Scioto County, Ohio, Newspaper Index
Deaths and Marriages, 1818-1865

I have recently sent to the printer a book that contains an index to 20 newspapers from the Scioto County, Ohio, area. The fact that many articles, as well as notices, were indexed in relation to deaths and marriages, is of importance to Kentucky researchers. Because many people were continuing to move on, the newspapers regularly copied notices and articles from other papers, particularly from nearby counties and states, although the territorial reports were covered as well. Also, because of existing marriage laws in Kentucky, many couples crossed the river to be married and the ministers and justices listed their names in the paper.
