David Cox (?) respond to a question that I posted relative to more specific
areas in Noble County Ohio associated with the Triplett, Star and Catlett
families who were the subject of recent postings. He responded that they
were in Beaver Township, Guernsey County Ohio, and Calais Monroe County
Ohio.
Cinda Kerr Jenny and I have mentioned our line that includes James/Mary
Catlett and George Washington/Nursis Catlett. George Washington Caltett was
in Seneca Township Nobel County Ohio in the early 1900's, at least as early
as 1918, and probably earlier. Beaver Township Guernsey County became Beaver
Township Nobel County Ohio when Noble was formed in 1851. Seneca and Beaver
are separated by Wayne, in one area by only a thin panhandle. That is they
are close. Likewise, the town of Calais in Monroe County Ohio is only 10
miles or so from the Beaver/Seneca Township area. Cambridge which others
have mentioned in connection with the Triplett, Star and Catlett families is
the County Seat of Guernsey County, and is about 20 miles from Seneca/Beaver
Township areas.
Alan -- terrific information!! Do you have an online map source that might
provide a visual of southeastern Ohio? I've got some modern day atlases and
an early 20th century gazetteer, but an online source might be invaluable to
others to help visualize.
Do any of you suppose that the Indian attack may have occurred within 20 miles
of the areas you've mentioned? Were Indian attacks occurring in Ohio in the
late 1830s/early 1840?
Diana took a terrific stab at locating James CATLETT (your guy) in the
1850-1870 censuses and didn't have much luck last night. Have you or Cinda
found him in a census before 1880? (It could be that the indicies for the
census at Ancestry aren't reliable for those time periods or the name spelled
"funny" (not literally of course! <g>).
