone who can help me find more information on John Paytosh's bar rumor has it that it may been more than a bar, i.e. a "gentleman's club), John's wife's name, more about how Harold died, and anything else. Also if any other Paytosh descendents are out there, I'd love to get in touch.

Samuel Harpending

CorneliaWarner44 — 27 May 2008 10:18:38 GMT

I've been banging my head against a solid brickwall in the finger lakes area for this man when it occured to me that maybe I was looking in the wrong place. and maybe not, but I'll give it a shot.
Samuel lived in towns and villages around the western finger lake in New York, and we know from his father Peter's probate that Samuel died before 1850. in 1850 we find two of Samuel's children, who are mentioned in Peter's probate, living in Lake Co., OH, with a completely unrelated family. we don't know and haven't found the story behind this, but maybe Samuel removed to Ohio, was friends with Ephraim Marsh and gave his children into guardianship to Ephraim. it's only a hypothesis at this time.
can anyone tell me if there is a burial or any record for Samuel in Lake Co.? I have searched one cemetery without any luck, Perry cemetery, in the town the family lived in. a search of the OH GenWeb site brings forth no Harpending's.

MchlSpil — 8 May 2008 9:34:43 GMT

Hannah (b: 1886)

John Barkinson, Fairport citizenship sponsor

44040 — 14 May 2008 1:21:49 GMT

On many applications for citizenship from Finland, John "Barkinson" was a sponser for many in the 1880s and 90s.
First, I tried Finngen to make sure Barkinson wasn't a truly Finnish last name but no one on the list could take a guess as to who's son Barkin might be.
I think he may have been from Isokyro or Ylistaro parishes as those seem to be the birthplaces of many men who came in the early days to work the docks or railroad.

Any help/thoughts welcome,
Jennifer

Lake County Marriage Indexes

Jim — 29 May 2002 11:45:13 GMT

I had an uncle [Michael Galanda] that managed to get married somewhere between 6 and 8 times. No one is quite sure, neither was he before he passed away <s>. I've found a couple of the marriages in Cuyahoga County, there was one in CA that I've found, and it's suspected that three marriages occurred in Lake County.

His last marriage in Cuyahoga County was c 1948 [I've already got the marriage record on request for that one] and the marriage in CA was in 1965. I suspect that the Lake County marriages most likely occurred between 1948-1958.

I've been unable to find any on-line indexes for marriages in Lake County; I imagine they exist. Is anyone aware of a ource?...I'm trying to avoid sending an e-mail [or letter] to Lake County looking for three marriages between such a wide range of years.

TIA,
Jim

Who was John Barkinson? Fairport 1880s

44040 — 18 Jan 2008 1:22:41 GMT

I know he was Finnish as citizenship papers show him as a witness or sponser but Barkinson isn't a Finnish name. I can guess a translation of John but Barkinson stymies me.
Could he have been a recruiter?
Thanks-Jennifer

Thomas Earl Railling, POW/MIA Korean War

powmiadna — 26 Nov 2007 9:10:49 GMT

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

Soldier: THOMAS EARL RAILLING
Born: April 9, 1929. Caucasian
Date of loss: July 14, 1950. POW

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 51 families in Ohio that have not been located. There is one family from Lake 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.

Ephraim Marsh Marriage Look-up Needed

CorneliaWarner44 — 1 Nov 2007 6:26:13 GMT

would some kind soul look for the several marriages of Ephraim Marsh who was in Lake Co. in 1850.
I think he married 3 times, possibly not all in Lake Co., first to an unknown woman, then in the 1830's or early 1840's to a Mrs. Harpending, then to a Catherine Sholts(?) before 1850.
I've looked through the Ashtabula Co. and Geauga Co. online marriage indexes and did not find him in either list. hopefully he will show up at least once in Lake Co.
thank you for your time and help.

Ada Carrie Buffington Sharp

SLYMC — 14 Dec 2005 7:18:30 GMT

In Lake County I am researching the names BUFFINGTON, TULLAR, BRIGHAM and JEWELL. The date range is from 1800 to 1952 when my great grandmother, Ada Carrie Buffington Sharp died in the Madison Home in Lake County Ohio. I am especially interested in determining HOW the family ended up in Kirtland and then in Willoughby. Was there a Morman connection? I believe that originally the Buffingtons were Quakers in Massachusetts.
Thanks

Antionette Ballauer Auto Accident, 25 May 1930

owenjulia — 5 Jul 2007 6:23:08 GMT

I have the death certificate for Antonette Ballauer who died in an auto accident on 05/25/1930 on Hubbard Road about 3/4 mile north of N. Ridge, Madison in Lake County.

She is buried near my family members and am trying to figure out if the John Ballauer she was married to is the same John Ballauer who's my 2nd cousin.

She was born in Cleveland on 3/10/1911. She lived, with her husband, at 6304 Carl Avenue in Cleveland.
She was buried in Calvary Cemetery; 10000 Miles Ave; Cleveland, OH 44105 very close to where my John Balluer parents were buried.

Since she was only 19 years old when she died, and my John was about the same age, I'm wondering if she was a first marriage?

Can you help?

Anna Allen Ontis, Onondaga Co, NY > Lake Co, OH

RonSchulz51 — 1 Jul 2007 6:59:58 GMT

I’m looking into the parentage of ANNA ALLEN who would have to have been born by 1800 or earlier. She was the mother of Allen T. Ontis (born Jan. 12, 1817) and probably the mother of Eliphalet S. Ontis (born about 1818-1819). Both of these births would have occurred in Salina, Onondaga County, where Henry Ontis (Ontos/Ontus, Antis? etc.) lived since at least 1812. All this comes from a Family Bible that is short on details.
Son Allen lived in Auburn until moving to Kansas in 1857.
Eliphalet S. moved to Lake County Ohio by 1846 and the Bible mentions that Anna Allen died in "Wainsville Ohio" in 1856, but Painesville Ohio is most probably meant. I still find nothing on her there.
Allen’s obituary claims “Ethan Allen, the hero of Ticonderoga, was his Uncle, and he was named after him and probably the “T” in his name stands for Ticonderoga.”
So I’m looking for “Allen” family connections for this Anna, who moved to Ohio, any connections welcome.

Here is what I have:
1. HENDRICK K. WILLBERG was born Abt. 1873 in Finland, and died Unknown. He married ELIZABETH HAUTAMAKI Unknown. She was born Abt. 1871 in Finland, and died Unknown.

Children of HENDRICK WILLBERG and ELIZABETH HAUTAMAKI are:

Notes for THELMA ELIZABETH WILLBERG:
