Seeking info on Solomon Courtright, buried Peru Township, Huron County,
Ohio.
Died May 27, 1844.
Thank-you,

Hi Maryanne,

Except for two references, I could find no references to Solomon COURTRIGHT
(and variations), including our Cemetery Inscriptions book. But these two
references appear to have interesting information. They are:

1. Early Estate Index, Huron County, Ohio Court Records, 1812-1852.

Solomon CORTRIGHT/CORTWRITE Estate, Sep 1844.
Sources:

Probate Docket # 1; page 217.
Common Pleas Journal # 8, page 94.
Packet.

You might write Probate Court, Huron County Courthouse, 2 East Main St.,
Norwalk, Ohio 44857 for further details/copies. In 1992, when this Index was
published, the last two documents were described as being held in temporary
storage in the Administration Building Basement, 180 Milan Ave., Norwalk, OH
44857. Alternatively, you could have a volunteer in the Norwalk area try to
dig out these documents. Go to the HCC/OGS home page
(www.rootsweb.com/~ohhuron) and click on "Research done for you" for details.

2. Just Like Old Times, by Henry Timman, published originally in the Norwalk
Reflector newspaper. Book 1, Page 113. Article titled "Norwalk's First
Graduation," dated June 7, 1974.

This article mentions that one of the earliest, largest families that lived
in the Firelands was that of Solomon CARTWRIGHT or CORTWRIGHT, who died in
Peru Township, Huron County, Ohio 27 May 1844 at age 95.

Solomon was born in New Jesey and served in the Continental Army there. He
married Hannah AYRES and came to Peru Township as an old man. Solomon and
Hannah were the parents of three sons and seven daughters.

In 1861, six daughters were still living and gathered June 16th to pay homage
at their father's last resting place. They were (after the name of the
daughter, read number of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, if
any):

Catherine DAVENPORT of Wood Co. (Ohio), age 75. (10, 39 16).

Elizabeth EASTMAN of Wisconsin, age 72. (10, 50, 5).

Hannah VAN SICKLE of Delaware Co. (Ohio), age 70. (12, 48, 1).

Rachel COVERT of Norwalk (Ohio), age 65. (10, 38).

Osey STEPHENS of Fulton Co. (Ohio), age 63. (7, 31), and

Phebe STEPHENS of Delaware Co. (Ohio), age 61. (13, 27).

Regards,

Ken Shute, in MD ().
