This title contains records dating from 1750 to 1880, including the names of around 70,000 individuals. The data was gathered from diverse sources, including marriage records, gravestone inscriptions, local histories, newspaper summaries, tax lists, estate settlements, will abstracts, Bible records, family histories, and land records.
The information you can glean from the books about the individuals listed will vary based on the original article in which they appear. The Ohio Cemetery Records primarily contain tombstone inscriptions that provide age and date-of-death details. Some records also include information about the individual’s parents, spouse, or children. Additionally, burial records from cemeteries in East Haddam, Connecticut, and Rutland, Massachusetts, are available, as they were significant starting points for migrations into Ohio.
