I am looking for a marriage record for Pembroke Columbus Shields, He was in the 1850 Tennessee Census in Jackson County, He married Rosannah Elizabeth Field about 1851 or1852, possibly in Indiana. She was born August 1, 1835 in Indiana, Their first 3 children were born in Indiana. I believe Pembroke Columbus Shields went to Indiana for his Medical training. They were back in Tennessee in the 1860 census index.

Donna, I have an FTM Indiana death index for 1882-1920, I will do a couple of look ups for you. These aren't complete though, but I'll see what I can do -cindy ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Cindy, I have seen several note where you said you will do lookups. I would really appreciate one for the death date of my g-grandmother Sarah 'Swift' Cady. I do not know what county but believe in Indiana. G-grandfather Jacob Cady supposed to have died in Aurora. IN. abt.1912. Thanks. Mabel, Sacramento, Calif.

Hi Listers; I was wondering if Indiana has a Death Index for the state. Several of the states have this (California, New Mexico, Wisconsin, etc.) and I don't know if Indiana has one of these? If so, is there anyone that has access to it that can do a couple lookups for me? Thanks so much. Donna Bradley Anza, CA

Are you at all familiar with a Paul and Mary Jessup from the Jasonville Indiana area? At least, she was. They spent most of their married life in Gary Indiana. I am guessing that they were both born around 1918 thru 1925. That is a guesstimate. :) They were good friends of my family. cj > [Original Message] > From: <Lora1957@aol.com> > To: <INDIANA-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: 2/19/2001 7:36:04 PM > Subject: [INDIANA] Clawson, Wilson, Jessup, Nicholson, Hunt, Parker, Hockett, Cloud, Hill > > History of Rush County Indiana > Brant & Fuller > Chicago > 1888 > Page 597 and 598 > > > SAMUEL H.
