Ohio STATE AND REGIONAL RECORDS:
YOGSO STRG 3: BANKS OF THE WABASH.
BY Robert V. Van Trees. Revised 2002. 300 pages, 5 ¼" by 8 ¼",
laminated covers. Price: $15. In early November of 1791, Major
General Arthur St. Clair led an ill-equipped and untrained army north
from Fort Washington against the troublesome Indians of the vast
Northwest of the River Ohio Territory (now the states of OH, IN, IL, MI
and WI), which had been created by the Ordinance whose Bicentennial
milestone was celebrated in 1987. This controversial officer's tragic
defeat along the banks of the Wabash River prompted a Congressional
investigation [Those aren't new either!]-the first in the history of
the United States. The dead are victims of a peace process which
failed and the characters of this book, many whose mortal remains are
mixed with the soil where Fort Recovery now stands, are real people
whose sacrifices helped shape the destiny of the westward march of
civilization. Liberally sprinkled with facts concerning the historic
Ordinance of 1787 which were discovered in the author's above Book 1,
this book provides factual insight into their trials and tribulations
and those of General St. Clair, who led hundreds to their deaths. The
author at this time was a resident of Fort Recovery, a retired U.S.A.F.
officer who devoted much time over a quarter of a century to his study
of historical facts concerning the two battles which took place along
the Banks of the Wabash River where the author spent the early years of
his life. Detailed genealogical research concerning the Swearingen
family and Blue Jacket led him to conclude the Shawnee War Chief was
NOT a captured white youth named Marmaduke Swearingen. DNA tests
conducted at Wright State University in 2000 supported his conclusion.
All genealogists with roots in this five state area will want to read
and digest the historical facts, the personnel lists, newspaper
clippings and detailed index in this book. Bibliography has grown to
78 titles. Index pp. 281 to 300 lists men and units that are buried in
Fort Recovery's burial ground. Hundreds of our ancestors were lost in
those two bitter battles. Some of them may have been yours.
Genealogical charting of the Van Swearingen family is included in this
book. Also included are the lists of the Kentucky Militia, over 300 in
number, most of whom were killed in action in October and November of
1791. Lots of names in the index. Price $15 -- Sold out - Currently on order

LISTINGS: FFOH STRG 4: D031 ABSTRACTS AND EXTRACTS OF THE LEGISLATIVE
ACTS AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE STATE OF OHIO: 1803-1821. By Mary
L. Bowman, Published by the Ohio Genealogical Society, ©1994. These
are the very first Sessions of this state of Ohio first organized in
1803. These motions and designs of this brand new state, going through
the War of 1812 and on to recovery are important. They have been
carefully abstracted by the author, who has done other works for the
benefit of today's genealogists. She has thoughtfully provided an
every-name index. Look carefully for your Ohio surnames. He may have
written a law, proposed a change, argued for change, been mentioned as
a Road Commissioner, paid for a bill from the state, submitted a bill
and payment was authorized, sold them some chairs, elected a Justice of
the Peace, made an official name change, so many more names scattered
throughout for thousands of reasons! In the Personal Name Index the
following surnames have at least five or more lines: Abbot/t 5, Adam/s

YOGSOH STRG 5: OHIO GENEALOGICAL RESOURCES.
By Charles M. Franklin. Published by YOGS, 1997. 25 pages, wrapper
style cardstock covers 8½" by 11". Ray and I asked Charles Franklin to
do this book, that quickly became a set of books, on the basic sources
of genealogical and historical information. He put together these
books to assist all genealogists who needed an inexpensive book to go
to when they can not think of who else to ask. This book is his OHIO
effort. He gives a brief history of the state, some guidance on
religion in Ohio, Vital records kept, Census records available and tax
lists. He has comments on Probate Records, land and property records,
military records, divorce records, and naturalization records. He has
an extensive list of 138 Archives and Libraries, a quick phone call
could establish current addresses, in indeed, they have changed at all!
He
has a list of over 320 Genealogical and Historical Societies on 8 ½" BY
11" pages, many of these change addresses yearly with new elections of
officers. Check online (website) or by phone (information). A call to
the local librarian MAY get this information.
A list of over 150
periodicals (almost 6 pages) published by individuals and societies may
put you in touch with other relatives that did not move when your
ancestors did! Then there is a list of the year of formation of every
Ohio County plus its parent county. Addresses and phone numbers are
given. (3 pages) They may be dated, but the Post Office will know
where the Courthouse is! If you want to get in touch with someone this
is a quick guide to use. Multiple copies of this book are available.
Special price for NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS is $5 for 25 pages of help.
[NOTE: If you like this one, we also have similar ones for Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Multiple
copies of each of these books are available. Special price is $5 for
however many pages of help each one has in it. They vary slightly from
state-to-state.]

*NEW LISTINGS: FFOHSTRG 9: B274: CENTRAL OHIO LOCAL GOVERNMENT RECORDS AT THE OHIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Compiled by Karen L. Matusoff of the Archives-Manuscripts Division of
the Ohio Historical Society, © 1978. 38 pages, 8.5 by 11", wrappers,
stapled. PRICE $7. This book was designed to list the records which
are maintained at the Historical Society Library in Columbus, Ohio, for
the benefit of your ease of access for all genealogists. The counties
covered in this edition in detail are Ashland, Cuyahoga, Delaware,
Fairfield, Fayette, Franklin, Knox, Licking, Madison, Marion, Morrow,
Pickaway and Union. Separately listed are the records maintained at
the library that are on microfilm. Also attached to the book is a
magazine article titled Court Records Now Available to Researchers
which informs us that Records of the Superior Court of Franklin County
(Columbus), 1857-1865, which covers the Civil War period, are now
accessible to researchers. If your ancestors came from the above list
of counties, it may be to your advantage to access them in a general
library setting rather than at the courthouse. The records are sorted
by the name of the office which would normally hold them. You would
want to know the type of record you need and the dates involved to be
sure that you are going to the correct location of these original
records. PRICE $7

LISTINGS: FFOH STRG 11: B299. INDEX TO THE MICROFILM EDITION OF
GENEALOGICAL DATA RELATING TO WOMEN IN THE WESTERN RESERVE BEFORE 1840.
By the Genealogical Committee of the Western Reserve Historical
Society. Prepared by the Genealogical Committee of the Western Reserve
Historical Society, Cleveland, Ohio, 1976. 226 pages, 8.5 by 11
inches, hardbound, indexed. PRICE $40. The first permanent settlement
in the Western Reserve, an area in Northeastern Ohio larger than
Connecticut, was established at the site of the present city of
Cleveland in 1796. This information was collected by the Women'
Department and it is of considerable genealogical interest. All of it
relates to women who came to Ohio prior to 1850, but part of it relates
only to women who came before 1840. It falls into two distinct
categories: biographical data which relates to thousands of women; and
"Vital Statistics" which relates to tens of thousands of women. All
parts of the original printings of the five volumes of data were
out-of-print when this book was published. The five parts, numbered
continuously from 1 to 1,140 indicate the thoroughness of this
project. The vital statistics were to follow a standard format.
Column 1 was Married Name, column 2 was Maiden Name, column 3 was Year
Came to Township, column 4 was Where From, and column 5 was Last
Residence, so the actual entry for each of these women would look like
this: Married name Mrs. John Ray: Maiden name Lois Hill: Year came
to Township 1803: Where from Groton, Connecticut: Last Residence
Milan, Ohio. There were 216 townships whose records are included in
this project, each 25 miles square. These include the counties of Erie
(6 twps.), Huron (11 twps.) on the west side reading south, Lorain (15
twps), townships of Ashland (the township of Ruggles) and Medina (10
twps.) next to them, Cuyahoga (11 twps.) and Summit (12 twps.) to the
east of them, Lake (7 twps.), Geauga (14 twps.) and Portage (16 twps.)
in the next column and Ashtabula (18 twps.), Trumbull (12 twps.) and 5
townships of Mahoning. This is an index only. The records,
themselves, are still available and directions are given as to where to
write for them. There are 70+ names per column. There are five
columns per page. And there are 226 pages! At 350+ times 226 pages,
that equals almost 79,000 women living in those townships between 1840
and 1850. Surely some of them will be yours! All for women already
married by 1840! The above information can be obtained for any of the
women listed in this index volume. The previous owner of this book has
included a printed list of the 216 townships, sorted by county, stapled
in at the back of the book. (most helpful when using the map to orient
them to your ancestor's part of Ohio). There is no feasible way to
extract the number of entries that would be required to do an extract
of the index which is this book. No information is included in this
book, but the index of names is there, and the information would be
well worth a letter to the society to get the information! It is very
difficult to find this much data for women's names, especially maiden
names, if they were married prior to 1840. You would get the married
name and her maiden name for any of these! Price: $40.
