Anyone know where I would look for rosters of Home Guard in Putnam County in 1862? This relates to a group of refugees that up and moved family by covered wagon from Dallas County MO to Putnam County. The grandpa supposedly was in the Home Guard as a doctor.

Dear list members, We are interested in learning of the location of any manuscript church records which may exist for Primitive Baptist churches in Indiana (as well as other states). If any of you know of any, please let me know. We are trying to preserve them, film them, extract names of members from them, and then write histories of the churches and name the surnames of the members, on our website, which will be a tool for family history researchers as well as church history researchers. We have several already, for Indiana, and are presently working on this project for Missouri and Indiana, after having pretty much completed what we can do for Illinois and Iowa with the records we have. Our website, if you wish to see for yourself what we are doing, is: http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/pbl.html (the ".html" at the end must be appended for it to work - the URL is lengthy and tends to cut off part of the html, so it must be put back on, before you click on it, to go to our site). After you reach our homepage, there are links to click on for about 14 states, but only Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Indiana have much or some completed at this time. We welcome you to write on one of our guestbooks. Sincerely, Robert Webb The Primitive Baptist Library ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I am new to the list and searching for any information on the parents of Eliza Catherine Myers, b. March 25, 1853 in Greencastle, Putnam County, Indiana. She married Jacob Lansing Milligan, Sept. 21, 1873 in Greencastle. They ended up in Oklahoma. Would like to trade info with anyone who knows about her. I have some siblings and descendants but haven't been able to learn about her parents. My paternal grandmother was a Milligan and my maternal grandmother was a Myers. Would sure like to find a connection between this Eliza Catherine Myers and my other Myers kin that came from Greene County Tennessee to Sullivan, Vigo, Clay and Putnam Counties in Indiana!!!!!

sorry, I needed to be more specific. I can't send an outline of my whole database, too big. If you send me the name of your nearest relative, I will send the descendancy to him/her. Since my web site has gotten so large, many people are asking for their relationship to Richard Wright. If you will email your request, I'll try to send you an outline descendant tree.
