Hi List: While cleaning out my genealogy files, I discovered a booklet by The Hoosier Heritage Press, 1971, The Encyclopedic Directory of Clay County, Indiana. This booklet gives "A List of the Householders of the County, Their Post-office Address, Occupation, Location, School District, Section Number, Township, Politics, Religion, Assessed Value of Real Estate, Nationality, Where Born, When Born, When (they) Came to Clay County." If anyone is interested if their surnames might be listed, please email me privately at Hoosier723@aol.com. This book also contains maps and photographs of some of the citizens of Clay County.

I'm trying to locate a Thomas CRAIG in 1860. Does anyone have access to the Indiana 1860 census index that would be willing to look up all of the Thomas Craig's on it and send me the info for them? I would truly appreciate it. Thank you in advance. Becky

Does anyone have more info on Isaac and Lucinda (Luther) Thomas who had a son Louis b. 6 Mar 1862, d. 18 Nov 1945, m. 11 Sept 1884 to Sarada Saulsberry and a daughter Telitha b. 19 July 1860, d. 22 Dec 1943, m. 12 Jan 1882 to William Jacob Saulsberry. Thanks for any help. Lynn Venafro

Those families out of Randolph County just keep complicating my life! I think the only way to find new facts is to do exactly as you are doing, keep the queries before the public. Other than the facts I sent earlier, I have nothing else on Bill Staley's wife! I will keep my eyes open for your family anyway. I have a Lawson family that after 30 years, a gentleman in Tennessee answered my query to tell me he has a land survey that shows Amos Lawson along with his brothers that ties Drury/Drewry Lawson to my gg grandfather. Mary

hi, Interesting how our paths keep crossing, isn't it? I wasn't really planning to track the Saulsberry family unless someone sent me a GEDCOM already searched out, but I just wondered about that discrepancy between William Jacob (b 1858) and the marriage date of the parents. Was he actually the child of someone else, are one or both dates wrong or ....? If you can add information to what I had gotten from Marchia years ago, would be happy to add to my collection of Luther descendants. I have been trying to be as thorough as I can for descendants of Christian and Jacob, came out to Indiana, sometimes hard to figure out who later descendats are.

Lou, William Nelson Staley was married to Sarah Ann Solsberry, September 11, 1884 in Clay County. Bill is buried near the Solsberry's in Cole Cemetery. He was the brother of my gr grandmother Sarah Jane Staley Orman I don't know which of his children might have been his. Do you need other information about him? I don't have much. Mary
