Numbered among the earnest workers that have ably assisted in transorming the original wilderness into a rich and fertile agricultural region is Isaac Miller, who has succeeded to the ownership of the homestead which his father, Christian Miller, redeemed from the forest. He was born November 2, 1838 in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, coming from honored patriotic stock, his great-grandfather on the paternal side having as a Revolutionary soldier fought at the battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. Jacob Miller, granfather of Isaac, was born in Carroll County, Pennsylvania and spent his entire life in his native state, being employed as a tiller of the soil. His wife survived him and died at ! the home of her son in law in Summit county, Ohio aged ninety two years. Born and reared in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, Christian Miller resided there until 1843. In that year, joining a colony of fifty people, all....then goes to page 387. There's a little more on page 388. On April 20, 1866, Mr. Miller married Mary S. Cuning who was born in Maryland December 15, 1839 but was reared in Darke county, Ohio where her mother settled after the death of her husband.

I've noticed many moves to Morgan Co., IL from Clay Co., IN, including families named Long, Sharp, Linville, Sturgeon, Kirkman among others. What was the lure of Morgan County? Does Clay County Genealogical Society have any letters from any family extolling Morgan Co., IL? Many, many of the moves occurred 1840-1860. Anyone have any ideas? Frank Sellers

The 3 children living with George and Julie Green in the 1900 census are: Jackson Twp., Clay Co., IN ED 12 SHt 8 Julia Lawson gr dau May 1890 10 yrs b IN Corbet Lawson gr son Sep 1892 7 yrs b IN Thomas Lawson gr son May 1895 yrs b IN Their parents are not in the Green home! Is Harold Green still participating on this list? I thought he might have Green family information that would help this lady. The Green's were in Van Buren Twp. in 1880 and Mahala is one of their children. Mary Gardner Decatur, GA

Rhoda's last name was McCullough. Jackson's mother was Martha Patricia Jennings. Andrew and Martha came to Putnam Co., IN from Shelby Co., KY. Mahala Green was the daughter of George and Julia Lawson. My Lawson line in Clay County was Nancy Catherine Lawson b 1852 in Monroe Co., IN. She married Lewis Newton Michael in Greene Co., and died in 1918 in Clay City, IN. Mary Gardner

Thank you Sharon for the help. I can use the marriage info to send for the marriage licenses from Clay Co. Hopefully they will have marriage applications too for all those dates. Jill

I can't connect to a Earnest Lawson. My husbands grandparents were Thomas and Mary Conners Lawson married in Clay Co. in 1917. I have no idea who Thomas Lawson's brothers were. I believe Thomas died about that same time that Earnest died. Could he be a brother?

if you connect to Ernest Lawson I can put you in touch with some other Lawson name people -- Ernest died in 1955 ----- Original Message ----- From: <ORION195@aol.com> To: <INCLAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 6:11 PM Subject: [INCLAY] Thomas and Mahala Lawson > Hello all, > I am new to this list.

I do not have any specific information on Thomas for you. Just wanted you to consider the possibility of the spelling of Fyfe. I know that some Fyfe's came from Scotland to Clay County. One, a Mary Fyfe married Hiram Grant Petty. I am not descended from them, but through Hiram's sister - Laura Ellen. Mary's parents were Robert Muir Fyfe and Christina Denn, both of Scotland.
