This is the site of the Goodrich family of Perry County, Ohio, the Newell family of  Logan County, Ohio, and the Haddix family of Texas. This is also the  site of the Adcock family of Hocking County, Ohio. Lineage of the Ohio families of  Fetherolf, McColloch, Neuenschwander, Williams, and Zane is also included.

By marriage, the decendants of William McColloch Newell (my Grandpa Newell's  grandpa) were related to the Zanes and to the Williamses. Thus, this generation  is distantly related to Zane Grey, the founder of the literary western novel. His  grandmother was the sister of our direct ancestor, Isaac Zane, who married the  Wyandotte Indian Princess Myeerah, only daughter of the Great Sachem, Chief  Tarhe the Crane. Isaac Zane, as interpreter, and Chief Tarhe helped negotiate The  Treaty of Greenville in 1795.  Another direct ancestor, Samuel Newell, was an early  Ohio politician, and represented the USA in The Wyandotte Treaty of 1842. He died in  Iowa of cholera in 1843.  His father, Rev. Robert Newell of North Ireland came to the  American colonies in 1760 with father Hugh O'Neill and siblings, and was a Quaker.

This generation is also distantly related to another Quaker Levi Coffin, Jr., the  Grand Master of the Underground Railroad of the 1850's, through the Williams branch of  the family. His cousins Asa and Silas Williams were conductors on the Underground  Railway. They with Mahlon Pickrell also worked from the 1840's to settle freed blacks  in Ohio through connections to North Carolina Quakers, the other branch of the  Williams family.

Through a different branch of the Williams family, we are related to Mardo  Williams, who wrote a book about his mother Maudella B. Allen  Williams, called "Maude (1883 - 1993): She Grew Up with the Country." Forrest Newell,  Margaret Williams Newell, William Newell, and Elizabeth Newell Haddix are all  mentioned in this book. Forrest Newell, Margaret Williams Newell, William Newell, Ross  and Sarah Williams, and some Witcraft ancestors are also included in the cover photo.

My Haddix cousins are related to baseball legend, Harvey "The Kitten" Haddix.

Through my Goodrich ancestors, our family is related to the nobility and royal  houses of the British Isles. The Goodrich brothers who came in the early 1600s, spent  many years in Connecticut before migrating to Ohio.

This site is dedicated to the memories of my grandmothers Alice Elizabeth Adcock  Goodrich (1909-1996), who told me the stories of her childhood growing up on a dairy  farm near Logan, Ohio and Lillian LaVerne Williams Newell (1909-1976) who told me the  family stories of Ridgeway, Ohio as a child. Lastly, I would also like to acknowledge  the many years of help and loving support of my great-aunt, Catharine Elizabeth Newell  Haddix (1915-2005), without whom this genealogy simply would not have been possible.  She was a guiding light in a dark world, and she truly embodied all the wonderful  qualities that continue to be passed on down the generations of the Newell  family: Intelligence, good-natured humor, integrity, an appreciation of art and  a love of learning. And many thanks to my other relatives and all who contributed to  this site. Lastly, a huge thank you to my husband, Erik Rogers, whose support has been  invaluable.

I would appreciate any details that can be provided on anyone included in this  geneaology. I am also willing to share the information I have. Thank you.
