RECENTLY DISCOVERED! According to Corinne McRaven Moore, her great-grandmother Margarette had been orphaned as a young child and was taken in and raised by the Doty family. Margarette gave the name Doty on her marriage license to George Moses. We have long wondered what her birth name was. Finally, the Cook Co., IL Death Index 1887 - 1922 (ancestry.com) for her son Edward Moses lists his mother as Marg McKenzie. We also now understand why, when she died in 1896, Margarette (Maggie) Moses was originally buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery (St. Louis, MO) in a plot owned by Owen Vail's family - he was her son-in-law. She was re-interred 12 Dec 1928 in the Coy family plot in Bellefontaine Cem.

RIPLEY, OH TO VICTORIO, BRAZIL, 1920 In 1920 Jules Verne Moore accepted a wager to sail a houseboat from Ohio to Brazil. He was accompanied by his new bride Gladys Wilson, John Moss, Capt. and Mrs. Ted Miles, Nick and Margaret Germann, and Henry and Francis Messenger. At various points during the trip, they were also joined by Zelma Nickols, Frank Germann, Jack Reddick, Gordon Bailey, Al Reynolds, Earle Transue, and Moore's servant who was referred to by the newspapers as Chin, but was likely James Steinhall who was listed as Moore's servant in the 1920 census. This is from the scrapbook J.V. Moore kept during their journey. Click on the title or check out the Histories at the far left. It is a large file - be patient.
ABSTRACTS FROM THE CLERMONT SUN NEWSPAPER, CLERMONT COUNTY, OH ***Click on Histories at the far left. *** Check out the Histories at the far left. I have abstracted deaths, bastardy cases, divorces, and living persons over the age of 70 from the newspaper. So far, I abstracted papers from 06 Jan 1886 to 25 Apr 1888 and 03 Sep 1890 to 10 Jul 1895. The Clermont County Genealogical Society used to post these for me (thank you!), however, I find that it is easier to make corrections and additions from my own website. I am no longer updating the CCGS files.Check out the Histories at the far left.
