I am new to the Eastern Ohio Rootsweb Bulletin Boards so I am sending
some information on my ancestors from that area in hopes I will from
others that are interested in these surnames.

Query for Belmont, Guernsey and Noble Counties, Ohio: Several of my
ancestors lived, died and/or moved on (mostly to Richland/Jasper
Counties, Illinois) in the late 1790s and through 1850s in these three
eastern Ohio Counties. They include the following:

BELMONT CO:
PHILIPS, EVAN born abt 1760 (probably Wales); died abt Jan 1824 Belmont
Co and his Wife JANE UNKNOWN died abt June 1825 Belmont Co. Main
question is what are their ancestors and where were the born and
married?

BROTHERS, JOHN born before 1763 (Maryland/Pennsylvania?); died between
1843 and 1850 in Belmont Co. His wife was Mary Hedge of which I know
almost nothing.

MCWILLIAMS, GEORGE born abt 1764 in Scotland (Isle of Skye?); died ? in
Guernsey Co and his wife MARGARET MCCOY born in Ireland; also died in
Guernsey Co. Two of their daughters, Hannah and Elizabeth married Evan
Philips twin sons David Philips and Enoch Philips in Belmont Co.

GUERNSEY COUNTY:
PHILIPS, DAVID: Born 22 Oct, 1786 (probably Ohio Co, WV (Frontier
Virginia then)); Died 1838 in Guernsey Co and his wife ELIZABETH
MCWILLIAMS: Born 1794 (possibly Pennsylvania or Ohio); Died 1848 in
Guernsey Co.

Their son PHILIPS, EVAN: born abt 1821 in Guernsey Co; died Oct, 1877 in
Richland Co, Il and his wife NANCY BROTHERS: born February 1826 in what
is now Noble Co (Sarahsville); died Dec 1866 in Richland Co, Il. I have
never been able to find their marriage information or Evans birth date.

DAVID AND ELIZABETH PHILIPS daughter MARGARET PHILIPS: Born abt 1816 in
Belmont or Guernsey Co; died unknown; married Nov, 1838 in Guernsey Co
to EDWARD B CARSON; Born abt 1818 in Pennsylvania; died unknown. They
also moved to Richland Co, Il about 1852, but I have not found them
after 1860. I do not know who Edwards parents were. I suspect without
proof that his mother was Mary A Carson a widow in the 1830 who married
Eli Baldwin about 1833 in Belmont Co.

HARVEY, WASHINGTON; Born abt 1811 in NH; died unknown; married Feb, 1833
in Guernsey Co to Susan CARTER: Born abt 1811 in Va; died unknown. I
do not know either of their parents. I suspect Sarahs mother was the
widow Sarah Carter, the only Carter in Guernsey Co in 1830. Sarah
married Joseph Taylor in Guernsey in 1831. Washingtons father might be
Thomas Harvey.

GALLOWAY, SAMUEL and MARGARET JANE HARVEY married in Guernsey Co in 1857
and almost immediately moved to Jasper Co, Il. Their parents were Enoch
Galloway Sr and Ester Cole and Washington Harvey and Susan Carter.

NOBLE COUNTY:

BROTHERS, WILLIAM (AND HIS CHILDREN NANCY AND GUSTAVUS BROTHERS): Born
Sept 1802 in Pa; died 1870-1880 in Il and his wife ELIZABETH MORRISON:
Born Mar, 1805; died Jun 1893 in Anna, Il.

Any information on these families and/or contact with other descendants
would be appreciated.
