Surnames: Lloyd, Loyd, Ridenour,
I am trying to find any information on a Thomas Lloyd. He was my gggrandfather. In 1820 census he was listed in Lebanon Township Meigs County Ohio. His age would have been 45-up. Wife Ann. My great grandfather was William Lloyd born 28, March 1816. He died in Jackson County WV on 3 Feb. 1905. He married Elizabeth. Ridenour 17 Nov. 1859. From my family I was told they were from Wales. I never found Thomas Lloyd after 1820. William was a boatman on the Ohio river. I have a paper from Jackson County Past and prescent in which that tells me the Lloyds came over to Virginia in 1623. I have tryed all I can think of to trace this family. Any ideas?

Hi Sandra,

Have you checked for any Last Wills / probate records filed for that county (or neighboring counties)? It's possible a Last Will would mention a relative and place name. I've had hit & miss success by doing this. A lot depends on how well the records were maintained, or if there was a fire, etc.

Here's a link to FHL microfilm if the index is not on-line:

Meigs County
Court and probate records, 1820-1928; general index, 1824-1972
