There were at least 4 Uriah Hicks in Clay Co. Have you looked at the census to determine who of these Uriah's you are descended from? They may have a census on line. Barb If you were asking me who I was descended from, the Hicks line is in my Adamson family and I have known Harriet Hicks who is descended from Uriah for 36 years.

I need Amy Hicks who married Henry Brantley Stevens.

Sorry to all that it is taking me so long to get the last half of the book scanned in. Summer has just been too much fun with my toddlers! Bike rides, wading pools, parks, zoos etc. We plan to spend next week at home so I hope to start sending 5-6 pages daily that week, more if I can. Thanks for your patience.

In a message dated 7/5/00 7:11:09 AM Pacific Daylight Time, bass103@juno.com writes: << how do you order this microfilm and how do you read it at home.? >> You find your nearest LDS Family History Center (list available at http://www.familysearch.org) and go there and look up the microfilm numbers, order the film and look at on their readers. Ac tually, I think the catalog is available at the site, too, so you can see what they have before you even get there.You can also order the census on film.

I did not answer you about the Family History Center but it is a Library connected to the Morman Church. Barb

Selma, If you only have one day in Clay County, I suggest that you do some prior research at the Family History Center before you go, or after you come back. All the records that are available for early Clay County or on microfilm and can be ordered, where you can view them in comfort and without a rush. what you or there, try to look at things that are not available on film, such as cemetery records, the surname files at the library, any old newspapers that might be there, and find out if there are separate books for asylum criminals. I have seen this type of record put into a separate book in a couple of places, otherwise they are usually included in the court records as they go along. You might also look for inventories and other types of probate records which were not filmed.

how do you order this microfilm and how do you read it at home.?

Selma, I apparently failed to save your original posting, but I think you asked about visiting Clay County's courthouse and where else to look. Someone else mentioned renting microfilm. I don't know where you live, but if you are served by a public library with a microfilm viewer, the library can order census microfilms for wherever in the USA, ship passenger lists, and probably lots of other things I'm not aware of. My public library has ordered in microfilm for me for information not covered by their own microfilm. It costs $3.75 a roll, and comes in a couple of weeks from a genealogical information rental company. The library has a catalog of what is available. I hope you are near a library that can do this also. There is no way you could view it at home unless you are the rare genealogist that buys her own microfilm viewer. I recently read a book where the man said he bought his own viewer, but the only ones I have ever seen are huge machines. Can't even imagine what that would cost! Right now I have ordered microfilm for the 1870 census of Monroe County, as my county library does not own it yet. I have visited the Clay County Courthouse and looked at old records there. They pretty much just turn you loose - you're own your own to find things. They close at 4 p.m. The last time I made copies there they charged $1.00 per page - so I didn't make many. I presume the charge is still the same. The Brazil Public Library which is one block north off Highway 40 on Walnut St. has an annex building where some genealogical information can be found. They have some microfilms too - census records, newspapers, WPA records, etc. There is a cemetery index to who is buried where, and some books that contain transcriptions of tombstone inscriptions. However, if your ancestor, as some of mine did, had no headstone, you can't find much that way. Even so, if they are buried in a local cemetery, it's sometimes quite a challenge to find the stone even if you know there is one! Then there is the Clay County Genealogical Society in Center Point Indiana, not very far away. They are open on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday afternoons from 1-4 p.m. They have LOTS of resources. Their website is: http://www.ticz.com/~ccgslib/ I'm sure others on this list will know even more to tell you. Believe me, you rarely accomplish even a third of what you hope to in one day, unless you are really lucky! Those who advise doing as much as possible from a distance are right, believe me! I hired a researcher in Tipton County for some family there, and what she found for about $15.00 was wonderful compared to my lack of time and the expense to travel there. The Clay County Genealogical Society has researchers too, although I have never checked to see what they charge. Good luck! Laura E.
