| SHEARS |
Seeking
the parents and birth place for Minderd D. SHEARS and his parents. His
first name has many spellings including Mindard/Minard/Myndard/Minder/Mynder
among others. He was born 1786 in New York. (In the 1830 census
he is with his family in Saratoga, Saratoga, New York so, this area is a
possibility.) He is on the Roster of Ohio Soldiers - 27th US Infantry
- War of 1812. He is in Ashtabula County, Ohio most of the time
between 1814 through 1857. He married Martha “Patty” BARTHOLOMEW 23

Alvin Merriam (born December 23,

“died on the 8th day of August 1863 and left a large estate to be
settled which cannot be done without heavy loss to said soldier unless
present.” Alvin was granted a furlough and transportation to Geneva,
Ohio, to settle the estate. I’m trying to identify his parents and other

| SEPPALA/MYLLYMAKI |
I am looking for a marriage record
for my great-grandparents, Liisa Evelina Seppala (Additional spellings are
Lisi or Lusa Eveluna Seppala, but I did also see her referred to as
Elizabeth and later Mary) and Jacob (Jack) Edvard Myllymaki. She was
born in Kuortane, Finland on Feb 20 1874. Jacob was born October 9 1877 in
Vittasaari, Finland. I know they lived on Ohio Ave, Ashtabula, Ohio
for a while and he worked as a railroad car repairer at NYC Railroad.
These are the children that I know about without question: Mattias Tauno
(1899), Mary Tunna (1903), Emma Evelyn (1907), Niles John (1909), Jacob
Evald (1911), Baby Boy Stillborn (1914), Edna E (1915), Vivian E (1917).
I know that there were several other children that had died, but I have not
found good documentation on them to confirm their names and dates. I
should note that many of the family members changed their last name from
Myllymaki to Mackey in the 1930s. My grandpa (Jacob 1911) always told
me about one brother who was killed at a young age in a train car accident.
So, if anyone can help find the marriage record for this couple and
baptismal and/or death records for the known and missing children, I would
be so appreciative. Thank you!

| TODD | I am searching for the family line of Augustus Todd. The 1840 Federal census
reflects Augustus Todd residing in Conneant, Ashtabula, Ohio with 9
household members including himself. My information indicates that Augustus was born in 1808 in New York, married (Arna, Arrua, Arrue) Cole in 1824 and died in Mackinac Michigan in 1873. The only ancestry information I seem to be able to locate indicates that they resided in Buffalo New York and that he was a ship captain on the Great Lakes, having captained the J.G. King and the Owanungah during the 1830's and possibly 1840's. The Mackinac connection is understandable because of his naval history. Ancestry.com trees has only two children of theirs, Henry (1830) and Elizabeth (1829), but my supposed ancestor is Emma Jane Todd (1833) -- which would fit in with the 1840 census and would be a possible match for one of the 7 children.The 1850 census has Augustus Todd in Mackinac Michigan with a wife named Sophia and several children, the oldest of which was 9 (and Henry, Elizabeth and Emma Jane are not among the names listed) and. I am thinking that Arna, Arrua, Arrue died about 1840. Emma Jane Todd would have been 7 years old when Augustus moved to Mackinac around then, but Emma Jane married Rueben McCartney in Huron County in 1850 which would argue against her moving with Augustus to Michigan. I would appreciate any point in the right direction to substantiate any of this. Otherwise I may be barking up the wrong pole.

| MORGAN | I am seeking information regarding John C Morgan, born July 1846 in
Pennsylvania. I have a 1900 census that shows their home in Ashtabula Ward
2, Ashtabula, OH. Spouse was Susan Morgan, born in Ohio or Pennsylvania
in April 1861. Their children were George Morgan born 5/1879; May Morgan
born 5/1882; Belle Morgan born 10/1884; Claud Morgan born 12/1888 and Helen
Morgan born 3/1896. The 1910 Census shows Susan Morgan in Ashtabula Ward 4, Ashtabula, Ohio as widowed with a border of Clint Beckwith (birth about 1878). From research it looks as if Susan Morgan and Clint Beckwith were married sometime between 1910 and 1915 because the City Directory lists them as husband and wife in Ashtabula, Ohio. The 1920 Census shows Susan Morgan and Clint Beckwith as married and I found the city directory for 1926 with Susan Beckwith and Clint Beckwith still in Ashtabula, Ohio. I am unable to find any additional information for John C Morgan. I would like to find a date of death, parents and siblings. According to the census he was born in Pennsylvania with his father's birthplace being Ohio and his mother's New York, but I have no names to go with this information.

| COON/PARKER | I am looking for information regarding the parents and siblings of Harriet Lovina (Louisa?) Coon. Harriet married Eliel Chauncey Parker at Ashtabula 1838. Harriet Coon was born 3 Nov 1819, died in 1857 (Marquette Co then) now Green Lake Co Wisconsin. I have enough information regarding Harriet and Eliel and their descendants, but photographs of Eliel, Harriet and children would be great. PARENTS? My working theory: Harriet's parents may have been Jacob Coon & Louisa Northway (dau of Gaius and Anna). Jacob and Louisa Coon, I estimate they had at least 4 children between 1816-1826 ending in his 1826 Kortright NY death; children being 1-Peter, 2-Harriet?, 3-Margaret, 4-Jacob Jr. After Jacob Sr. death, my theory is widow Louisa and children moved from Kortright NY to Ashtabula in 1832. On 6 Feb 1833 (fact) a Lois Coon married Jesse Markham, no proof that this Lois Coon is my Louisa Coon. The 1984 book "A Genealogical History of the Eliel Chauncey Parker Family" by Edgar R. Barton and Harold U. Cropsey (at Orange County Gen Society, California) says Harriet Coon moved to north east Ohio with her parents (plural) at age 13 (abt 1832-1833). Now that seems to fit well with Lois Coon's 6 Feb 1833 Ashtabula marriage to Jesse Markham, then daughter Nancy born Morgan/Ashtabula about 1836. Jesse Markham was already at Ashtabula in 1830. But what were the names of the parents and siblings of Harriet Lovina Coon? breirather@juno.com | January 2013 |

I would love to have a photo of her stone. I am now in Georgia and it appears that I won't be getting back north excepting by the computer.

| MASON | Im seeking information on the parents of Roswell Mason (also spelled on the
1860 census as Rausel) his birth date varies depending on the document.
1801,1810 and on war pension records 1820. All records state he was born in
New York . War records state Fort Ann Washington County New York. I have
found no records there. He married Hannah St. John in Weathersfield Trumbull
Ohio 16 of December 1837 They had Margaret Elizabeth b. 1845 ( who died in
Warren Trumbull county Ohio 23 June 1921 and married to Wm Mathews.) Mary
Mason dob may have been 1846 or 1847. She married in Wisconsin to Hamilton
Seth Barden( he was born in Ashtabula Ohio) James Calvin Mason born Niles
Ohio 1837 ( died Janesville Wisconsin) Harry born abt. 1859 Ohio, (either
Trumbull or Ashtabula county) I suspect either Abraham Mason born abt 1792
and lived in Andover Ashtabula in 1860 owned land. The other suspect is
Alvin Mason born abt 1786 in Ma. He lived in Andover Ashtabula in 1860.
Spouse may be Polly b. abt 1790 and in Ma. Olive mason is listed in the
house b. abt 1835 NY. Also present on the 1860 census in the same house are
Aldevader Root born 1835 Ohio spouse being Lucinda (is she a mason perhaps?)
son Charlie born probably 1859 Ohio. There appeared to be several Mason
families living in the area born in either Ma. or NY. I have seen records
that show Whitehall NY for birth places of Mason. Which is in the same
county (Washington) as Fort Ann. How do I get the probate records of either Abraham or Alvin? I am not sure they died in Ashtabula. It would make sense given their age. m.masonn@hotmail.com |

| OLMSTEAD |
I am seeking information on Darius and his son Anson Olmstead. I
have not researched in Ashtabula. However I did do research in Delaware
County, New York. In New York this branch of Olmsteads were at
Harpersfield, Davenport and the other small towns nearby. It is east of
the Susquehanna River. In the 1912 Olmstead volume they have Darius
dying at Harpersfield (Township?), Ashtabula, Ohio. I have often
wondered if that might be an error. I suspect he may have died at the
Harpersfield area in New York. When he was 76 years old he sold land
holding in 1826 at Delaware County, New York. Anson the son died on 10
Dec 1863 having been born in Davenport, Delaware County, New York in
1774. He died in Ashtabula, Ohio in 1863. If you personally have not
found info in Ohio on Darius, could you recommend where I could look for
data? Conceivably the early land records would reveal something. Would
they be on file at a County Court House if so were are those records for
the 1830's and earlier? On the Ashtabula web site there are indications
that the early cemeteries for Harpersfield Ohio site are gone. My name
is Eugene (Gene) Eiklor. E Mail address is
geneil@geneseo.net. I am registered as a descendant in the Huron
County, OH genealogy society and maintain my membership there. I also
hold membership in the Olmstead Family Association. I live at 417

| ANDRUS/ANDREW | ANDRUS, ANDREWS (ELDAD, SETH, CLEMENT) Seeking parents of ELDAD ANDRUS b. 1822 OH. Was in Indiana in 1854 when he married and had 3 sons. I have nothing on him except his birth in OH, then have some info from 1854 Indiana on to MO where he died and is buried. We believe he had a brother SETH, several years older, and probably sisters Mary and Rebecca, but not sure on these. Found pension application of CLEMENT ANDRUS who came to OH from CT. The papers dated 1818, list his wife MARY, and children REBECCA, age 10, LYDIA age 7, AMY age 4, SETH age 2, and Sally age 28 days. Could this possibly be ELDAD’s family? He wouldn’t be listed on these papers since he wasn’t born until 1822. This SETH could be his older brother. Eldad and Seth owned land together in Indiana. The family plot in the cemetery where Eldad’s first wife is buried, also has a SETH, Sr; a younger SETH and his wife ELECTA, DAVID, AMY, LYDIA, GEORGE, CHARLES – all spelled ANDRUS or ANDREWS, and also a Pervis Andrews 2 rows from these.

| LINTERN CLOSE GREEN | Fred CLOSE joined his brother Charles (Charley and perhaps Harry) in Orwell in 1897. He worked for Charles on a farm (Charles' farm?) for some period and then drifted as far west as Idaho before returning to England, marrying and then returning to the farm of a LINTERN family in Orwell with his new wife. Their first daughter Margaret was born there in 1904. My mother was born in Howland (Trumbull Co) as was I.In researching the area and the genealogy, it appears that there was a large population of folks from central Somerset England that pioneered Ashtabula. I wonder if nay of your members have knowledge of the Somerset connection and its origin or of the LINTERN, GREEN or CLOSE names in that area.Bob Erskine Williamsburg, VA efr54321@gmail.com | January 2011 Updated 25 Aug 2012 |

| CAUFFIELD/CAUFIELD | I am seeking more information and documents to support an article that was

Caufield) who came from Ireland in the late 1840's to Ashtabula, Ohio. It is
written that he joined a few others, formed a company while in Ashtabula to
travel via ship across Panama and on to San Francisco. We are looking for
that document that he may have recorded in the courthouse forming that
partnership. it supposedly was arranged sometime between 1849 and 1852 . any
information or suggestions of where I might inquire to obtain more
information about this partnership would be appreciated. Also we do have in our possession letters addressed to: Thomas Cauffield Ashtabula, America proving that mail sent in 1860 and 1861 to Thomas Caufield from his parents in Ireland -- did arrive. We can see from the County Atlas's that his son Samuel Thomas Cauffield owned property in Trumbull Co. Near North Bloomfield. We are trying to find the County maps that show the location of Thomas's property in or around the 1850-60's. I have been told that the county of Ashtubula's southern border changed to incorporate the top part of Trumbull Co. or visa versa -- Any history on these dates and if I should be looking at Ashtabula Atlas's instead of Trumbull co. would be helpful. We have found the graves of some relatives in North Bloomfield -- but are still looking for the graves of Thomas and Catherine (Millikin) Cauffield.jcauffield@neo.rr.com |

| WHELPLEY | I am trying to find the parents of Prudence Whelpley. Prudence Whelpley was born (1820 to 1821) in Warrensville, Ohio but she moved with her family to Ashtabula county when she was young. Her father was killed while clearing land, probably in the 1820s or 1830s. Her mother died of cancer probably after her dad died, no date given. Prudence married Danford Smith in 1842 but we have no record of her parents names. Perhaps they owned property in Ashtabula county at sometime and from those records maybe we could find her father’s first name. Prudence’s parents may be buried in one of Ashtabula’s cemeteries. I believe there are records of Whelpleys in Ashtabula county and perhaps there is a relationship there? I have tried with, and am a member of Ancestry.com, but can’t find a connection to Prudence yet. Don Brichford donaldbrichford@comcast.net 801-633-8763 (Utah number) | April 2010 |

I am researching my great great grandfather's family. He was Joshua Smith; his first wife was Roxanna Marvin; his second wife was Mary Tinkham. He and Roxanna had several children. With your previous help I have identified more about their son Elizur. I have also located a family tree about their son Albert. I am still trying to obtain information on their son Albertus and their daughter Eliza. Do you have any marriage or death records on either? Albertus was born abt 1841; Eliza was born May 22, 1847, I believe my last record of her was in the 1870 census where she is staying as a housekeeper in her cousin/uncle Sylvanus Marvin's household. They lived in Andover, but I believe the censuses where Joshua and his family are listed are from Richmond.

| FOWLER WATTS | HELP!! Pls~ Union Co. NC I am trying to find info on or where DELLA FOWLER
McCorkle is. Della Fowler is my G-G-Grand Mother. Della and Mack McCorkle
are the parents of Lydia McCorkle b.Oct 24 1885 as well as Henry Arthur
McCorkle b. June 27 1888. However, Mack McCorkle later married Mattie
King. I know this because of the 1900 Census for Union Co. NC This
census does list Lydia and says she was 14, it also lists Author (probably
spelled wrong) I am guessing Della Fowler possibly had met her demise giving
birth, earlier on with Mack and then after that loss, he went with and
married Mattie. As he (Mack)and Mattie are buried together in the Baptist
Church Cemetery in Union Co. NC - Mack's daughter Lydia (my G-Grand Mother),
is also buried there with (my G-Grand Pa) Wylie Jefferson Watts aka. Jeff
Watts. I have tried to contact Fowler families from many different posts and
whatnots to see if anyone knew/knows anything, but to no avail. This was a
very long time ago all these things took place, and I am sure if in fact she
had met her demise, that is wasn't talked about all that much. There is a
book (I can not afford this book right now) called "A History of the Fowler
Families of the South, Embracing Descendants of John Fowler". This book (on
pg# 135)lists some of Della Fowler's other sisters and brothers as well as
lists her married to Mack McCorkle. Some of her siblings names are Mattie,
Emma, Clifford (which was a sheriff in Union Co. NC for 14 years), and a
brother from another mother, Braxton. I really need help, don't know where

census, William is widowed and there is a family story that says James and
Margarett's daughter, Katherine Osborn (Jonas) would never drive a car as
she was involved in a tragic car wreck that killed someone...could it be the
three persons above ?? James Osborn was a chemist and is listed in the 1900
census for Philadelphia, Pa with his wife Margaret's and two daughters,
Katherine and Onionta. In 1910 Katherine and Onionta are listed as living
with William Jones as his great neice's. No where can Thirza or James and
Margatett be found.Its believed that they were killed. the Jones family is
always listed in the Ashtabula Ohio area. Kaye Jonas 10860 West Mars Road Tucson Arizona 85743 ktjonas@msn.com 520 682-7494. |

| SLOAN | Hello, my Finnish great-grandmother worked in Ashtabula's woolen mills
during the early 1900s. She was the eldest of 14 children and worked in the
mills to help support her family. I am interested in knowing what kind of
work she might have done in the woolen mills, how long her work day might
have been and how much she might have gotten paid. I would also like to see
a photo of the woolen mills, if any exist, and know where they were located.
Her family lived in Ashtabula Harbor. I am not sure how old she was when she
worked in the mills, but she was married by 1916. She was born in 1892, and
the family moved away from Ashtabula Harbor into the Andover and
Williamsfield areas prior to her marriage in 1916. Before the family
relocated to Andover, my great-grandmother also worked in Ashtabula Harbor's
Finnish steam baths giving massages. I am also curious about this work --
how much it paid, how long her work day was etc. etc. Rebecca Sloan. 9185 State Road Kinsman Ohio 44428 rebeccasns@gmail.com 330-876-0907 |

Trying to identify the parents of William
and/or Daniel and Polly BALDWIN William arrived in Salem (Conneaut) in
about 1810 and married Nancy COFFIN in 1814. They produced Caroline and
Hosea Ballou Baldwin (Hosea in 1819). Daniel arrived in 1800 (or 1801)
and married Mary WITHROW. Among their children were Anna, Amanda,
Lydia, Daniel Jr., Diana,Cyrenius, Norman C., and William. William, the
youngest was born in either 1825 or 1828. Polly married James MONTGOMERY
in Schoharie NY in 1796 and arrived in Ashtabula County in 1798. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Already, five of us (BALDWINS)
have gotten a DNA match which means we have common ancestors. At least
four know that they are descended from Baldwins who arrived on the
ship Martin in 1638. Donn Devine

| FORD LOVERIDGE WILLIAMS ATWATER |
Seeking information regarding the family of William B. FORD who was born
in Maine about 1800 and died in Plymouth, Ashtabula, Ohio 25 Mar 1872.
His widow Caroline, and other "heirs" deeded property to Benj. LOVERIDGE
in 1874. These people include Julia (Juliett FORD) WILLIAMS, wife
of Joel WILLIAMS; Caroline (FORD) ATWATER, whom I believe to be William's
daughter, and the widow of Sylvester ATWATER who died a few months
previously in 1873; and my g g grandparents, Eli FORD and his wife Adelia.
I believe Eli was William's nephew; according to Eli's death record
his father's name was Robert, but I can't find him anywhere. In 1870, Eli
and Adelia were living with William and Caroline FORD, as was Joel
and Julia Williams (just who is she?) I've also found a marriage record
for a Mary Ann FORD and George LOVERIDGE, but I don't know how they
might be connected. The 1850 census of Onondaga Co., NY lists Wm. and
Caroline with children Maryann, Susan, Jacob, Ira, Simeon, Caroline,
and James, but I can find no trace of these children otherwise, except for
Caroline. Jacquie BURT, 6583 S. Paintbrush Drive, West Jordan, UT

| GILBERT DICK | Seeking information regarding two images found in an old book. One is an original drawing done by F. M. Gilbert on April 12, 1878 of the residence of M. G. Dick of Division St., Ashtabula, Ohio. The other a print made from this drawing. These are large format pieces measuring approximately 10" x 12" and are in excellent condition. The original drawing of the house has the following words written in pencil on the lower margin: "page 191 of History". The reverse says (also in pencil): "April 12, 1878 The within sketch made by F. M. Gilbert is satisfactory....M. G. Dick" (signature) I am trying to find out if this residence is still in existence and what the original/current address might be as well as who owns it now. I feel that, if the house still stands, then the current owner might want these historical reference items. If the house is gone, then, perhaps, someone in Ashtabula might want them for their historical value. Mark Rotenberg 908-995-4595(NJ) marklee@eclipse.net | June 2003 |
