Sallye: I'm still here and everything is OK. Thanks for inquiring. Actually, I have been working on my web page, and should be publishing an update later this afternoon. I will be adding the 1820 to 1840 census returns, Behymers in the Military, 3 new transcribed wills (Jacob Behymer, William Robb and Henry Slingluff) and some marriage records/bonds for some Ohio and Virginia counties. I didn't get the information on Benjamin in Fountain County, IN and would love to have it or anything you find on the Rardin Cemetery. BTW: I found a bit of information in the deeds that I have been methodically going through (thanks to a contribution from Cliff Trimble). I know you said you had already done that but sometimes another set of eyes picks up on something that may have been overlooked. This one is dated 1 May 1814. In it, John and Levi B. Hymer and Chapman Archer are listed as legal heirs of John B. Hymer, deceased with John and Levi selling land to Chapman Archer. The interesting part is that the signatures at the bottom of the page are as follows: John BeckelsHymer and Levi BHymer. The John Beckelshymer who ended up in Fulton County, IL always went by Beckelshymer, so I think this is circumstantial evidence that he was Levi's brother. I wonder if John, Jr may have been married to someone prior to Barbara Weddle and had a son named John? Had you seen this deed? Susan Debrunner has graciously sent me a contribution as well with which to order another 10 microfilms. I think the item above indicates the importance of going through these deeds one more time. One last thing: I received in the mail yesterday, the military records on several Behymers that enlisted in the War of 1812 (including the John and Levi indicated above) that I had ordered from the National Archives. They consist only of a couple of pages each at most and indicate the date of enlistment and discharge, muster rolls for pay, etc. The part that I was most encouraged by was that I had included a copy of the index cards which I had looked up at the Santa Monica LDS family history center, along with the National Archives form, so it was not so easy for them to just return the form to me indicating that they couldn't find anything. I plan now on sending them the stuff they sent me on John to see if with that they can now find a widow's pension record on him. Regards...
