About HCGS

The Hamilton County Genealogical Society (HCGS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide educational programs to family history researchers and to preserve Hamilton County records.

Salmon P. Chase

Salmon P. Chase moved to Cincinnati at the age of twenty two to practice law. He became known for his defense of slaves attempting escape on the Underground Railroad. In Jones v. Van Zandt Chase argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that the Fugitive Slave Act was unconstitutional. He served as governor of Ohio and U.S. Senator, and in 1864 Chase was appointed by Abraham Lincoln as the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
