The 1850 Lodi Twp, Athens Co, Ohio Census lists the family of a Joseph Frost, lumberman, 60, born 1789-1790 in Massachusetts. His wife was Roda/Rhoda, 48, born 1801-1802 in New York. Their children all born in Ohio were Lucy, Levi, Alva, Clarissa, Elmina, and Orlinda, all born between 1830/1831 and 1843/1844. A family member states that Joseph Frost came from the same family line as the poet Robert Frost. Does anyone know whether Robert Frost's family tree has been assembled? If so, I would appreciate knowing where I could obtain a copy. I could share copies of pictures of Clarissa at various ages and one of a boy Willie Frost, which says he was born in Nelsonvillle, Ohio Feb 19, 1813. I do not know his relationship.

Fanice Frank Mon Sep 29 17:20:37 1997
Looking for my greatgrandfather, Chandler Price TAYLOR. I posted this first under unknown counties but now I think it was either Washington County or Athens County because my father says his grandmother said it was Marietta. He was a Civil War vet, so he was probably born ca 1835-1845. The information I originally had about his birth was that it was in 'Morristown', of which there are or were 3 in Ohio, hence the unknown county. But one of them is in Athens county which is next to Washington, where Marietta is, and my father also recalls her saying it was 'down near the river'. Anyway he was married to Rosetta LUPHER, who was originally from PA. He was her second husband; her first was surnamed GILSON (don't know given name) and her son by that marriage had the given name Morris - presumably related to 'Morristown', so the Gilsons were probably also from Ohio. The TAYLORs had three daughters, Augusta, Eva (b. 1882, who became my grandmother) and Nellie. They were still living in Ohio when Eva was born in 1882, though they eventually returned to Pennsylvania, I don't know when. He is buried in PA. It is a reasonable guess that CHANDLER and PRICE were maiden names of his mother and/or grandmother(s) but I have no evidence of that.

I am researching the descendants of D. Otho Richards, and the descendants of Dominick McFoy, and also the descendants of Sylvester Noland. Sylvester's wife Emily Jane Richards Noland died in Washington County 10-7-1907. Emily was the aunt of John Ellsworth McFoy who married her daughter Carolyn Melissa Noland in Washington County, John was residing in Athens county, Ohio at the time. John and Carolyn had children Georgia Elizabeth and Benjamin F. and John E. McFoy. Also Daniel McFoy the brother of John E. McFoy and son of Dominick McFoy married Clara Oella Hazelrigg in Washington County, Ohio. I am trying to complete a family history for myself and other descendants. It is very confusing sorting through all the interrelated marriages. I would appreciate any information from other researchers, I am willing to share. Sandra Quinn

I am looking for the parents of Mariah Hyde Lattimer, whom was born in Athens, Amesville, on August 19, 1825. I have searched some records and come across a death record with David and Catherine as parents...no last name for the mother. However, searching the LDS library information and came across a Daniel D. Latimer and a Katherine Hyde whom were married on August 17, 1823 in Athens, Amesville, Ohio. Daniel's Middle name could be David and since it was common to give the wife's maiden name as a middle name to the children...possibly this couple could have been Mariah's parents. The marriage place of Daniel and Katherine is the same place as the birth of Mariah....If anyone has information that can help me in my search....please email me at Redhole@aol.com

GRUBB/DRIGGS, Wells Grubb md. Almeda Driggs,4 Aug.1846 at Morgan Co.OH.
No other Driggs or Grubbs were in Morgan Co. at the time. By 1850, Wells
Grub is living in Athens Co.Bern Twp. I believe they moved to Athens to
be near her family "DRIGGS". Almeda Driggs is likely a daughter or
granddaughter of either Seth DRIGGS or George DRIGGS of Athens. Well
Grubb and Almeda Driggs Grubb may be my grt-grt grandparents.
