I am trying to research an ancestor who was in a Union outfit I can't seem to get info on. His name was GEORGE WASHINGTON CLARKSON, and he was in the 9TH. LEGION (30 DAYS '62) CO. D. That is all I know of it. Can anyone help identify this? Am trying to make a connection between a great-grandmother born I believe in Danville, IN who died in Warren Co., KY. Any info would be appreciated. Steve Molnar Old Hickory, TN

I am working on our Mclaughlin family tree. I need to locate Imagene or Ima Jean Sibert Mullins and her husband George Mullins. I have been told they live in Vincennes, Ind. Does anyone know them and how I can call or write to them? She is the daughter of Isaac "Bud" Sibert and his wife Fannie McLaughlin Sibert. Fannie and Bud lived and are buried in Shoals, Ind. They had sons named: Fred, Everett, Freeman, and Samuel Sibert. Two daughters Julia and Mary Sibert. Thanks for your help. Judy Whisler (in Ks) [email protected]

Does anyone have and EDWARDS people in their families? I'm looking for a Daniel Edwards, born in the 1790's. His wife was Susannah Hedrick. They were married in Garrard Co., KY in 1815. I think this Susannah may be related to some of the other Hedrick's that were married in the 1830's in Lawrence Co. Thanks.

I just spoke with the president of the Historical & Genealogical Society and he says they are still selling the cemetery books but at the present time they are sold out. They are taking orders. The cost is $75.00 plus $5.00 if mailed. This is a 2 book set. There is a problem with them that they are going to get fixed. Some of the names have been omitted from some of the pages but they are working on getting the problem fixed. The Society is also having a problem with the help as one lady who works on the books has been out for six weeks with health problems and the curator of the museum fell about 2 weeks ago and broke her hip in 3 places. She is on the mend and it at a local nursing home. The address for ordering books is: Lawrence County Historical & Genealogical Society, Inc. 931 15th St. Bedford, IN 47421 Phone: 812-278-8575

Would anyone who has a copy of this book check to see if there are any Moberly's in it. There are many variant spellings, including Mobley, Mobberley, Mobly, Maberley, etc. I am particularly interested in discovering the locations of the graves of Delilah, Robert, and Winchester P. Moberly (mother, father, and son). One or more of these may be buried in Martin Co., however. Thank you, Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn J.

This has got to be the fastest responding list group that rootsweb hosts. And, since I subscribed in the digest mode, I may not know about all of the replies yet. Anyway, a huge THANK YOU to Janet, Donna, and Valerie, and anyone else who has responded to the list that I haven't seen yet. I now have much more info about James and Wilmoth (Thacker) Ferguson than I had this morning. Jim

I am looking for any information on a John West Kirby of Indiana. He was married on September, 1873 to Susan Goodloe Peel in Lawrence county Indiana. Thanks, Pauline

According to the 1880 census, James Ferguson (spelled Fergason in the census) and his wife, Wilmoth (Thacker) Ferguson were residents of Indian Creek township. At the time of the census, they were 43 and 52 years old. Does anyone have access to cemetery records from that area that would identify which cemetery they were in and what any stones might say? Any assistance appreciated. Jim Kelly [email protected] Austin Texas

Hi all, Is there someone who would be willing to do an obit lookup for me? I am looking for Paul SHORT, who died in Lawrence Co. (probably Perry Twp.) on 14 Feb 1915. Thank you very much!
