I hope this gets posted correctly. I am having trouble with the Rootsweb address being returned. I sent this twice, so I hope my reply is here. Would you please contact me at patriciagrimm2001@yahoo.com. I have a lot of my father ancestor's in Mauckport and believe one of them was a shopkeeper. I can check my records easily with a name or surname.   I don't know of any city directory for Mauckport, but a call to the library in Corydon may help. I have an old Harrison co. phone book that covered the county. If you need the phone numbers, please let me know. I can look them up for you. They may have books listing people who live in the county and their addresses before there were telephones.   I was in Mauckport in July and there isn't much there anymore.   Pat nee Thomas Grimm My Harrison Co. lines are Thomas, Simcox, Wiseman and many collateral lines.             --- On Sun, 1/31/10, gc-gateway@rootsweb.com <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> wrote:                   From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> Subject: [INHARRIS] Mauckport City Directory To: INHARRIS-L@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, January 31, 2010, 6:30 PM This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Some of this I already knew, but a lot of it I didn't have yet. Glad I can add more to my records. The main reason I'm trying to get info on Vera & Charles is that the listing shows a daugter Mae Yuvonne as well. Vera was my husbands great-aunt, and the family said she ran off with her boyfriend at 16 to Chicago. The dau is listed as born in Scott Twp in 1931, Vera would have been 15, and the family knew nothing of this child, so maybe she didn't really go to Chicago? I don't know, but I'm trying to figure out what happened to her. This bit of info about her, Charles, and the baby are the only things I have found - they seem to disappear after that. I'm going to continue looking for them, please let me know if you happen across any further information and thank you so much again for what you gave me!

Colton, New York, 1852 http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/1852_IN_index.html This is a digitally reproduced version of Indiana: in Relation to its Geography, Statistics, Institutions, County Topography Etc.; with a Reference Index to Colton's Maps of Indiana, 1852. Historians, genealogists and researchers of mid 19th century Indiana will find the vast amount of research material in this book and its accompanying maps invaluable. The 144 page book is a companion to the 6 segment series of Colton's Maps of Indiana included on this CD. The book contains topographical and historical profiles of the cities, towns and villages of Indiana in 1852. Indiana places and place names, many of which no longer exist in contemporary literature or on current maps, are identified and discussed in this early Indiana resource. Excerpts from the book advertisement: This little book has been prepared to accompany COLTON'S MAPS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA, and to illustrate the geography, statistics, and institutions of that important portion of the American Union. The descriptions, though brief and concise, embrace nevertheless a great mass of information useful not only to the immigrant settler, but also to those who, from long residence in the state, may be entitled to the distinguished title of "citizen." The descriptive portions of the work have been chiefly compiled from the publications of the most recent writers; but a large mass of information has also been derived from the labors and inquiries of the publisher's agents, and from numerous private sources, all of which has been incorporated. The statistical matter is chiefly based on the census of 1850, the official returns of the several departments of the federal and state governments, and from the reports of companies incorporated within the state. Every available source of accurate information, indeed, has been consulted, and the publisher has no hesitation in saying that there is no other work on the same subject, and within the same compass, that furnishes so much valuable information as is contained herein... ...maps are engraved in the best style of art, and are colored in a handsome manner. A REFERENCE INDEX, by the aid of which any place on the maps may be readily found, is appended to this work. New York, April 15, 1852 Table of Contents (40K PDF) pages are available for download: http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/1852_IN_TOC.pdf Colton's Maps of Indiana: The original full size map was engraved on six plates, and when assembled was 66 x 48-inches in size. It contains the full surveys in sections, the general topography of the state, the internal improvements, and all the information usually found on the most elaborate maps. Insets: Michigan City * LaFayette * Logansport & West Logan * Terre Haute * Indianapolis * Madison* Fort Wayne * New Albany * Jeffersonville, Louisville and the Falls of the Ohio * Evansville and Lamasco City * Lawrenceburgh * Vincennes * Richmond * South Bend. To facilitate viewing and printing, this series of maps have been digitized in a single image and reduced in size to approximately 33 x 24-inches at 300 dpi. The high resolution image has been converted to Adobe PDF and included on this CD. The REFERENCE INDEX pages (105-123) may be utilized to locate Indiana places and place names found on Colton's Maps of Indiana.

Each Zone consists of a series of 8 or more bordering county maps making up all 92 Indiana counties. Each Zone Atlas contains high resolution scanned images of vintage 19th century county maps that are presented in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). All (11) individual Indiana Zones are available separately. Each county map includes the following 19th century features: * roads, railroads and canals * cities, towns and villages * post offices and government sites * one-room schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries * rivers, streams and ferries * racetracks, fairgrounds and picnic groves * industrial sites, furnaces and mills * early homesteads and farms -and much more The Historic Atlas of Indiana series may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century Indiana places and place names. Many 19th century sites no longer appear on contemporary maps and or have been obscured with time. The Historic Atlas Series CD's provide researchers with the means to quickly search 19th century maps when searching for extinct Indiana places. Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no exception; however, by virtue of the Adobe PDF formatting, these documents may be inspected at high levels of magnification without additional digital distortion; something that simply cannot be accomplished with paper reproductions and photocopies. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to view, zoom, pan and print from the PDF images contained in this book; and is included free on each CD. No other software is necessary. The data has been created and configured using Adobe Acrobat for MS Windows (98, 98SE, XP, NT and 2000). The pages may be viewed in earlier versions of the software as well; and with current versions of the Adobe Reader on recent model Mac systems. Good luck with your research!

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: mustacheusa2 Surnames: Bigot Vaughn Simon Mousty Henriott Taylor Varusha Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.harrison/3767/mb.ashx Message Board Post: In 1847 Etienne and Josephine Simon arrived in New Orleans from France. By the 1850 census both were found in Spencer Twp, Harrison Co., IN. By 1860 Etienne had died and Josephine remarried Thomas Mousty. By 1870 Josephine was again widowed. I am trying to find Josephine's maiden name and I'm hoping the 1880 census for Spencer, Harrison, IN might help. She is found as head of household there and also residing with her are two nieces. One niece was Josephine Bigot 7 years old and the other was Millie Vaughn 2 years old. I'm hoping either Bigot or Vaughn might be her family name. In the same 1880 census there was a Joseph Bigot 14 residing with a Henriott family and a Nicholas Bigot also 14, residing with a Taylor family both listed as laborers. There does not seem to be any adult Bigot family present in Spencer, Harrison, IN. Joseph Bigot is living with Felician Henriott who's brother married the son of Jules Simon, Josephine's son. As for the Vaughn name specif! ically from France in the same 1880 census there was a Henry Vaughn born in Indiana but his parents were from France. There was also a John P. Vaughn who was from France and 57 years old. Josphine in 1880 was 53. I'm sure the John P. Vaughn was John Peter Vaughn and the father of Henry. If related he could be a sibling of Josephine. It doesn't explain a niece so young though but I noted that there was a Jules Vaughn 20 years old living with John P. at the time and perhaps the niece referred to is a grand-niece. This same John P. Vaughn lives next door to Felix Varusha, who's sister married Josephine's son Louis Simon. Felix Varusha lives next door to Jules Simon who is another son of Joephine's. Josephine lives next door to Jules Simon. Any help would be very much appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This family eventually migrated to Nelson County, KY. The were in Bardstown in the 1810 Census and in 1820 show in Harrison County, Indiana Census. Most of their Children were born in Ky. Andrew Jr. was born in the 1790's. I believe John B. McCune to be his son and he was born approx 1818. In the 1840 Harrison County, Indiana Census it shows two boys (both within the proper age group to have been Andrews son), by 1850 census the only boy still living in Andrew Jr.'s home is Michael, John B. is now a married man. In my searching I have not found another McCune family in Harrison County so I do believe John B. is the son of Andrew Jr., but I'd like to try and find proof beyond any doubt.

Is there anyone on this list who may live in, and/or near the courthouse for Harrison County? Someone who would be willing to check for records, making copies, either for snail mail, and/or e-mail attachments, or give me some idea of ordering copies of these early court records from the courthouse.

New Albany Daily Ledger Standard 1 May 1880 p4 c4: Harrison County's Horror! Henry Long Died this Forenoon, and He Made a Dying Statement; Trouble Threatened. And another Mob will More than Likely Enact Other Devilish Deeds. . . I am trying to find out more details about the involvement in this murder by a certain Chris Dinklocker, also known as J. C. Dinkelaker, his name at birth was Johann Christian Dinkelacker. Here is some more background to this case: Beginning in 1880, the epoch of white capping took a fateful turn in the county. Until this period, chastisements had taken the form of warnings and whippings but with the arrest of Henry Long in April 1880, a sensational incident in Harrison County history began. The case against Long began when Long, a distrusted, self made lawyer, was jailed for the murder of Chris Dinklocker who had disappeared. It was a known fact that Long and Dinklocker were rivals. The trial began on April 27, 1880 and was a county wide spectacle involving many witnesses to the alleged murder and many spectators. Long decided to represent himself, feeling that the entire episode was staged to arrest and disarm him. He arranged for his wife to smuggle a pistol to him in jail. During the trial one hundred hooded men rode up and rushed the courtroom in an attempt to seize Long. He grabbed the smuggled pistol and killed one of the white caps and escaped in a hail of gunfire. He was later found dead of a head wound. Several men were indicted for Long's murder but only one was jailed for non-payment of a sixty dollar fine. After the murder of Long the supposedly murdered Chris Dinklocker surfaced. He reported that he had "been out of the county." The first death in ! the county attributed to the white caps had occurred. .......... THE "WHITE CAPS" In 1873 there came into existence a secret organization known as the "Harrison County Regulators", a society which had signs, grips, passwords and binding obligations. The name "White Caps" was suggested by the white hoods worn by them as a disguise. Each council had two officers a captain and a lieutenant, and their place of meeting was in some sequested spot at midnight. At these meetings they heard reports from committees of investigation and decided on the punishment for alleged misdemeanors. The members were then provided with strong hickory switches, and upon command of the captain the company galloped away on its mission of vindicating the offended law. Within the next few years over twenty cases of White Capping occured. The number of lashed given was usually fifty but sometimes as many as seventy-five were given. It was useless to appeal to the courts for nothing could ever be proved against the accused Regulators. The first sacrifice of life in these hazardous White Cap operations was in Blue River township on the night of April twenty-sixth, 1880. Henry Long was termed a "jack leg lawyer" and accused of stirring up strife in the neighborhood. He was a man of well known courage and they resorted to a ruse to avert danger to themselves. They had him arrested on a trumped up charge and the trial set at night with a long array of witnesses to prolong it until a late hour. The trial was proceeding before Squire Archibald Boston when the Regulators appeared. Long had been disarmed but a friend had managed to slip him a revolver. He sprang to the door and shot the first masked man who entered. He lived but a short time and proved to be Louis Henriott, a leading citizen in the township. After the first shot the revolver failed to work or he would no doubt have succeeded in selling his life more dearly. Almost miraculously he escaped the mob, not however, before receiving a shot in the head that resulted in his death a few days later. ....... J.C. Dinkelaker is buried at Mount Tabor cemetery, Depauw, he served in Company E, Indiana 13th Cavalry Regiment in the Civil War. He was born in 1833 in Sindelfingen, Germany, he probably died on or before 26 March 1900 in Blue River. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
