I wasn't expecting a response so fast. I'm glad you replied though. That information will be very useful. Where do you suppose I could go on the internet to find the info you weren't able to get? Like the children's names and dates? I don't have the money to have someone research Isaac more thoroughly. As you probably know, I'm very interested in Isaac. Out of the family he was born into, he's the only one I know of that left Lancaster Pa. Plus I've been to Indiana already, mainly the Grant and Delaware counties. So I'm interested in knowing what the Sparta area looks like, mainly the topographical layout of the land. I'll be sure to write down the info you were able to supply me with. Do you think the cemetary would have Isaac's exact dates recorded? I don't suppose you know anything about him having a second wife since Adelia died so early? I would think he would have married. Any thoughts?
