Hello Tim and all. I'm attempting to locate information on Harriet E. DeGarmo who lived in Adams County, Indiana around 1880. She (Harriet) married Harry M. Daniels on September 28, 1878 in Adams County, Indiana. I know it is a long shot, but have any of you encountered these names in your research, or are you related to either of these people? Basically I'm researching the DeGarmo surname. On my previous posting I indicated Ohio, but it should have read Indiana. Any and all correspondence is appreciated. Bill DeGarmo

Hi Folks, I was in Decatur doing some of my family research in May and just finished transcribing everything. I have a number of birth and death records for the individuals below. If you have an interest in any of them please: 1. email me (tsingleton@iclub.org) and tell me which individual 2. be patient for my response - we're expecting a new grand child any time 3. remember that I've tried to be as accurate as possible, but these records will be secondary data sources to you unless you examine the original records yourself. Here goes: Birth Certificates (extracts): (Male) Debolt (Debold)(1896) Dora Grandstaff Herald Kirsch Milo Mumma (Male) Newfer (1891) Brice Roop Macie A. Singleton Mary Letitia Singleton John V.

I am leaning on a memory that has to go back over forty years, so be careful how much validity you put on this little bit of information. I remember Goldie Roop. She lived on the corner of Ninth & Nuttman. Actually she lived on the second lot to the west of the intersection, the corner lot which she also owned was vacant. She had at least three daughters that I can remember. One was Bonnie who married Bruce Baughn. They still lived in Decatur in 1989 when I moved to SC. Then their were twin girls, I can't remember the one twins name but I think she may have married a boy by the name of Hott who lived on tenth St. The other twin was very slow and never attended school. I am pretty sure that she is the girl you referred to as Rosemarie. Then, on the back of the vacant lot there was a very small house that a single man (I don't know if he was single, marr or divorced) lived in. The only name I ever heard him called was a nickname (Motzy sic). But somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to recall that his name was Harley. I don't know if this information is of any help, I just offer it up out of the fog of my very bad memory. Dan Shackley --part1_60c9423.24a7e6f9_boundary--

Hey!!! Haven't any of you guys looked in the 1959 Adams County History for information on the Odle Family? Mrs. Earl (Eileen) Dawson, 221 S. First Street, Decatur, IN 46733, (I don't think she's on e-mail) one of the family story editors, wrote the following: "William Odell, born about 1715, settled near Randallstown, Baltimore Co., Maryland, where he owned several tracts of land at the time of his death in 1749. Elizabeth, his wife, filed an account in the Office of the Register of Wills, Baltimore Co., listing their children and year of birth: [1.] Mary, 1735 [2.] John, 1737 [3.] William, 1738 [4.] Walter, 1742 [5.] Elizabeth, 1744 [6.] Richard, 1745 [7.] Rignal, 1746 [8.] Talbot, 1748. [3.] "William Odle-Odell, Jr. son of William, was married in Baltimore Co. to Asenath, the daughter of John and Asenath Owings. They moved west, locating in Hampshire Co., {W.] Va., where William, in 1783, purchases two tracts of land, 173 acres in each tract, on Allegheny Mountain. "John Odle, son of William, Jr., was born in 1764, settled in the Scioto Valley of Ross Co., Ohio, in 1797. John was active in civil duties, being a justice of peace in Ross Co. He moved to Randolph Co., Ind., in 1819 and here held the office of county treasurer, and for many years was a justice of peace. He owned a combined hotel and tavern in the city of Winchester, with the earl post office and county library being located in the hotel. John died in 1833, and Nancy, his wife, in 1847. "Caleb, son of John, was born in Hampshire Co., [W.] Va. He enlisted in the War of 1812, at Ross Co., Ohio, serving as a fourth corporal. In 1815, Caleb married Hester, daughter of Nathan and Harriet (Simpson) Brown. During their residence in Ohio, they lived in Jackson Co., the same neighborhood as Hester's family, until 1825, when they followed Caleb's father to Randoph Co. [IN} where Hester died. Caleb and Hester had five children, but only three are known: Zephaniah, Nathan B. and Mary. Caleb married his second wife, Irena Franklin, in 1834, and eventually moved to Newton Co., Ind. where the 80 acres of land was located which the government gave him for his service in the War of 1812. Caleb died in 1825, being buried in Iroquoise Co. Ill. Caleb and irena had five children: John Wesley, (1836-1921); Anthony R., (1839-1890); James Harvey (1846-1932); Caleb William (1850-?) and Newton Edmund (1852-?). He also have five sons who served in the Civil War: Nathan B., Zephaniah B., Anthony R., John W., and James H. "Zephaniah B.the son of Caleb, rode on horseback with his sister, Mary, from Deerfield [Randolph Co.] to Adams Co., where he settled in Washington Twp. His siter, Mary, went to work as a housekeeper for Joel Roe, an early pioneer settler in Washington Twp. whose wife had recently died leaving him with an infant daughter. During Aug. of 1841m Mary was united in marriage to Joel and remained his housekeeper throughout his life. (See Roe Family.) "In 1838, Zephaniah married Mary, daughter of Perry and Sarah (Archbold) Andrews. They were the parents of seven children, but only two lived an average life span. Mailinda and Sarah died young, and three sons, Nathan, Perry, and Caleb, along with their father Zephaniah, were all killed in the Civil War. Zephaniah died at Memphis, Tenn., of smallpox. Mary, his wife, died in 1857. Hester married James Wesley Smith and Aaron was raised by Perry Andrews....." The article goes on to list the children of Aaron, their wifes and husbands-none of the husbands were Hammer--Spade was the closest!!! Nor are any Hammers listed in the index. Think Rhonda needs to continue in Randolph and Newton counties, rather than Adams!

Dave, I can't remember if I have asked you about the Ruby family (the mind is a terrible thing to lose!) I have Elizabeth Ruby (c1840-1873) m. John ROOP (1829-1900) John Ruby (no dates) m. Margaret ROOP (b. c1835) Martha Ruby (no dates) m. J. Lewis ROOP (1860-1941) I would love to know how these Ruby family members are connected. The only Price I have is Marietta Price (d. 1926), d/o Joseph and Rebecca (Cramer) Price. Marietta m. James M. Roop (1853-1941). Most of all these folks lived in Van Wert Co, OH or Adams Co, IN, but the Roops came from Huntingdon Co, PA. Hope someone recognizes a couple of these names! Margie R.

Good Morning: I have been lurking for several months, just getting up my nerve to actually post. My dad was born and raised in Geneva and I spent many wonderful times there, but now I am exiled in frozen Brainerd, MN. I am new to genealogy and am hooked. The people I am looking for information on are my great grandfather Fredrick Mathys (married to Lydia Klopfenstien, who I have a lot of info on), and my grandmother's parents, their name was RUNKEL and were from VA and moved to the Berne Geneva area. They are buried in Bunker Hill Cemetary. It is strange, but none of my living relatives know their first names (his might be Jospeh). If anyone has any information to pass on I would appreciate it, and would be glad to do any searching in central MN. Thank you, Pam (Mathys) Kalar === Knowledge is of two kinds.
