Donna, I'm not sure how I read your original post... but, I somehow thought you were asking about Henry "Baugh". After looking back over some old emails I see that you were asking about Leatha Bales and Henry Bales! So, forget what I sent about Henry Baugh. Here is the Bales Lineage which includes Henry Curtis Bales. Leatha was Henry's aunt... Is this the right Henry? 1 John Bales 1792 - .. +Rachael Hamilton ..... 2 John Bales ..... 2 Talton?

Hi Russ... The Franklins you mention, John T. (b ca 1843) and Noah (b ca 1858) are brothers. They are sons of Moses Franklin (1810-1894) and Mary Johnson ( b ca 1812). I'm not sure who the woman (J. T. Franklin) is. There is a nice write up on your George Washington Defore in the "Owen County ~a history~ 1994", but I did not see any connection to the Franklin Family... but one never knows. I look forward to seeing the pictures on the Sweet Owen site! Just another little piece of my family puzzle!

Nice to meet you Donna. Because this has so many names, I am going to go ahead and send it to the mail list. I have quite a lot on the Baugh family but very little on your Henry. The Baughs that I do have are mostly in Monroe County. I'm not sure if you are familiar with this part of the country, but Monroe is right next to Owen. I have a great deal on the Bales. They married into the Baugh family. Here is what I have on your Leatha Bales. There is more, but I thought I would start with some of the earlier direct lines. Following the Bales lineage I have given some of my Baugh records to see if you can tie HENRY into it! Let me know if we have any Baugh connections :) In the book "Owen County Indiana ~a history~ 1994" there is this interesting tidbit on a Henry Baugh. I do not know if it is Leatha's Henry. "Henry Baugh was town (Spencer, Owen Co., Ind) marshal and it was part of his job each show night to keep order in the Opera House gallery and try to catch the youngsters who preferred to "slip in" by climging up a drain spout on the north side of the building, to enter through a window which some pal had unlatched."

I wanted to let you know that on MyFamily sites you can put photos in albums. That way you pull up the album names and only see the photos in that album. You could put your photos with the county and/or county and surname; ie.. Owen: Summerlot. You are limited to the length of the album name, but there are a lot of ways to work it. All Owen could be put under Owen Co. album, Morgan under Morgan Co. album, etc. I have several sites myself, as well as being on a few others. Since you are limited to space on each site, with many people posting things it might be a good idea to make a different site for each county. You can put all of your sites on one so you only have to remember one user name and password and you can go from one site to another very easily. That way, if someone doesn't care to see other counties, they don't have to join that site. I have found many family members lived in various counties from Vigo to Johnson and all in between, so it is always a good idea to check others out too. As for the "Unidentified Photos" I have some sites with an album named "Who Am I". There are so many counties close that it is possible you may find some of your family in photos, such as family reunions, that were taken in areas you never would think of. Just my two cents worth to add to yours.

Patrick, Here's the text from the BOLIN article. Have fun - Pat SHUBEL C. BOLIN From Owen County to Minnesota Territory (reprinted from "Owen County Ancestry" by Vivian Zollinger, "Spencer Evening World", Thursday, August 12, 1999) Shubel C. Bolin may not be on your list of Owen County's famous ancestors, but that's because he had to leave here in a hurry while he was still a young man. He was handsome, full of himself, and not afraid to take risks. He lived fas and died in the prime of life in a terrible accident. But not until he had a stormy marriage or two, at least one damning divorce, and a messy bastardy suit to deal with - all in Owen County before he was twenty-seven. Shubel C. Bolin (there were other Shubel Bolins around here so we have to try to keep them straight - not an easy task) was a son of Harbard Bolin (or in many records spelled Boling, or even Bowling). Harbard's 1859 estate papers name a wife, Shubel C. who was probably the oldest son, Rachel, Margaret, Noah, Pleasant, Olive, and Terra or Terry. Home at the time was on the Clay County side of the Owen-Clay County line. Guardianship documents in 1846 list all children as under the age of 21 and in Owen County, probably Morgan Township. By the next year Shubel may have married Elizabeth Nichols. We can't be sure this is the same Shubel. If it is, we don't know how that marriage ended. There is a Civil Court case in March 1850 where a Shubel Bolin sues Elizabeth Bolin for divorce and the case was dismissed. We do know that he married Elizabeth Virginia Smiley, December 5, 1850. It was not a happy marriage. Elizabeth had plenty to complain about and she did it in court. She charged him with adultery from the first of the following September "and on divers other days and nights for the space of three months" with one Eliza Smiley. I know. You aren't the only one confused by the similarity of names. Elizabeth charged Shubel with coming at her with a loaded pistol and with being a habitual drunkard and gambler, and with failing to provide for her. As if that weren't enough trouble Eliza turned on him. She filed a bastardy shit. She bore his son September 12, 1852 and wanted him to admit his paternity and pay up. It took a year to find him, but find him they did, and he owned up and paid up. Fifty-five dollars. Eliza said that was support and maintenance in full for her child and let him off the hook. About the same time Elizabeth, the wife, got her divorce and Shubel went up the river - or down the river, them up. He hopped a bout and made his way to Minnesota Territory. If anybody needed a fresh start he did. Congress opened up Minnesota Territory after treaties wit the Indians and settlers began to come. It was a land of rich soil, valuable timber, and plenty of water. A man could make it big there. A descendant, Frances Carlson, has scores of deeds Shubel collected up there on both sides of the Mississippi River. His scheme - and it was a lucrative one - was to remove the timber and sell the cleared land and the lumber to farmers flocking to the new land. But he needed a wife. So in 1857 he married thirteen-year-old Julia Hill, a neighbor. They settled on a beautiful spot and he dealt big time in lumber and land. The couple had three handsome sons and two beautiful daughters. They were Jasper "Jap" (1860), Clara Amy (1863), Cassius M. "Cash (1865), Everett Valentine "Doc" (1868), and Jessie Olive (1875). It is said that none of the children knew anything about their father's early life. It's as if his life began right there near Lake Pepin. Somewhere in his stormy youth, he was shot in his own house during a card game. Maybe that was here in Owen County. He was know to despise the English. We don't know why. Frances said Shubel bought a big Bible one time and gave it to his youngest son so he could see what a devil his father was. Was that a reference to his Owen County troubles? About 1870 the Bolins settled at Warrentown where Shubel built an impressively large house overlooking the lake. But the house was never completed. May 27, 1877, Shubel was hauling lumber and stacked shingles on top of the load. The mule team started up a hill and the load shifted. Shubel was thrown to the ground, shingles on top of him, and a wagon wheel ran over his chest. He lived less than three hours. His youngest child was only two. Julia would have to go on somehow. She opened the house to boarder and years later married one of them, Jackson Baker. And she became known in her neighborhood as a skilled midwife. She lived to be ninety. With all Shubel had been through and dying in such a violent accident, he deserved to rest in peace. But he didn't. Somebody dug him up. And rumors circulated that a skeleton hung in a barn about a mile away from the empty grave. One of Shubel's granddaughters is still living and her stories through Frances Carlson are making their way back here to the ancestral home of one very notable Owen County man who is known here on through court records. He's still a mysterious figure, but now we know him a little better. (We thank Frances Carlson, 16800 175th Street E., Hastings, MN 55033, for sharing information about her great-grandfather. She descends from Shubel's son Cassias. The two daughters grace our cover.)

I have two good tintypes of 3 Franklins from a 1881 photo album I inherited from my grandmother, Rhoda Trent. She was born in Freedom, Owen Co., Indiana. Anyway, I do not know how these people relate or if they even do so to myself. One photo is of a woman, J.T. Franklin, probably in her 60-70's. The other photo is of two men in their late 20's, early 30's, specifically John T. Franklin with Noah Franklin. I'm sure they must relate to someone one the Owen Co. list. Next month I will be getting a scanner, so they will be available then. Hope this helps someone. Russ Bickers, West Hollywood, California. Grandson of John Wesley Trent, Great-great grandson of George Washington Defore, both of Owen Co.

By the way, I forgot to mention there should be a category for unidentified photos already on the page. If not when you place a photo there is a section below that asks what category and if you don't see it then just type in UNIDENTIFIED PHOTOS in the space provided and it will create the category. Debbie Jennings debbiej@iquest.net "Following the footprints through time"

Teressa Thanks for your opinions they are helpful. But sorry to let you know that the Sweet Owen Website is actually called Sweet Owen and surrounding Areas It is in the top of the page. You have already been sifting through other counties without realizing it so I guess we are keeping them separate enough. I have the categories separate so if you only want to search one county then you can. The counties are listed like: Owen County Burials/Morgan County Burials and so forth so really it has always been there. But thanks for your advice, I appreciate you taking the time. Debbie Jennings debbiej@iquest.net "Following the footprints through time"

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to set up an area for "Unidentified Photos". I have several old photos that I would like to be able to identify. I have numerous class photos from Freedom/New Hope areas, some children's pictures, as well as adults... I'm sure if we all put our heads together, we can get them all named. As far as extending the site to include other areas, hmmmmm. The best thing about the SWEET OWEN site is that it is "Local". I'm not sure I would also want to have to sort through Morgan County... only because I do not have any research for Morgan. I mainly extend into Greene and Monroe. I could see this expanding into a giant that would be hard to share local info. I have found this site to be extremely efficient! I have a LOT!!! of photos that I want to upload. I just need to finish up a couple of projects first... If you know what I mean. That is my 2 cents worth. You are doing a super job and I appreciate all of your hard work!!! Terresa

Thank you, that is interesting info and may help me find out generally where along that road that house might have been.
