Hello: I have some questions concerning Reynolds of Lawrence County: 1) Looking for ANY tidbit if information concerning Charles Reynolds who died on Aug 21, 1855 and is buried at the very old Shiloh Cemetery, Indian Creek Twp., Lawrence Co., near Fayetteville, near Bedford, IN. Where and when was he born? Who were his parents, brothers, sisters? etc. 2) Thomas Reynolds purchased 160 acres of land in what is now Marshall Twp, Lawrence Co on Jan 2, 1817. Any kind of information concerning Thomas, where and when he was born, who his parents and children were, etc. Could he have been the Thomas L. Reynolds - father to Abraham Reynolds b. 1797 who ALSO bought land in Marshall AND Indian Creek Twp.??? Sincerely, Mike Massa [email protected]

Carolyn, Your message caught my eye as Nancy Dale that was married to your Jonathan Henderson was a sister to my gg grandmother Mary Dale who was married to Elijah Montgomery. Nancy was 4 years older that Mary. There were 13 children in Mary Liles and William Dale's family. I only know one lady that was working on this line and I don't believe she is on-line any more. If you are interested in any information that I have I would be willing to share. Do you have any more about Nancy and her family? Vicky of SE Missouri ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn J.

I am researching the Bell family who were in the Lawrence Co. census of 1850. Louisa Jane Bell married William Henry Bea in the Co. 5 Mar 1850 and then left the area. I have quite a bit on the Bea family, who moved on to MO., but cannot find much info on the Bell family that stayed behind. Have asked before on this list more than once if anyone knows anything about them but get no answers.The Bells appear to have come from KY according to the census. Have been stuck with my nose against this stone wall for quite some time. Hope that someone can help. Glee
