This is wonderful information. I am researching my family tree and this article has been very helpful as I trace my Harper line through Belmont and Hocking Counties. I had always wondered why the Wayne National Forest website had genealogical information, now I see how it all fits together. Thank you for sharing this information with those of us seeking to uncover our family histories.
