Dear Elizabeth: I am related directly to the Arneys and indirectly to all the others. I have a great story written by Nancy Arney Neff (given to me by my grandmother Nola Long Boss, from her mother Rosalaine Arney Long) about the migration from Owen County to Iowa which I have posted previously. My grandmother also included brief notes regarding the migration from NC and also a story from her grandmother, Eliza Fulk Arney, about her courtship in Iowa which is entertaining and perhaps embellished a bit. I would love to correspond with anyone on this line. I am rather swamped with holiday projects currently, but hope to be finished with everything WELL ahead of Christmas, so I might be tardy in response. : - ) Alison Boss Scott Gordon Boss Nola Long Boss Rosalaine Arney Long John Calvin Long/Catherine Irvin(A) & Eliza Fulk Arney/Solomon Arney(B) (A) Jacob Long/Mary Criss & Squire Irvin/Louisa Crouse (B)John Arney/Mary Boyles & Henry Fulk/Mary Shore These are all Owen County names before Rosalaine. I don't really have a lot on the Longs/Irvins/Criss'/Crouse/Shore/Boyles. The Arney line is well documented as is the Volck/Fulk line. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elizabeth Chain" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 10:41 PM Subject: [INOWEN] Arney; Ellsberry; Fiscus; Hilsabeck; Speas > Hello, dear list members: I would like to hear from people with information on Anderson Jackson Hilsabeck, also surnames Fiscus, Hilsabeck, Arney, Ellsberry, and Speas are all in my family. All of these folk appear to have lived in Stokes Co and Surrey Co, in North Carolina, abt. 1820-1840, then the families moved to Owen Co, Indiana between 1830 and 1840, and then the families (the branches I'm related to) moved on to Audobon Co, Iowa, in the 1850s and 1860s. I think it's so interesting that whole groups could move together. > > Elizabeth E. Chain, Ph.D. > Chandler, Arizona 85225 > (480)814-1652 > > ______________________________
