STEEN, SHRIVER

I am trying to locate info about John Steen (born in Ireland on June 11, 1803), who came to Morgan County before 1839. He married Sarah Jane Shriver on Sept. 8, 1842 in Morgan County. They later moved to Noble County. I am trying to find out who his first wife was. They were married before 1839 as that is when their daughter Rachel was born. The first wife may have died in the county between 1839 to 1842. If any of this sounds familiar please get in touch.

SANDS, JOHNSON, HARRISON

Seek information about Joshua SANDS born 1832 probably Morgan County Ohio married to Lucy E. JOHNSON born Sept 1838. Lucy and Joshua were married 18 September 1859 in Morgan County, Ohio. I believe that Joshua was the son of Richard SANDS and Rebecca HARRISON. Joshua was born Ohio, both his parents were born in Maryland. Joshua and Lucy moved to Richland, Vinton County, Ohio. I think Joshua died between 1900 and 1910. Lucy is shown in 1910 census living alone. their children lived in Athens and Vinton Ohio, may have been born in Morgan County, Ohio. George H. Sands born March 1864( married Belle), Elizabeth Sands (married Elmer BIDDISON) Lilly( married HORTON or SANDERS), Joshua R. SANDS ( married Jeanette FULLER) Cora Bell Sands born September 1877 (married Ray O. ZIEGLER)

FOWLER

Seeking info on James T. and Jacob FOWLER. I know that James T. (b.1790) lived in Morgan Co. Ohio in the 1830, 1840 and then moved to Schuyler Co. Illinois around 1850. Jacob (b. 1804) lived next door to James T. in the 1840 census, so is probably a brother. Jacob's 1st wife was possibly Mary Ann Smith, and his 2nd wife was Henrietta Vammeter (m. Feb. 2,1842 in Morgan Co. Ohio). Jacob and family were possibly in Schuyler Co, Ill. in 1830 and in McDonough Co. Ill. in 1860 according to Ill. census. Hope there is someone that might have info on one or both of these men and there families, both ancestors & decendents. Thanks, Charlotte Luster

LONGLEY, SAVAGE

Seeking info on LONGLEY and SAVAGE connections in Morgan County. 1850 census lists a Wildman LONGLEY married to Lavina SAVAGE. They had two sons James and Thomas who were later in Co F, 77th Ohio Infantry. Also is Julia C LONGLEY b. 1844 in Morgan County to William and Sarah LONGLEY. William and family moved after 1853 to Noble Co., Indiana, but Julia C Longley returned in 1868 to marry David H SAVAGE (who also served in Co F, 77th Infantry). It is my belief that William and Wildman LONGLEY were brothers and that David SAVAGE was related to Lavina somehow. I would love to share information with interested parties.

KING, KOONS, ONG, SHOOP

I am attempting to locate information on my gr-gr-grandparents who were the parents of Hannah Elizabeth (KOONS) SHOOP, as well as my gr-gr-gr- grandparents, the parents of Susannah (KING) ONG. Susannah KING, b. 21 Jan 1817, m. Reason (Rezin) ONG 18 Feb 1836. They lived in Unionville, Pattens Mill, Mill Grove, back in Unionville, and Hooksburg, all in MORGAN CO., before moving c. 1873 to Beverly in Washington Co., OH, where they are buried. She died 8 May 1897. Their children, born 1836 to 1863, were Mary, Sarah H., Oliver C., Julian, Maria Louisa, Nathan K., Addison P., Richard B., Edgar M., Susan Emma, and John F. Susannah's father was Solomon KING, and that is all I know about her parents. Would like to know more. My great-grandmother, Hannah Elizabeth KOONS, is my brick wall, as I cannot locate her parents or siblings. She was born in July 1847, possibly in Holmes Co., OH, and was living on a farm near McConnelsville, MORGAN CO., during the Civil War, at which time the farm was a target of Morgan's Raiders. On 18 July 1865, she married James B. SHOOP of MORGAN CO. who had served in Co.B, 62nd OVI in the war. They moved to Amesville, Athens Co., OH, where they had seven children: Fred, Hugh, Nellie, James P., Edyth, Jessie, and William Edgar. They moved to Beverly, Washington Co., probably in the 1890s. Hannah Elizabeth ("Lizzie") died 14 Oct., 1920 and is buried in Beverly. I don't know why the KOONS family is so impossible to locate but will be eternally grateful if someone can identify her parents. Thank you!

CAMPBELL

I found the following in : Family Archive #354 Passenger and Immigration Index, 2000 Edition Robert CAMPBELL. Place: New York. Year:1801. Age:14? Accompanying family members: Child John; Child Robert. Source publication code:5819 Source publication page number:8 Source name:MORGAN COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, OHIO, compiler. Genealogical Extracts from Naturalization Records, Morgan County, Ohio. McConnelsville, Ohio: the society, 1982. 50p. Source: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index. Quesion 1: Can someone verify that this Morgan County record exists? We have a Robert CAMPBELL and a wife, Jane - we think her maiden name was also CAMPBELL. Their son, Robert F. was 1791 and John born 1795. Robert and his family are in Guernsey County before 1809. Question 2: Is there anything in Morgan County records to support or disprove our hope that this is the Robert CAMPBELL of 1809 Gurnesey County. Michael Helms and Haybron Adams have been very helpful and I appreciate it. Regards to the list Hal
