There seems to be some massive confusion on the posting of the roll calls to the list. I am not saying that you cannot write to me with questions and such. What I am saying when I say, "post to the list and not to me personally" is that even though I am tracing various lines, I am not tracing ALL the surnames in the world. So in posting to me it only reaches me and if you want to reach the most people possible then you would want to post to the list. Since I am writing to alot of lists with this post please post to: Thelistname-L@rootsweb.com please fill in the list name that you are on.

James Boldon, Justice of the Peace, Owen County, In., married Matilda NUTTERFEE 5-7-1834. James "Disappeared" between 1860 and 1870, and presumably died. Does anyone have any information on what happened to Matilda? It would seem that a JP and his wife would rate an OBIT, somewhere... Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net
Need parentage of above lady who married James Baldon, early Owen Co., In., J,P.... Also, need her relationship to Nancy Nutterfield, on Owen Co. census of 1840, and to Eliza Nutterfee, wife of John Carter Jr., of Taylor Twp., Owen Co., and Cloverdale Twp., Putnam, Co., In, from 1830's until her death in 1866.

Posted on: Owen Co. In Biographies Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/OwenBios?read=23 Surname: Carpenter, Ooley, Johnson ------------------------- 1884 History of Owen County, pp. 930-931. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Clay Township. LEVI CARPENTER was born in Green County, Ky., in 1810, and died September 17, 1883, at the age of seventy-two years six months and twenty-four days. He came into Owen County in the year 1825, and entered from the Government a large tract of land in the valley of Raccoon Creek, and here spent the remainder of his life. In the year 1829, he married Mary Ooley, who died December 27, 1859. She bore him nine children, eight of whom are still living. August 28, 1861, he was married, in Greene County, Ind., to Mahala Ooley, nee Johnson, widow of John Ooley. By this marriage Mr. Carpenter had born to him one child, which died in infancy. By her first husband, his second wife had five children--William M., Mary E. (deceased), Mary L., John W. and Elisha M. (deceased). Mr. Carpenter was reared upon a farm, and in his youth received such education as was practicable to one in his circumstances. He was the recipient of no gratuities. What he had he worked for, and the sum of his successes outnumbered his failures. He was at the time of his death possessed of considerable property, leaving those dependent upon him in comfortable circumstances. In the summer of 1863, he was stricken down with paralysis, from which he only partially recovered, and receiving a second stroke in the year 1877, he was confined to his bed the rest of his life. August 27, 1883, he received the third and last stroke of the dread destroyer, and survived only about twenty days. He had been a consistent member of the Christian Church since the year 1829, and when he had grown so feeble as to be unable to travel without assistance his children carried him to the chapel, which was built upon a tract of land donated by him for that purpose. As a good citizen and neighbor, he was respected and beloved by the community, of which he was virtually the father.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Morgan Township. WILLIAM C. RANDALL, farmer, is a native of Fleming County, Ky., born July 12, 1825, and an only son of Richard S. and Sarah (Havens) Randall, natives of Virginia and Kentucky, respectively, who moved to Ohio the year of our subject's birth, and remained there until 1829, when they removed to this State. In 1844, William settled in this county, and in 1845, on November 3, married Ruth Criss, with an issue of nine children -- Sarah E., Thomas R., Jonathan B., Mary Catherine (deceased), John William, Eliza Jane (deceased), Joseph D., C1arissa Ann (deceased) and George M. Mrs. Randall died January 24, 1862, and on September 20 of that year, he married a second wife, Welthy M. Singleton, to which union succeeded one child -- Susan Bell (deceased). Mr. Randall is an earnest, painstaking Democrat, and in 1874 was elected Assessor of Montgomery Township, which he resigned when he removed therefrom. In 1882, he was elected to the same office in this township, which he yet holds. In early life, Mr. Randall was solely dependent upon himself, but, with the continued aid of his wife, he is now in easy circumstances. He began life as a wagon-maker, which business he pursued for twenty-two years, since which time he has given his whole attention to farming. He and wife are members of the Missionary Baptist Church.

Thomas and family first appear in the Owen County census in 1820, By 1840 Thomas no longer appears, so he was gone by that time. Ailsy and children appear in the 1840 census and the ones thereafter. Their children were: John Harrrison Pasty William Christopher George W Nathan Henry Rebecca I descend thru John Harrison and his 2nd wife Elizabeth "Betsy" Hogan. I would like to correspond with anyone who might know the ancestry of Thomas and Ailsy. Ailsy's father's name was John Mann. They were married in Green County, Kentucky in 1817 by James Hill. (would like to know if James Hill was a minister or a JP) The marriage bond was by Thomas Owley and James Hogan. Consent by John Mann, father. They were both born in Green County, Kentucky Would like to know parentage and siblings of Thomas and Ailsy Norma Ooley Herman

To all listmembers I am presently back on the computer and back online. How much is lost I cannot tell as of yet. Luckily my father had a back up of family file, I am however using today to restore favorites and different programs. My largest irreplaceable loss was my address book, as the other items I think I have on a zip in compressed folders but until I have the program installed I will be unable to open them. If you have been corresponding with me personally on a line then please please send me your address. Thanks Debbie
