| Comments: | I have visited your web-site several times and find it very helpful. I was delighted to find information about the Rodgers/Rogers Graveyard where my Gr Gr grandfather is buried. His name is Henry B. Lonis. The information said that his stone is difficult to read but wonder if someone could send me a photo of it anyway. His family must have lived in the area a long time since the Lonnis Hill Road is named after him. Can anyone give me further informaion about the Lonis/Lonnis and Stoval Wilkins family? Thanks.

| Comments: | I sent a question regarding Possum Trot Elementary School and it's location in the early 1920's. Noone was able to locate it - until my husband and I asked Ron Grimes at JCHS Researh Library and he sent us an email showing the Possum Trot School in on Henry Road and 1350 W Road in Graham Township. The plat was 1900. We visited the JCHS Research Library this past week. Ron and the staff were very professional and we were able to contribute some Deputy School Pictures from the 1920's thru the 1960's. We spent about 4 hours at the center- it was well worth our time. Now I have 1 question of you - when was Deputy High School closed and the elementary school built in it's place? We have what seems to be classes (2) at the high school - witting out on the front steps and we are trying to date this picture. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. |

| Comments: | Our research book states the following:
Anthony & Susannah had a son Nathan Hoggatt Sr born 1796. He married Polly or Mary Babb in 1820. They had 12 children. One was James born in 1826 and died in 1895. His brother Anthony is my line. In our book it states: In the ear 1800's Anthony Hoggatt came from Holland first to N.C.?Penn?, then moved to Tenn. Some of his children, at least Nathan Sr was born before coming to America, as we have Nathan Sr. birth date as 1796. Nathan Sr. married Polly Babb in N.C. or Penn and moved to Tenn. Then moved to Ohio about 1830 in a covered wagon. It was stated that Polly "could pick up a barrel of molasses and put it in the smokehouse." Nathan Hoggatt Sr., Marion Township, Clinton County, Ohio served as Justice of Peace of Township April 16, 1826, 1839 and 1842. Hope some of the info is helpful. George Hoggatt |
