Thank you Linda, they were pretty poor and that is entirely possible. I will keep on trying though :-) Linda Ead wrote: > > Bob, > It could be Myrtle Belle Abney does not have a tombstone. Some cemeteries > only have records from the tombstones in the cemetery. > Linda

Bob, It could be Myrtle Belle Abney does not have a tombstone. Some cemeteries only have records from the tombstones in the cemetery. Linda

Yes, I have a list of names from each township. Didn't the names come through the message. Phyllis

Aneice, There is a David OHLER b. 1 Feb. 1844 d. 11 July 1900 buried in the Elwood City Cemetery. Nothing on Anna Williams OHLER. If she died after 1908 there won't be anything as the DAC did a reading on the cemetery and they only wrote down deaths before 1908. I think that is the way they did it. Our Elwood Pipecreek genealogy society is going to start a reading on the Elwood City Cemetery this spring. It is going to be a big job as the cemetery is over 85 acres. If you have Anna's death information I can check at the Elwood Library and see if there is an obit for her. Linda

To H W Leedom, Have you selected the names for your talk at Elwood?

Looking for additions or corrections to the following: Forrest Webb, bn abt 1743, Spotsylvania Co VA, died 1823 Fayette Co IN married about 1768 to Catherine Smith bn abt 1743 died when and where? Their children: 1. Jesse, bn 17 Oct 1785, Abbeville Dist, SC died 26 Sep 1875 Frankton, Madison Co In married 11 Mar 1813 Franklin Co IN to Fanny (Frances) Hackleman 2. Forrest, Jr. 3. William 4. John Does anyone know if there were other children? Do you have further information on this family. Patricia

Thank you very much Linda, I really appreciate your help. I thought she might have died in Lapel, Engals,Fortville area, but will now search in the Noblesville area. She HAS to be somewhere in that area. ....... Bob Linda Ead wrote: > > No Myrtle Belle Abney found in Madison County Cemetery records. > Linda E.

No Myrtle Belle Abney found in Madison County Cemetery records. Linda E.

Linda, I'm looking specifically for David OHLER and Anna (Williams) OHLER. I'm assuming their birth dates would have had to be at least in the 1860's if not earlier. I know David Ohler doesn't really narrow it down much but I'm waiting on social security applications to come in at this moment to hopefully give me their middle names. Their children were born in Elwood but it seems like the family migrated more towards Anderson in later years. Any help you can give would be much appreciated. If you would like to wait until I hopefully get middle names to send to you, that would be fine.

I would suggest calling on Sunday morning (they would surely be there then), explain your dilemna and perhaps they could give you a phone number to talk to someone during the week. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2000 2:44 PM Subject: Re: [INMADISO-L] Chapman/Cottrell Cemetery > Does anyone have access to the burial list and/or church records for Mt.

Aneice, I have a friend that has Madison County Cemetery records. Send me the names you want looked up, and I'll ask him. Elwood City cemetery may not be available. The Elwood Pipecreek genealogy society is taking on this task this spring. We are in the process of reading the Sunset Memorial Cemetery in Elwood now. Linda E.

Paul, You have the right location for the cemetery. It is just > east of the town of Ingalls, Ind. on the south side of Reformatory Rd. and > east of st. Rd. 13. That is Township 18, Green Twp. I ask a friend that has access to Madison County Cemetery records. Linda E.

Linda, Do you know if there is anyone who maintains a list of people buried in cemeteries in Madison County? My great grandparents should be buried there but I'm not sure where exactly.....probably close to Elwood or Anderson, Indiana.

Dear List: I will be giving a talk before the Elwood/Pipe Creek Township Genealogy Club on February 17. My subject will be "Some Pioneer Families of Madison County". Because there are so many to choose from I have decided to pick one family from each of the 15 townships. what I need from those of you on the Madison County List is biographical information on each of these families which includes, birth, marriage and death dates, wife's name, places of birth, marriage and death, burial place. Also I need to know the occupations of each of these pioneers, clubs and organizations they were affiliated with, religious persuasion, etc. Names of children would be helpful. Also date they came to Madison County. Of course because of my work at the Anderson Public Library, I have access to a lot of material but I thought descendants of these families might be able to fill in the gaps. Thanks for your help in advance. If you are in the area you are more than welcomed to come and hear my presentation - Thursday, FEb. 17, 2000, Elwood Public Library, 7:00 p.m. The families chosen are: Anderson Tp. - Abraham Adams Anderson Tp. - John Berry Boone Tp. - Thomas Brunt ( I am not sure his family stayed in Madison County) Duck Creek Tp. - David Tranbarger Fall Creek Tp. -Isaac Busby Green Tp. - George Washington Pettigrew Jackson Tp. - John Wise Lafayette Tp. - George Bevilheimer Monroe Tp. - Micajah Chamness Pipe Creek Tp. - John S., Noah, Elliott &Jacob Waymire (I believe they were all brothers but am not positive) Richland T. - Barnabus Maynard Stony Creek Tp. - Noah Huntzinger Union Tp. - Frederick Bronnenberg Van Buren Tp. - John & Joseph Thurston I am going to give you 2 email address for me. The one at work is - [email protected] (this one will be changing soon so that is why I'm listing my home email address as well) - [email protected] Thanks again for your help. Phyllis Leedom

Does anyone have any connection to the Mowrey/Mowery families who came to Madison County, Ovid area in the 1840's? Any help would be appreciated. Marilyn Barber Danville, IN

Barbara: Thanks so much for the GARDNER information! I only see one error....Mary Ann COTTRELL m. Abner (not Abram) GARDNER. Abner and Mary Ann COTTRELL GARDNER were my gg-grandparents. Abner GARDNER, b. ca 1822 is my brick wall! I'd love to hear from someone who has information about him! Have a nice week-end!

Does anyone have access to the burial list and/or church records for Mt. Zion Lutheran Church & Cemetery in Ovid? Would love to know a contact for this church. I have tried several times to call the church itself, but no one answers. Thank you for your help. Marilyn Barber Danville, IN

Hi Linda, Thanks for the additional names. I was curious if this cemetery was on the land that my g-g-g-grandfather John Chapman homesteaded. According to the BLM-GLO records John was the patentee for the following parcels of land: E½SE of section 34 in township 18-N 6-E containing 80 acres in MADISON Co. SWSE of section 34 in the same township containing 40 acres I am guessing that township 18-N 6-E is Greene township, but I don't know that for sure. Thanks, Paul
