Still looking for John CLOYD who married two BOATMAN sisters ... John is listed in the 1850 census as being 50 years of age. Any and all help will be appreciated ... Thanks Charlene email: mihnbu@aol.com

If you will email me personally I will try to help you.. bass103@juno.com Mary Jane Mace married John A Modesitt and six known children and possibly two more... of course now these children would be Modesitt surname.. but there are several Mace surnames persons in Clay County .. I met Lewis Mace a few years ago when his daughter was up from New Albany Indiana and Lew was close to 90 then.. of course he is dead now but his daughter has lots on the mace family. I will try to find an address for you to contact her (daughter) if we connect.. Mary Jane was the youngest child in the family I think Lew told me but she would have been his aunt..

Posted on: Clay County, In Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Clay?read=927 Surname: Mace, Johnson ------------------------- I'm looking for information on my branch of the mace family. My grandmother tells me that her grandmother was named Ellen/Ella Mace. (born in Indiana ca. 1859-1861). She was married to Edward Johnson (parents Levi and Rachel Johnson of Putnam County) in 1882 and they were living in Brazil in the 1900 and 1910 Census. Her children with Edward were Ibbie and Irene. She also had two daughters by a previous marriage, Hulda (married name Mullinex?)and Minnie (married name Reynolds?). Her father was born in Tennesse and her mother in Indiana. In the 1860 and 1870 Census I find a David (born in TN) and Margaret (born in IN) Mace who had a daughter of about the right age named Eliza. Can anyone link (or refute)these as the same person? From Edwards obituary, I also know that one of his sisters was married to Winfield Mace. (His parents, per the 1870 Census, were Robert and Louisa. His siblings were Philander, Clema, Leona, and David) Anyone know which sister he married? (Sarah, Micha, Eliza, Elisabeth and Rachel) Thanks in advance, Eleanor Peters

Posted on: Clay County, In Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Clay?read=926 Surname: ORMAN, LAWSON, MICHAEL ------------------------- Emma Jane Michael who might have been born in Greene Co., IN June 18, 1893 was not enrolled in the 1900 Census. She was the daughter of Lewis Newton and Nancy Catherine Lawson Michael. When did they move to the Clay City area of Clay County, IN? Emma married William "Bill" Orman in Clay County, IN in 1909. I am looking for proof of the place of birth for Emma. She died and is buried in Oxford, MI.

Marybeth, this is a natural progression. The mines in Dick Johnson township played out in early 1900s and new mines opened over in Vermillion County 1905-10 and thousands moved over there. It was a big migration. I have traced relatives through this migration. It takes lots of effort to pour through the 1910 or 1920 census of Vermillion county to find people. Don't know exactly what you expect to find in additional info. Most of these miners did not own property as they live in company temp housing or rented. So census WPA indexes and newpaper obits are about it. There were literally hunderds of mines in this area. I have never found any employment data from these mines. Clinton library has good materials if you are in the area. >Can someone point me in the right direction for finding information on >coal >miners? My William WILSON was a coal miner.

I just purchased the 1880 Clay County, IN census on disc. If you can give me the Township or County he lived in it would help me to find him. I do not have an index.

This may not be specific to your people, but a wonderful overall look at coal mining in southern Indiana is in a book produced by Linton-Stockton Junior High students l982-85 entitled THE COAL PROJECT. It is a gem of history and lore, and all the more so because youngsters produced it. I don't know how you can find a copy; check with area libraries. Contains l85 pages of facts, illustrations and personal interviews. I personally believe it should be reprinted and placed in all libraries. --Dixie Kline Richardson

Marybeth, I don't know if this will help you. My grandfather, Joseph Keelor, was also a coalminer, who also lived in Terre Haute, Dick Johnson Township. I have a receipt where he paid his union dues of $1.00 for may and June 1920 to Ruben Dowen Finley, (I believe, can't be sure of the spelling its hard to read.) of local union # 2646 U.M.W.of A. dated June 14 1920. I know he lived in Terere Haute as early as 1900, because he married my grandmother in that year in Terre Haute. I don't know which mine he worked in either. I don't know if this Union would have any records of Mr. Wilson . I imagine the union still exists. Its probably the United Mine Workers of America. Good Luck.

Hi again, Can someone point me in the right direction for finding information on coal miners? My William WILSON was a coal miner. I don't have any idea what mine(s) he worked at. He lived in Dick Johnson Township in 1900 & 1910. In 1920 shows up in Vermillion County. He died in Terre Haute in 1928. His obit says he was president of Miners' District No. 8 for five years and an international board member for three years. Thanks for your help. Marybeth (Wilson) Cookerly Goodman, MO

Hi All, Does anyone have access to an 1880 census that would do a look up for me? I am looking for William WILSON who was about 25 years old, born in Scotland and he would be single. Thanks for your help. Marybeth Goodman, MO
