Larry, Mind if I butt in? According to my data, Keziah did have a half-brother, William, born in 1805 Hampshire Co., VA and died 08/23/1858 in Owen Co., IN. Your William would be son of Keziah's half-brother, William. William is not an uncommon given name in my family (24 of us in my database). Sorry about the intrusion.

Do you know if Keziah is sister of William Duling born in 1853 and died in Audubon Co., Iowa in 1882. William was married to my great grandmother Ruth Fiscus. She remarried a Hilsabeck and was my grandfathers parents. I live in Atlanta and am going to Audubon, Iowa this Friday for a week. The Hilsabeck, Fiscus, Duling, Elsberry all came through Owen Co.

My gg grandmother was Sarah Ann Norris Woods b. January 13, 1845 New Comerstown, Tuscarawas Co, Ohio. Sarah's parents were - Samuel Norris 1825 OH and Keziah Duling 1824 OH . I found Samuel & Keziah Duling Norris listed on the 1850 Tuscarawas Co, Ohio census. They then moved to Owen county, Indiana between 1850-1860, as I found them on the 1860 Owen county, Indiana census. Samuel Norris' parents are unknown. Keziah Duling Norris is the d/o Colin Campbell Duling & Fanny Hayes. I welcome any help on the Norris or Duling families in Owen county and will gladly share my info. I found other Norris families on the 1860 Owen county census, but I'm not sure how they are related to my Samuel Norris and Keziah Duling. Can anyone connect to these Norris families on the 1860 Owen Co census or add information? I welcome any imput on the Norris families in Owen county.

She united with the M. E. Church of this place under the pastorage of Rev. Merideth at the age of eleven years. She spent the able years of her life working in the church. Although interested in the church and its different organizations of the late years, she was kept away on account of poor health. She was united in marriage to Jas. Wood on February 7, 1862 and to this union seven children were born, four whom, with the father, preceded her in death. She hath lived her allotted three score and ten years and has witnessed the perils and distress of three wars, Civil, Spanish and World Wars. She helped to rear four families of children; her doors have been opened to all and her ministering to the sick has been unequaled. She was cheerful and hopeful, looking ever at the brightest side of life's surroundings. Even in the darkest hours, when her body was racked with pain, there was a cheerfulness so that there seemed to be "sunshine in her soul," that could speak of death as "becoming well." She leaves to mourn their loss one brother, three children, thirty grandchildren, twenty-nine great-grandchildren and one great great grandchild. " I cannot say, I will not say, that she is dead - - she is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land. Think of her faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of here." --------------------------------------------

Would anyone know what the Waukesha Tribe is in the early 1900's . My Grandmother kept an newspaper article and told me years ago that she was connected with it but that is all and at the time I was so young that never thought of asking any questions. Thank you Cheri

Owen County List: I have a scanned version of the class picture for the first grade at the Freedom Elementary School for the class year 1924-1925. It includes my father, Robert Felts. He is currently 81 and can recall the name of only one classmate, Lester LINTON (sp). I'd be happy to share this with anyone who contacts me at rjfelts@email.msn.com. There are 21 students and 1 teacher in the picture. The picture was taken by Harry Beck, a local photographer. My father was born in Indianapolis but spent a few years in the Freedom area from about 1921 to 1925. He lived with his mother, Ruby, and her adoptive parents Charles BRADBURN and Emma MESSICK (BRADBURN) somewhere near "the Beck farm." I'm currently researching the MESSICK surname.

Debbie: My computer is going to be moved out of the house for repairs, and it will be gone about a week. (An unusual situation which I won't take the time to explain. :o) I don't want to miss the cemetery comments. Especially interested in the McKee Cemetery. Is there any way you could forward that info to my daughter at Phrelanzer@aol.com? Thanks very much. Carolyn

Carolyn just send me your daughters name and I will get her set up on the Owen county page as a member and then you can access the page through her computer. Debbie Jennings debj@comsys.net "Following the footprints through time"

Searching for any info regarding Andrew EVANS who was born 9-28-1759 in Mecklenburg county NC and died 12-5-1840 in Owen county IN. He married Elizabeth FAIN about 1780 in Washington county TN. Elizabeth FAIN born 7-29-1764 and died 10-4-1850-1859 in Owen county IN. Andrew was also appointed Commissioner of Revenue for Pulaski county KY on August 3 1799.The family lived there quite some time before migrating to IN about 1817 where he took out land grants. I have seen various pieces of info stating that the lineage back from Andrew is: DAVID--father PETER--grandfather LOT the II--born 1666 LOT THE I But I also have a transcription regarding this family which refers to Andrew as the young Andrew. And also makes mention that: On Feb 9 1773 Andrew Evans and his wife Nancy of Bedford county VA made a land grant of 347 acres to John Ward for 100 pounds. This could not be the Andrew born in 1759 as he would only be 14 and Andrew of 1759 married Nancy. So I am wondering if the parents of the Andrew born in 1759 are Andrew and Nancy?? Any help in this puzzle is more then welcome. Debbie Jennings debj@comsys.net "Following the footprints through time"

Looking for info on John McCULLOUGH born June 17 1755 in Lancaster county PA,(later to become York). He was in the Rev War enlisting in July of 1776 in Chanceford twp of York county in the company of Captain Ross. He later re enlisted at Mecklenburg county NC in April of 1777 in the Company of Captain Osborn. He later migrated to Carrabas county NC for 11 years, then to Cocke County TN, and to Pulaski County KY at which he lived 30 years. He finally settled in Owen county IN and applied for his pension in the August 1834 term of Probate court of Owen county. He died sometime between 1840-1850 in Owen county IN. I am searching for any info regarding his parents, or a name for his wife as he had 8 children and though his pension records are very detailed as to migration he names no wife. The children are: Robert b. unknown Elizabeth b.1791 m David Evans Sarah b. unknown m Robert Hasty Jonathan b. 12-15-1790 m Elizabeth Staton Mary b. unknown m Enoch Evans William b. unknown Margaret b.unknown m James Modrell Rebecca b. unknown m William Camp All the children were married in Pulaski county KY. The last three children were born in TN and the rest were born in NC. I a guessing that his wife most likely died in Pulaski county KY I have it in his pension papers that his father was also named John. Would be interested in trading info with anyone who is following this line. Thanks Debbie Jennings debj@comsys.net "Following the footprints through time"

Researching any info on Charles MURPHY born between 1765-1770 in Montgomery county MD.He married Ann Elliot 4-10-1793 in Loudon county VA. They migrated to Nelson county KY sometime prior to 1810.

I have an ancestor James BALDON/BOLDON who was born in Maryland and then migrated with his parents to Nelson county KY. As an adult he migrated to Owen county IN. He became a Justice of the Peace there in the May 1834 session and performed many acts associated with the office,such as marriages,wills, being admin for wills, doing estate sales,etc. He also was one of the founding fathers of the Little Mount Baptist Church donating land for the building from his own property and also for the Old section of the Little Mount Cemetery.He had massive land holdings from just south of the Putnam county line extending to the Little Mount Church in Wayne twp. In the natural course of time he married(twice) his first wife Hannah TRUAX dying in 1834. He remarried to Matilda NUTTERFIELD after this. Now I am wondering why a man who played various roles in the beginning politics of a county would just "vanished" somewhere between the 1850 and 1860 census. There is no record,church record,burial,will on this man. Seems he would have joined another church or at the very least had a will.The book of History on Owen county states he died "about 1878". Does anyone have any records on this man?? Debbie Jennings debj@comsys.net "Following the footprints through time"
