Can you tell me anything about your Mark Highman- such as his parents, children, spouse, etc.? I may be able to look up some info for you in my files. I also have info on Ohio Highmans. There are probably more Highmans now in Ohio than in any other state. WELL---- GUESS WHAT!! I just checked my Ohio book and found him!! The birthdate checks exactly. Died Mar. 27, 1967, buried "Lily Dale Gatchel" (cemetery?) Tell City, Indiana. Married Violet Kelly- she's buried same place. 3 children: Delbert, Ruth Etelka, & Herbert Eldon. Mark was one of 8 children, and the son of one of his brothers (John Sylvester Highman) I met several years ago in Evansville!! His name was Leland Sylvester, Jr. In fact he and his wife took me to dinner. It's late right now, but I can give you lots more info another time. This is great---happy to help!

Posted on: Posey County In. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Posey/1340 Surname: BRADLEY, HANCOCK ------------------------- According to the 1850 Posey Co. census p. 174B for town of Mt. Vernon, Wm. J. Lowery age 56 was a merchant, and both Isabella Bradley age 10 and David Hancock age 13 were listed with his family (wife Sarah 44 and children Mary 10 and Ann G. 7)under the same household number, along with Rachel Way age 29 and George Nettleton age 24 who was clerking. Pure speculation, but Lowery may have taken them in -- in exchange for work in his business. Since I am tracing both Bradley and Hancock ancestors, does anyone have any information of this David Hancock's parents?? Sure would appreciate any help!! thanks, ej
Posted on: Posey County In. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Posey/1338 Surname: Bradley, Bell, Lowery ------------------------- Did not mean to imply that Isabella Bradley was related to Wm. J. Lowery only that she was in his home when the 1850 Census for Posey Co. was taken. She was not listed in the home of her father, William Penn Bradley in the same census. Have went through the 1850 Posey Co. census a number of times and have not located Lucretia Bradley, although I know she existed at the time. Sometimes children stayed with families other than their own, related or not. Charles
