Dick, According to the book, Jennings County Indiana 1816-1999: The government survey of Indiana and Jennings county was the result of the Congress legislation called the Land Ordinance of 1787. There was a battle between the advocated of the sale of new lands to farmers, frontiersmen and merchant to become owners of small parcels of land and the wealthy southern plantation owners and southern aristocrats who felt their wealth made them more capable of handling the sale of the land and development of new lands. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were instrumental in pushing the Rectangular Survey System which called for a survey of all lands and then that it be sold in 40 acre tracts for as little as $1.s5 an acre. the purpose of selling the land was to raise money to pays the debts from the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Thought that was pretty interesting.

Hi, My ancestors also came to Jennings Co. from VA via somewhere in KY, then a brief period near Cincinnati, then on to Jennings Co. (CONNER) in 1820. I am curious who they may have bought the land from in Ohio? Was the Government selling land, or private land companies, or both? Their biographies say they carved out their homesteads from the unbroken forest at that time, just a very few years after the formation of Jennings Co. Dick in Las Vegas

There are so many variations of this name. But I do know that they were in Jenning county Indiana. We are looking all descendants with the many variations of spelling to update our address list. We also need updated lines and information. if you have a bible, newspapers clippings, photos, we are in desperate need of all of the above. County historians find out if there were any there. In the year 2002 is our big Anniversary, and we would love to have every county in New York covered. As well as all the states that became home base for the Swartwout you can understand the significance it has. Become a part of history with us.

County historians, I have many that have more than generous when it comes to such an event 350 years for a family in North America is no small feat. Kathy kathyhoeldke@sympatico.ca ldyk@hotmail.ca

In my searching so far, I have found that they came from all over KY. Some came from the Northeast, down the Ohio and into Northern KY Area then on to Jennings, Ripley and Decatur counties. I have one family that came from Garrard county KY, After the Northwest Treaty was passed in 1781, people started really coming to Indiana and in early 1800's they started dividing into counties and into townships and selling tracts of land at very food prices.

In looking at my husband's family that has traveled to Jennings from KY. I am at a dead end on where our Longs were originally from in KY. Other names in the family are McCammon, Spencer and Meek. I have noticed many families came from KY. Is there a pattern of immigration I am missing? Was there a certain time that many traveled to Jennings for land around 1840 or 1850? I understand that many families traveled together, and I'm curious if there is a certain area from KY that the families in Jennings traveled from or did they come from all over in KY. Thank you for any information. Sincerely, :-) Barbara Long <brlong54@aol.com>

LOUISIANA COMPTON is my 2nd Great Grandmother. She was born in Paris, Jennings Co. on 30 Aug 1837. She married DAVIS BRANHAM on the 4 January 1855 in Elizabethtown Indiana. My question: is Paris Crossing that I find on the map now the same as Paris from 1837? Have the county boundry lines changed in that time frame? TIA Joni Curtis

I am curious about this. The name Ferren shows up as the first wife of my Fielding Denney. He died in Jennings county in 1845. A source in FTM gives his first wife as Sarah Ferren. I have never found any proof of this. They would have been married in Scott County, KY. She died before 1815, leaving two daughters, Mary and Lucy. Fielding and his second wife Jane Hicklin moved to Jennings County. Any interest out there?

There have been no male children to carry on the family name. Please write and tell me more.

I would love to have what you have on any brothers and sisters to Elizabeth. By the way, she is buried in Memory Gardens in Rensselaer, next to her son, Charles. I have no idea where Claude is buried, my dad, his grandson, thinks that Claude is buried in Benton Co. He and Elizabeth had been separated for years, if not divorced. Dad doesn't know and Luella, my grandmother, does not want to talk about it. my Dad said he only saw his grandfather HOgle 2 or 3 times that he can remember. While I have names of most of Grandma Luella's siblings, I have not been able to keep up with dates and their children, especially Betty, who married a Lane, had a bunch of kids, then married a Budde and had a bunch of kids, one of whom was my eye doctor when I was growing up. Need stuff on Elizabeth's siblings and anything father back whenever you can get to it. Thanks for making my day.
