75 DAVIS, CRISS, FRANCE, LAYMON, JARVIS, WILOUGHBY, GATES, SINDLINGER, GREENBERG, HENDERSHOT, RUBLE, WINDLAND

My maternal 2nd. great grandfather is Abraham J. DAVIS b. 14 Oct 1830 in Monroe Co., OH, d. 28 Feb 1902 Owen Co., IN, married first Sarah (Sally) CRISS (daughter of Isaac D. CRISS and Susannah FRANCE), married second Mrs. Mary E. LAYMON and had daughter Hazel.
Abraham and Sarah had the following children:
Rachel b. 1857 Owen Co., IN, d. 1892 Owen Co., IN, m. Samuel JARVIS; James b. 1860 Owen Co., IN; John A. b. 1861 Owen Co., IN, d. 1930, married 1885 to Sarah WILOUGHBY; Melinda J. b. 1865 Owen Co., IN; Elmer M. b. 14 April 1867 in Morgan TWP, Owen Co., IN, d. 25 Sept 1937 in Wichita, Sedgwick Co., KS, married 23 March 1895 in Owen Co., IN to Minnie May GATES (my 1st. great grandfather); Ora Belle b. 1868 Owen Co., IN, d. 1940, married 1893 in Owen Co., IN to George SINDLINGER; Susan b. 1871 Owen Co., IN; Thomas b. 1873 Owen Co., IN, d. 1933, married Emma GREENBERG; Selkirk b. 1876 Owen Co., IN, d. 1898; William b. 1879 Owen Co., IN; Lurisa b. 1885 Owen Co., IN; Jane b. Owen Co. IN, d. 1908; married 1889 Owen Co., IN to James HENDERSHOT. There were 3 boys who might have died at an early age. Abraham was a Pvt. in Co. E. 149th. Reg. of the Indiana Inf. during the Civil War.
I am trying to locate the parents of Abraham J. Davis who was born 1830 near Jamestown, Monroe Co., OH. He moved to Owen Co., Indiana in 1851, married and purchased land in 1858. He also received 45 acres of land from George DAVIS (don't know if relative???) for maintenance in 1858. The only promising parent for him in Monroe Co., OH is Abraham DAVIS. This Abraham was on the Ohio Tax lists for 1809 & 1810 in Belmont Co., OH. In 1820 he was on the census records for Belmont County and in 1830 he was in Monroe County. His first wife was Nancy RUBLE and his second wife was Mrs. Sarah WINDLAND. Sarah might have been the mother of Abraham J. DAVIS.

M-66 THURLOW / THURLO / THURLOE / THORLO / THORLA

I am researching the THURLOW surname as a one-name study, alternately spelled THORLA, THURLO, THORLO, THURLOE amongst others. I have tracked one line of this family from Massachusetts and New Hampshire to Ohio in the early 1800s. I have some photocopied extracts from "The History of Noble County" and a limited family tree that refers to a family of THORLAs living at Brookfield, Olive, and Noble Townships in Noble County. A T. M. Thurlow was the Noble County Sheriff in 1905, according to a note and stationary I have signed at Caldwell, Ohio 30 Oct 1905. I believe when the family first arrived in Ohio in the 1810s/20s they may have also lived in Monroe County. The THORLAs also ran a distillery producing Rye Whiskey called 'Old Thorla' at Zanesville.

To my point, I am looking for any genealogy or family history that traces any and/or all THURLOW/THORLAs etc from their arrival in Ohio to the present. With the information I have already collected I may also be of some help to anyone with an interest in this or related families in this region, or anywhere else for that matter. I will gladly share what I have. 10/14/96 David Westonа

M-57 FLEAHMAN, FLEAMAN

John Adam Fleahman left Woodsfield, Ohio and joined Capt Spangler's Co (G), 7th West Virginia Infantry. He was mustered in at Camp Carlile, on Wheeling Island on Nov 18th, 1861. He was designated a 1st Lt. having served previously in the Mexican War(1847-48) He suffered a head wound at the Battle of Antietam and was medically discharged Feb 1 1863. I have what I believe are most of his Federal service records. I would like to access any records of his service as a member of the state militia particularly in reference to the Monroe County militia and its response to Morgan's Raiders.
I have the following reference ......
>From the Woodsfield, Ohio "Spirit of Democracy" newspaper .....
July 22nd, 1863 - Our readers will understand by referring to Governor Todd's proclamation calling out the militia, the reason we do not have a full sheet this week, as our hands are high privates in Capt. Fleaman's (sic)Company, ordered to camp at Marietta. The proclamation gives all the information we have on the subject. So far as we have learned, the Monroe Co. militia will all be at Marietta in the course of the next 3 or 4 days. (The militia was called because because the Governor wanted to capture General John Morgan and his raiders)
My question is ......... Was Capt. Fleaman and 1st Lt. John Adam Fleahman the same person?
Additionally, is the July 22nd, 1863 edition of the "Spirit of Democracy" available to be copied? Please respond by email. Dated 10/7/96 Jim Fleahmanа

M-52 Question on Irish Immigration Patterns in Eastern Ohio

I was hoping someone might share their knowledge on Irish immigrants/immigration patterns in eastern Ohio in the period after the famine (1848 to early 1850s). My ancestor Arthur SHERRY arrived in Bellaire in 1854, according to land records, and I haven't had any luck tracing backwards from there. (I've focused on 1850 Censuses and the Glazer Irish Immigration books thus far.) Any thoughts would be appreciated! Please respond by email. Dated 10/2/96

M-51 MOORE / MOOSE, MELLOTT, PITTMAN

I am researching the MOORE and or MOOSE surnames of Monroe co., but also have records where they lived in Belmont and Noble counties in the mid 1800's. In 1850 Isac and Marcilla MOORE were living in Bealsville, Sunsbury twp. but I find other mention of the MOOSE surname, so I am not certain if the name maybe was misspelled or if they changed the spelling. I believe it is MOORE< as that is my maiden name and I am hunting for my ggrfather Daniel MOORE b. about 1850, son of Isac and Marcilla, I think, he married a Mary LONGLEY and settled in Muskingum CO. Zanesville, OH. He was there until 1912 and is lost from that time on. Also, the Name MELLOTT and PITTMAN seems to be mentioned with this. They have connections to William SMITH of Noble county and to the RUSH name of this area. Believe some to be buried in the Bealsville cem. but I haven't been able to sort it all out. Thanks. Please respond by email. Dated 10/1/96 Linda Moore Garrettа
