I am so excited. I have been to that cemetery in the 1960's. At that time it was a church yard. Those are my ancestors. I was beginning to think the cemetery was long gone. Do you have any quordants for it? I would love to hear from other family members. Richard Thomas and Elizabeth Crayton were my Gr Grandfather's grandparents. Thank you for your generosity of time in checking this out for those of us who did not ask. Linda

I am a decendant of Alexander Gilmore b. June 1764, d. october 8, 1843. I visited the Bruner farm which was suposed to be the Gilmore farm where Alexander lived and passed the farm on to his son Thomas. I spoke with the lady who lives on the property who is a Bruner.

Surnames: Pierson, Stephenson, Crutchfield, Waynick, Benham, Bolen Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Di.2ADE/1977 Message Board Post: This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Other surnames mentioned in the biography of HON. JOHN BENTON PIERSON are, Pierson, Stephenson, Crutchfield, Waynick, Benham, Bolen, HON. JOHN BENTON PIERSON. While men frequently make a mistake when they change from one profession to another, especially after their first youth is past, the ability to recognize opportunity and the courage and enterprise to seize it has in many lives proved to be the most important factor in the achieving of success. Hon. John Benton Pierson, former prosecuting attorney for Crawford and Harrison counties, one of the most prominent lawyers of English, and a man successful in life, was for many years an educator before he studied law, was admitted to the bar, and entered upon another phase of his useful and eventful life. The birth of John Benton Pierson occurred in Orange County, Indiana, July 8, 1874, and he is a son of James W. and Elizabeth (Stephenson) Pierson, the latter of whom was born in Boone County, Kentucky, and died in 1905. James W. Pierson was a native of Crawford County, a millwright by trade, and a man who was very industrious, continuing work at his trade ! until his death in 1896. Five children were born to the parents, two of whom died in infancy. The others are as follows: Elizabeth, who married Arthur Crutchfield, lives in Orange County, and has five children; Thomas, who lives at Marengo, Indiana, married Stella Waynick, and they have two children; and John B. Growing to manhood in his native state, John Benton Pierson attended the public schools, Marengo Academy and Oakland, Indiana, College. His first ambition was to become, a teacher of solid attainments, but, although he taught school for nearly a quarter of a century, he found that he possessed aspirations in another direction. Having been an active Democrat for many years and influential in his party, his associates induced him to become a candidate for the office of county treasurer. He was elected and served for four years, and during that period in his leisure time continued the law studies he had already begun. In 1920 he was admitted to the bar, and entered at ! once upon the practice of law. In 1926 he was elected prosecuting atto rney, and was re-elected in 1928, on the record he had made as an honest and fearless official during a time of great stress and disturbance. He retired from office January 1, 1931. On January 30, 1919, Mr. Pierson was married to Miss Hattie Benham, of Crawford County, Indiana. There are no children by this marriage, but he has four by a former one, namely: Cohan G., born March 7, 1901; Lelah, born October 14, 1906; Carmen, born January 10, 1909; and Carlin, born December 28, 1917. Cohan G. is a teacher in history at DePauw University, married Miss Viva Bolen, and they have two sons, John, born May 27, 1925, and Robert, born January 1, 1927. Carmen died September 7, 1909, and Lelah died December 28, 1918. Carlin is in the English grade schools. Mr. Pierson and his family belong to the Christian Church, and are active in its good work. He belongs to the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of which he has served as senior deacon; to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Kn! ights of Pythias, the Modern Woodmen of America, in all of which he has passed all chairs; the Crawford County Bar Association and the Indiana State Bar Association. He is a member of the State Grand Lodges of both the Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias.

Surnames: LaDuke Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Di.2ADE/1976 Message Board Post: I have some information on John Cadet Laduke and his descendants. I have just updated my family tree information here on ancestry.com, have a look. There is a lot of conflicting/ unverified information about this John Cadet LaDuke. I have included only information from primary sources (mostly census records). I have found him in the 1820, 1830, 1850, 1860, and 1870 census records all in Harrison County, Indiana. I have also found a marriage record in Floyd County, Indiana. He claims to have been born in the West Indies in every record, but I have seen unverifiable reports that he may have been born in France. The information that I have found in the census records suggest that he may have been Cadet or Caddet LaDuke, he may have adopted the name John later in life. He married twice and had at least 9 children, probably more. He reportedly lived in Pennsylvania before going to Indiana. I have not found anything to prove this, except that census records list his first children as being born there. I also discovered an interesting biographical sketch of his grandson Elliott LaDuke, in an Illinois history book that is in my notes on the GEDCOM I uploaded to ancestry.com. I have been unable to link this John to the several LaDuke/ Leduc, etc lines that came from Canada. I am very interested in finding siblings and parents for John Cadet LaDuke as well as more information on his descendants. If you have any information that may help or would like more information from me, please contact me at [email protected] I would love to hear from you. (My connection to this line is through my fathers mother, daughter of Charlotte LaDuke, who was the daughter of Harrison LaDuke, son of John Cadet).
