These are some photos of Early Ohio residents from the Countys in and around Vinton Co., Jackson Co, and Athens County.
I'd like to begin by saying I am no expert in genealogy but I find it very interesting. My mother's family come from New England where the genealogy flows like water. There have been many people who have contributed to my research on her side. On my mother's side, the families in her tree are Clark, Remick, Russell, Robinson, Adams, Currier and Partridge, among many others.
On my father's side, I have only begun to scratch the surface. He was born in Wellston Ohio, one of 18 children. Several of his sisters married Vinton County boys, and 2 sisters married cousins. The families in my dad's tree are Allen, Crow, Hall, Deal, Dalton, West, Cooker, and McCray...among others
While visiting with my 85 year old aunt in McArthur, Ohio, I was able to scan her collection of old family photos. These photos were a part of a collection that belonged to Cora B. West Crow and her husband Julius Arthur Crow; which was passed on to her husband John William Crow. Some of the photos had names written on the back, but there are alot of phots with no names. I hope that anyone visiting this site may find a relative or two among these pictures and will contact me if they can identify the people in these phots.
I also have some group shots of school children, and school gatherings with no names that may be interesting to someone.
As I come across more photos, I will add them. Whenever possible, I will include the names of the people in the photos.
