< Do you have an Arthur Scott in your line? There is an Arthur Scott who is administrator of estate of my John Bowen died in Owen in 1852. >> Judy, I do not have an Arthur SCOTT in my SCOTT family database, unless Arthur was a middle name that I'm not aware of? Seems that sometimes people went by their first names and sometimes their middle names. Funny you should mention John BOWEN....as I have a John BOWEN b. 1847 m. Martha Jane REDNOUR b. 1852....they lived in the Freedom area......could he have been a son of your's who died 1852? Or possible grandson? I don't really have any family info on my John B. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you. N.J.Skinner White in MI.
Do you have an Arthur Scott in your line? There is an Arthur Scott who is administrator of estate of my John Bowen died in Owen in 1852. Am wondering if he is relative of John Bowen.

I seek information on, or connections to, Harvey Stephens, Malinda Browning, Bolen Greenberry Baugh, Lydia Ann Baugh, and Lydia A. Thompson. My gr-gr-grandfather, Harvey Stephens, married Malinda Browning in Hendricks Co, IN on 17 April 1852. The marriage license application said she was born in Indiana and he was born in Tenn. about 1830-35. I can find no record of their births, nor the names of their parents. They named their first son John W. Stephens III (my gr-grandfather) when he was born on 25 May 1853 in Owen Co, IN. John W. Stephens III then married Lydia Ann (aka Lyda Ann and Lydie Ann) Baugh in Owen Co. on 23 Dec 1872 when she was either 22 or 24 and he was 19. Lydia was born on 28 Feb 1850 in Owen Co. to Bolen Greenberry Baugh and the former Jennie Edwards. (However, she is listed as 12 years old in the 1860 census with her parents in Jennings Township, Owen Co. This means she was born in 1848, not 1850?) Jennie(aka Jinney, Jenny and Jinny) Edwards had been born on 13 Sept 1816 in Harrison Township, Owen Co. to Cassius Edwards and Lydia A. Thompson. Bolen Greenberry Baugh had been born in Kentucky, according to the 1860 census. Their marriage was on 14 Jan 1844 in Owen Co (Owen Co. marriages, Book B, p 207). Terri Malinowski in Seattle
Sorry I cannot help with your Catherine Brown... but this is a little history as taken from the book "Owen County Indiana ~a history~ 1994". THE CURRY FAMILY It is true the name Curry is not a well known name in Owen County today though the descendants of Thomas Curry had a lasting influence on the area. Thomas Curry of Jefferson County, Kentucky married Sarah McCarty, daughter of Nicholas McCarty of the same area. Among their children were six daughters who married and whose families helped populate the eastern portion of Owen County and the western townships of Morgan County. Literally hundreds of their descendants are citizens of this area today. Mary Elizabeth Curry married Rodham Seaton and their descendants are found among the Seatons, Risingers, Donaldson, and Littells of Owen County history. Anne Curry married James Thompson. Descendants married into the Gregson, Fidler and other area families though most of this line subsequently moved on westward. Sarah Curry married Isaac Braiser and marriages in this line were with the Walters, McGinnis, and Alexander families. Catherine Curry married James Farr and later day Owen County descendants include the Wilsons, Burtons, and Stierwalts. Sisters Margaret and Jane Curry married brothers Bartlett and John Asher in Kentucky before moving to the Owen County area. Their descendants represent the largest number of Curry descendants to be found today in the vicinity of Gosport. In this line are also found many descendants of William Mcintosh Walters and Catherine Asher; Richard C. Walters and Frances Asher; Frederick Stierwalt and Mary Jane Asher; and Henry Hancock and Charlotte Asher to mention only a few. Martha Donaldson, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Kenner (Seaton) Donaldson and granddaughter of Rodham and Mary Elizabeth (Curry) Seaton married Milo D. Littell, son of Abraham and Jerusha Elizabeth (Van Buskirk) Littell. Milo Littell was born in 1816 in Clark County, Indiana and was six years of age when his parents came to Owen County. Here he grew to manhood and spent many years carrying the products of the area down the White, Wabash, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans on a flat-boat. He would then sell his produce, dispose of the logs of his craft, and walk the Natchez Trace northward to Nashville, Tennessee and then the Indian trails back to Gosport, Indiana. The trip would take as much as three months to complete. Milo Littell continued this practice until he was almost 40 years of age before he married and settled down to a life of farming. Submitted kv Noble K. Lurch of Sebring, Florida, sixth great grandson of Rodham and Mary Elizabeth (Curry) Seaton and great grandson of Milo D. and Martha (Donaldson) Lute 11. Milo D. and Martha Ann (Donalfson) Littell about 1875. ------------------------------------------ Nancy Havill Wortman wrote: > > Joseph ASHER b. 2/5/1812 in Jefferson Co., KY, son of John and Jane H. > Curry ASHER, m.

A glimmer of hope???!!!! Please give me more information on your Thompsons. You are the first that I have seen that may connect. We certainly seem to have a lot in common and hopefully a fit... My John and Mary (Martin) Thompson were both born in Belfast, County Down, Ireland about 1818. Immigrated to New York about February 1848-9. Were in Pennsylvania at least til about 1852 where Robert was born. In Indiana by 1854 when son Hugh was born. They lived in Greene, just on the border of Owen (near New Hope). Most records are in Spencer, Owen County as it was much closer than the county seat in Bloomfield. My John's father was said to be Hugh from Scotland. Here is my John's family.

I am looking for MEDARIS's of my own. By the date of Frances Lou's birth I would guess that she could be a niece to my G-g-grandfather (Stephen Medaris b. 1823) at least I am pretty sure they are closely related no matter the spelling (there are many variations but one family, I understand). You will see my posted query dated 1/1/01. If I find her name in my search I will let you know. For now...did you happen to check the marriage licence data base? There are several Medaris/Medearis marriages on the same page as my G-Ggrandfather's. And remember don't pay much attention to the spelling. I suppose you already know about the big Medaris/Madaris/McDaris/Medearis family web site. Good luck! Let me know! S.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: T.
