Capt. William Warren, of Marietta, furnishes us the following list of persons aged 70 years and upwards, who live in this immediate vicinity, principally in Marietta township. This list is as near perfect as it is possible to make it - some few being omitted at their own request. It required a great deal of labor to complete it, and it will be highly appreciated by our readers:
