Kelly, Is Center Township in Grant County? The David Maggart that I am looking for is supposed to be buried in IOOF Cemetery, Marion? Has this cemetery been copied and are there Maggart's buried in it? Thanks!

Hi Kenneth, There are no David Maggart's in the 1850 Grant Co census. Their is a David Maggert listed in Center Township as age 22, Carpenter, born in Ohio. It shows him living in the Daniel Powel household. Kelly Kenneth Maggard wrote: > I have been told that in the 1850 Grant County Census, that DAVID > MAGGART is listed in the Worth Township?

Ken, I don't think that there is a Worth Twp. in Grant Co., IN. I checked the 1850 census and found a David Maggard in Worth Twp in Hancock Co., IN. Here is the info: 365 374 John Maggard 69 M Farmer $2000 (real estate value) born in VA Mary Maggard 61 F born in VA William J. Maggard 22 M Farmer born in Ohio Crilla A. Maggard 20 F born in Ohio David Maggard 17 M Farmer born in Indiana Joseph Maggard 14 M born in Indiana Found no Maggard or Maggart in Grant Co., IN. Hope this is who you were looking for.

I have been told that in the 1850 Grant County Census, that DAVID MAGGART is listed in the Worth Township? If someone has a copy of the 1850 census, would you please look up David Maggart for me? I am trying to locate David's family. Thank you for your time and help. Ken Maggard Marietta, GA

The FHC has Grant Co marriages on microfische. Check the local Mormon churchs in your area. They may already have them so you may not need to order them.

Would be interesting in corresponding with anyone related to or having information about the family of James W. Coan, pioneering family of Grant Co. Also, his son, John L. Coan was at one time married to Pearl Minnie Jones, dau of William Jones. Also interested in this family. Thank You, Ron Bliss

It has been sometime since I posted my Hall information so I am posting it again in hopes that someone may have joined the mailing list will see something familar. I have been researching my Hall family for years without success. My great great grandfather was (John) Henry Hall. He is shown as Henry on census records, as well as his death record. His son's funeral record, Evan Hall, shows his full name John Henry Hall. The first record I have of Henry is the 1850 Madison Co, Indiana census. His wife's name was Susannah. Evan's funeral record gives her name as Miss Everett so I assume her name was Susannah Everett. They had not been married too long as they had no children. By the time the 1860 Madison Co, Indiana census was taken they had three children: Evan Philander Hall born in 1851 (more about him later); Marinda born abt 1852 and Anna born abt 1854. All three in Indiana. On the 1860 census his wife's name is spelled Luana. They had at least one more child: George Thomas Hall born 12 Jan 1864. George married Sarah Marthena LaForge (Frena) on 25 Dec 1888 in Burnet Co, Tx. He died 16 Jan 1954 in Burnet Co, Tx and is buried in the Marble Falls Cemetery. Frena was the daughter of Alexander LaForge and Emily Jennings. After the 1860 census Henry disappears until the 1900 Grant Co, Indiana census where is is married to at least his 2nd wife. Her name was Eliza and they had three children: William E born Aug 1881; Minnie L born May 1888; Bertha born Sep 1895. Henry died on 6 Mar 1904 and is buried in the Thrailkill Cemetery in Sims Twp, Grant Co, Indiana. His wife apparently didn't know who is parents were. Evan Philander Hall was born on 29 Aug 1851 in Madison Co, Indiana. He married Serilda Adaline LaForge on 23 Aug 1873 in Grant Co, Indiana. Serilda was the sister of Mary LaForge who married Alexander Chaney in Grant Co and Alexander LaForge. They were the children of William LaForge also of Grant Co. Evan and Serilda had 8 children: 1) Alona Mae "Onie" born 1 Nov 1875 in Grant Co, Indiana 2-3) Twins: Elmer A. and Elsie Belle born 27 Oct 1878 in Swayzee, Grant Co, Indiana. (Elmer died shortly after birth) By 1880 Evan and Serilda, along with their two daughters, had moved to Champaign Co, Illinois where their 4th child was born: William Oscar born in Sep 1880. He was a baby on the 1880 census. Between 1880 and 1883 Evan moved the family back to Indiana and settled Swayzee Twp where they had two more children: 5) Bessie Odell born 3 Jan 1883 in Swayzee, Grant Co, Indiana (my grandmother) 6) Orinda Alice "Ora" born in Oct 1886 also born in Swayzee After Ora was born Evan moved the family to Burnet Co, Tx where Serilda's brother lived. George probably went with them. After moving to Texas they had two more children: 7) Evion Henry "Evie" (rhymes with Livie) born Mar 1891 in Bertram, Burnet Co, Tx 8) Ganes Emmitt born 28 Feb 1892 in Lamar Co, Tx. Evan died on 29 May 1919 in Tulsa, Tulsa Co, Ok and is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery. I have not been able to find Henry on the 1870 nor 1880 census so I have no idea as to how many children there may have been from his first marriage. The 1900 census shows that Eliza had three children all living. She was much younger than he was. I have not found a marriage record for either marriage. Madison Co is a burned out county and only has marriage records back to 1913. Another big problem is there is no 1870 Indiana State census index. I have done a line by line search of the 1870 Madison Co and Grant Co census and most of the adjacent counties and done the same for 1880. I have also done a line by line of the 1880 Champaign Co. Ill census as well and to date have found nothing. The only reason I know about George is because the family knew him. I have been in contact with other Hall researchers and no one knows how my Henry may have been connected. This is where I have been stuck for the past 4 years. I have all the census, marriage and death records for Evan and George and their families but the rest of the family is still a blank. Sorry this is so long but I am hoping that something will look familiar to someone. At this point I'm grasping at straws. I will gladly accept any and all suggestions. Thanks, Charlotte Lucas

Greetings. I have just found out several of my relatives may have lived in Van Buren in Grant County in the past. The surname is SCRIVEN. I am interested in any obituaries or other information anyone can supply. The family was from Sugarcreek, Venango County, Pennsylvania. One individual we know was Burton Edgar SCRIVEN, who died in Van Buren on 15 Aug 1903, aged 23, of tonsillitis. He was brought back to Sugarcreek for burial, but I wondered if an obituary was printed there in Indiana. According to the obituary in Pennsylvania others in the family in Van Buren at the time were Effa or Effie (Mrs. William MUMFORD), Wilminah (Mrs. A. COLLINGWOOD), and brothers James, Elton or Alton, and Levi or Lewis SCRIVEN. We believe both of the girls later moved to Oklahoma, but Elton or Alton was still supposedly in Van Buren in 1937. James and Lewis also went to Oklahoma by 1937. Another possible death would be Elmira Lydia SCRIVEN, Elton's stepmother. We haven't found where she spent her last years and would like to find out when and where she died. It does not appear to be in Pennsylvania. She was alive in Pennsylvania in 1940, but we don't know where she was after that. She was 74 at that time. If anyone remembers anyone by the SCRIVEN name or finds records of them, please contact me. Ed SCRIVEN Layton, UT

Hello List, I am new to this list and have a question. I lost contact with my father many years ago. After getting involved in genealogy recently, I learned that he died in 1984 while living in Marion, Indiana. He died in a VA hospital and no one was aware that he had family. I have been trying to locate various records on him, specifically his adoption and military records which I know were in his possession. My question is: When someone dies and no family members are known, what happens to his important papers and records? Any help would be appreciated. Rhonda

Adam I have a Great Aunt, Sarah Ann Randolph b.1847 Ohio. According to some research I was given by one of her descendants she m. on 23 May 1868 in Grant Co., Indiana Isaac Branson Malcom b. 14 Sep 1844 Jonesboro, Grant Co., Indiana. The researcher also said Isaac's father was Samuel Malcom b.1802 Tn m. Bulah Hines 5 Jun 1828. I don't see an Isaac in your list and I am a little skeptical about this research I was given, but it sounds like there might be some sort of relationship. I suspect Isaac's father was a different Samuel Malcom than the one you're researching unless he was disinherited and your Samuel would have been much older.
