In general, pretty much all I know about "my" Lasleys can be found at: http://www.greglasley.net/lasley.html if anyone is interested. I can account for him with documentation only between 1855 when he showed up in Posey Co., IN and married Sarah Jane Austin to 1865 when he died as a soldier after the end of the Civil War as a member of the 30th Indiana Infantry Regiment. I would very much like to get in touch with any other Lasley researchers in IN or elsewhere who think they might be able to help. The above web page has links to individual biographies of JPL & SJA and others with all the information I know. The biographies about JPL at: http://www.greglasley.net/jplasley.html and of SJA at: http://www.greglasley.net/sjaustin.html and of James Dennis Lasley at: http://www.greglasley.net/jdlasley.html actually have a few bits of interesting Posey County information including the account of JDL shooting his stepfather, Commodore D. Curtis. Any help will certainly be appreciated. I am trying to determine when JPL came to Posey County, who his parents were, etc. Greg Lasley Austin, Texas
