RE: Re: Find A Grave Photo Request Problem - Leon Williams
Its a good size - probably 5-6 acres. Still active. I believe he must have an unmarked grave. The Church - New Hope may have records. The cemetery has markers as to sections. If you contact the Church and get the location I will go back out ...

William Henry Matthews
What a surprise to find my Great Great Grandfather's grave on your site. (William Henry Matthews, Warwick, NY). I've been researching my Father's line for awhile and have found William Henry's Father: John William Matthews b. 1832 and died young in 1862. He married a woman I've seen identified as Lizzie Sheridan, Mary Sheridan, Eliza Sheridan who I believe was born on 15 May 1834 in New York and died 3 May 1907. I know she remarried to an Alfred Decker (possibly of New Jersey, perhaps NY) after her first husband John William died.I recently discovered that John William came to the U. S. when he was very young, arriving in NY on the Barque Jane on 28 June 1834 from London. I haven't been able to find any more information about this line, and have searched for quite some time to find out what happened to John William that he died at an early age. It was during the civil war and I've wondered if he may have been killed during the war. Have reached a lot of dead ends. Would be most interested to see if you have any other information about this line, or if there is anything you think I can share with you I'd be most happy to do it. I have more than 8700 names on my tree, between my father and mother's lines.

Thanks and keep up your great work!

OK, but without your information, I couldn't have done it.

It has been confirmed and all information changed and people linked. Thank You very much.
I found them listed in Grassy Run in the Cemeteries of Clinton Co. under Grassy Run. I looked for John Hodson, Dursilla's husband, but he was not listed.

RE: Temperance Holson/Hodson Memorial Grassy Run, Clinton Co., Ohio
I think it is Temperance and William Holson. But I need a couple of days to get to the library to look up what is listed in the Cemeteries of Clinton Co.'s list, then I will change them. Thank you for catching this.

PS. The snow is "fun" if you have young children or grandchildren who enjoyed it as much as we all did -- just at the right time and temperature, (school break for Christmas). It's rare to be able to go sledding four days in a row. But "ug" the snow removal wasn't anymore fun than mowing.

RE: Temperance Holson/Hodson Memorial Grassy Run, Clinton Co., Ohio
I don't have a better picture, snow is on the ground and melting so the cemeteries are mushy. Our Historical Society offices are closed until March. So-ooo, the best thing to do is wait or go with the Ancestry.com census records that diffinately correspond with your information. The only problem is: It seems Temperance and William's daughter married a "Hodson" because that is their name on the 1880 census along with Temerance's name of Holson. So her name may have copied wrong if she lived with her married daughter after William died. PS I also think that the William Holdon in Grassy Run is William Holson. Look at it and see what you think.

In the bio section I am going to keep the first transcript, and change to your information in the dates. Later, it can be corrected if you are wrong. But I don't think you are.

NO Temperance and William Hodson came up in Clinton Co. in my research for that surname.
