Re: James Fouse James Fouse was born April 10, 1811 in North Carolina. In November 1859 he married Rachel Maudlin Little, widow of John Little. She was the mother of Sarah J. Little and Miriam E. Little. This was James second wife. They had a certificate to Back Creek Friends Meeting and James is buried in the Back Creek burying ground. His death date was November 1, 1876. Does anyone have any more information on any of these people. Is the Back Creek burying ground still in existence? James is my ggg-grandfather from his first marriage and is an enigma. Any clues would be appreciated. Tonya

Thanks everyone for the information regarding glass factories in Grant Co. I am coresponding with a man in England who is interested in the glass factories in the U.S. He is working on extracting all glassmakers and allied trades for England. He would like to trace where in the U.S. glassmakers emigrated. I will be sending him the address of Grant Co.'s local paper so that he might seek individuals who families were involved in this business. Shelia, if the gas ran out in 1910 then this gives me reason to believe that is when the Kreins moved to No. Vernon. That's approximately when the factory was built in N.V.

Hi, I am new to this list and am hoping someone can help me with a little information. I recently purchased some glass paperweights that belonged to my godfather's father. Inside the paperweight was the name of the town I believe they came from: Marion, IN. The family's name was Krein. They evidently moved to North Vernon, IN to work the glass factory here. Can anyone tell me when these factories were in operation? I know it was the early 1900's or earlier. Any information would be helpful. Maggie Green North Vernon, IN

My surnames from Grant Co were: VanNurden and May. Samuel Bush VAN NURDEN was married to Jane MAY in 1842. They lived in VanBuren Township until they moved to Minnesota in about 1865. I believe that Jane's mother may have been living nearby on the 1850 Census...Mary MAY with sons, William, Caleb, James. These supposed brothers moved to Minnesota, also. Jane MAY was born in Fayette Co, PA. Samuel Bush VAN NURDEN was born in New Jersey or New York. I believe his mother, was living with them on the 1850 Census...Sarah VANNURDEN. Anyone doing research on these names? Thanks, Sherri bucky@itseasy.net

Hi to all Grant Co. researchers: I just subscribed to this list and wanted to post my Grant Co. Ind. connections. Badger, Daniel born about 1778 in Vermont. Traveled to near Cincinnati, Ohio in early 1800's. Married Hannah Malott in what was then Hamilton Co., Ohio in 1798. The area where they lived eventually became Clermont Co. in 1810. Daniel, Hannah and Hannah's brother and sister-in-law Reason and Sarah (Albany) Malott left Ohio about 1819 first settled in Winchester, Randolph Co., Ind.. Then the Badger and Malott families came up the Mississinewa river and settled in 1826 near what was then Delaware Co. and later became Grant Co.. Daniel and Hannah were my ggg-grandparents. Am interested in any and all information on the Badger and Malott families. Have much to share.
