Index of Law. County, OH Prisoners Incarcerated in State Penitentary in
Columbus, OH 1844-1898

Submitted and © by Martha J. Kounse
Stories About Some Prisoners
These Lawrence County, Ohio names were abstracted from the Ohio Penitentiary's Register of Prisoners at Ohio Historical Society in Columbus, Ohio. Some of the entries were nearly impossible to read and there will be some human errors.  As with any source, please check the original record for accuracy.  You can order these microfilms from your local Family History Library. I have additional information on these prisoners which is not included in this index, and will be publishing a book in the future. Almost all prisoners have additional information which include: When received, When and how discharged, Age, Nativity, Occupation, Height, Color of Eyes, Complexion, General Appearance, Scars, Marks, Education, Property Owned, Whether Temperate, and Relatives, and where they live.
