    3. I haven't posted for a while, so here goes......my futile search for my Indiana ancestors. They were: Allen D. Moore - born ca 1852 in Kentucky - died in Adams County on June 4, 1915. His wife: Savannah (Smith) Moore - born ca 1852 in unknown Indiana County (probably either in Randolph, Rush or Fayette County). Married Allen Moore in Howard County, Indiana on 13 January, 1881. I have no information on where or when Savannah died, but believe it to have been either Howard or Adams County, after 1892 and probably before 1900. Jane (Mullis) Smith - Mother of Savannah. Born in North Carolina, ca 1830. Married Thomas Smith in Fayette County, Indiana on 06 April, 1848. Thomas Smith probably died in Howard County before 1880. Nancy Mullis - mother of Jane, grandmother of Savannah. Born in unknown Tennessee County ca 1810. This lady is my brick wall since I have no records at all showing who her husband was and I do not know her birth name. Edith (Moore) Fisher - daughter of Allen and Savannah Moore. Born in Howard County in May, 1890. Married Clifton L. Fisher in Adams County (Decatur) in May, 1911. Lived in Wells County in 1913 when her son was born and probably moved to Lawrence County, Illinois shortly after that. Clifton Fisher was killed in an oil field accident in 1914. It is believed that Edith returned to Wells County and was living in Bluffton when her father died in 1915. I believe she never remarried, and she died sometime before 1951.....probably in the Adams-Wells-Jay County area. Alice Moore - daughter of Allen and Savannah Moore. Born in Howard County in April, 1882. Was still living in 1915 when her father died. I have no other information on her. Walter D. Moore - son of Allen and Savannah Moore. Born in Howard County, Indiana ca 1886. Lived in Adams County, but I don't know what years. May have been married in that area prior to 1921. He died in Iowa in 1963. I have no information that indicates that Jane (Mullis) Smith and her mother, Nancy Mullis, were ever in Adams County. The last record I have of them is the 1880 Howard County census. However, I've been unable to find a death record for either one of them in that county, and knowing that the Moore's moved to Adams County and that these folks stayed pretty close to each other, there's a chance that they also moved to Adams County. Any information on these people would earn my undying gratitude. Julie
