Hello from a new lister, a descendant of Clay Co, IN. :-) Actually, I have a couple of questions that may seem pretty silly: What is the county seat of Clay Co? Is it Clay City or Brazil or neither? :-) And, if someone out there is good with directions, what is the quickest way to come from Hannibal, Marion Co, MO to the county seat of Clay Co, IN? I don't live in Hannibal, but I will be there for some research before I go on my way to Westfield, IN.

Go to www.familysearch.com and search for Henry CRAIG Clay Co., IN; in their 1880 census. You will be able to determine who their neighbors were etc. It is odd that this Henry CRAIG lists himself as 'son' but the household doesn't contain either 'father' or 'mother'. Go to www.census-online.com and there may be an index to earlier census records. Indiana Marriage Records indicate a Henry W. Craig married a Margaret Ryan 29 May 1885. ********************************* Henry CRAIG Household Male ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Other Information: Birth Year <1860> Birthplace IN Age 20 Occupation Laborer Marital Status S <Single> Race W <White> Head of Household Henry CRAIG Relation Son Father's Birthplace PA Mother's Birthplace PA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Source Information: Census Place Harrison, Clay, Indiana Family History Library Film 1254270 NA Film Number T9-0270 Page Number 565B ************************ Household: Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Henry CRAIG Son S Male W 20 IN Laborer PA PA Earn CRAIG Son S Male W 18 IN Laborer PA PA Samuel Martin CRAIG Son S Male W 17 IN Laborer PA PA Annie M.
