| Comments: | Just looking around.....back in the mid 80's, I, my Father and Mother, made a brief stop in your town to visit my Great-Aunt. My Father took me to the cemetary and showed me the gravesites of our ancestors up on "the hill".
Great website - I hope everyone is successful in their quest of their own family histories! |

| Comments: | My 4th Great Grandfather, Francis Thierry, died in Gallia County on 2 December 1832. His son, James Noble Thierry, may have been born there in 1816. His daughter, Naragansett Caroline, is my 2nd great grandmother. She is the mother of my Great Grandfather, Frederick O Dickey who died in Illinois. I am wondering if Francis Thierry or his wife Frances have a grave site there or if my information is wrong. I plan to come to the area in Summer,2007 and hope to get some information at your historical society then. If you have any information now regarding these folks, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. |

| Comments: | I am researching my Campbell ancestors from Gallia County, Ohio Township. My great great grandfather was Alexander Campbell, born approximately 1825. His second wife was Elizabeth Higgins whom he married in 1852. From the 1850 and 1860 census, Ohio Township seems to have a lot of Campbells. Alexander fathered a son in approximately 1863, but his wife marries John H. Slone (Sloan)in 1870. Can anyone help with my Campbells? |
