SURNAMES: KERR, BARD, BEARD, MCMILLIN
LOOKING FOR NEW EMAIL ADDRESS FOR ROBERT MAURICE KERR. The one listed at this time is no longer active. I am also looking for Henry BARD's parents. One of my distant cousins copied some interesting deeds and a will from Columbiana County, Ohio and I have transcribed what I could make out. This one is the most descriptive of the land purchased by Henry BEARD and Winifred his wife: << DEED >> Henry McMillin to Gustavus Hoff (April 21, 1836): To all whom these presents shall come Henry McMillin and Elizabeth his wife of Middleton Township, Columbiana County and State of Ohio send Greeting. Whereas by patent bearing date of the tenth day of August 1813 the President of the United States granted and confirmed the South West quarter of Section twenty-six of Township number seven in the first range of the Steuben-ville district unto a certain Henry Beard his heirs and assigns forever. And whereas by deed bearing date the thirteenth day of May 1815 the said Henry Beard and Winifred his wife consigned and confirmed eighty-three acres of the East part of said quarter section unto a certain Jacob Abraham Beard his heirs and assigns forever. And whereas by will bearing date in the year 1825 the said Jacob Abraham Beard directed his executors therein named after the decease of his wife to divide sixty acres of the land as conveyedto him as aforesaid into equal parts always beginning in East line of said quarter section an! d running a West course to John Beard's line. And in and by said will devised that lot of his said lands where on his house and barn stood to his daughter the above named Elizabeth McMillin and Henry McMillin her husband in fee simple and being the same lot of said sixty acres of land hereby granted. Now know ye that the said Henry McMillin and Elizabeth his wife for and in consideration of the sum of fifty dollars good and lawful money to them in hand paid by Gustavus Hoff of the Township aforesaid .... etc. ---------- I thought that Henry BEARD was Jacob Abraham BEARD's father, but the dates don't match up. Jacob BEARD's first daughter (I believe) is the Elizabeth BEARD mentioned above and she was born about1804. She married Henry MCMILLIN, my G-G-G grandfather on Oct 31 1820 per Columbiana County marriage records. It seems that Henry BARD was probably a brother to Jacob? Have you found any new information on Henry BARD's parents and siblings? I have more information on the BEARDs and MCMILLIN's. Doreen McMillen, Pleasanton, CA

The pension claim of Eleanor Jane (WAUGH) GASKINS, widow of Samuel GASKINS, states that "her mother and the midwife are one and the same person," that midwife being Harriet WAUGH. There is a marriage record for Harriet TROWBRIDGE to Robert WAUGH in Gallia County on 02 Feb 1837, so I am accepting these items as evidence that Eleanor's parents are Robert WAUGH and Harriet TROWBRIDGE. Robert is in the 1840 Gallia census with 2 females in the house who are of an age to be Harriet and their youngest child, born 1837-1838. (Eleanor was born 1840). After 1840...Robert and Harriet vanish, only to reappear in 1853 Mason County WV on the birth records of Jacob Thomas WAUGH (1853), Lemuel WAUGH (1855), and Hesta WAUGH (1856). After that, they are gone again...anybody have a clue where they were between the 1850 Gallia census and the 1853 Mason County birth record of Jacob? Surely more children than just Eleanor in 1840 were born during that 13 years...also, where'd they go after 1856?

He may also have owned title to grants in Hardin Co., KY, as an agent paid taxes for him there in 1810. By 1816, Amos SAVOREE is found as a free black in that same neighborhood as the land claimed by the late John SAVORY of Lyons, France. I feel sure Amos was the slave of John.
