Hi Ken, I've been following the e-mails regarding the Dinsmore's and have a question. My ancestor Adam Dinsmore was born in 1778 in Ireland. He married in 1806 to Grizzy DeBusk in Blount Co TN. He moved to Vermillion Co IN in the late 1830's and died in Vermillion Co in 1854. The only census I find him on is the 1850 Vermillion Co census where he states he was born in Ireland. There is no public record of his marriage - just private which I take to mean bible. I'm trying to determine who Adam's father was. At first I thought it might be the Adam who emigrated from County Donegal abt. 1773. They went to NC and then to Sullivan & Green Counties TN, then finally on to Alabama, but it couldn't be my Adam because the census states he was born in Ireland. Are you familiar with this branch of the Dinsmores? Regards, Elinor Kerklingh Svihla [email protected] --
