For some reason, P. Williams, Alice & Elisha, are enumerated on another page, but they have the same household number as the Neden/Needham family. I wonder if the census taker didn't get all the names the first time he called and had to go back to the house another day.

Seeking info on Needham surname

Contribution — 2013-04-07 22:29:01Z

Surnames: Needham, Neale, Neal, Bundy

Seeking any information about a Mr. Needham that had two daughters in Pomeroy,(Meigs county) Ohio.
Elizabeth (Eliza), born 1861 and Charlotte or Lottie, b. 1864 both in Pomeroy, Ohio according to their death certificates.
They are listed as "colored" No mothers name is listed but one death certificate states the father is Walch Needham. Could that be Walsh or Welch?
They have a connection with Lavinia/Lavina/Lovina Neal of Parkersburg, W. Va. Her obituary lists them as sisters although it is possible there is some other sort of relationship such as half-sister.
Eliza marries Rev. Charles Bundy and their children are born in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio

Thanks for any assistance.

The historical society sounds promising. Do you know if they have a genealogist that I could hire to look up a few deeds in the Meigs County Courthouse?

I wish I could get to Meigs County, but it seems as if it is 4-5 hours from Pittsburgh - so I don't see that happening any time soon....

Very good historical society in Pomeroy and Chester

becdecoy4558 — 2013-04-04 15:30:40Z

I so enjoy the shops in Pomeroy. We have family in Middleport...

Gerlach relatives. It is one of our special treats to go to Pomeroy and
sit in a booth at McDonalds and watch the boats go by in the Ohio River.
I have lived in West Virginia -- lots there...My sister and her husband have
taken cemetery photos on both sides of the river and have built a library'
around their ventures. My sister says they have more time than money --
but they have a great time recording what is being lost very fast... Including old barns.

Trying to find more info on the Hayes family.
Chandler Hayes married Sarah (?) Brickel.
They had Mordicia in 1860, John abt 1862, Charles
abt 1864 and the only daughter I can find named
Fannie. Unsure of when she was born.

Mordicia could have been known as Alphues. But unsure.
Mordicia married a Ms. Franicis (Frannie) Olive Parsons.

Any help would be great. I am looking for documents since I document everything, but very willing to get any information to help me find what I'm looking for. I have very little on Mordicia's parents and nothing past his parents.

Re: Nicholas & Mathias Heitger - Meigs County

angelknuth — 2013-03-12 03:07:44Z

Mathias Heitger is my great-great grandfather and I too have been searching for information on him and his wife Barbara. What I've found is that Barbara was born in 1843, arrived in the States in 1847 and married Mathias in 1863. I have lots of residence possibilities after that and recently found one for Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1889 with Barbara as a widow. Not sure if that's the correct lineup or not, but hoping to learn more as I make connections with my past.

Re: George Duskey / Dusky

cynthiafunk — 2013-02-01 00:01:58Z

The census of Somerset PA doesn't show any Duskey or Dusky. I just read every name beginning with D for 1800 and there's nothing similar. I am wondering if they were known as something different at that time.
Is there any information about whether George Duskey was born in the village of Somerset, the township of Somerset, or the county of Somerset?
I would be very interested in knowing more about
George Duskey's exact birthdate and how it's known Ellen was his sister.

No - I have never been to Meigs County. I just discovered last year that my great-great-grandparents met in Meigs in the 1850s. Her family lived in Meigs (Middleport) from the 1850s through the 1880s or so...

Re: Highly Detailed Map of Meigs County from 1877

rayjones56 — 2013-01-28 03:26:34Z

Ya - I was amazed by the consistency between then and now with the street names. Nearly every street in the part of Middleport where my ancestors live is the same today as it was in 1877.

Highly Detailed Map of Meigs County from 1877

rayjones56 — 2013-01-26 19:17:20Z

I looked through this map yesterday, and was amazed at the level of detail. My gr-gr-gr-grandfather. John J. Coates, owned lot 8 in the Sheffield section of Middleport in 1867. This map from 1877 clearly shows the lots in the various parts of the town - and seems to reflect the actual County numbering system.
