Does anyone know the dates when each family study was compiled by Helen and Kenneth Reeves? I have the one for my family - James Tabor. I was wondering how recently it was written, because a reference is made in the study to an individual who contributed some of the information contained within it. I would like to try to contact her, but I am not sure she is still living. Thanks. Debbie

The Kentucky Department of Health has put the Death Records on line from 1911 to present. When you search use "METAPHONE" rather than "exact" spelling. That way you will pick up mispellings. Have fun ! http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ky/death/search.cgi Sarah Clevenger

Posted on: Brown County In. Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Brown?read=682 Surname: ROBERTSON ------------------------- HARRIET ROBERTSON, the daughter of ROBERT and SUSAN (HOOD) ROBERTSON, married Harrison WEATHERMAN in Brown County on November 5, 1850. Harriet (Robertson) Weatherman must have died before 1854, as Harrison Weatherman remarried on May 7, 1854 in Clay County, IN. There was one daughter SUSANNAH WEATHERMAN (born 1852) from the marriage of Harrison and Harriet. I have yet to discover the burial place for HARRIET (ROBERTSON) WEATHERMAN, and have no clue about what happened to SUSANNAH as she is last recorded in 1860 Harrison Twshp, Clay Co., IN Census.

Hello, Isaac Shipley was born Aug. 6, 1870, however, some records show Aug. 26, 1872. He was the son of Jesse W. Shipley and one of three wives, Sylvania Ann Crider. Siblings were *Catherine, born Sept. 24, 1863, *Mary (Polly), born Dec. 3, 1866, *Levi, born Sept. 10, 1868, died 1946, buried in Bridgeport Cemetery. *Ellender, born April 23, 1872. Some records show April 3, 1871, *James Jacob (Jake), born April 6, 1875, *Charles, born Jan 1, 1876, *Nora, born Dec. 20, 1877, *Florence Ninerva, born June 25, 1879 and *Jesse W. Jr., born May 8, 1881. The earliest we find Isaac was on a tax list in Knox County, Kentucky in 1818. He owned two horses valued at $40.00. Next, we find Isaac in 1830 in Salt Creek Township in Jackson County, Indiana. Brown County was not created until 1836. He didn't move, but the county lines changed. He does not appear on the 1840 Census and is believed to have died by that time. Elizabeth was head of the household in Brown County in 1840. Elizabeth was his widow and I believe that Polly was a nickname and not a surname. According to Census, as best as can be figured, Isaac and Elizabeth's children were *Hiram, born 1811 *Margaret, born 1812 *Jesse, born 1821 *Mary, born 1825 *John, born 1826 *Nelson, born 1828 *Samuel J., born 1834 There may have been other children between Margaret and Jesse because of the ten year spacing there. Also, Elizabeth may have been a second wife, but no proof of this. Isaac died after 1834 and before 1840. Elizabeth raised the family alone. A trememdous struggle. By 1860, Elizabeth was living in Bartholomew County, which was also formed from Jackson and Brown Counties. By the 1870 Census, she was gone. She probably died by that time. The Bridgeport Cemetery has many Shipley burials. I believe this cemetery is in Brown County There is a Shipley Cemetery in Washington Township in Brown County. Jesse (Isaac and Elizabeth's son) is buried there. I don't know where Isaac and Elizabeth are buried. The Shipley Cemetery sounds like a good bet, but I don't know for sure. Hope this helps. Good luck..

Does anyone have information on the death date and place of Elizabeth/Betsy Hall, daughter of Jesse Hall of Brown County, IN who married Hiram Stout, Elihu Brown and a Mr. Walker? I believe she and Elihu lived in Douglas County, MO and raised several children. I believe Hiram Stout was an early settler in Douglas County, MO so Elizabeth/Betsy must have been with him when he came. Were there Stout children? When did Hiram die and where? It appears she married a Mr. Walker in Douglas County, MO after Elihu's death. When did Elihu die and where is he buried? Thanks--all replies are sincerely appreciated. Helen Whannel
