Could anyone who lives near Commisky spare a moment to check a date on a tombstone for me, please? I have the following couple in my family line---and the date on the lady's tombstone presents a problem---Another researcher tells me that she died in May of 1849, but her husband married again in August of 1848. I am betting that she died in May of 1848. If the stone does say 1849, I want to check for a divorce. Further info below. Thanks, Sherri Demarcus Lett married 31 Dec 1836 to Mary Hall, Jennings co, IN Mary was daughter of Isaac Hall b NJ and Rhoda Thomas (dau of Evan Thomas) Isaac and Rhoda Hall were married 1807 Madison, IN (tombstone info) Mary was born 11 Apr 1811? (tombstone)(census est 1819) Bear Creek, Jennings co, Indiana Territory died 4 May 1849 (tombstone) buried Walton cemetery, Montgomery township, Jennings co, In --near Commisky---Isaac and Rhoda buried here also (located section 14 nearest roads 700S and 100E)

According to Jerry Richmond, "Grove MM in Jennings co,IN was set off from Driftwood MM in 1861 and became an independant Monthly Meeting. It is believed to have lasted until about 1903. Unfortunately, according to Heiss, no records of Grove MM are known to have survived unless something has turned up fairly recently." Does anyone know of any recently discovered information on this Quaker monthly meeting? The names of the original members? The place it was located? Who owned the land/home where the meeting first met? Was land transferred to the church from a member? ---Anything at all might give clues that I could use for my COX and LETT families in Jennings county. Thanks, Sherri

Thanks Karen, No you did not send me that before. I will see if I can find something in here that connects. Queet

Hello everyone! I am looking for any information on the RIGGS, SAVILLE, and DAY families in Jennings Co., IN. Especially on the RIGGS family. Thanks in advance, Queet

Those present were > Luretta, Bertha and Alta Wenzel, Gladys and Ruth Dudley, Pearl McConnell, Edna > Harrington, Lulu Meyers, Irene Miller, Blanche Miles *** This is my Grandmother!!!!!

I am very interested in this gentleman. My great grandaunt Jane WAUGHTELL was married to an Enoch STARK in Washington County, Indiana in 1838 and I believe she had two children of this marriage ~ possibly a James and a Sophia. Curious if "Bude" ties in with Enoch in any way. Jane remarried in 1840 to a John SUMMA and until I found Sophia's marriage license in September while researching in Salt Lake City, all the census records showed James & Sophia under the SUMMA surname. Can anyone help me with this. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Antoinette (Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington) waughtel@oz.net

Happy Halloween everyone. I just wanted to remind everyone to take a minute to look at the 100 Years Ago today for Jennings county at http://www.northvernon.com Terry

Thanks to Chris, Gilbert, Annette and others for helping to identify Cook's Park found in an old photo I have. Chris, the post card of the "Casino at Cooks Park" is the same buliding in my photo except that the lights are not apparent. I suppose what I thought was a lake was actually Pegion Creek. Now I need to indentify the young lady in the photo. Her name is written as Ethel Traylor and information on the back of the photo says she is 17 and it is dated as 1918. My family line of Traylors are from around Evansville and Indianapolis. No one in my family can identify who Ethel Traylor is or how she fits into our line. Some of my folks are in their 90s. I am sending this note to all the Indiana lists that I subscribe to in an attempt to find a connection. If you receive more then one copy of this communique please disregard all except one. Again, thanks to all those that have helped, Paul Traylor Milwaukee Wisconsin ptraylor@gateway.net

Hello, Would you please let me know how many Nelson families there were in Columbus, Bartholomew, Indiana in 1846. Thank You, Mionne djathb@aol.com

Hi Karen, I just saw your post on the IN 1960 FTW Census CD. Can you look for me and see if there are any HOOD or PETTIFORD entries? I have been burned too many times by those FTW CD's to buy without checking first... Randy Richmond, VA

Karen, Also, on the William Riggs family do you have any other information on him. Such as name of his wife and children? And on the Isaac Day, you stated his father was Charles and mother was Rachel. Was there any other children listed? You have been a wonderful help to me so far. This is really helping me get some leads on where these guys were from. Thanks so much! Queet

Thank you so much Karen! Was there anything in there on the SAVILLE families? Could be spelled differently. Queet

I have the 1860 Indiana census from FTM. It has many errors, but can be helpful. I located a William W. Riggs age 21, Head of household, born in IN on page 0129 Jennings county. There was a Sarah Riggs age 64 b. NY (Insane) living with a Glenn family. Isaac N. Day, age 18, b. IN, page 244. Looks like his father was Charles age 73 b. CT. Wife Rachel b. NC age 53. Could be a second wife. Couldn't locate a Polk Day. Wonder if that was a nickname? Karen

I am in desperate need for any information that can be found for me on the SAVILLE families in Jennings Co., IN. Especially the following: Zachary Uriah SAVILLE b: 1811 Hampshire Co., VA d: Queensville, Jennings Co., IN he married Catherine SHANHOLTZER b: 1811 Hampshire Co., VA d: 1877 Queensville, Jennings Co., IN Children that I am interested in are: 1. Martha Jane SAVILLE b: bet. 1839-1842 md: William W. RIGGS. I need info on the RIGGS family. 2. Hannah E. SAVILLE b: Jan. 8, 1845 d: Aug. 4, 1918 md: Isaac H. DAY. I need info on the DAY family. 3. Rebecca SAVILLE b: 1849 Hampshire Co., VA md: Polk DAY. If anyone can find me some census information from 1860 and up on these families or cemeteries would be wonderful. Please help me find these families. There is not much online for me to search in Jennings Co., IN. I am living in Alabama so searching is not easy for me. Thanks in advance, Queet Jaco
