Hi Cindy, This site is interesting--I put in three Civil War soldiers, two from Penna. and one from Indiana and they all came back blank. What a disappointment, except I have the papers on two of them.

Thanks to Cindy for the info on Range and Twps. I am not too knowlegable about the location of my ancestors land, twps and ranges. The transcription below gives a great look into the past and the location of a school in Pulaski Co. The Keys and Stipp families lived in Monroe twp. according to the CENSUS in 1850-70. I am not sure about this exact location. One thing about this document is it lists some registered voters in the district at the time as well as a good discription of what a school building might look like/ cost.

So,  these were the Children in Monroe Township and if everyone knows where there ancester was living, you could probably come up with a pretty good idea where the school was located.  Under the plan of either the Northwest Territory OR the Ordinance of 1787, a school was located every two miles.

Cindy, I did have information on getting online census records, but try as I might, I cannot find it today. Maybe it is because it is raining and I'm not thinking straight! Let me know if you get an answer or if I need to search some more. I was sure it was in my favorites.

I am looking for plat maps of Pulaski Co. for the years of 1883 and 1887. I have a couple of road petitions from those years that I would like to match up to maps of the time. Does anyone know if maps of this period are available? The roads were in Jefferson Township and extentded down to Beaver Township and were in or on sections 31, 32 and 33. Thanks, Dan

Cindy, 400 S. Market St. is the one I was referring to. That is the Historical Society. The Genealogical Society "may" be a club for members interested in genealogy. I am not sure.

Dusti ask about the "Civil" township covered by Township 30, R 2 West. I BELIEVE the difference between Civil townships and actual townships is that Civil townships are the ones determined by the township-range method. The Township-Range method of land description used in most of Indiana is best described on this site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~inkosciu/land/land.htm The website uses Kosciusko Co as a reference, but the information in the article applies to most of Indiana. The first map on this Kosciusko site illustrates the difference between "civil townships" and actual townships. Harrison and Wayne Twps have dotted lines running up and down which show one of the "civil townships." Civil townships follow the township-range method while townships as we know them today frequently have irregular boundaries. Going back to Pulaski Co, I'm GUESSING the civil township covered by Township 30, R 2 West would be the "original" Monroe Twp as shown in map illustrations 6, 7, and 8 of this message in the 2001 INPULASK archives: http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices/I/INPULASK+2001+6691931+F Hopefully this is clear AND CAN SOMEONE VERIFY THIS.

So can someone tell us the Civil Township of: Township 30 R 2 West in Pulaski County and State of Indiana so we may figure out where District No. 2 was located? Dusti

Thanks Donna and Michael for your help! I have ancestors buried in Winamac Cemetery and Wasson Cemetery(Dead Man's Hollow) as well. I will give Charles a call. I agree about the volunteers of the Historical Society. I have been lucky to have found one special lady that has helped me a great deal. My Keys family were in Winamac and Logansport for 4 generations. I still have some distant cousins living there I'd love to meet. Hopefully I'll have an opportunity to visit one day.

Barbara in CA, I thought it very interesting that today of all days you ask, "who is buried in the Wasson Cemetery in Winamac"...? The WASSON Cemetery is located about two miles south of Winamac, very close to the Tippecanoe River. It is in Harrison Township, Section 30, the West Central part. To get there you go south on US 35 and after crossing the bridge over the Tippecanoe, you will turn right on County Road 250 South, that will take you to an intersection which if I remember is the entrance to the cemetery. Now the reason I thought it interesting that you would bring Wasson Cemetery up today. The following is from the book "150 Years, Pulaski County Sesquicentennial" "WASSON (DEAD MAN'S HOLLOW)" "Wasson Cemetery, a long and narrow burial site, is located in the southwest area of the township (Harrison) near the community of cottages known as Dead Man's Hollow along the Tippecanoe River. Editor Ned Gorrell unearthed the facts and shared with his readers in 1968: "It has been 141 years since the sad incident which occurred May 3, 1848. JOHN TURNER, traversing this area of Harrison Township on his way from Monroe County to Starke (some say to LaPorte), was injured seriously when his team of horses became frightened and backed off a culvert, upsetting the heavily laden wagon. He died as a result of his injuries in a log cabin at the top of the hill, and was buried in Dead Man's Hollow which is the Wasson Cemetery in reality." An historical marker has been erected to indicate JOHN TURNER's final resting place." There is some obvious math errors above, in 1968 it was the 120th anniversary, and when the Book I referenced was written it was the 141st anniversary. Today is the 155th anniversary of JOHN TURNER's death. It seems JOHN TURNER from the home of Saints through Barbara of CA. wanted to be remembered today.

Is there a sexton or county cemetery worker with knowledge of who is buried in the Wasson Cemetery in Winamac even if there is no marker? I am aware of an inventory taken I'm sure by gracious volunteers, I am looking for records kept by the cemetery itself.
