Date Posted: 1 September 2002

I have been told that where the Seceder Cemetery is in Mt. Pleasant, my grandmother perhaps thrice removed dwelt in a little cabin with her husband who was a white man. She would not sit in chair or sleep in a bed, but sat on the floor in front of the fire. Now I wish I would have listened more attentively to my elders. I have been asking about, but the history of names etc. probably will remain a mystery.

My paternal grandfather was born in Steubenville on November 2,1880. His name was James Day Stone. He left as a young adult and eventually ended up in Medford, Oregon where he died in 1968. I know nothing about his family except that most stayed in Ohio. I would love to get a copy of his birth certificate to see his parents names can you help me with this? I recently retired and have more time but I got this idea after watching a show about Dean Martin the singer who I am sure you know was from Steubenville. He would hardly be a contemporary of my grandfathers but just looking at the pictures of the town made me think about him. I know very little about his family and would love to know more but I don't know where to start. Thanks for your time. Puyallup (near Seattle) Wa.

Surnames: MINGO

Date Posted: 29 April 2002

I am trying to find out when my Great Grandfather came to America. I had searched ellisisland.org with no luck. I believe he may have worked in an iron mill in Mingo Junction. Here's what I know, Jan. 1915 he marry's my Great Grandmother in Beaver Pa. She had arrived in April 1914. On the license he put iron worker and I know that her brother lived in Mingo. I've done research in Beaver county and cannot find anything in the census or other records so I have no information prior to Jan 1915. I'm guessing that maybe since they got married so fast her brother introduced them? I do know that he worked for J&L so maybe they transfered him to Pa after they acquired the Mingo plant? So I guess what I am wondering is how can I see if he lived in Mingo and will I be able to narrow a date he arrived? Thanks for your help and time.

I am writing in request of information on a book. History of Jefferson and Belmont Counties, Ohio--By: J.A. Caldwell. I have been searching and searching for a copy of this book. I actually did find one on the net, but the cost of it was $180.00 and I think that is a bit much to pay for a book. I was talking with a young lady and she said she found one at a GenExpo for $100.00 she said she considered herself lucky to find it. I really would like to have a copy of this book, because it contains information about my family.
Would you have any information on where I could get a copy or has the Jefferson County Genealogical Scoiety considered doing a reprint of this book.
I would really appreciate your help with this book.

My 4-greats grandfather was JOHN KEEVER, who came to Jefferson County, Ohio, about 1801. Am seeking the name and death date and burial location of his first wife, who bore him five children--MARY, SUSANA, JACOB, WILLIAM, ELIZABETH. She must have died between 1807 when Elizabeth was born and Sept.1813 when he married MARY (nickname Polly) ROBY. Mary Roby bore him 4 more children in Jefferson County--JOSEPH, CATHARINE, MARTHA M., SARAH--before they moved to Morgan County, Ohio, in 1836. They lived in northern Warren Twp., which later became Wells Twp. Lived near Flemings and Medills (and sold their land to them when they left). An 1870s Jefferson County plat map still listed their former land as Keever Hill Farm.

John's family by his first wife married into the following other Jefferson Co. families: WATSON, HOAGLAND, KING, SMITH.

I am attempting to put together a comprehensive family tree as a birthday gift to my mother. I have very limited resources to work with as I currently live in North Carolina. As a result, I was wondering if you or any of your colleagues performs research for a fee. I am most interested in working back "vertically" as opposed to "horizontal" relationships and, of course, would forward all information that I currently have.

My grandmother was born in Clinton, OH (Summit County) and my grandfather was born in Dillonvale, OH (Jefferson County). My grandmother's parents were from Comet, OH and Crystal Springs, OH which I have not been able to find on the map. My guess is that they are old communities which were merged into present day towns. My grandfather's parents were immigrants who to the best of my knowledge lived in the Dillonvale, OH area. I hope this helps.

My great grandfather's death certificate says that he was born in Mingo Junction, Ohio. His parents immigrated to the US in 1893 from Hungary (their ethnicity was slovak). They later settled in Guernsey County where his father was a coal miner. First, was there any coal mines in the area at this time period? Second, they were devote Lutherans so I was wondering if your could tell me if their are any Lutheran churches in the area that might contain birth records. I know that the church played an important role in their lives.

Thank you for your help.

Recently at a meeting of the Mahoning Valley Civil War Round Table here in Youngstown our speaker mentioned an individual from Ohio who went south and eventually became a Confederate General. He said the man was born here, but when I looked on the web the site said it was really Steubenville.

The name is Robert Hopkins Hatton and he was born Nov 2, 1826. Have you any knowledge of him? He supposedly moved to Tennessee with his family before the war and eventually became Colonel of the 7th Tennessee regiment. He became a Brigadier General in May of 1862 but was killed 8 days later at the Battle of Seven Pines.

Any information will be helpful.

Surnames: CARREL
Researcher: Eric Olson
Email:[email protected]
Date Posted: 29 August 2001

Philip and Mary CARREL arrived in Jefferson County, Ohio from western Pennsylvania sometime between 1806 and 1812. By 1813 they had nine children who were John (born 1798), Mary (1801), Margaret (1802), Joseph (1804), Anthony Wayne (1806), Catherine (1807), Henry (1809), Jane (1811) and Philip Jr. (1813). Philip Carrel was killed on December 10, 1813 while in the Service of the United States (War of 1812). He died intestate and left no Will, and in 1814 his widow Mary relinquished her right to be Administrator of his Estate, whereupon the Court of Common Pleas appointed Ephraim Cellars as Administrator and John Wolf and several others as Appraisers.

When Philip died in 1813 one of his sons, Anthony Wayne Carrel, who was 7-years old, was "bound out" to a tradesman and taken out of the county, probably to Licking County, Ohio where he was raised and later married Miss Balinda Root in 1826. The other eight children apparently remained with their mother until her death in 1818, since the court appointed James Terrence as guardian for the five oldest Carrel children in 1818 and 1819.

The five were John, Mary, Margaret, Joseph and Catherine. Whatever happened to the three youngest children who were Henry, Jane and Philip Jr. is not known.

Anthony Wayne Carrel and Balinda Root raised eight children of their own in Licking County, and they are my ancestors. After the 7-year old Anthony was separated from his brothers and sisters in 1813/1814 and taken out of the county, there was apparently never any further contact between them, as Anthony never spoke of his brothers and sisters, nor even apparently knew their names. He did remember his parent's names however and named his first daughter Mary and his first son Philip, and he remembered that he was born February 20, 1806 in western Pennsylvania. It may also be that his eight brothers and sisters never remembered or knew his name.

The above information concerning siblings was unearthed in May, 2001 from documents found at the Courthouse in Steubenville. I am seeking any information about the children of Philip and Mary Carrel who may have remained and been raised in Jefferson County, Ohio and who are the lost brothers and sisters of Anthony Wayne Carrel. Thank you!
