According to the 1860 census record for Moses Scroggs Thompson, he was a 31
year old blind farmer. Was he really? It wasn't recorded in the 1870
census. Could someone look at this, please?
He lived in Smithfield Twp. Jefferson County, Ohio, Sheet 181, Line 32.

Ann,
I looked through all the 1812 Grave registration cards (copied from the
originals at the Jefferson County Courthouse) and there was no James FRANCIS
listed as buried in Jefferson County. So, that can mean one of several
things other than the fact that he was not in the 1812 or buried in
Jefferson County...
The LDS this past summer microfilmed the war registration ledgers at the
courthouse. You may want to check
www.familysearch.org and see if those are available for viewing. Another
thing to conside
Some may want to check out the Ohio State Penitentiary for some of our lost ancestors the link is;

Just discovered that William and Margaret gained their US citizenship on
1/9/1896 at Fayette County Court, Union Town, Pa. This date could be one of
two. In UK 1 Sept 1896 or in US 9 Jan 1896. Not sure which one is correct.
Any help greatfully recieved.
Thanks

I have been corresponding with my 82 year old uncle and his wife about my
mother's side of the family. He wrote me this about threshing dinners and
gave me permission to share it with you.
There were threshing day dinners as Thelma remembers. We had fields of wheat
and oats to be threshed...also grew fields of corn and soy beans. These
crops were used to feed our livestock. The neighboring farmers all helped
each other at threshing time (sort of a "threshing circle"), and a man named
Mr. Wells ha
Thought maybe some of the list would like to take a short tour of the library here in Carroll Co since part of our county was taken from Jefferson Co.

Oh and the steam driven threshers disappeared before WWI. In my husband's
time (the time you are talking about) the thresher was hooked up to a tractor
and driven off a long 50 foot belt (pulley).
My husband who is a 78 year old retired farmer remembers threshing very well.
The farmer with the thresher machine was paid about $.05 a bushel. There was
a threshing crew to cut the wheat and bring it to the machine. The
threshing crew was paid $1.50 a day and the owner of the wagon and team of
horses to haul the wheat up to the thresher got $1.50 a day.
The dinner was either usually home grown chicken, ham, or roast, lots of
potatoes, biscuits, gravy. In other words like a big thanksgiving din

Hi,
I recently learned that my ancestor, James Francis, may have served in the War of 1812, while living in Jefferson Co. Is there a resource available that list those serving ? Or can anyone give me info about him? He married Ann Gillespie , and left her with 3 or 4 children to serve. I just need info about him and the War of 1812.

Is there anyone who could look-up the following two
marriages for me? I know these girls lived in
Jefferson County and I am hoping that is where
marriage records for them will be. I'd really like to
get copies of the records and know where they are
located (book, page #, etc). Any help is appreciated
-- glad to cover copies & postage if anyone can do
this.
Thanks!

I am looking for info on this family who resided in Jefferson Co in the
late 1700/early 1800. The only info I have on Brice/Bryce is that he
resided in Warren Twp. Per the 1820 census and appears to have been born
~1775. He also had a son named Samuel (b. ~1809).
Brice/Bryce had a younger brother named Ephraim Fisher (b. ~1785) who
married Catherine Pegg in 1809. He later married her sister Margaret
Pegg.
Ephraim is my ggg grandfather.
Any info AT ALL on this family would be greatly appreciated! T
My ancester, John CARMAN,(1784-1861)is said to have served in the War of
1812, while living in Harford County, MD. He and family then moved to
Jefferson County, shortly after the War, arriving sometime between 1814 and
1817. He then lived the remainder of his life, and died, in Jefferson
County. Would he, therefore, be listed as a veteran of the War in Jefferson
County records?
Any help appreciated
Nancy

In regards to prices going up, I got info from Cuyahoga County last week.
It's not Jefferson, I know, but may give an idea. Looks like prices haven't
been raised in a while.

a list of locations and prices, but there was an added sheet which reads,
