Posted on: Posey County In. Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Posey?read=1182 Surname: ------------------------- Hi, I can't help directly, but the folks who founded New Harmony are called Rappites, after their leader Fr. Rapp. they sold the town to Robert Owen in 1825 and in 1826 his group of scientists or humanists came to town, although lots of them left after a year. I would search the net for Rappites or Owen to find members of those groups. You are correct in assuming that many of the Rappites did return to PA after selling New Harmony, but one of the tenants of their religion was celebacy which caused problems in perpetuating the family unit.

Hoop- Pole Township, Is where Mt. Vernon is. It is a nickname given by the flatboatmen and the barrelmakers who had a big fight in 1825. Check history of Posey County, Indiana by John C.
