    2. Good Evening List, Has anyone ever seen or heard of a book called Brant & Fuller 1886 History of Jackson Co., Indiana? I found some excerpts from it regarding several Robertson's/ Robinson's that I believe are my line in an old county genealogy newsletter. I would like to find a copy of the book so that I could get a copy of the entire article. If any of you have a copy or know where I might find one, please let me know. Thank you, Jean [email protected] in OKLAHOMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. [INJACKSO-L] Looking for info.
    2. Sephreina
    3. Aloha Listers, I am still new to researching family history on the web and have never been a part of a list till now. I have been researching the family for just over a year now with the help of my great aunt who was born and raised in the Tampico area. She is now in her 90's but can still remember things like they were yesterday. She has given me names of towns/communities which are more than likely not even listed on a map any longer. She is the reason I started in on the reasearch and she would like to find out more about the family to answer some unaswered questions she has. I am hoping by listing the following info that someone might have some info to pass on to allow us to start connecting the names where they belong. Henry Morgan b. abt. 1819-21 in In. Tampico area d. 1889 According to an old newspaper obit in 1889, he was a blacksmith and had his own business, he later in life formed a partnership with a William McConnell. His father died while he was a young boy and at the age of 14 left Tampico area off to Mo.where he remained for about 4-5 years. In Mo. he married a woman by the last name Rogers and together had a child. He moved back to Tampico and opened his business, and married his second wife Miss Sarah Richey of Tampico. They had 8 children together, one being my ggrandmother, Daisy Pearl Morgan b. Mar. 17, 1882 d. Apr. 1981 in Tampico In.. Daisy entered into a relationship (not sure if they married) with a man named John Bowman. John Bowman either died in a saw mill accident or by a stike of lightning. Daisy and John Bowman had a daughter, Mabel Lillian Bowman (my grandmother). Daisy did marry a John Hopkins who was cousin to Vander and Orph Hall. Daisy and John had 6 children during their marriage. Daisy later married a man by the last name Boll. Mabel Lillian Bowman married Howard Carpenter when she was abt. 15 years old, we are not sure where the marriage took place yet. I am sory for being so lengthly, but am hoping that maybe some of this might ring a bell to someone reading. What twp. was Tampico placed in? Where might I find Civil War Soldiers list for the Tampico area? I did notice another site that had a list for Soldiers in that county. Keeping my fingers crossed... Thank you, Laurie Carpenter
