I am wondering if the people researching Matthew Quinn of Greene Co. OH have
run into James Downey who named his son Harvey Quinn Downey? I have the Downey
family pretty straight but am looking for Elenor Jane McDorman who married
James as a second wife in 1841 in Greene Co. She was born in OH so her parents
might have come from Scotts Co. KY with the Downey and Quinn families? I
thought maybe the Quinn family had ties to the McDorman family? Or there might be a
reference to McDorman in some of your r
Linda,
It would depend on the time period. I've seen some items in the Washington
C.H. paper about the Jeffersonville or Jamestown area. Sometimes columns
with the name of the community. More prevalent in the early 1900s. There are
very few newspapers extant for pre-1850 in Fayette County and I'm
abstracting them. You might find items in Washington C.H. for the late 1800s
but they would have to have been major events. Sometimes the local paper
didn't even bother with obits for residents and this was as lat
Hello!
Could anyone help me in finding out where or how I could obtain a death redord for Ernest REEVES, of Xenia, Ohio? I am doing research for a coworker of mine who recently discovered that this gentlemen was her biological grandfather. We estimate that ERNEST was born between 1905 and 1910, married a Lara Mabel PLANK AROUND 1929 or 1930, and then gave birth to my friend's father approximately 1930.
Any information you could send me would be greatly appreciated as my friende is trying to obtain any per

Yes , you do make a great point about the methods of the census takers in
the early days, especially traveling across the spreadout farm lands.
Here's a thought ,picture if you will , starting with the men in Greene Co
(or take your pick of wherever), that fought in the Rev.War ,got paid in
land in the area. Okay lets use my Jacob COY as the example, he received
3000 acres of land in 1802. He brought his whole family of nearly grown
children & spouses,and a few of the spouses brought their parents or

Why what else do we have to do but genealogy? I have been bitten and bad by
the genealogy and census bug. Of course it may be the wonderful people who are
also bitten by this bug and really like to share with each other that keep me
going back over and over to the census pages! I hope that the kindness and
warmth will continue with all on the rootsweb. Linda

As there are no addresses on the households (only a number) for the early
censuses I have an odd question...
In town, I'm thinking the censes takers probably went up and down the street,
as in up one side and down the other, but when they were taking the census
in the country they would go back and forth across the road as the households
would be fewer and farther between meaning it won't be an economical use of
time etc to do one side and then the other (as in up and down like in town)
As I've not done t

Maybe. But a generation or two earlier.
I have Susan Krice ( 1805 - 1885 ) married abt 1825 to Peter Engle in
Frederick County, Maryland. They moved to Greene County abt 1850 and there; he on 3
Oct 1880 and she on 15 Dec 1885. Buried Aley Cemetery.
I don't know Susan's parents ... and so I don't know if they ever came West

Linda,
Maybe the house numbers were changed. I know house numbers were changed in
Xenia (in the 1950s I think). The library in Xenia has a photocopy of the
house numbers before and after the change. One needs to use this book if
working with the directories and probably a good idea for census.

It is amazing how names can be spelled in the census. I had trouble with
my Bohemian branch of our family. The father's name, Vit Payer showed up
in different ways. I had to do a line by line search of the census taken
in Winneshiek county, IA. I came up with the best possible scenario, but
it still has to be collaborated.
To track the family, you have to look at the children. When Vit married
Mary Lukesh- Brodsky, she had a son Louis (Lewis) Brodsky. Louis was
adopted by Vit but kept the Brodsky na
I agree with Connie - that must be how the Coy and Swaney got together
through the Real connection! I can't believe I actually made a joke at 6:56am! But
all kidding aside, is there an actually rule of thumb about the numbering. They
have a structure or farm number and also a visit number but if you compare
the structure or farm number in later or early years, whichever, they cannot be
matched up. I am talking about Longview in Beavercreek. I have driven up and
down that street which is an old one for

I have just noticed that the Dayton Daily News is printing or owns the
Springfield newspaper, which made me wonder about newspapers of the 1800s in the
area. I know about the Sidney paper where my g..grandfather, William Nisbet
McNutt, worked for a time and the Bellbrook and Xenia papers. But would Greene Co.
over on the eastern edge be covered by any paper in Ross Co. or Washington
Court House? I know that in this country we had many small papers spring up and
it would be great to find the records in
Bill,
I guess the old saying goes, the data is only as accurate as the person
giving the data, since no one had to really keep written records of the
people so long ago. Birth records didn't;t happen until after 1860 in most
states, and even death records same.
My brother and I often play the game of "What was the census taker
thinking,and how did they go farm to farm to record info.
It seems that most Census were recorded in the summer months, and it took
many months for the Census taker to go to every hom
Thank you for the response. I think that you are right about the tracking
first name. It is repeated over and over. That has come in handy with some of my

But yell if you see any interesting data on surnames like Folkerth,
