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.
