Larry I would personally go with the FamilyTreeMaker site. Reason being that although the Ancestry.com site has the census images, it is a separate fee to view them over and above the one for membership. Both sites are great with info,but the census images would be a big draw for the Ancestry site and to have to pay an additional 99.95 for them is just too much. FamilyTreeMaker has the 1850 census images inclusive in their pricing with access to other items. That's my two cents worth.

I'll second Debbie's comment. Also, the quality of the images is vastly better at the GenealogyLibrary.com (Family Tree Maker) site. One thing I am concerned about, however, is Genealogy.com's commitment to support the Family Tree Maker and GenForum sites since they took over in November. Their online support has been less than stellar. Because of this, I just passed over after $49.95 renewal offer that ended yesterday. You may be able to still get this one if you ask. Some companies are lax on extensions if they haven't met their expected quota. Also, they did not add the 1900 Census to this subscription but instead made it a separate offer.

Hi All I'm considering joining one of the fee sites. Can anyone give me the relative merits of Ancestry.com versus FamilyTreeMaker.com? Thanks. Larry Copley moses@stlnet.com

Hi Elaine, Do you know anything about the parentage of your Harriet Fiscus Hauser? Am looking at my Bowen line where a Harriet Bowen marries a William Hauser in Owen on 21 Feb 1841. Is your Harriet actually a Hauser by birth or by marriage? Am wondering whether this Weatherly marriage could be second marriage of my Harriet Bowen. Thanks, Judy Weisberg, Columbus, OH.

I have a Daniel Keifauber b. ca 1871 and died 1 June 1890 in Owen Co., Ind. He was raised by Asbury Jarvis. He was a member of the Church of Christ. Do you think Daniel is part of the same family you're looking for? Sincerely, Elaine

I'm a former Owen County resident. Researching George A Ritter - Martha Busby family who lived in Lafayette Twp. George came to Owen Co from Monroe County before that Kentucky, and maybe Maryland before that. Martha Busby is daughter of James Busby who lived near Freedom. My surnames are: Matkins, Need, Long, Johnson, McCreary, Ritter, Busby, Willey. These names don't appear very often. I hope there are some on list researching these names.

Hello AK, I thought that I would try a lookup for you on Family Tree Maker CD # 243 (Indiana Marriage Index, 1851- 1900) The closest that I could find was a Catharine Keiffaber who married Joseph Obringer in Wabash County on Oct. 20, 1881. I realize that the surname is spelled slightly different, (KEiffeaber rather than KIeffaber) but it may be a place to start.

Re the cemetery: I believe it is called St. Peter's Reformed Cemetery and is across the street from the church, now St. Peter's United Church of Christ.

I am researching the following lines in the Owen county area and any help or exchange would be welcome. 1. Jesse Jones b. 1824 d. 1888 married Sarah Young 2. Andrew Evans b. 1759 d. 1840 through his son David Evans who married Elizabeth McCullough 3. John McCullough b. 1755 d. between 1836-1840 lived in the Montgomery twp/Wayne twp area. 4. John Carter,Jr. b.1-2-1813 married Eliza Nutterfield and migrated to the Owen county area from KY around 1832. Resided in the area around Quincy before migrating on to Putnam county area about 1860 Debbie Jennings debbiej@iquest.net "Following the footprints through time" Researching in IN,KY,TN,NC,PA,NJ,VT,NY,MA,MD, VA,CAN,GER,ENG

My line descends from Andrew EVANS and Elizabeth FAIN. Andrew EVANS b. 9-28-1759 in Mecklenburgh county NC and he and Elizabeth FAIN married about 1781 in Washington county TN. They later migrated to Owen county IN where Andrew died 12-5-1840. I am interested in finding the parents of Andrew EVANS. I have seen various claims that his lineage proceeds as: David Evans--father Peter--grandfather Lot Evans II--great grandfather Lot Evans I--gg grandfather. As of yet however, I can find no proof of this. Anywhere I have seen this listed there is never any clue as to the poster so I can write for documentation. Does anyone have any information on this line? Debbie Jennings debbiej@iquest.net "Following the footprints through time" Researching in IN,KY,TN,NC,PA,NJ,VT,NY,MA,MD, VA,CAN,GER,ENG

I am searching for any information regarding an Anna E. Workman who lived in and around the Rowan County NC area about 1795.Anna was born about1776. She married Ephraim Goss on March 23,1795 in Rowan county NC. They migrated to Washington county IN about 1810 and then on to Owen county IN in 1818. Anna died there on Sept 19, 1854. This couple had 10 children and I would be interested in sharing any data. I am trying however to locate who her parents were or at least eliminate any Workman/Wortman in the 1790 Rowan county NC census.

FWIW, Can't answer your question directly, but my great-grandfather's youngest sister married a David Keefover, also have see the spelling Keifauber. David is buried in Palestine Cemetery, also called the Christian Cemetery, Lafayette Twp, Owen County. He died in 1913. David and Henry may be related. I have never researched that family. >Looking for my great great uncle. He died on his wedding day of a heart >attack. How wild, huh. His name is Henry Adam Kieffaber. Don't know brides >name.

I am researching the JONES surname in Owen county as it pertains to the lineage of JESSE JONES (born 10-6-1824 died 1-9-1888) who married Sarah YOUNG (b.4-27-1825 d. 11-8-1912). Jesse and Sarah were married 4-25-1839 in I believe Union county IN. They were the parents of 10 children. These children tie into various Owen county surnames. 1. Elijah born 1840 married Christina SHOPPELL. 2. William born 1841 married Mary KELLY 3. James born 1846 (no info) 4. Thomas born 1847 (mentioned in detail below) 5. Sampson born about 1850 married Minerva McCLURE 6. John born 1853 married Minnie BEAMAN 7. Emily born 1855 married Enos DAY 8. Anderson born 1857 (mentioned in detail below) 9. Harrison born 1867 (no info) 10. Daniel born unknown and no info I descend from 2 of these. 1) son-Thomas Jefferson born 7-26-1847 died 6-30-1907. He married Harriet Elizabeth SWEENEY (b.11-19-1855 d. 12-12-1918).She was the daughter of John G & Rutha (BRADSHAW) SWEENEY. Thomas and Harriet were the parents of 13 children. I descend in one way or another through 3 of them. 2) son-Anderson born 3-13-1857 died 7-17-1927.He married Frances Catherine Knipe (daughter of John W & Eva (JOB) KNIPE.) Frances is the niece of Susannah Knipe who married John KNOLL (of course another line of mine). I realize this is a lengthy post. But I also realize there were 3 Jesse Jones in Owen county about the same time frame and they all married a Sarah. I am hoping by providing the details above I might zero in on my Jesse and Sarah.

Hello, Looking for my great great uncle. He died on his wedding day of a heart attack. How wild, huh. His name is Henry Adam Kieffaber. Don't know brides name. Any help appreciated. Also, can anyone tell me the name of the cemetery next to the St. Peter's Reformed church? AK

For everyone on the list, I'm not the list Mom but everyone can get a historical look at everyone's queries by looking at the rootsweb.com list archives. Try going to this URL: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/usa/IN/owen.html It gives you instructions on how to look at what others have asked about or are looking for in their queries and posts. The "Browse" URL (at the bottom) is sorted by month and year, and the "Search Archives" URL goes back to 1997. Not trying to tell everyone how to use the list, but searching the archives avoids having everyone to repost what they're looking for, and in essence, eliminates the "roll call." :-) Bob Carter Greensboro, NC
