Notes

[1] Warnings out from Overseers of the Poor were given to indigent persons in Kirtland Township who were not legal residents and not able to care for themselves. Thus they were warned to depart from the township, and their names appeared in the township record. Ages and family relationships of persons warned out of town are not shown in these particular records, but may be shown in warnings out in other localities in Ohio, New England, and elsewhere. For further reference on this subject see Josiah Henry Benton, Warning Out in New England, 1656–1817 (1911; reprint. Freeport, N.Y.: Books for Libraries Press, 1970).

[2] Earmarks were placed on the ears of cattle, sheep, and other animals to identify livestock for their owners. In addition to proprietors’ names, also shown in the records are the number of horses, cattle, etc., and value (dollar amount).
