Connie, I would appreciate a lookup for KENNEDY, HENDRICKS and UNDERWOOD. Thanks for the offer Virgene Ditto for me....at least the HENDRICKS name. I am trying to see if somewhere in the line,Thomas Andrews Hendricks, was a first cousin to my gr-grandfather, Emanual Burns Hendricks. This is what has been passed down for years. Any help would be appreciated. Eilene Cook

I did locate him in the 1860 census as age 71 born Va. Let me know if you need his family information from the census. Barbara

Was your Elizabeth Ringer Morris related to the Ringers from Maryland to Indianapolis in the 1820's? There are quite a few Ringers buried in a Lutheran cemetery near the State Fairgrounds. Marilyn Barber Danville, IN

I am the great great grandson of Nicholas Closser and Elizabeth Ringer Morris, for many years residents of the Summitville, IN area. One of their daughters, Margaret Almeda (b 8 Aug 1852 probably in Union County, IN and d 24 Jan 1930). In about 1869 she married Elmer Oldfield (b 1849 d 10 Nov 1938). They had 15 children, of whom 13 survived. They lived in the Summitville area. Another daughter, Elizabeth Jane (b 17 Jul 1854) m John Doe (Doc) Eastus (b about 1850) Lived near Gaston, IN. I have more information if desired. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2000 9:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [INMADISO-L] Eastes, Maynard, Oldfield, Payne, Morris, Springsteen,McLone... In reply to Letter 3/9/00 by [email protected] titled Eastes, Maynard, Oldfield, Morris, etc. Thanks for posting the names and dates from the pedigree chart. I have many of these already in my files and the more dulicates I find, the more authentic they become. The Eastes you list are the descendants of Obadiah Eastes and Francis Harvey. They were married in 1792 in Edgefield, SC and later migrated up the Wilderness Trail to KY where they bought land and lived until 1802. Then they migrated north up the White Water River west of Cincinnati (not the White River that runs through Anderson), bought land in various places and finally settled in Mt Comfort, Hancock Co. Obadiah, Francis and many of their family members are buried in the Eastes/Harvey Cemetery in Mt Comfort, which is marked with a historical marker. In 1994 I published a hardback book, The Eastes Families of Indiana that lists all know descendants of this couple. I donated a copy to the library in Anderson and in Marion where I was born. Since this book was written, many new facts have been uncovered. For example we have found that Obadiah's father was Elisha Estes/Eastus who probably came from VA and died in Roane Co., TN in 1818. I am currently scanning photographs of descendants of this family to CDs. The oldest one so far is Jane Eastes, the oldest daughter of Obediah and Francis. Jane was born in Edgefield SC in 1793 and walked with her parents and pack horses up the Wilderness Trail to KY. Jane died in 1888 so the tintype was taken before that date. I am scanning these pictures to CD to preserve them but also, I intend to write another book covering Obadiah's Father Elisha, and the descendants of Obadiah's 8 brothers and sisters. Where possible I want to insert a picture of the individuals and places of interest within the text. If anyone knows of any descendants of Obadiah and Francis Harvey who are interested in donating copies of old photographs to this project please have them contact me.

Sarah, it would be a big job to duplicate the X-ray but if you have a few pages you especially want I will xerox them and send by snail-mail. Phil

In sorting thru some of my piles (I mean files) I came across a pedigree chart, dated, 1992, but no compiler's name on the chart. As I recall, it was someone who was researching these families and thought some were my husband's lines. Some were only connected in a very round-about way. None were his lines. I have seen some of these names on the Madison, Grant & Delaware County postings, so am sending this to all three in case there might be some helpful clues. Laura May Eastes b. 5/30/1876 Blackford or Mad Co IN d. 1/--/1945 dau of John Abraham Eastes & Sarah Jane Maynard m. 10/3/1896 (noted on chart: “she had several husbands”) George H Oldfield b. 1876 Madison Co IN d. 10/3/1896 son of Elmer Oldfield (1849-1930) & Almeda Morris (1852-1930) John Abraham Eastes b. 10/17/1846, Mt.

I'm new to the list, and am interested in collaborating with any other MORRISON researchers. I have Francis Marion MORRISON born ca 1850, location unknown. He died ca 1915 in Madison County, IN. He married Frances McFARLAND, born ca 1852. Their children were Bertha M. MORRISON, born 1876 and Ninevah Manford MORRISON aka Manford MORRISON, born 1878 in Madison CO. This family and their descendants lived in the areas of Anderson, IN. Other surnames linked to this family are: CARR and ALLEN. I'm hoping some of you may find a connection?

Does anybody know the parents of this Isaiah BODKIN? 1. Isaiah BODKIN1 was born in 1850 in Henderson. He died on 11 May 1916 in Anderson, Madison, IN. He was married to Florida A. FLESHER (daughter of William Kelly FLESHER and Sevilla KNOPP). Florida A. FLESHER2 was born on 20 May 1852 in VA. She died on 4 Jan 1911 in Anderson, Madison, IN. Isaiah BODKIN and Florida A. FLESHER had the following children: 2 i. Atna BODKIN3. 3 ii. Arthur BODKIN4. +4 iii. Cora BODKIN. +5 iv. Otis BODKIN. SECOND GENERATION 4. Cora BODKIN5. She was married to James BRONNENBERG. 5.

Hi Listers, I wonder if anybody knows of the ARBOGAST family of Madison Co, IN. Also involves John M. MOSS 1787-1865 m. Ann Abigale Arbogast. Thanks. Ray in Denver

Darn it ! Dad Blast it ! Dog Gone ! Bummer ! I'm sorry to seem so upset Barbara, but no that is not the family line I'm searching for. :( I had a feeling you were going to say yes. We are not related to that group. I'll see what I can do about finding you a connection tho. I do know Ray and Wilma ahd a son named Frank, but I have no idea where he is these days. I called my sister-n-law and she said Frank and Maroline were the only children they had. Maroline was killed in a car wreck years ago. Have you seen a copy of Ray's book Excetra (I hope I spelt it right) ? I know the Alexandria Historical Soc. has a copy of it. I will try to find Frank for you, but don't know if he is in IN. still or moved out of state. Good luck on your searching. Maybe some day I'll find our DAVIS line. :) Marcie in IN. -----Original Message----- From: Barbara L Richardson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 11:07 AM Subject: Re: [INMADISO-L] Davis's in Orestes ???? >Marcie, That's the one!!

Hi Phyllis, Yes, I looked thru that file one day and it isn't my family (darn it). There's quite a bit in that file for anyone who can match up to them tho. Oh, are you going with a group to Ft. Wayne ? Good luck when you go there and have fun. I'm planning on Ft. Wayne for April 26 and 27. Cindy from this list is a double cousin (WARD and WAYMIRE) to my hubby and she is coming in April, so we are going to Ft. Wayne. :) I'm coming to see YOU tomorrow tho. :) You are working tomorrow right ?? lol!

Okay Sarah and Nikki, Now you both have done it! Are any of those Davises and Gustins from Alexandria? I'm looking for my husband's family. They are from the Alexandria and Orestes and Elwood area. Any body have families from there? Barbara Richardson

I think that Ruth Sargent is for sure. The others I am not sure about. Wish I could see your X-ray. I have the 1910 X-ray, by the way. It has my Grandfather, Merle F. Gustin, and my Grand Uncle, Verne Lail, but that is it. No Clarks & no Sargents.
