Crawfordsville Weekly Review 23 April 1881 -- "Over the River" -- died Sunday last, Mrs. Alice Kessey wife of Thomas Kessey at the family residence 3 miles east of the city.

Thomas Kelsey died in Crawfordsville in 1905, age 60, but I cannot find him with Alice -- or indeed, cannot find him at all in 1880. I found a family of potters in Iowa born in Indiana with a Thomas of approximately the right age in 1860 -- but didn't find them again. Absolutely zero results on Kessey with any reasonable connection to Alice/Thomas/Crawfordsville. I guess the next step for someone who's not cooking Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow is a line-by-line search of the 1880 census in Montgomery County -- perhaps just the eastern townships. Good luck to anyone! Kathy> From: karen.zach@sbcglobal.net> To: INMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 22:33:49 -0500> Subject: [InMontgo] Anyone know who this is? Is it Kersey vs. Kessey ?
