Would someone be willing to do a look up for me? My cousin, Dora May CRITES HILL and her husband, Fleming T Hill had child while living in Willard during the 1920's. This child either died shortly after birth or was stillborn. I do not know the date of birth nor the sex of the child. From the Ohio Death Index, I have several candidates They are- Hill, Unnamed, d. 10/18/1926; Hill, Leslie S, d. 9/28/1926; Hill, John J, d. 9/13/1924; Hill, Freda d. 10/6/1924; Hill, Ernest d. 9/4/1926. One would guess that the "Unnamed Hill" is the best bet.

I was wondering how much information is on the 1850s Marriage Certificates. I would like to know if you have copies of Matthew McKelvy STARR and Loviah ARTHUR, 27 Sep 1855; Homer ASHLEY and Jane Elizabeth STARR, 27 Jan 1854; James LONG and Clara (Clarinda) Huldah STARR, 1 Jan 1856.

Deborah Orth Look Up Results-- We have two of the three marriage certificates that you requested. There isn't much information in them. The application for Homer ASHLEY and Jane STARR just lists their names and that they applied on 17 Jan 1854. The certificate is just the minister saying that he "solemnized the marriage" on 28 Jan 1854. His name is A. K. Barr and he is a Presbyterian Minister. For Matthew STARR and Loviah ARTHUR, there isn't a whole lot more. By then, it was changed to an actual fill in form that the minister, a "Minister of the Gospel", filled in for them. It says that they were married on 27 Sep 1855 in Greenfield. I can't read the ministers name, but it looks like Enoch Canyon(?).

I am looking for any information or clues about Julius C. BEMENT who lived in Huron Co, Ohio. He apparently married Charlotte M. JOHNSON, July 2, 1857 from the LDS page. I am wondering if he could be the same Julius C. BEMENT I have looked for several years, to see where he died & lived the last few years of his life. My GGG Grandfather was named Julius C. BEMENT, born about 1813 in New York. He was the son of John BEMENT & Betsey HITCHCOCK. John BEMENT was a shoe/boot maker, with a patent held by himself & is wife's brother, Samuel HITCHCOCK. He was also a farmer, first in Cortlandville, NY, where the family lived in 1820, then in Genoa, Seneca Co, NY. Julius BEMENT married Sarah DARLING BEMENT, about 1840, in Groton, Tompkins Co, New York & they had the following children: Reuben born 1841, Frances born 1845 (my GG Grandmother), Edward Payson born 1848, Sarah Emmaline born 1850, and William Payson born 1853. Julius is shown with is family in the 1850 census in Skaneateles area of New York, with his occupation listed as "None". He is not seen again on census. Julius' brother, Jeremy, was a carriage maker, & both Jeremy & Julius have children buried in the Seneca NY cemetery, so it's possible he worked for his brother. His brother moved to Michigan in 1849 & died there shortly afterwards. Julius' wife, Sarah, is living alone with the 2 youngest children in 1860, "Divorced by the Laws of the State of New York" in Groton, Tompkins NY, near where her father Reuben DARLING lived & also near the families of two brother, Lyman & Edward DARLING. Her daughter, Frances, is living with the family of her future husband Thomas DARBY "going to school" & son Edward P is apparently an apprentice to a blacksmith in Scipio NY. Oldest son, Reuben, is not seen anywhere in 1860 census, neither is ex-husband, Julius BEMENT, that we can find. Sarah DARLING BEMENT is seen again in 1865 living with all her children including son, Reuben BEMENT, born 1841, listed as a tailor, in Groton, New York, now Sarah is listed as a widow. Son, Ed, was trained as a Blacksmith & entered the Civil War from Tompkins Co, NY in 1862. He lists himself only as son of Sarah BEMENT at his enlistment. After the 1865 census, where oldest son, Reuben, is listed as a 23 year old tailor in Groton, Reuben is never seen again on any census that we can find, & at her death he is not listed as a survivor. Julius, her husband from whom she is apparently divorced, has not been seen on census since 1850, but because their youngest child, William was born either 1853 which is more likely, or 1856, we know Julius must have still been around at that time. Sarah & all but Ed of her children moved to Clarksville Iowa in 1868, with no sign of accompaniment by oldest son, Reuben, or Julius, the ex-husband. Ed stayed in NY until 1875 or so then also moved to Clarksville, Iowa. The family never returned to NY that we know of again. Two Gentleman have lots of information on the Bement family, one operates the "Bement Chronicles" pages on-line, indicate that source says Julius moved to Ohio, joined the Civil War with his son, Reuben, Julius was a minister. That seems doubtful to me given his 1850 occupation as "None" & the divorce which would not be acceptable for a minister of any kind in that day & age. However, I do know the laws of NY say at that time the only reason for a divorce to be granted is adultry, & the adultrous party can not be married again in the State of NY. So it is possible this marriage in 1857 in Ohio is the same Julius BEMENT, who moved to Ohio because of the divorce laws of the State of NY. He may have joined the Civil War in Ohio during his second marriage if he is the same individual that has married Charlotte JOHNSON as was married to Sarah BEMENT. It is possible that he was killed during the Civil War. It seems possible that he entered the Civil War with his son, Reuben, as Reuben is living in NY before & after the divorce, although not in 1860, so it's possible he also lived in Huron Ohio then. In 1860 Ohio State Penitentiary census shows a Julius C. BENNETT or BEMENT, age 47, lecturer, born NY, incarcerated for bigamy. I was thrilled to find this marriage for Julius BEMENT & Charlotte M JOHNSON in Huron Co, Ohio on LDS pages, in 1857 as it seems possible this could be the same person I've been looking for. Appreciate any help anyone can give to let me know any details about Julius & Charlotte JOHNSON BEMENT, age, occupation, etc, to see if this might be the same Julius BEMENT. Any death information, military service information appreciated. This could clear up a longstanding mystery about what happened to him. Up until now, despite diligent searches by genealogists, record searches by many societies & individuals, nothing can be found of the life of Julius after 1853 when his youngest child was born.

Judy Baker Look Up Results - I checked the Death Index, Huron County Ohio Court Records -- 1867-1908. There were no BEMENTS in that index or the Birth Index for the same time period. Here is the only Julius C. BEMENT in the Civil War Records at www.ancestry.com. There was no pension record noted. I searched for Reuben/Ruben BEMENT but found no record in any of the Civil War databases at www.ancestry.com. There are two Edwards -- one 116 NY Infantry and another 12 Michigan Infantry. Personal Information- Name- Julius C. BEMENT; Company- A; Unit- 14 Ohio Infantry; Rank - Induction- Corporal; Rank - Discharge- Corporal; Allegiance- Union.

I would like the cemetery information on the four BEMENT inscriptions shown at Wakeman Cemetery. I don't know if it will help me, but it's worth a try. I know Julius married Charlotte in 1857, they may have had children that could be these folks.

In 1850 Julius C. BEMENT born 1812-1813 was living in Skaneateles, New York with his wife Sarah age 28, son Reuben age 9, Dau Frances age 5 & son Ed age 2. Julius occupation is listed as "none" on the 1850 census. He is the son of John & Betsy HITCHCOCK BEMENT from Genoa, NY. HIs brother Jeremy had a carriage factory in Seneca, NY until 1848-1849. In 1850 Julius wife, Sarah DARLING BEMENT, dau of Reuben & Frances HART DARLING, from Peruville area, Tompkins Co, NY had a daughter named Sarah & in 1853 she had a son named William BEMENT. 1865 census shows all children born Cayuga Co, N, except William who was born in Cortland Co, NY. In 1860 Sarah is living alone in Groton, Tompkins Co, New York with the 2 youngest children, Sarah & William. Frances is living in Dryden, with the Thomas Darby family "going to school". (Frances married Thomas Darby in Cortlandville in March 1865.) Sons Reuben & Ed are not seen on census, but in 1865 Reuben is a Tailor in Groton, age 23, Ed is a Blacksmith age 16, & Sarah, & William are living with their mother Sarah who is "divorced by the laws of the State of New York". Ed filed Civil War pension papers from Minnesota later in life showing he was trained as a blacksmith in Scipio, NY, so that may be where he is located in 1860. Reuben also may have been apprenticing somewhere outside the county as a tailor, since he is shown that way in 1865. Reuben Bement is never seen or heard from again, is not seen anywhere on the 1870 census & in 1868 the other members of the family, besides Reuben & Julius all move to Clarksville, Iowa, Stopping in Wisconsin to see/visit others on the way. (It's possible Reuben moved to Wisconsin, but no evidence of it can be found). Sarah BEMENT lists herself as a widow in Clarksville Iowa on the 1870 census, so probably Julius had died shortly after discharge in Ohio 1862-1870 census, but no evidence of his grave can be found in Ohio or New York. What happened to husband Julius Bement? In 1860 Ohio State Penitentary census shows a Julius C. BENNETT or BEMENT, age 47, lecturer, born NY, incarcerated for bigamy. He had apparently married Charlotte M. JOHNSON July 2, 1857 in Huron Co, Ohio, at least that's what Ohio marriage records show. Ohio Civil War records show that Julius C. BEMENT enlisted in Sept 1861 as a Corporal & was given a disability discharge in 1862, March. After the birth of his youngest son in 1853, we do now know what happened to Julius & whether there are any more details of this affair that were in papers of the time. It does seem that the son of a well known early pioneer, such as John BEMENT was in that part of NY, leaving town as a minister or lecturer, & then deserting his family, not returning home, later being found to have been married in Ohio, & somehow incarcerated for bigamy by 1860, whiile his NY wife obtains a "divorce by the laws of the State of NY" before 1865, )which at this time only allowed for divorce for reason of adultry), might have sparked some publicity, news, in the papers of the time. Can anyone provide any more details on this? Julius & Sarah BEMENT are my GGG Grandparents

Deborah Orth Look Up Results-- In checking the husband list in the index to marriages, Julius BEMENT is not listed. When I look through the list of brides, Charlotte JOHNSON is listed as marrying a J.C. BENNET on 2 Jul 1857. I don't know if the record was hard to read or he misspelled his name on purpose.

Ken Shute Look Up Results - In checking our publications and Ancestry.Com's Federal Census for New London Village, Huron County, OH, I find the following BOWLES family members in the censuses of 1860, 1870 & 1880. Read first name, birthplace, and estimated birth year- 1860 Census- Richard, England, abt 1819; Diana, England abt., 1809; William, France, abt. 1845; George, England, abt 1853. 1870 Census- Richard; Diana; George. 1880 Census- Richard; Diana; William. And in a separate household- George BOWLES. Our Huron County, Ohio Marriage Records by Scheuer Publications show the following marriages- George BOWLES m. Mary SAXTON 30 Jun 1872; William BOWLES m. Minerva GARRISON 26 Dec 1867. Family Search's Family Group Record shows a Richard BOWLS marrying a Diana SMITH 20 Dec 1843 at the British Embassy Chapel, Paris, Seine, France. This would seem to explain the census record birthplace of France listed for William BOWLES, born abt. 1845. Richard BOWLES (presumably as "R. BOWLES") is seen listed as a land owner in the 1873 Atlas of Huron County, Ohio. Here he owns property in New London Twp - section 4, lot 13 (24 acres) and section 4, lot 14 (42 acres). Richard does not appear in the 1891 Atlas of Huron County, Ohio, but George BOWLES is listed as owning property in New London Village, New London Twp. lot O.L. 15 (a tract of land covering both sides of the P.A. & W. railroad tracks). I found a William BOWLES listed in the R.B. Hayes Obituary Index as having died at age 68 in Sandusky County, Ohio, on 25 Oct 1913, but I couldn't find a death date (or other references) for Richard and Diana BOWLES in Huron County, Ohio after 1880.They just semed to have moved on, either physically or metaphysically. George BOWLES is seen as owning property in Huron County as late as 1891. Which leads me to the following highly speculative question, not unlike the "Hail Mary" pass in football- Is there any possibility that Diana BOWLES may have moved back to England soon after the 1880 Census for Huron County, Ohio? The reason I ask is that Ancestry.com shows a Diana BOWLES, widow (age 72) with estimated year of birth as 1809, in the England Census of 1881. There is only one other Diana BOWLES listed in this census, and year of birth would rule her out as a possible match for your Diana BOWLES. Details- Name- Diana BOWLES; Age in 1881- 72; Estimated birth year- abt. 1809; Relationship to head of household- head (sole occupant); Where born- Gibralter; Address- Bishop Bridge Rd.; Civil Parish- Thorpe, next Norwich County, Norfolk, England; Occupation- Laundress; Marital Sataus- Widowed. If this person is the same as your Diana BOWLES, it would imply that Richard BOWLES died sometime between the taking of the 1880 Census of New London Twp., Huron County, Ohio on 9 Jun 1880, and date (unknown) of the taking of the 1881 England Census. It would certainly help to know also if your Diana (Smith) BOWLES was born in Gibralter, a British crown colony.

I find it fascinating that you believe Diana BOWLES could have moved back to England. I was wondering the same thing. I have not found any records of a U.S. date of death for her or for Richard. I wondered as well if they had gone back to England, as there is no record of them being buried in any Huron County Cemeteries. Richard applied for naturalization in 1872 and William applied in 1871. Diana seems not to have applied. I have requested copies of these naturalization documents from Huron County Probate and expect to see these in about 2 weeks. I am assuming that this will give me a point of origin for my gggrandparents. I will follow through on this idea of Gibralter, England and see what I can come up with there. Also, Tom Neel of New London sent an article to me stating that my BOWLES sold their property to a family named Legget. I have some records of this, which I got from microfishe at the local LDS center. Perhaps the date of sale will help me out as well. Maybe they sold the property and moved back to England.

Ken Shute Look Up Results - I believe I have found the death date for the Diana BOWLES listed in the England Census of 1881 as a widow, age 72, born in Gibralter, and living on Bishop Bridge Rd., Thorpe next Norwich in the county of Norfolk, England. The date is March 1883. It can be found on the web site for FreeBMD (births, marriages, deaths). The site is- freebmd.rootsweb.com. There are five entries for Diana BOWLES. Besides the death date mentioned, there is a birth date given which appears to relate to the birth of your Diana BOWLES' son George BOWLES in Shardlow, Mar 1852. If you're not familiar with FreeBMD, the first page of the web site states that it is a project to transcribe the Civil Registration index of births. marriages, and deaths for England and Wales, and covers index records for the period 1837-1983. (When filling out the search criteria for Diana BOWLES I filled in "All Types" for the different records, "All Districts," and "All Counties." Here are the five records for Diana BOWLES. Read Name, Age (when given), District, Volume nr., and Page nr.. 1.Births Mar 1852- Diana BOWLES, Shardlow, 7b, 321. "The district Shardlow spans the boundaries of the counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire..." (Appears to relate to the birth of George BOWLES in 1852.) 2. Deaths Mar 1883- Diana BOWLES, age 74, Norwich, 4b, 88. "The district Norwich can be found in the county of Norfolk..." (Seemingly relates to the Diana BOWLES who appeared in the 1881 England Census at age 72, living in Thorpe, next Norwich, Norfolk, England. May or may not be the same as Diana (SMITH) BOWLES). 3. Births Jun 1874- Diana Maria BOWLES, Norwich, 4b, 117. "The district Norwich is in the county of Norfolk..." 4. Marriages Mar 1897- Diana Maria BOWLES, Norwich, 4b, 260. "The district Norwich is in the county of Norfolk..." (Presumably the same Diana BOWLES as in 3. above). 5. Deaths Sep 1883 Diana BOWLES, age 1, Fulham, 1a, 140. "The district Fuham spans the boundaries of Greater London, London and Middlesex..." (Appears not to relate to the above listings). I also made a quick search of the freeBMD web site for listings of Richard BOWLES. There were many of them, but none I could pin down as being your Richard BOWLES. Maybe you will have better luck. (Unless he died in the U.S.).

I researched the Thorpe next Norwich area and came up with some terrific information. Besides being farmers, my BOWLES family ran a tavern by the railroad tracks on the property that they owned in New London. I do not yet know the name of it. I believe that I found my Richard in 1841 in the village of Great Yarmouth, Norwich, along with other family members who of all things were tavern keepers. As I "traveled through time", I found who is perhaps his father, another Wm. BOWLES owning several taverns including, The Britannia Beerhouse in 1819, The Coach and Horses in 1830-1835 and the Sawyers Arms in 1839. I understand that it was destroyed by fire in 1854. Richard and Diana BOWLES arrived in New London between 1854 and 1860. It made sense to me that perhaps Diana returned to an area where she had family or fond memories or perhaps owned some property.

My ggg grandfather (paternal) was Israel STALEY/STEALY, born about 1825/26 in Pennsylvania (per 1850 & 1860 Federal census records of Huron Co., OH). He married Louisiana/Lucy Ann HELTMAN 3 June 1847 in Ashland, OH (not sure if it was city or county) and they were living in Clarksfield Township on both 1850 and 1860 censuses. They had five children: Joseph b. 1849, Almyra b. 1852, Latarious b. 1854, Mary Ann b. 1856, and Jeremiah Heltman b. 1859. Israel was a farmer by occupation. Lucy died suddenly 18 May, 1868 and her obit does not mention her husband Israel. In the 1870 Federal census, four of the children are living with Lucy's parents, Joseph and Catherine HELTMAN, in Milton Township, Ashland Co., OH. I believe Latarious died prior to the 1860 census and SOMETHING happened to Israel! I have never found any land records for him, nor anything else of any mention. He's my brickwall. Does anyone have any suggestions what else I could do to find him or what happened to him? I don't know his parents' names either, so am pretty much stuck in time!

Ken Shute Look Up Results - I had reported five results when I checked the freeBMD records for a Diana BOWLES. One of these was for a Diana Maria BOWLES who was born Jun 1874 and married Mar 1897 in that tiny corner of England known as Norwich/Norfolk. This is the same location (Thorpe, next Norwich, Norfolk) listed for the Diana BOWLES who appeared in the 1881 England Census at age 72, and who might be the same as your Diana (SMITH) BOWLES. It occurred to me that this Diana Maria BOWLES just might be related in some way to your Richard BOWLES/ BOWLES relatives you think may be living in the same general area. To search for the household in which Diana Maria BOWLES might have been living before her marriage, I turned to the freeBMD for the marriage records of any BOWLES who lived in Norwich for the years 1868-1873. (There were no marriage records listed for the years 1861-1867.) This search turned up nine BOWLES candidates as the parents of Diana Maria BOWLES. I then checked each candidate against the 1881 England Census and found only one possible match. This was the household of a David BOWLES, all members of which were born in Norwich, Norfolk, England. The household is (read name, relationship, age, and occupation)- David BOWLES, head, 37, general labor; Maria BOWLES, wife, 30; Priscilla BOWLES, daughter, 9, scholar; Maria BOWLES, daughter, 6, scholar; Lydia BOWLES, daughter, 4, scholar; David BOWLES, son, 6 months. Source information for above- Dwelling- 28 Chalk Hills. Census Place- Thorpe, next Norwich, Norfolk England. All factors for a match with the household of Diana Maria BOWLES look good, if we can accept that this Maria actually had the first name of Diana, but went by her middle name of Maria. In your "time travels" through Greater Yarmouth, Norwich, did you happen to run into a David BOWLES (born about 1844) who might have been a much younger relative of Richard BOWLES (born about 1819)?

David Velten Look Up Results - I should have checked Seneca County yesterday while I was at it. Your SWARTZLANDERs are buried in Bishop Seybert Flat Rock Cemetery in Thompson Township, Seneca County. The cemetery index shows 3 related families buried in what is probably a family plot- SWARTZLANDER, Sec. A, row 2, lots 3-5. 3. Daniel L., 1900-1978; Sarah E., 1898-1975; 4. Marvin W., 1911-1978; Glada V., 1911-; 5. Willard C., 1885-1958; Vertie B., 1885-1958. Other Swartlander nearby in Bishop Seybert- SWARTLANDER, sec. A, row 1, lots 4-5. 4. Harrry C., 13 May 1888-14 Feb 1965; Ferne H., 1 Jan 1891-16 Nov 1972; 5. Carl E., 1908- ; Daisy M., 1919- . Note that the cemetery was read in 1987 so changes since then aren't in the index. There are other SWARTZLANDERs in this cemeetry, but I'm not sure if you are interested beyond Daniel's line? You can also find this info online, including some photos of the cemetery on Kris Krumm's fantastic website. The data is based on the cemetery index, it is not a new reading of the stones. So it will not have new information unless a volunteer has added it. With 1000+ stones in the cemetery, no one has taken on the effort of photographing each stone.

Judy Baker Look Up Results - The STALEY/STEALY family you describe was found in 1860 in Cass Twp., Village of Planktown, Richland County, Ohio in 1860 census, indexed as Israel STELLY, on p. 211/389 h/h 1471/1510. I could not find them in Huron Co., Ohio. One suggestion- if you ask yourself how Lucy and Israel met, then you might consider the possibility that they lived near each other in Richland/Ashland County. (Note that Milton Twp straddles the Richland/Ashland County line. There's a STALEY family one page over from Joseph HELTMAN in 1840 Milton Twp., Richland County. Head of household is Israel age 40-50 with several males in the h/h of the right age for your Israel. In 1850, this Israel STEALEY, born about 1793 in Pa. is in Milton Twp., Ashland county. In 1860, Daniel and the son and daughter-in-law who were living with Israel in 1850 (George and Caroline) are found in Elkhart Co., Indiana. It appears Israel elder, age 68, was still in Milton Twp. living with the William and Barbara FULMER family and indexed as Israel STANLEY. The elder Israel then reappears in 1870 in Harrison, Elkhart Co., Indiana living with Daniel and family. In 1870 and 1880, there are also some intriguing entries for a younger Israel, born about 1826 in Pennsylvania and living in Illinois. See Israel STALEY, age 41 and Phebe J. in 1870 census of Joliet Ward 4, Will County, Illinois, p. 231, h/h 70/83. The same couple (STEALEY) can be found in 1880 in Morris, Grundy County, Illinois, ED 9, p. 352a, h/h 130/133. There are FORD children living with this couple in both 1870 and 1880, perhaps Phebe's children from an earlier marriage? This may not be your Israel, but the age is about right. Here's an online index for the cemeteries in Harrison Twp, Elkhart Co., Indiana (among other twps) at https://sites.rootsweb.com/~inelkhar/Cemeteriesv2.htm. There are several STEALY burials, including two entries for Israel. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to ask for a cemetery lookup and check for a probate record for the elder Israel to see if there's any mention of your Israel or his children.

Would some one please look up the obituaries of these three ancestors of mine who died in Huron County. They lived in the New Haven area and are buried in the New Haven Maple Grove Cemetery. Their obits were probably printed in the Plymouth Advertiser. Birchie Fletcher COLE, wife of Elzie COLE. Born 12-7-1897 and died 7-13-1931. Artemissa ( Arty ) COLE IRVIN, Sister of Elzie COLE. Born 2-7-1871 and died 3-20-1939. Samantha COLE, Wife of Preston COLE, Sister of Elzie COLE. Born 1-13-1872 and died 12-13-1936.
