Just curious and new to this list. I have our James Bass as a shoe maker in Fairfield Co. Highland Ohio. He came from North Carolina, where he was a boot and shoemaker. Some one said that the area is Quaker, but did not know mixed were with Quakers. Is Longtown close to Fairfield? He went on to Eudora Ks where his wife Sarah died of TB in 1870. Does Ohio have birth records for 1855-1867?
