I have posted this info on my James Faris before. I am going to go in a different direction this time, and ask any of you Faris researchers that have the book "The Faris Family From Washington Co., IN" to looks for my Faris names. Then if there is anything that might be of interest to me, please e-mail me. The reason I am so interested in the Faris's of this particular area is that My Jane Faris married a John Markwell and some of the Markwell family settled in this area. I was hoping to find that maybe the two families traveled together to the area. I know this will involve precious time on your part, but I would really appreciate the look-up! Thank-you! Dixie A.
