I just visited the site and checked for distribution on my surname for 1850 and 1920. Based on other sources of information - I rather doubt the return provided here. None the less - might be worth while to occasionally visit the site to see how this progresses.

You can order copy of book from -Owen Co Historical and Genealogical society, PO Box 569, Spencer, In 47460 Cost for Volume II (which is latest update) is 39.00 plus 2.50 postage. There is a copy in the Historical Building in Old Salem if you want to look at first. The one for sale is just a reproduction and not hardbound as is the one there. Any grave sites or info with Hilsabeck/Helsabeck prior to 1870s I would be interested in. Barry Helsabeck may have a copy of book also and lives in your area. Works for Lucent. Larry

Debbie, These are the McCullough's listed for the 1850 census in Owen Co.IN.....the Robert listed here.....is 25 years old and living in the household of William looks like Warrick?..... McCullough, Harrison J. IN Owen Wayne Township 1850 164 14 McCullough, Robert IN Owen Taylor Township 1850 164 80 McCullough, Sarah J. IN Owen Wayne Township 1850 164 14 McCullough, William IN Owen Wayne Township 1850 164 13 Let me know if I can lookup anyone else in 1850 for you. N.J. : ) in MI.

I am interested in two different marriages of a John McCullough. Either of which may possibly be of my lineage. Both of these marriages took place in PA in the late 1700's. 1. John McCULLOUGH to Margaret PETERS on November 6 1772 2. John McCULLOUGH to Jennet MORRISON on August 17 1771. Does anyone have either of these couples in their lineages, that I might be able to confirm or eliminate them from my lineage. I beleive they were both in the York or Lancaster county area.

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.

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 needing a lookup in the 1850 Owen county census for the following family: Robert McCullough about age 70 his wife, Polly about the same age This would have been in Montgomery twp I believe as the property was just NW of Carp.

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.

Does anyone have a CHAMBERS surname in their line that may have had a female child living in the household with the surname of LeMASTERS? This would have been in the time frame of 1815-1834.

Dear Bob: I am related to this line as well and would love to share information with you! My line (descending) is: Andreas Volck Andreas Volck (don't know much about his wife, Rebecca Layden?) Henry W. Fulk Eliza Susannah Fulk Rosalaine Arney Nola Long (my grandmother) Alison Scott -original message- Am interested in hearing from those with FULK lines that left North Carolina in the 1800s and settled in Indiana. They were part of the descendants from the FULK line that settled in Stokes and Surry County, NC. The primary ancestor was Andreas VOLCK. I've taken some pictures of grave markers of FULK ancestors in Surry County and here in Guilford County as well (Greensboro and High Point are our major cities in Guilford County). Am doing this for my daughter whose mother is a FULK from Pilot Mountain. Her mother's descendancy is (from her father going back): Cyrus Alexander FULK, son of John Payton FULK, son of Enoch Jacob FULK, son of Joel FULK, son of Jacob L. VOLCK, son of Wilhelm VOLCK, son of Jacob Daniel VOLCK, son of Andreas VOLCK I also have a picture of the grave marker of Andreas VOLCK, II, buried in God's Acre, Bethania Moravian Church, Bethania, NC. Bob Carter Greensboro, NC

Hey Larry!! Thanks for the reply! How can I get a copy of that book? Do you have an ISBN #, or is it locally published and distributed there? Also, the cost, shipping, etc? To help you some, I also have some pictures I scanned of FULK grave markers in Surry County. You tell me who you need, and I'll send them to you. Also, I have a copy of the Heritage of Surry County, Volume II, so if you need a lookup in it, let me know. Bob Carter Greensboro, NC

Somewhere in this disorganized room is the name of one of our "cousins" who is related to Ora one way or another. I have some data given me but for various reasons have not posted to my FTM program, nor can I put my hand on it right now. Give me a few minutes to find a name. John Larry was my great grandfather. 1. Nancy R. Scott, she is on this list and will probably answer. 2. N.J. Skinner White, ditto.

Trying to find grave site of Jurg Fredereck Hilsabeck who died just north of Bethania near muddy creek. He was supposedly buried there . The is GOLF course there now. The Hilsabecks and the Fulks intermarried as they are on my tree also. Larry Hansen
