Where in the Vaughn line do John & Celia Ann (Murphy) Vaughn and daughter Nancy fit? Luke and Rebecca (Edwards) Vaughn were my 4th ggrandparents through their daughter Sarah (Sally)-my maternal grandfather's side, and through their son Thomas-my maternal grandmother's side. Or are they a completely different Vaughn line.

The other Duncan family came from South Carolina. Settled in SE Clay Co. in an area known as Duncanville. Many are buried in Winters Cemetery in Jefferson Twp. Owen Co. and Duncan Cemetery in Harrison Twp. Clay Co. Isiah Duncan b. 1785 seems to have been the first in the area. He is buried in Winters Cemetery.

HI!, Yes , I'm very very familiar with Freeborn Dunkin, I'm a descendant of his daughter Jemima who married David Murray Shields! I have lots to share with you or anyone else interested in this line. Also, I have started creating a little site (Inspired by Debbie's Sween Owen, of course!- thanks so much!) for the Dunkin family. Its for anyone interested in the family and collateral lines in Owen county and beyond. Since we have just started we have only posted pictures so far. Let me know if you are interested and I can send you the password to get in. Its on myfamily.com. The Dunkin family of John Sr. and son Freeborn and all the many other children came from Dutchess County NY. There seems to have been another Duncan family who came from another place and may be unrelated. The Dunkin family of which I'm connected did indeed spell the name both ways. Adds to the interest and confusion! Have lots of info to share! Lots if stuff by snail mail! Hope to hear from you Carolyn Shields Lysandrou in Peoria

Jacque, Actually I misspoke on the last crash, the windows system went also. I could boot via a diskette but could not start windows 98 and the Genealogy program although I could access the harddrive. So I switched cables and drive jumpers and rebooted with the new drive (It is a mirror image including the boot sector). Then, I just copied the files which hadn't been backed up yet. Considering that 10gb drives were on sale for $99 US, I bought two. There's enough room for all sorts of records to be kept. I still export a backup copy of FTM database to a floppy and/or another computer just in case. I have a difficult time making people understand (especially a work) the importance of backing up. They don't understand at work that I have more important things to do than recovering data and working on computers. At home I would rather spend time with the grand children or trying to find an elusive ancient relative. I firmly believe it's all Bill Gates fault;(, and have asked one of our small local computer business operators to set me up a Pentium II with Linux on it:;). All I'll need is Star Office, Word Perfect for Linux, a Photo/graphics program and a Genealogy program. Will let every one know how it works and how reliable it is. Of course the problem is probably of our own making most of the time, its the other 10% that "bugs" me. With a proper backup system a person should be able to reformat a hard drive and reinstall (i.e. the windows backup file) in a matter of hours. In general I have been told (from ancient ages when computers were slow and had 48kb of memory, one or two floppy drives and an external Winchester of 5mgb) to run a 5 day cycle (business). Basically that meant enough floppies to do a full backup once a week, an incremental backup every evening for two weeks running, and then repeat. That would give one complete backup cycle always on hand. Unfortunately, with the sizes of programs and harddrives ( and large database files) that is a little impractical. Some of the large portable or removable drives are worth considering. An extra hard drive is a reasonable solution for a full backup but even when compressed it takes considerable time. What I am considering is doing the incremental backups and datafile saves to a standard CD-ROM r/rw drive, a full backup to a spare drive maybe once a month or when a new program is added/or deleted. The media is more durable than diskettes. The new dvd CD-ROM r/rw drives are still to high priced for me. A standard CD-ROM r/rw can be had locally for between 130 and 250 or so. That makes it very practical at 600 to 650 megabytes of data. No matter what you do--all of you--devise a workable solution to the problem and stick to it.

Hi folks, By any chance would anyone be researching WARD in Owen Co IN. I'm familiar with the Wells WARD who was there with origins in Grayson Co VA however there were others there too. A DUNCAN line I follow was also in Owen Co by 1820. Rachel DUNCAN m John TRENT 1819 Washington Co VA. About the same time period that Rachel and John TRENT were in Owen there are several other WARDs and DUNCANs appearing on the Tax Lists. Would anyone be familiar with the following who were in Owen Co between 1819 and 1829 Blanford WARD James WARD Luke WARD William WARD Freburn DUNCAN John DUNCAN Alternate spelling for DUNCAN apparently for the same two was DUNKEN however one and the same Freburn and John. Happy to share. Tom Tom & Carolyn WARD P.O. Box 77 Columbus, KS 66725 (316)429-3475 tcward@columbus-ks.com

I did not have a wife for him... Nancy could be a 2nd marriage...Sorry..

<< Nancy,.....P S on my earlier message... If it is the daughter of James Baldwin, she was morn 1840...The only Milton I have is son of McKinney... Do you have another? >> Dick, Milton s/o McKinney is the only one I have listed with this Baldwin line?? That's why I was wondering if there was possibly another one I didn't know about. Who do you have as the wife of Milton? I had a Nancy J. on the 1860 census, but Roger Peterson found a Milton m. to Mary Anne Kile?? Have you ever heard of her before? Sorry, I seem to have made matters worse here instead of better.....by adding more questions to your original one.... : ) I had a dau/ of James and Matilda listed as Nancy J. b. 1840 also. N.J. : ) in MI.

Nancy,.....P S on my earlier message... If it is the daughter of James Baldwin, she was morn 1840...The only Milton I have is son of McKinney... Do you have another? Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

Believe that she is daughter of James amd <atilda... Just looking for confirmation... Thanks... Tammey sent me everything she had on the Baldwin/Baldon line.

Dear Dick, I have had two geneology software programs on two different systems that have crashed. The first one was 6 years ago with about 380 people entered. The last was 6 months ago with well over 800 people entered. Stupid me, with a degree in CIS even, didn't back up either time. Woe is me! Like you it was the only program that crashed. Don't understand it, but it's kind of like life, you don't have to understand, you just have to live it and go on when it doesn't do what you want it to.

Dick, This is the only marriage that Roger found on Milton Baldwin...?? This being in Owen Co.IN.: Milton Baldwin and Mary Anne Kile were married Feb. 23, 1852. Book 27, p. 275. Too soon for the Supplemental which started in 1882. Think this has to be the wrong one, as I found them on the 1860 census listed as Milton and Nancy J. Baldwin?? Was there another Milton Baldwin in the line I don't have listed? N.J. : ) in MI.

I have formatted my hard drive three times!!!! Since that time I have learned how to get along--one main thing is to be very careful when adding new programs. Carolyn
