Cemeteries and veterans attibuted to Killbuck Township have now been assigned to Wooster Township.
I used the capabilities of the United States Geological Survey and TopoZone.com to try and locate each of the cemeteries within Wayne County. That information has been used to augment the list of cemeteries, to help determine alternate names for each cemetery, and to generate high-resolution maps for each township.
Unfortunately for me, mapping of each cemetery made me realize that the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery is NOT in Wayne County, but rather is in Medina! [that's what I get for going by zip codes!] That removed 419 veterans from our rolls. [If someone is working on the Medina County vets, I will gladly give you this data.]
The good news is that we more than made up for the loss of the Medina vets. Working in conjunction with Wayne Lowery of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) Ohio Grave Registration Site and Susie Holderfield of the 120th Ohio Infantry site, I have added over 530 missing Civil War veterans to the list, as well as filling in some holes in their data. And Janet Welty and the Wooster-Wayne NSDAR site helped me clean up nearly all of the Revolutionary War vets.
I will continue to compare my information with that of Wayne, Susie,
and
other genealogical sources. [ANCESTRY.COM
and The Ohio GenWeb
Project
are favorite stops!] But I live in Manassas, VA and are unable to visit
the
Wayne County
Library
or any of the graveyards personally. Therefore, I am dependent upon --
and in debt to -- local ancestors and researchers to keep me apprised
of any errors and omissions.
1 September 2002 - 6702 Veterans - Since
I first put Mr. Oswald's book online, I have received dozens of
Emails from ancestors, friends, and family members which have helped me
to correct erroneous information and fill in some blanks. In addition,
I have been downloading obituaries from the online version of the Akron
Beacon Journal and the Wooster Daily Record. At this point, there are
nearly 6700 veterans listed in these rolls, many with links
to additional information.
Betty Thompson Leonard went through every record, identifying
obvious errors in dates of birth and death. I am very much in her debt.
27 January 2002 - 6371 Veterans
15 July 2001 - I searched a couple Vietnam Veteran Wall sites (most importantly, The Wall) for additional information on service and/or "Wall" notations. That data has been linked to the appropriate veterans with source URLs included.
