Surnames: Vaughn, Culbertson, Norris Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ci.2ADE/1966.1972 Message Board Post: I have a William Vaughn, married 11 May 1857, to Catherine Norris. 1860 census, Greene County, IN, shows he was born NC, ca. 1825. Catherine b. TN, ca. 1842. They have son, John H., age 2 months. I think possibly this son might be my great-grandfather, John H. Vaughn. Do you have any more info. on this William Vaughn family? John H. Vaughn later married Lizzie E. Culbertson.

I'm confused. I just checked the 1876 map of Greene County and Newbury is in Greene. Granted it's just above Davies, but... This is of interest to me because my grandparents are from Cass, Newbury, Greene, In. Are Newberry and Newbury the same? Anyone out there who can clear this up?

Is there anyone out there that can get me a copy of an obit in the Bloomfield newspaper? I won't be able to get up there until this fall. I am looking for one for my g-grandmother. Eliza Jane Sparks Terrell, she went by Jane Terrell, she was born 7-4-1857 in Greene co and died Jan 13, 1929 in Greene co. She is buried in Tulip Cemetery with her husband Albert, but there is no date on the tombstone for her death. Now that I have the date I would like to see what was printed in the paper. I know its usually only a sentence or two. I will be glad to pay for postage and copies. Thanks Pam

The old Liberty Number 1 ( the old log cabin ) might been the one you are talking about. Remember there were 3 Liberty's The first was a log cabin located up from Number 2 Liberty on Wendell Zink's property. Let me know if this sounds familiar to you cause I don't remember Liberty Number 2 ever burning down and rebuilt but I will ask some of the old timers at Church. Again don't be down about the information you gave it might be right. I have a book on the people buried at Liberty Number 2 if you know dates or locations of people there please let me know. I will be very greatful for any information, As always Jim Ed Prow of Hendricksville

I did not mean to infer that there had been only one Liberty Church. I was saying that there was only one Liberty Cemetery. As to the burning, I was told by my parents, who lived within sight of the old church, when the leaves were off of the trees, that it had burned while I was in the service during the late 1950's. (Who can you believe, if not your parents?) My dad, Herschel Carter, and Step brother, Clarence Brinegar are buried at Liberty, and I was simply trying to offer a little help... (Apparently too little.) Will try not to jump in next time. Please contact me if you wish, because I dont wish to publish my ignorance for all to see. Thanks. Dick Carter

No 1 Liberty was first built back in early 1840's and was a sister church of Richland Church in Monroe County. The church was a log cabin and after a while was to small. They moved down the hill where No 2 Liberty was built close to the 1880's a second grave yard was started behind the new church the first couple buried their was Charles and Lucy Hendricks Abram. Alot of the older settlers were buried at the cem. located close to the Number 1 Liberty. The Number 2 Liberty was old and needed alot of repair so the decision to build the Number 3 Liberty came to happen. The Number 2 Liberty did not burn down it was torn down and I have pieces of some the old wood from it. The Number 3 Liberty is just down the road from Number 2 Liberty. The Cem at Number 2 is still being used. I don't believe records were kept by the church but I have start a records of burials and location! s of graves at Number 2 and Number 1 only a list of some due to sandstones used with no names or dates on it. It was destroyed several years ago by the land owner with no trace of anything left. I hope this helps Jim Ed of Hendricksville

He'd spent 16 hours hand-plowing nearly two acres of land today ~ just another 38 or so left to go. An additional 20 acres would be left for another year. A digging stick and a stone sickle was all he had those first few months of farming and he wondered then if he'd grow enough food for that first winter. Then he'd learned to use himself to pull a wooden plowshare through the dirt while his wife steered it. Twice the amount of land was cultivated and the family was, for the most part, kept from total starvation. They'd lost two children last year to disease resulting from their poor diet. He wasn't a farmer when they'd left the old country two years ago and he'd struggled to learn this new way of life. Two years ago he was a bookkeeper; but America didn't need bookkeepers. Farming was the anticipated way of life an immigrant could expect. He was glad he'd gotten a start on the cabin last year that his family was still living in. At least he didn't have to worry about another dwelling right away. Still, his wife was pregnant with their 5th child... 1772 The noon sun beat down on him and his oxen, causing sweat to bead up on both. They took a moment's breath, and all were beginning to feel the weariness caused from the last five hours of plowing. He took his weather-beaten hat off and using his forearm, wiped the water from his forehead. But he wasn't one to complain. His Dad's farm was doing well. Dad had passed on 10 years ago after a backbreaking life of working the land for 40 years and as oldest son, he'd inherited it. Had Dad still been living he would have found working the modern, wrought-iron plowshare pulled by an ox to be a joy. Forty five acres of land were being tilled now. Life was easier now; it was good. The tiny, dirt-floor cabin he was born and grew up in gave way to a newer and larger one about 25 years ago. It sat off to the side of the yard and was now used as a barn and storage area. The larger, earthen-floored cabin where he, his wife and the three youngest of their twelve children were living in today could use some fixing up before winter set in. Perhaps their oldest son would come over and help him fix the roof next month. Then again, his son's wife was due to deliver their seventh child then... 1822 He was tired, so tired. He knew it wouldn't be many more years before he'd pass the farm along to his eldest son. Looking back on the old days when Granddad first started the farm, it was hard to believe the operations of an 80-acre farm could be accomplished without a plow. In 1797 the old days were left behind when Charles Newbold invented the cast-iron plow, though he remembers his dad swearing that it would poison the soil and help weeds to grow. It took some time, but gradually Dad and other farmers learned that these beliefs were false. In sixteen hours a day of plowing now he could get done six times the work of his grandfather. The family didn't live in either cabin anymore. A new location up on the hill behind the original, 1719-structure had been cleared and now reflected a two-story farmhouse, though both the log cabins were still in the field near the stream. If they were still alive, both Mother and Grandmother would have been surprised at the handpump that provided running water in the kitchen. And Grandma would be very impressed with this new-fangled wood-burning stove to cook on. No more cooking in pots over an open flame in the fireplace; imagine that! 1952 Seven generations of men in his family had owned this farm and now, he was struggling to keep it. He wondered if his forefathers had gone through times as tough as right now. Seventy-five acres of wheat, corn and other foodstuffs were lying in the mid-summer field, thrusting themselves upward, seeking relief from the overhead clouds. So was he. It had been two weeks since the last rain and if the clouds didn't release a good downpour soon, he knew his harvest would fall far short this year for him to make a profit and keep the farm going. It wasn't supposed to be like this. He'd grown up in farming, knew what had to be done to get the crops to grow; but the weather seemed to be taking advantage of his tough times. He still owed on that used tractor he'd bought last year and the house... after the past winter's blizzards, well, that roof on the house wasn't going to hold up for another bad winter. He was worried, and so was his wife. They needed that rain to fall. It didn't. 2002 BOOM!... BOOM! The sounds resonated throughout the valley. The family and their friends were appalled that the construction company was tearing through what used to be their corn and wheat fields. The house on the hill was already demolished and a grader was leveling the land to lay in a road. Down below sat two delapidated log cabins. The smaller of the two was barely standing. A look inside produced an old stick with clumps of long-ago dried dirt still matted along one end, making it appear that it had been used for digging. Next to it sat a... what in the world was it? A stone in the shape of a sickle? Heaved into a truck meant to haul away rocks and soil, the two, nearly 300-year-old implements meet their final demise. And nearby, an equally old family cemetery lay overgrown with weeds. Will it escape the sights of the surveyor's equipment? I hope so. And, like so many things we see these days, we leave behind those items and memories in the name of progress, then later wonder "what it was like to live back then." Family ... it's what we're all about. Thank you for allowing me to spend this time with you. I hope your week is filled with health, productivity, fun, and above all, filled with love and inner peace. ) ( ) _.-~~-. (@\'--'/. Colleen ('``.__.'`) `..____.'
