Hello and Happy Thanksgiving. There are now 29 subscribers to this list, 16 on the email list, and 13 on the digest list. Although some of you have sent information about yourself, I'd like to ask each of you to send a message to the list giving your name, email address and Adams Co. surnames of interest in the following format: Your Name, email address SURNAME1, SURNAME2, SURNAME3 I'll keep track of them and compile a list, which I'll add to with each new subscriber. Periodically I'll send out this list to you and any new members so we can all keep track of each other, and hopefully find new contacts. Since I asked, I'll start: Tim Singleton, tsingleton@iclub.org SINGLETON, MANN, KIESS, MCCONNEHEY, WARNER I'd like to ask that you not send unsolicited file attachments to the list, especially large ones. File attachments can cause problems with some internet providers. And large attachments can really clog up your message download if you happen to be on digest mode. File attachments are best sent directly to individuals concerned upon request, rather than to the entire list. Thanks for your understanding. I just spent two days in Decatur doing some research on the Mann and McConnehey lines. For those who plan to go, note that all the wills and administratorships are now in the Adams Co. Law Enforcement Center at the corner of First and Adams Streets. You can have direct access to all the books and boxes with plenty of table space to work. Birth and Death records are in the old Decatur High School, third floor, with a great staff to assist you. Marriage records remain in the Clerk's office in the Courthouse. I find that my printing is slow, so I take a recorder with me to dictate records, spelling names and dictating puctuation. Then, as I started this morning, I transcribe my recorded notes to a word processor. That seems to make more efficient use of time, for me, when searching for records.

I just returned home from my road trip, and I'm glad to see the list getting used already. I expected that it might take a while. I haven't had a chance to check to see the number of subscribers yet. I'll do that in the next couple of days and let you know. In the meantime, enjoy. And remember that when you reply to a message on this list, your reply goes to everyone. If you want a private reply, be sure the TO: portion of your message contains only that persons address. And when you use the REPLY funtion, the entire message you received will be sent as part of the reply unless you edit it, which normally is recommended. Enjoy!

I have a bit more on the Tinkhams, it came from the 1979 History of Adams Co. If you have more on this line please contact me. Margaret Scoles & Dennison Tinkham raised my ancestor Isaac Franklin Scoles & his sister Mary Myrtle Scoles after their parents died of TB just 11 days apart in 1877. They had moved to Monroe Co., WI but when they became ill tried to get back to Adams Co., IN. Nancy Major Scoles didn't make it, Sylvester did but died soon after. I'm very interested in any stories that may have been handed down in the Tinkham family abt my own Scoles ancestors.

Hi All, Do any of the following persons look familiar? Joseph is my husband's g-g-grandfather. We seem to have reached a wall with him. Most of the people below were in the Decatur, Ind area. I have visited Decatur twice to locate information, but time was short both times. Most of the birth, marriage, & death info was gleaned from those trips.

Hi, all- Just signed on, thought I'd introduce myself. My Robisons moved into Adams County, Section 26, Monroe Twp., northeast of Berne, in 1865. My Great-Grandfather John R. ROBISON moved there from Crawford Co. Ohio with his wife Sarah Nelson KERR Robison and four children. Several members of her KERR family also moved to Adams County during the same period. Many of them are buried in the Backesto Cemetery. My Grandfather Orrin Melville ROBISON was born in Adams Co. in 1872. He married Daisy Mae TEETER, who was born at her father's farm in Section 6 of Jefferson Twp., east and a little south of Berne. Her father was John Fremont TEETER, and her grandfather was Daniel Paul TEETER, who moved into Adams Co. from Darke Co. Ohio in 1870. The above is offered to establish my roots in Adams Co. I am desperate for information about my Great-Grandmother Martha Ann BAKER, wife of John Fremont Teeter. Martha was born 26 Dec 1855 and died 14 Jun 1901. She and John Teeter married 19 Aug 1880. Her father was Jacob BAKER, and her mother was Hannah CONKLE (Kunkle?). Hannah died 9 Nov 1863 and is buried in a cemetery just a little northeast of Ceylon, i.e. northeast of Geneva. I have no other information on my Bakers, and would very much like to know more. John R. Robison's eldest daughter was Rosanna Jane (Jennie) Robison, who married George W. GATES. Jennie was George's 2nd wife. His first wife was Sarah CRAWFORD. George was born in 1837 and died in 1922. Jennie was born in 1857 and died in 1930. I need exact dates for both of them. They lived in Monroe Twp. just east of the Springhill Church. Any info on ROBISON, TEETER, BAKER, GATES, KERR, CONKLE, et.al. will be deeply appreciated. And thanks to Tim Singleton for starting this list.

Hey Adams Co Researchers, Tim has done a great job creating the Adams County, IN website. Now a listserv! This is a great idea. On my webpage under Hocker are a lot of pictures which are taken at around 1900 in Monroe, IN. There are lots of people in the pictures who I cannot identify. I would love to hear from any Adams County, IN people who may find some of their family in the pictures.
