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.

Here are my surnames that came through Owen Co. Hilsabeck, Fiscus, Bowen, Arney, Volck, Schmidt Larry Hansen - ldhansen60@aol.com

Owens Co.In. History, 1884 HENRY BAUGH, City Marshal, is a native of Putnam County, In., born Feb. 12, 1839.

I am researching the Evans family line as it pertains to the family of Andrew EVANS born 9-28-1759 in Mecklenburg county NC. He married Elizabeth FAIN (daughter of Nicholas),they were married about 1781 in Jonesboro,Washington county, TN. Andrew and Elizabeth had a total of 12 children. I descend from their children as follows: 1) son-David born 1-11-1783 who married Elizabeth McCULLOUGH (daughter of John);David died prior to 1837, either in Owen county or Pulaski county KY. 2) son-James born 8-28-1803 who married Elizabeth TRUAX (daughter of Wm & Ailcy (Combs)Truax).Her brother James is my 4th great grandfather. I would be most interested in corresponding with anyone regarding these lines. For those interested or researching the medical info on these lines I have no new or more pertinent info then I have already sent in the past.

Thanks, Suzanne Brayer, for the explanation of the "tavern" of its time. I am hoping someone who knows Owen County history will know something about this Ohio House, or have read about it. I really would love to know if it can be tied to the Criss family. As I said before, I was dubious about some of the info in the document - for example, it starts out by saying that William Criss and Nancy France were born in Sweinburg, Germany, and married there, then emigrated to America. But in the 1850 and 1860 censuses, they say they were born in Virginia and Pennsylvania respectively. So, I would love some proof that the Ohio House had something to do with them, or even that someone remembers it, or remembers their grandparents talking about it. Laura E.

Even Quakers (my Huddlestons in Union Co) ran Inns. If a large house was on a well traveled road it would make sense that people would need to rest, eat, and board their horse for the night. Usually, the family quarters were upstairs and the guests stayed downstairs. This is not a tavern like we think of today. The tavern would be the modern "bed and breakfast" :>) Suzanne
