I am related to the Barcuses also. My great-great-great grandfather was William Barkhurst who came from Maryland to Ohio about 1800. However, he died en route. His family continued on in the wagon train and settled in eastern Ohio near Wheeling, WV. He had five sons whom I am told shortened the name to "Barcus." One of these sons is my ancestor -- Jesse Barkhurst/Barcus. The original name was DeBarresuse and they were originally from Normandy and came to Britain with the army of William the Conqueror. In the time of Henry V (1413-23) the name was anglicized to DeBarcus. Later the prefix was dropped during the civil war between King Charles and Parliament (1644) by a London merchant, Sir John Barcus.

Smith, as I have been looking for Elijah's father and mother for over four years. Elijah M. Smith was married to Lucinda T. Henderson (not Lucinda Walker as reported in the Hamblin book) on 16 Jun 1827 in Augusta County, Virginia. They had ten children, including James David Smith (my ancestor) and Elijah Monroe Smith. James married Eliza Ann Summa, daughter of George Summa and Jerutia Daily, on 3 Aug 1856 in Brown County, Indiana. Elijah, Lucinda, Eliza and James are buried in the Taggert Cemetery in Brown Co. (Happy to send you photos of their graves) If you would like info regarding the ancestors in the Henderson and Summa lines, let me know.

Try the LDS website - familysearch- James A. Fuller b. 1849 Hendricks Co, IN m. Mary Elizabeth Carter b. 1853 on 13 Oct 1872. If you can find out the month of his death and the county in which he died, go to usgenweb and find the county in which he died, and email the librarian of the library in that county about getting a copy of his obituary. There is usually a small fee, but the other day I received a scanned obit the day after I requested it from an OK library.
