Published by EngagedScholarship@CSU, 1968 1 17 CLEV-MAR. L. R. (3) Sept. 1968 Preface This check list includes records and sources relating to Ohio law from 1787 to 1850. The imprint is included without regard to the place of printing, if it relates to Ohio law. A few items after 1850 are included, where appropriate. However, the Session Laws and Statutes of Ohio and the Northwest Territory have not been included since they are the subject of other check lists which are devoted to those two subjects. With regard to Ohio Session Laws, a note of caution should be made. There are a number of Ohio militia laws not in the Ohio Session Laws. These are catalogued in the check list of Session Laws. A further omission is the location of all copies of a given record or source. In some cases, this would run as high as twenty copies. In all cases the standard law and historical libraries in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus are listed. Other locations are shown depending upon the rarity of the imprint. A debt of gratitude is owed Chief Justice C. T. Marshall of Ohio who first explored this field in his History of the Courts and Lawyers of Ohio (1934), Vol. III, pg. 643. Next came Douglas C. McMurtrie of Chicago in the check list of Ohio Imprints (1941). Mr. McMurtrie and another scholar, many years ago, started me on this project. The other was Dean Zimmerman of Cleveland who knew more about Ohio law books than anyone else, although not a lawyer. I regret that I cannot offer this survey to each of them, since all three are gone. In lieu, I tender the wreath, as to all victors. To the many librarians who have helped me over the years, I return my grateful thanks. But here again some who were most generous have departed. https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/clevstlrev/vol17/iss3/19 2 SOURCES OF OHIO LAW TO 1850 RECORDS AND SOURCES RELATING TO OHIO LAW I.

    THE COLOR LINE IN OHIO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 1829-1890 DISSERTATION Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By LEONARD ERNEST ERICKSON, B. A., M. A, ****** The Ohio State University I359 Approved Adviser College of Education ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is not the work of the author alone, of course, but represents the contributions of many persons. While it is impossible perhaps to mention every­ one who has helped, certain officials and other persons are especially prominent in my memory for their encouragement and assistance during the course of my research. I would like to express my appreciation for the aid I have received from the clerks of the school boards at Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, and Warren, and from the Superintendent of Schools at Athens. In a similar manner I am indebted for the courtesies extended to me by the librarians at the Western Reserve Historical Society, the Ohio State Library, the Ohio Supreme Court Library, Wilberforce University, and Drake University. I am especially grateful to certain librarians for the patience and literally hours of service, even beyond the high level customary in that profession. They are Mr. Russell Dozer of the Ohio State University; Mrs. Alice P. Hook of the Historical and Philosophical Society; and Mrs. Elizabeth R. Martin, Miss Prances Goudy, Mrs, Marion Bates, and Mr. George Kirk of the Ohio Historical Society. ii Ill Much of the time for the research Involved In this study was made possible by a very generous fellowship granted for the year 1956 -1 9 5 7, for which I am Indebted to the Graduate School of the Ohio State University.

The court pointed out, however, that no heir at law was united in interest with executrix or the legatee,60 and that none of the three originally named heirs at law had ever been served at all, so that there was no need to determine whether service on one of them would have satisfied the statute as to the other two or as to those not even named. Furthermore, the statute only applies to defendants, and its plain provisions cannot be avoided by making defendants into plaintiffs, after the limitation had expired.

  • Political Parties, Interest Groups, and Elections in Ohio
    Chapter 8 Political Parties, Interest Groups, and Elections in Ohio Major and Minor Parties in Ohio Ohio has a very rich history of strong political parties. The Ohio Democratic Party is older than the Republican Party, having its origins in the foundingdistribute period of the state. Initially, a party known as the Federalists served as the main rival to the Dem- ocratic Party (or the Democratic or Jeffersonian Republicans,or as they were sometimes know). As the Federalist Party faded, the Whig Party emerged as the opponent of the Democrats.1 The Whigs were strong in the “Western Reserve” part of the state, which is the northeast corner of Ohio. The Whig Party held to strong abolitionist views and so served as the natural core for the emergence of Republican Party in Ohio in the 1850s. post, Beyond the Democrats and the Republicans, minor political parties have struggled to gain ballot access and sustain their legal status in Ohio. In the 2012 general election, no minor parties received even 1 percent of the vote, although the Libertarian Party presidential candidate came close, receiving .89 percent of the popular vote. Among thecopy, other minor parties, the Socialist Party presidential can- didate received .05 percent of the vote, while the Constitution Party received .15 percent and the Green Party received .33 percent. Even thoughnot third parties do not currently have much hope for winning the plurality of the vote necessary to actually be awarded an office in Ohio, they can affect a close election by siphoning off votes that might otherwise go to one of the majorDo party candidates.

  • Chapter 1 the Constitutional Framework of Ohio State Government
    Chapter 1 The Constitutional Framework of Ohio State Government Image courtesy of the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board Advisory and Review Square Capitol the of courtesy Image Statehouse Map Room What is a Constitution? A constitution is the fundamental law of a state or nation. It is a written document agreed to by the people and thus derives its authority from those it governs. A constitution establishes the nature and character of the state or national government. It organizes government into various branches, prescribes their powers, and specifies the extent to which these powers may be exercised. The Ohio Constitution is the fundamental law of Ohio and is subject only to the restrictions of the United States Constitution, acts of Congress, and international treaties to which the United States is a party. It may be changed only by voter approval of proposed amendments. Like the United States Constitution, the Ohio Constitution organizes government into three separate branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. Each branch is independent of the other two and has defined powers and responsibilities. All laws enacted by the legislative branch must comply with the Constitution’s provisions; those that do not are unenforceable. LSC A Guidebook for Ohio Legislators Page | 1 Chapter 1: The Constitutional Framework of the Ohio State Government Ohio’s first constitution was approved by Congress in 1802 as a first step to Ohio’s admission to the Union as a state. Ohio’s second constitution, the Constitution of 1851, as subsequently amended, is today’s fundamental law of Ohio. A constitution is the fundamental law of a state or nation.

As a resident of Goochland County, William requested land on Pedlar River, a branch of James River.
