Supposedly my Eaton family came from Harrison County, Kentucky (Cynthiana) and arrived in Posey County about 1817. Does anyone know of the Eaton family or have seen anything about them in conjunction with the Cynthiana movement? Also part of the family was in Poseyville. Is that far from Gibson County?

My Grandmother always refered to the" fighting Rogers" . This was way back in the early days of New Harmony.[1820] Does this mean anything to anyone? As maybe a story the have heard passed down? I don't find anything in the court records to tell me about there actions. But maybe they just hung out at the "She Bang" .Or were they just troublemakers, as were some of our Stallings boys.

Hi, I lived outside of Cynthiana while a girl. It is in the NE part of the county, almost touching the Gibson Co. line. I lived a mile east of town and the Gibson Co line was on the graveled road in front of my house. The Posey line came to with 1/2 mi of my house. Cynthiana is in Smith Twp, but if you check the early history of Posey Co., I think Smith may have been a part of Robb (but not for sure). My Crabtree relatives lived in two counties and never moved. I think in the early 1800's the boundary of Gibson and Posey was different than now. We always heard the story (in school) that Cynthiana was named after two old maids--Cynthia and Anna. Actually it was named after Cynthiana, KY, where many of the settlers came from. My Crabtree/Goodwin/Johnson relatives were all early settlers in the area. Some of my Crabtree/Johnson relatives were the founders of Old Union Church in Johnson Twp (Gibson Co) and later Seven Mile Prairie (outside Carmi in White Co., IL) when there was a split in the Old Union Church.

Cookie: You might try looking in Gallatin and White Co. Illinois for the Nesler (Nester) family. I have seen many listings for them there in Marriage records. These counties are adjacent to Posey Co. in Illinois. Hope this might help. Glenn.

Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Posey?read=1153 Surname: Martin, Spain, Clark, Hill, Pendleton, Damron, Helstrom ------------------------- I have a Thomas Edward Hill (my gggg-grandfather) born 1803 in Tennessee who married Rachel Burlison (born 1808; daughter of John W. Burlison, Sr.) in Black Township, Posey County, Indiana on June 24, 1830.

William H Casey Sr., 1760 -1840 was part of the group of 44 that moved 1815. His wife Elizabeth Fraser died in KY. He brought at least 10 children with them including William Jr. born in 1794. I do not have a Thomas in this family. Not sure if this is related, but William Sr. did have a dau Elizabeth born 1802 and married to Robert Bailey in Posey Co in 1831. Family history says Robert bought land in IL and tried to get Elizabeth to move with him, but that Elizabeth's father drove him out of town with a shotgun and Elizabeth then lived with her father.
