Hi Folks, One more problem has cropped up. In order to send a message to any Rootsweb list (such as the Adams Co. list) you must be sure that you are sending the message in plain text mode, not HTML (the language used for web pages). For those of you using Outlook Express, there's an option under Tools, Options, Send for using plain text for sending message. Other email programs have similar choices, I think. Here's the reason (from the Rootsweb staff): We've had to institute this policy because of the problems that accompany these fancy mail formats. Some people don't have mail programs that are capable of processing the special file formats. Even among those who do, different mail programs handle these special formats in very different and confusing ways. HTML messages pose special problems to our digested mailing lists. Most of all, HTML-ified mail and attachments place a considerable burden on RootsWeb's overworked machines. All in all, mail in this format produces a lot of problems for RootsWeb's servers and subscribers, so we find it's best just to use plain text. -- The RootsWeb staff Thanks for your help in this matter.

And now NUCMC is online, meaning that you can >do a search on your family names, place names, and institutions connected >with the people you are researching.

ADAMS CO., INDIANA INDEX OF DEEDS SCOLES, ANDREW, July 19, 1837. 160 acres nw 1/2, 29-26-15, 16 Jan 1918 Bk 46 p.488 SCOLES, GEORGE, Oct. 20, 1837, 69.40 acres E1/2, SE1/4.15-25-15, 4 March 1890 Book 46, p. 435-436 Andrew Scoles was my ancestor. He bought this land in Adams Co & soon after moved from Knox Co., OH. My BIG question is who was George? Andrews son George was only 17 & still living w/ his parents until he married in 1850. I really don't believe this is his son. Also a copy of this land deed says "George Scoles, of Mercer Co., OH". Andrew's said "of Knox Co., OH". So agian, it's not his son. I believe it was his brother but have no proof. Andrew is the only Scoles in Adams Co for the 1840 census, there is a George up in Kosciousko where other Scoles families went. Again no PROVEN connection to my Andrew. Andrew died 1855 & I've been told there is no record of a will or estate settlement. He had a lot of land so this is hard to believe. Thanks for any clues! Cindy

Rebecca Durbin Scoles daughter of Adams CO pioneer Andrew Wesly Scoles married 4/7/1850 as her first husband Ira Blossom. They had 1 child, also named Ancil, however the baby & Ancil SR. both died of cholera in 1853. Rebecca married again in 1855 to Branson Roebuck & had 4 more children. 3 of them survived to adulthood, possibly only 2 as I have no information. Rebecca was born 1828 in Knox CO., OH. Her parents had lived there from 1820 to 1837 when they moved to Blue Creek Twp. She died Feb. 1910 probably just over the state line in Mercer CO., OH.

This summer I went to Germany and located the records of the GERKE family that settled in Adams County in the 1830's. The records are in the church (Lutheran) of Arenshorst, close to Bohmte--which WAS Hannover and is now over the border in Osnabruck. The LDS have films of these records! Johann Friedrich Gerke and Anna Maria Juliana [Julia] Kolckmeyer were married in the Arenshorst chapel in 1798. Son Kphan Diederich [Diederich] was baptised in Arenshorst on 16 February,1808. Son Johann Christoph (Christopher) was confirmed at Arenshorst on 17 April 1825. Johann Heinrich Ludwig [Louis] was confirmed in 1829 in Arenshorst. Anyone wishing more information, please contact me. Jeanette Sherbondy

Does anyone have anything on a Peter Smith who was born in Ohio ca. 1866? On 29 Apr 1909 he became the 2nd husband of Jennette Anna (Runyon) Gaylord, in Adams County. He, apparently, died somewhere in southern Michigan. Norman Runyon
