Hi, I'm back, with a new computer, and the time to help you in the Indiana's research I'm close to the State Library with the information there. they have records of Revolution pension, some counties have marriages, sometimes on the certificate up until the late 1800's, then some after that have information on the records, and they have all the information, on them, place of birth for them and there parents, place were the parents are living at this time. They are all on microfilm, but some counties won't let them be copied, and some of the counties had fires so lost a lot of records. If you need something please e-mail me personally, and I will let you know the cost of this service, I've helped many on this site already. I have been looking for my line of Brady and Jenkins in Indiana and found them IN Clarkson and Clay, Monroe counties. I am looking for Levi Brady who married Sarah Ellen (or Helen) (Jenkins) you know how the census writers put information that they thought was the correct spellings. Levi and Ellen were in the Clarkson area of IN, in 1850 , then the 1860 in KY, and 1870 in KY, in 1900 and 1910 back in Clarkson, IN. In the KY census she went by Sarah and IN Ellen. If you have already ask me to help you please write to my new mail on compuserve. I LOST A LOT OF E-MAIL WHILE I Was down for a Month to 6 weeks. Teddy

Teddi: Would you have any ideas' on how to find info on my ggggrandfather, James BEST? It seems, according to his son, James BEST, he was a pretty prominent person from 1800 to 1880? But can find no information on him in the Clark Co., IN area, except on census's. I found him in 1850 married or living with a Sarah (I have no idea on how to find her maiden name, or whom she married, all I know about her, she was married to a Sutton, as her 2 daughters on the 1850 census were listed with the Sutton surname) Then I found him married to a Rebecca Smart Rodman, but have no license for either of these marriages. SMART being her maiden name. Before 1870 they moved to Jackson Co., to be with son James BEST, then after 1870 (sometime) their family moved to AL. I'm interested in information on their marriages, and children. Actually anything about them, that I don't have. Also, I'm looking for something on a Bear Fight, involving a Pat BEST, perhaps a 1/2 brother to James BEST (son & possibly son of the elder James BEST). I don't know if this bear fight happened in Indiana, or not? I have no idea as to where to begin looking, or what to look for? I've looked on the computer and inquired about "Mountain Men", "bears", "grizzlies". To no use. There was suppose to be a statue marking this fight, but have no idea where to look. The statue is probably gone by now, unless it has been rescued by some agency? I have a letter that states a cousin had found it but this cousin is gone now, and didn't leave any information behind for anyone to locate it? Have you any ideas?
