Does anyone have any experience with requesting records from the Clinton courthouse? I requested a marriage certificate from 1868 and have not received a response. I enclosed a small check for copying costs and a self-addressed stamped envelope. The request was sent back in July, so I was wondering how long this should normally take.
Thanks,
Kathy
I have made several trips to the courthouse and everyone was so helpful. Wilmington is a beautiful city and the courthouse is spectactular!! I may be prejudice to Clinton Co. because I have so many relatives who lived and are buried there.

Marsha,
In 1920 there is a 8-9 yr old Lester Dixon in the Clinton Co. Children's
Home. I have wondered if he was the last child born to Leslie and Ida. My
mother thinks she remembers hearing the name "Lester" but can't recall in
what context.
The 1910 census shows other Dixons in Union Twp, apparently not far from
Leslie and Ida. There is a Dixon, William? (hard to read) and Mary who are
old enough to be Leslie's parents; the husband's father was born in NC and
his mother in MD.
Of course, this will all
Teddy,
There is a Quaker list, QUAKER-Roots-L@rootsweb.com . I belong to this
and find it very helpful. You will find many people here that have
information on the Dixon family. I have the CD and it has helped me a lot.
I also have two of the Quaker Indiana Abstracts books where I may be able to
find some info for. Dixon is a very a very prominent name in Quaker history
in NC and I am sure if you ask some of your questions on the Quaker list you
will get answers.

You can access The Quaker encyclpedia of genealogy online with a paid
subscription to genealogy.com 's paid library subscription. I highly
reccomend trying this for a month! If you don't like it you are only out
$9.99. I usually hate the sites that charge a fee to access information but
I will no longer live without this one. I stumbled on family books that I
had no idea even existed with information that would have taken me months to
dig up. They don't just have indexes to books there, but entire books
I'd be interested in knowing that as well. We're looking for our connection from Ohio to Ind in the Pearson line. They also were
Quakers.

this link has a bit of information about migration from N.Carolina to Ohio.
A few days ago I came across another site that had much more information,
including maps of common migration routes. I am trying to find it again. If
and when I do I will post it.

I can't let this slam against Ohio go unanswered.
Montgomery County where I live and Van Wert County in which I was born and
visit the courthouses regularly are very helpful in searching for and
receiving copies of records.
If we want to continue receiving support from county courthouses, we should
not circulate such ill-advised comments. Please be courteous.
As for Kathy, you should follow up your request with a copy of your
original, and ask for the status. If you don't receive a satisfactory
response
Madeleine,
I agree with the others about the Quaker connection. Lamb's were part of the Quakers that came from Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in Cane Creek, NC. There was a hugh migration that had to do with both the slavery issue and the promise of land. Many came from Cane Creek to Clinton/Greene Counties in OH to Richmond, Wayne Co., IN. You can check out the Indiana Genweb site, Wayne Co, Richmond, and Earlham College. Earlham has many records for the IN Quakers. Rootsweb also has a Quaker site.

Many of my ancestors - Moore, Pearson, Lamb - migrated to Clinton/Greene

Initially, I thought other family members but have been unable to prove
that. This would be early 1800s.
Thank you.

Have you checked to see if your ancestors were quakers? Mine were and they
went from NC to PA to Ohio and then to Indiana and so on.
It is a thought. Maybe there was a wagon trail or something. I am guessing of
course just trying to throw out some ideas for you.

Thanks to all who replied!
Don, I'll follow up my original request as suggested and if I don't have any
luck will contact you directly. I should mention that the check I enclosed
with the request hasn't been cashed, so it's quite possible that the request
got lost or misplaced.
Thanks again. I appreciate the help,
Kathy

Does anyone else have this CD? I am looking for the family of Leslie DIXON, b. 18 Feb 1880. I find him listed as a boarder in the household of Parker BOBBETT in Clinton Co. on the 1900 census, and by 1910 he is married to Ida RUBY.
The 1880 census wasn't taken until June, of course, so I can't find identify his family that way, although
I am researching the lines of Joseph R. Camp (b.8/06/1808, NJ) and his wife,
Mary Ann Brown (b.Abt. 1815, PA) who were married (m.1/14/1836) and lived in
Clinton County, Ohio in the early to mid 1800's. In the mid 1850's Joseph &
Mary Ann moved with their family to Hancock County, Indiana. Their children
were: Nancy A., William, Betsy, Nicodemus, Abigail & John H.

County? A family story has it that my gggrandmother, Elexina Wikle Barks,

Hello List Members!
I have just found in aome 15 yr old notes, the name of my g g grandfather,
Jacob Lair (aka Jacob Laire).
I have not been able to find him in the 1860 census in Scioto Co., OH, where
he lived in later census's.
I tried contacting a census look up volunteer listed on the Clinton Co., OH
US Gen Web website, but the
request was returned to me as user unknown.
I am so excited, I wonder if anyone out there could do a possible look up
for me,to see if this is MY missing Jacob Lair?

Back in 1976 the title office was in the court house and was just a small
office,but since 1976 Clinton County has grown and many changes has taken
place, they now have a nice big office out on Rombach and I have yet to wait
very long when I have to go out there. Clinton County is a nice place, I was
born and raised here, and Kathy, if no reply on your request, please contact
me and i will see if i can help you, as i live not 15 minutes from the
Clinton County court house, Thanks Deb
