ANNOUCEMENT!!
My new book: "Prisoners at Ohio State Penitentiary: 1834-1905 from Lawrence County Ohio" is now available online at Amazon.com.
By Martha J. Martin. Cost is $25.00 each.
Taken from microfilm reels filmed by the Columbus Historical Society, 1982. Each register of inmate includes their name, age, birthplace, occupation, term of sentence, county,
discharge date, crime, property, physical description, habits, property, relatives and their residence, and education.
(This book mentions areas other than Lawrence County, Ohio.)
The original records
were carefully read by Martha J. (Kounse) Martin. Please keep in mind,
some were very faded and hard to read, and there may be
errors. You can order the microfilmed copy at your local
Family History Center.
