I am fron this line and would love to see ANYTHING you have to show, including grave markers. My line runs from Andreas Volck Jr to Maria Magdalena Fulk who married Henry Arney and so and and so forth.... Please let me know what I can help you with and what you could share with me. Thanks April

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.

I am researching an ancestor by the name of Austin DAVIS, who last appears on the 1880 Census of Owen Co., IN as a resident of the county home. He is listed as aged 30, married, and "insane". My question is, where would records of the home be located, how would one have been 'committed' to the county home during this time period, and if any one else is researching this family? ===== Travis LeMaster travis_lemaster@yahoo.com 208 E.

I'm not sure of the accuracy of this tool... but it is definitely interesting. Enter a surname (last name) into the form and you'll get a map of the United States showing the distribution of people with this surname within the 50 United States. This map is often helpful when trying to determine a starting point for genealogy projects. The source of this data is the 1850 Census, 1880 Census, 1920 Census, and 1990's phone books. Note that the Census data is a sampling of 1 in 100 names, so the 1990 data is the most accurate. It just might give you a hint where you need to look. http://genbooks.hypermart.net/search/distribution.html

I found in Index to Marriage Record, Owen County 1850-1920, a Sarah J. Medaris and Elijah S. Starrett married on March 51,1888, book 32 page 327 entry. I wonder if there could be a connection with your Sarah? My great grandfather was named Elijah S. Starrett. He was married several times. I do not have a lot on him. I have not done much research on that side of the family yet. Please e-mail me at cbranson@ccrtc.com if you have anything that you would like to share. In this same Index book it lists a Reuben Spear and a Sarah C. Medaris Dec. 31,1876 book 30 page580. The M in Medaris is not real clear. ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Spear Keller <mountainpines@peoplepc.com> To: <INOWEN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2001 12:07 AM Subject: [INOWEN] SPEAR FAMILY IN OWEN CO. > Posted on: Owen County In.

I also have an Owen County Medaris that I am trying to track down. Frances Lou Vicci Medaris b. March 20, 1841 in Owen. She died November 09, 1875 in Monroe County. Most of the Medaris families are now located in Monroe (neighbor of Owen County). My Frances married William Thomas Sparks. Susan Spear Keller wrote: > > Posted on: Owen County In.

Posted on: Owen County In. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Owen/1318 Surname: SPEAR, MEDARIS ------------------------- I am looking for the family of origin of Ruben Spear. He married Sarah Catherine Medaris 12/31/1876 in Owen Co. (though I have been told the records reflect a Feb. date, the Dec. date is from the family bible). I do not know Ruben's father's or mother's name. His birthplace was reported to be Ohio. His sibling's names included Mary Ann, Robert, and Sophia. I have found the name Spear in the 1870 census index several times but do not which family is his or even if any of these are. He was certainly old enough to be in Owen County without his family as his birthdate is 9/30/1848 (28 at time of marriage).

I would be interested in corresponding with anyone who is researching the Andrew Modrell line of Owen county. I am trying to find the names of his children. This is the same Andrew Modrell who prior to living in Owen county he lived in Pulaski county KY.

I thought that but we had to go to Richmond today so won't get to go until Saturday .. Center Point is in Clay co and it is a genealogy library (speciallty library) -- it is open on wednesday and saturday afternoons from 1-4 .. no charge to use the library -- but will offer you membership in the society which is only like 12.50 a year.. they have a lot of stuff and I mean a lot.. it is all volunteer help but they do try to help. then you run the chance of running into us who are noisey and try to help also.. we have met several people just sticking our noses in .. I am usually too shy but the rest of the group gets me started and then watch out.. On Wed, 10 Jan 2001 10:54:49 -0500 "T.
