QUERY!!


I am looking for information regarding John W. Summers, his wife Martha Summers, and their daughter Theressa Summers.  They lived in Washington Township, Lawrence County, Ohio in the late 1800"s.  I know John was born about 1846 and Martha died February 12, 1889 and is buried in Olive Cemetery.  Theressa, my grandmother, married Grove White and lived in Lancaster, Ohio.  I would appreciate any information.  Thank you.

NEW!  Please help me find William Isitt!


I am trying to trace a distant relative named William Isitt, who was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1815 and emigrated to the U.S., arriving in New York in April 1842 on the "Sheridan". I have a copy of a letter that he wrote to his brother and sister in Wales on July 17th 1848. His address at that time was Hanging Rock, Lawrence County, Ohio.
 
Other than this letter, and the record of his arrival in New York, I have been able to find absolutely no record of William Isitt in the U.S. 
 
I am wondering if you have any ideas, or if you can suggest someone who could undertake some paid research for me.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Best regards

Ellen Gammon jlgammon@roadrunner.com

Ellen is retired and has been doing genealogy for eleven years. She thoroughly enjoys helping other fellow genealogists find their families, and it reflects in her work. She does research mainly in Lawrence Co., OH, but occasionally will travel to Scioto Co., OH, if needed.

She has been doing research for others for nine years with no negative feedback and has had many repeat customers during that time. Some of the money she receives for researching is donated back into the local library's genealogy departments and The Lawrence Register.

She has volunteered and completed many jobs for The Lawrence Register; the latest was completing the 1930 census index for Lawrence County, OH.

Her charges are very reasonable. One lookup is only $7.00. For other research, she charges a $25.00 minimum (or $30.00 minimum for Scioto Co. research) which includes two hours’ research and up to five copies of census pages, birth or death records (1868 to 1938), marriage records, cemetery records, obits, etc. Gasoline costs, postage, and travel time are included. Wills may cost a little more, as they can sometimes be several pages.
