I'm looking for information on Platoff MCNEELY. Married Angeline LASH. One child Platti McNeely, born Bridgeport, Ohio, Aug. ll, l858. (Platti McNeely Sheriff was my grandmother, and I have lots of info on the Lash side, but nothing on Platoff McNeely other than fact he probably was born in Bridgeport and died there in spring of l858. Latterday Saints records show a Platoff McNeely born Bridgeport, l83l. Ohio Militia records include a Platoff H. McNeely, Company D, June l846 enrolled at St. Clairsville. If this is the same one he would have only been l5 years old. I don't even know for certain that he died in l858, other than family story that he died 3 months before birth of Platti McNeely.

LYNE, WILSON posted by Cindy Courtier on Monday, January 22, 2001

I�m looking for the nine children of Josiah Wilson and Phoebe Durnal who were �bound out� to families in Belmont County, most possibly in the Boston and Somerset Township areas in 1856 or 1857. According to a history written by a descendant of one of the children, �His (John Wesley Wilson�s) mother died when he was fourteen years old, leaving nine motherless children, of which my father was the oldest but one. All these nine children were �bound out� after their mother�s death; that is they were placed around among the neighbors with such families as would take them and they were bound to service until 21 years of age. Fortunately my father was bound out to a fine old man who lived near Boston (Jimmy Lyne), and he remained with him until the fall of 1861.� The father referred to is John Wesley Wilson, b. Sept 1840 who served in the 30th Ohio Volunteer Infantry and married Caroline Virginia Atkinson in Feb 1866. I would very much appreciate hearing from anyone who can tell me more about �bound out� children, where records for them might be located, or anyone who knows of Wilson children born between 1855 and 1838 who were bound out to families in Belmont County.
