Here is some family information from around the area
supplied by Elaine Nichols-Tipton
Specifically, Acord & these allied families: Atwood, Freshour,
Davis, Walls, Baker and O'Brien/O'Bryant, as follows:
1910 - Twin Twp., Ross Co., Ohio
Spargursville Pike, dwelling #83
Richard Acord, 1889-1951 (my 1st cousin, 3 times removed)
Malissa Acord (maiden name Walls)
(neighbors - Walls, Hixon, Rhoads, Gragg, Walls, Wilburn, Rea)
Richard Acord was the son of Wesley Acord, who was a son of John Acord &
Margaret Atwood Acord, my 3rd gr-grandparents. Wesley was a brother
of my 2nd gr-grandfather, James Madison Acord.
Wesley Acord married Mary Jane Baker, daughter of Henry & Catherine Knight
Baker, on 11 Jan. 1861 in Pike Co., OH. Shortly after their marriage
they located in the area of Baum Hill but before the census of 1880 they had
relocated to Harris Station, about 1/2 way between Nipgen & Summit Hill.
Richard & Malissa are buried in the Fels Cemetery at the corner of SR 772
and Spargursville Rd. His parents, Wesley & Mary Jane Acord are
buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery, on Potts Hill Rd. They had several
children who died young, and they are buried at the Johnson Cemetery on Minney
Hill Rd.
Some of the Atwood family are also buried at Johnson's Cemetery, where John
& Margaret Atwood Acord might possibly be, (I've been there; no stones for
them, but lots of unmarked graves), and both Acords & Atwoods are buried
there. I have never found their death records or burial locations.
I don't think Richard and Malissa Acord had any children together, although she
may have had one child before her marriage to Richard. When I saw
the photos of school children, I was hoping there may be an Acord in there.
Richard Acord had 2 sisters who also lived in the area. They were
Elizabeth Acord m. James C. Freshour, and they had Ocie (m. Shoults), Georgia,
Gracie & Mary Freshour and Emily Alice Acord m. Frank Davis, but I've never
found any children listed for them. Emily died at age 45 in
1920. Ocie & Georgia may have been young enough to be in the
photos, but I would not be able to identify them.
Margaret Elizabeth Acord m. Lewis O'Brien/O'Bryant and they lived in the area of
Spargursville. They and their children are buried in the old Storms
Cemetery.
I would love to exchange/share info on any of these families. E-mail:
