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.

I have come across many old letters dating back to the 1830s - correspondence between the Lukens and Brown(e) families and others. I have not read all of them yet. The addresses have Morgan County in them. They are fascinating and I am hoping to tie them in to my family names.If anyone has any connection or information to pass along, I'd be most appreciative. I believe Cyrus Brown was born in 1802 (or 1812) in Vermont. There is correspondence from Susan Lukens to Cyrus Brown and from Elizabeth Lukens to Susan Brown (at a later date - perhaps after marriage?)Elizabeth lived in Marlboro and Susan lived in Deaverton in 1848.

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

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.

Any info on facts of case or avasilibility of court records would be appreciated. The time period was late 1860's. The murder was (I think) in the Roxbury area.

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!

Their son, Robert F. was 1791 and John born 1795. Robert and his family are in Guernsey County before 1809.
