John DeWalt, a long time member of the Richland County Chapter of The OhioGenealogcal Society, has brought us copies of several letters that were found inthe house of John W. and Cathrine Darby Leppo.

John Leppo married Catherine Darby in 1876.Catharine was a daughter of John O. Cd 1886) andine 28 acres of land in 1880.

These letters were addressed to brother and sister and probably were toCatherine's parents.

Samuel DeWalt purchased a 96 acre farm in 1910 that had been owned by JohnO. Darby, and later the 28 acres owned by Leppo.

He has pictures of the Lorenzo B. Darby family and Franklin E. Darby familywho he believes went to Williams Co., Ohio.

The IGI File from LDS

The Associated Press reports that Ohio Historical Society, Columbus, hasbought the complete International Genealogical Index (IGI) from Church of JesusChrist of Latter Day Saints (LDS) in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Gary Arnold, head of research at the Ohio Historical Society Library inColumbus, said the IGI* is a standard reference for genealogists and contains6,700 state-of-the-art microfiche. The index to births, deaths and marriagesfrom about 1500 to 1870 covers records that have been extracted and submitted tothe LDS Genealogical Department.

Arnold said the purchase of IGI means that large numbers of researchers cancheck many names in a short time there.

* The OHIO GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY has the IGI File for North America.

NOTE: Foreign birthplaces are often found in the obituaries of those who camehere in the middle and late 1800's. When doi~g newspaper research for obituariesthe earlier the date of the paper (weekly and semi-weekly papers) more weeksfollowing the death must be researched. After daily papers came into being inthe latter part of the last century, it became possible to find obits the sameday as the death, or a very short time later. If you cannot find a death forsomeone in the outlying areas of the county, search the papers in the adjoiningcounties. The best collection of newspapers in Ohio is at The Ohio HistoricalSociety Library in Columbus. They have card indices for both area and timeperiod. You will find a day at the Historical Society well spent. Ed.Richland County Chapter of The Ohio Genealogical Society Oct. - Dec. 1987

VERY EARLY RICHLAND COUNTY, OHIO RECORDS

In the Ohio Historical Society Manuscript Collection there are a number ofrecords of great interest to Richland County. One of the most interesting isthe record of the Eben P. Sturges Family. (MSS 539) These consist of a numberof boxes and folders of original papers which included the DAYBOOK that was usedin that old store from October 1815 to July 1817.

Mr. Sturges owned one of the earliest stores in Mansfield. The store stoodon the square at Main Street, where Reed's is located today. Several years ago,Maxine Kinton and Mary Jane Henney had the book microfilmed and placed it in theMansfield Richland Public Library. The film was indexed by Maxine Kinton andit is in the Sherman Room. This record will help place your ancestors in thisarea before 1820. NOTE additional names at the end of the list.

SOME MARING FAMILY HISTORY

by Ellen M. Benedict, 8106 SE Carlton, Portland OR 97206

Philip Maring serv2d in the War of 1812 for Morris Co., N.J. and received apension. His brother, Leonard S. Maring (1794-1868) served from Sussex Co. N.J.in 1812. Leonard's death certificate (Dover, Mass.) states his father wasNichoas Maring, b. Germany and his mother, Susannah, b. Holland. Susannah Mar­ing wife of Nicholas, signed a deed of 1800 with Nicholas in Roxbury Twp.,Morris Co., N.J. Whether she was Philip's mother we do not know.

Nicholas Maring died intestate in 1808 in Newton Twp., Sussex Co., N.J. AWilliam Mearing served as bondsman on the letter of Administration. NicholasMearng was listed on the 1799-1780 "New Jersey Rateables" (tax list) for "old"Roxbury Twp., Morris Co. N.J. He was listed on the 1781 membership list for ZionLutheran Congregation of German Valley (old Roxbury Twp.) now Washington Twp.(Long Valley) Morris Co. Nicholas Mohring signed the Constitution of the com­bined St. Paul's and Zion Lutheran Churches in 1767, this is the earliest knownrecord for Nicholas.

Philip, Sarah and several of their married children moved to Whitley Co. INin 1843/44. The Jacob Lash Maring Bibl~ is stored in the house on a "CenturyFarm" where 5 generations of Philip's descendants were born. Maralyn AnnTschantz, b. 7 Nov 1934, daughter of Harold F. an Marjorie A. Tschantz, was thelast one born there. Marjorie Tschantz, a widow, lived there in 1982.

Philip served in the War of 1812 from 17 Sep 1812 - 30 Nov 1812 and thenmoved to Ohio in time to be married in Oct. 1813. He moved to Richland Co. intime for his son, Leonard, to be born there. According to Graham's historyp.427, he lived on the SW quarter, Sec. 4 and voted in the first election ofJefferson Twp., held April 1818. Phineas Merring, a wheelwright lived on thesame quarter section and voted in that election. Philip appears on the 1825 TaxList for Belmont Co., Ohio.

Cash money in those days was scarce and if a debt came due aperson might not have the cash to pay - such a suit was an amicable suit, theywere the most common law suits. Others might be surveyor errors, slander, bas­tardy, criminal,etc. Here is one Richland Co. suit that gave much genealogicalinformation in the depositions that were taken.
