In response to recent mention of the Weir / Ware family, thought I'd post the little that I know from my research of the Yager family. I looked for the Michael Cemetery when I passed through Montgomery Co. in July 2009 but was not able to find it. Cathi 118. Elizabeth Wayman (Elizabeth Clore, Barbara Yager, Adam, Nicholas) was born estimated about 1786 in Virginia. She died 1843 in Union Township, Montgomery County, Indiana[i] and was buried in Michael Cemetery, Union Township, Montgomery County, Indiana. She married first James Williams 12 June 1804 in Campbell County, Kentucky.[ii] He died about 1806 - 1807 in Campbell County, Kentucky.[iii] She married second Alexander Weir/Ware 2 June 1814 in Campbell County, Kentucky.[iv] He was born between 1776 - 1780 in Pennsylvania.[v] He died 1832 in Union Township, Montgomery County, Indiana[vi] and was buried in Michael Cemetery, Union Township, Montgomery County, Indiana.[vii] Records of James Williams: 1805 James Williams taxed in Campbell County, Kentucky for 1 white male over 21.[viii] 1806 James Williams taxed in Campbell County, Kentucky for 1 white male over 21.[ix] Records of Alexander Weir: Alexander Weir served in the War of 1812.[x] NOTE -- There was another Alexander Weir/Ware who was born 1780 in Pennsylvania and died 1852 in Montgomery County, Indiana. He resided in both Campbell County, Kentucky and Union Township, Montgomery County, Indiana at the same time this Alexander Weir/Ware resided in those places. These two Alexanders appear to have been approximately the same age which makes it difficult to know which one is being referred to in the pre-1850 census records. Adding to the complication only one can be found in Campbell County, Kentucky in 1810 and Montgomery County, Indiana in 1830 although both are found in Campbell County, Kentucky in 1820. They are also buried in cemeteries located just a short distance apart so perhaps were related.

Hi Karen, Thanks for the response. Now, where to start...(sorry for the long response, but with ancestry, I find explicit is better) As far as the Weir/Ware thing...it's not necessarily that out of the question. Willis and Susannah actually were living in Henry county, Kentucky when they were married. It also appears that Willis may have had deeds in Gallatin county, Kentucky. And some of Susannah's May family relatives appear to have lived in Carroll county, Kentucky as well. The three counties are closer than Nelson...however, they are still quite some distance to Campell. Regarding deeds, there is an entry deed for Willis and appears to be an exit deed as well, which was taken care of by his wife. Because of this, it is difficult to tell whether he had passed by this point in time or not. I made copies of these deeds awhile ago, but have to get organizing again... Things are a little cluttered. The daughter was married in 20 Jun 1837, and there is a marriage record for it. I forgot to make a copy when visiting the area, unfortunately. So, that is on my list of things to do when I make it down there next time. However, a birth record for John Ware seems unlikely to find, because births were not commonly recorded in that period. I have the exact date as recording and kept within the family, and the month and year are confirmed by his appearance within the 1900 census. But no official birth record. I also recall checking the guardian dockets but to no avail. I believe it's probably unlikely if the mother, Susannah, was alive that such a record would exist. A will, on the other hand is a possibility. I remember searching for one with no luck while on my visit to the area. I did find a Willis Hewes in LaPorte county on the 1840 census with approximately the correct number of females and males as I had children. They are also living in the same general area as John Binyon, the man who married Willis and Susannah's daughter, Nancy. Without any additional information, I've had a lot of difficulty determining whether this is simply a coincidence or if the last name, Hewes, was spelled incorrectly, and the family was actually living in LaPorte during the 1840 census. I am trying to find any additional information within Montgomery county that I may have missed which could lead me to more information on this matter. Finally, to touch on your mention of Amos Andrews and marriage with Susannah - I truly do not know that answer. I could not find any death information about a Susannah (or variations) Andrews in LaPorte or surrounding counties. Again, during this time frame, deaths are very difficult to pinpoint. No cemetery records have provided any help yet, either. The only thing I know is that Amos Andrews is living, widowed, in Porter county with a Sheffield family - note that one of Willis and Susannah's other daughters was Ellen, who married a Jesse Sheffield (probably a brother of the one in the census). A 20 year difference is not unheard of...though it is a bit of a stretch. I have yet to find evidence of a daughter named Susannah in any other contexts. I plan on writing to the Porter and LaPorte lists soon also. But I would like to exhaust my possibilities for information in Montgomery first :-) If you have any other thoughts or ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you again for reading all this!

Welcome, Christopher Weedall -- hope you enjoy the list - we're pretty active. The Ware middle name intriqued me as we have a Weir (which is spelled a dozen different ways including the Ware) -- I got excited thinking they may have come from Nelson Co KY but they were in Campbell which isn't very close. Shucks - so much for my great idea. Of course, the land records if he was a farmer would confirm him being here and possibly tell where they came from. There may be a marriage affidavit that would confirm a relationship when the daughter married here and there may be a probate record if the daughter stayed here or he died here before the others went north. He may have left a will also, other than that I can't think of anything that would help. I checked the Guardian dockets and although there were Hughes early on not hi family. Interesting time frame to be here and such a short time frame, as well. I do wonder about Susannah -- the only Amos Andrews I found up there was 20 years younger than she. I wondered if they had a daughter Susannah? On 10/25/2010 12:31 AM, Christopher Weedall wrote: > Dear Fellow Researchers, > > I am fairly new to the list and thought I should say hello.

You are definitely nuts, but in a nice-for-genealogists way! Making more work for yourself! Tonight my printer's out of ink, and I'm not into twisting my neck around for that much type. Tomorrow is another day!

Wow! That's a LOT of VanCleaves! Do you know anything about the VanCleaves in general -- where they were before they got to Montgomey Co? Supposedly, Martin V. Wert's middle name was VanCleave, but I can find no relation to the family at all. (There would only be a few years when the family was in Montgomery Co before he was born, so I believe I would be looking for Van Cleave's in Hunterdon Co, New Jersey.)

Dear Fellow Researchers, I am fairly new to the list and thought I should say hello. So, Hello! Now that all the formalities are out of the way, I would like to inquire if any of you has been researching a Hughes/Hughs family? There is a particular family that I have had a difficult tracing. They came from Kentucky and lived in Montgomery county for about 10-15 years before moving northward into Lake/Porter/LaPorte counties. The time frame was from about 1827 until about 1840. The parents were Willis Hughes/Hughs and Susannah May. The former being born about 1790-1794 and latter being born about 1796. Willis' birthplace is unknown, but Susannah's birthplace was Nelson county, Kentucky. They had five children that I am aware of. But I believe the number could very well be more. The children born in Kentucky were Nancy B., Ellen, Mildred Jane, and Gabriel Burr. An additional son, John Ware, was born in Montgomery county, Indiana in 1837. The family seemed to come around the same time as Susannah's father and brother, Allen May Sr. and Allen May Jr. However, at some point between 1837 and 1842, Willis Hughes/Hughes seems to have moved northward to Lake, Porter, or LaPorte county...or possible another county between those listed and Montgomery county. Here, the trail goes cold. All of the children appear in 1851 in either Lake or Porter counties. The girls have married by this time. One daughter, Nancy B. Hughes was married in Montgomery county prior to moving northward with the family. However, the two known sons, Gabriel Burr and John Ware, were too young and appear to be living in either an orphanage or guardian's home. Susannah (nee May) Hughes appears to have remarried an Amos Andrews in Porter county in 1842. Sometime between then and 1850, she appears to have died. Because Willis and Susannah lived for sometime in Montgomery county, I am trying to find more clues as to where they died and were buried. I really do not know if it was in Montgomery, Lake, Porter, LaPorte, or some other county. But, precisely because they lived in Montgomery county for some time, I thought that some other Montgomery county researchers may be familiar with this family. As an added note, the family appears to have their surname spelled in Montgomery county usually as Hughs (without the E), but as Hughes in most other places. To sum up the family, below is a quick list of the individuals from the family and their (approximate) birth and death dates: birth death Willis Hughes (1790 - 1794) – (1837 - 1842) Susanah May (1796 - 1800) – (1842 - 1850) Nancy B. Hughes 1822 – 1900 Ellen Hughes 1825 – 1866 Mildred Jane Hughes 1829 – 1898 Gabriel Burr Hughes 1829 – ?? John Ware Hughes 1837 – 1907 I hope this is enough information. If you have any questions or information, please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much! Regards, Chris Weedall

Kathy sent me a VanCleave obit to add - when I added it, I noticed I had one heck of a lot of VanCleave obits on the Montgomery site, so I counted them. Had 89 so I searched in my files and thought, "I can make 100 tonight - guess what, I was on such a roll, that I went through all the male VanCleaves and think I ended-up with about 120 or so, so if you have VanCleaves (who doesn't?) in your family background, you might want to check those out :) Hope someone finds goodies :) KZ Here is the link to the V-index http://ingenweb.org/inmontgomery/obituaries/v/obits-v-index.htm
