I now know that James W Watt died at age 18 which would have been abound 1843. Long before the civil war. Are you saying that the picture is of James W Watt or James W Trumbull ? Thanks C Watt

Also, check with the Local History and Genealogy Center of the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library (www.wtcpl.org or 330-399-8807). They have books for Mahoning County and I'm pretty sure I saw one of cemeteries in Canfield.

Mary HAMPTON - Joshua COBURN m. 1836 Trumbull

shathaway75 — 2013-04-28 18:03:20Z

Hello:

Please note the Mary HAMPTON who m. Joshua COBURN in 1836 Trumbull County, OH, was NOT Mary HAMPTON (1799 PA), daughter of Moses and Hannah (Van Atta) HAMPTON.

Mary HAMPTON (1822 OH) m. Joshua COBURN. She was the daughter of Thomas HAMPTON, son of Moses and Hannah, and niece of Mary HAMPTON (1799).

Mary (1799) m. John McMAHAN.

I hope this helps clear up confusion about the two Mary HAMPTONs.

There was a will filed in Trumbull County, Ohio in 1844 for Tunis Price. Contact the Trumbull County Ohio Archives for the will and probate.

Re: Marriage Look-up

jesica — 2013-03-25 03:38:20Z

The marriage was not in OH according to Familysearch.org. Try Mercer County, PA. Lots of people from this area skipped over the state line to get married.

Re: Peter S. Cole of Newton Falls

jesica — 2013-03-25 03:26:20Z

There are no Probate Records of any kind for Peter Cole in Trumbull Co. OH nor is there any tombstone for him listed in the Trumbull County Cemetery Tombstone Book. However a Margaret Cole daughter of Peter Cole is listed in the 1882 History of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties by Williams available on Ancestry. She married Henry Taylor and is buried in Newton Falls East Cemetery. See Find a Grave. There is a Peter Cole who died in 1846 who has an estate record in Pickaway Co. OH. Also a Harmon Cole buried in Kinsman Presbyterian Cemetery dates on 1802 to 1856.

Re: Jordan - Bedell

winrtom — 2013-03-17 19:29:04Z

Thank you...

Family records has it that William Bedell & Family moved to Ohio in 1836. I suspect, since the Bedell's and Jordan's are related by marriage, they moved about the same time. Thus, this is why they didn't show in the 1830 Census. Can't explain the 1840 Census though, unless my information (1836) is wrong.

That was very kind of you and appreciated. It's unfortunate that my surviving aunt (Peter Opincar's daughter) never got into the family history so can't help very much. I can understand now how a census taker could write down how names sounded from not-so-clear English as it didn't make much difference at the time since they really only wanted a count.

You have provided more information in a short time than I have been able to discover over the past year or so, so again, thank you.

Re: Girard, Ohio Cemetary

RobertJerin — 2013-03-14 21:38:19Z

Hi Victor

You're very welcome

Keep in mind that Helena had not been in the US very long and she was the informant for the Death Certificate which was written by an American... this is how names changed... no different than Elena becoming Helena.. I happened to be in Girard today on business and stopped at the Liberty Union Cememery. This cemetery is owned by the City of Girard, then went to the City Hall but records prior to 1933 burned in a fire so they could not tell me where his grave was located. They left a message for the guys who cut the grass to see if they recalled seeing his grave.

Re: Jordan - Bedell

thomasker2 — 2013-03-14 20:56:11Z

I’m not related to any member of this family.

Ralph & Abigail Jordan are not listed in 1830/1840 OH census.

William & Margaret (Lepper) Bedell do not appear in the 1830/1840 OH census.

Facts you should know about the early census records –

All census records [1790 – 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female.

NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county; however some census takers listed the township
NO street address was stated
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, or divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]

1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.

Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
Adopted children are not enumerated as “adopted”
Grand children are not enumerated as “grand children”
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"

1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members

1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces and family relationships +++

Re: Girard, Ohio Cemetary

RobertJerin — 2013-03-14 01:18:38Z

Even though Elek died earlier in April they are listed on the 1930 census his occupation was a buffer in tannery

I forgot to mention that on the ship manifest there was info over Elena's occupation column on her manifest which indicates she applied for US Citizens ship at INS District 6 in 1942 that District was Pittsburgh which may have included part of eastern Ohio

I was born in Youngstown with family roots in Girard. My father was adopted by Peter Opincar after a re-marriage to Helen (Elena) Avon (or Evon, or Ivan). Her first husband died in about 1930 and his name (Avon or Ivan or Evon) got lost in the records. And, of course, there are no surviving relatives with the information> I think he's buried in the Girard cemetery. Can anyone in Girard help with this as I am in California?
