My name is Earlene. My primary surname to search is WAY, but also Reeder. I'm doing fairly well with these. ***Would like more information on Dr Thomas D. Cook, who died in the Cholera outbreak in July/August of 1849. He apparently was out treating patients, then became ill himself and died a couple of days later. Amanda M Way was supposed to marry him 3 weeks later. After he died, she never did marry. I have her death certificate from California. She died in 1914. And of course, the Way family was married into the Coffins, and Macys---they were old Whalers from Nantucket Island, then went to North Carolina. Because they were Quakers, they didn't like slavery, so moved to Winchester. Interesting history for Winchester, about the Underground Railroad. Paul Way helped to hide and transport some of the run-aways. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 3 Apr 2007 5:48 PM Subject: [INRANDOL] Roll Call Hello Everyone!

Jim, I am sending this to you through the list and as a CC to make sure you get it just in case you are not receiving the list mail. Have you been receiving any emails at all from the Randolph County List? I checked your subscription and you are on Digest Mode so you should get at least one email a day from the list. If you are not getting them you may want to check your spam folder or you server to make sure they have not blocked the email list. I also checked the archives for the list and there were no postings from you, so I think you may have sent them to a wrong address. This is the list address that you need to use to send messages [email protected] If you send a message to the list you should get a copy of it back in your digest. If you don't get one check the List Archives and see if you email ever posted. If it is not in the archives then it did not go out to the list. Here is the link to the Archives. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=inrandol Sorry for all the trouble, if you ever need any help, just send me an email offlist.

Alexander Hamilton Davis, his family, and his parents, James and Sarah Rachel (Ingle) Davis. Also the last names Pike and Hay.

Jim: When you quiry, it would be helpful if you gave whatever information you have on the person besides just their name. I found Ellis N. Gullett on the 1920 census for Wayne, Randolph County, Indiana, as follows: Ellis born March 27, 1873 (according to his WWI Draft Registration card signed on September 12, 1918 in Randolph County, IN) - both of his parents are listed as born in Indiana too. He was a farmer. Corda (wife) age 42 born about 1878 in Indiana Vanda (son) age 17 born about 1903 in Indiana Mary (daughter) born about 1909 in Indiana Robert P. (son) born about 1917 in Indiana There is also a biographical sketch of the Gullett family in Tucker's HISTORY OF RANDOLPH COUNTY published in 1882 as follows: "EZEKIAL GULLETT was born in North Carolina about 1776. He married MARY DIXON, sister of Benjamin Dixon; they had ten children, all born in Ohio or North Carolina. They moved to Butler County, Ohio, at a very early date and after undergoing a full course of pioneer life in that region, resolved to try a second experience of a similar sort and plunged into the wilderness of Randolph County (Indiana), settling this time for life in Wayne Township, some miles south of where Union City now stands. He was among the first to that region, only about half a dozen families having preceded them to that part of the township. The family came to Wayne Township in 1835, consisting of husband and wife and six children, four having been married in Ohio: George, Anna, Thomas and John. The six unmarried were Mary, Samuel, Ezekiel, Eleanor and two others. The whole ten grew up were married and had families. Six were sons and four were daughters; only four are now living. Mr. Gullett was a farmer, a Methodist and a Democrat. He was a substantial pioneer residing in the township some 26 years. He was verging toward old age at his emigration to this county, being near sixty years old; and he died, July 18, 1861, aged 84 years. His wife outlived her husband somewhat, her death occuring on the "cold New Year's" January 1, 1864, about 80 years old." "SAMUEL GULLETT is the son of EZEKIAL GULLETT having been born in Butler County, Ohio about 1821. He came with is father to Wayne Township in 1835. He has been twice married. His first wife was FRANCES WASSON, daughter of David Wasson, a pioneer of the adjacent region in Darke County, Ohio and she died in 1873. His second wife is EILEEN PERRINE from Danville, Indiana. They removed not long ago from their farm east of Salem, Randolph County, to Union City where they now reside. He has had seven children, five of whom are living; one of his sons is Alexander who has attained some distinction. He was a soldier (Civil War); spent some time as a clerk in Washington City; was township trustee, became an attorney, was elected Prosecutor for the Judicial District to which Randolph County belongs and in 1880 removed to Colorado where he is rising to prominence as a man of activity and enterprise in his profession and in business in general." Census records show that Samuel had the following sons: Alexander born about 1845; Hamilton born about 1847; Harvey born about 1848 and Ezekial born about 1852. It is probable that one of these men was the father of Ellis. I could find no census record, however, verifying which one it might be. If you added 20 years to their birth dates, any of them could have fathered Ellis born in 1873. The only census record for Ellis was 1920. I tried various spellings of the name and nothing came up. I tried using just his first name in Indiana and just his middle name in Indiana and nothing. It is likely that the census taker's handwriting was so illegible that the name was not recognizable or they were not available when the census was taken. I don't know how far away you live from Indiana but the Museum in Winchester might have more specific data on this family. The Mormon records on line showed nothing nor did the family data on Ancestry.com have anything specific on Ellis either. Hope some of this helps - Karen Welch ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 8:23 AM Subject: [INRANDOL] Previous inquiries >I have sent 2 emails in the last month requesting information on my dads > father (Ellis Norris Gullett) > > Haven't seen anything posted nor have I received any emails.

I did a search through my inbox and did not find any other postings by you. I don't delete them from INRANDOL so I don't know what happened. I did a search for Gullett in my Inbox and found 23 that met that search for the past year. But not your Ellis Norris Gullett. Try posting again. What info do you already have on him?

GenFest 2007GenFest is bursting at the seems this year and you won't want to miss it. I'm forwarding Rhonda's update to her own email list - see below. In addition, plans are already in the works for GenFest 2008 in New Castle, Henry County. These GenFest hosts are giving me a run for my money and making GenFest 2005 look like small potatoes. (I'll have to do something about that!) In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at GenFest 2007 in Marion, June 8th and 9th. Please forward this to anyone else you think may be interested! Shirley & Mike Pearson GenFest Coordinators [email protected] >From Rhonda Stoffer: "Its time for another update! June is just around the corner, and plans for GenFest are progressing quickly. Please take a look at the GenFest website at: http://www.marion.lib.in.us/genfest/genfest07.htm. The schedule has been finalized and is posted on the web site. We currently have people from 14 states registered to attend, and over 30 vendors and organizations slated to appear in the marketplace. We have received several very nice door prizes, so be sure to check those out.

Does anyone know if by chance that Army/ Military posts had their own census takers or allowed civilian census takers on bases to do censuses of military men & their families? RE: Martha Ann Scott B: 1847/8 Terra Haute Vigo Co IN Harrison twp Father: John Born: PA Mother; Unk Perhaps they lived across the state line due to her father being in the military and came to Terra Haute to a hospital to have their child. She then met my Temple Calhoun Smith Jr or Randolph County as perhaps he, too, was enlisted from Randolph County only went into IL to enlist. Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Coleen

Thanks Karen for your work on the ARTHUR family. It is an amazing thing that all six members of this family made it home in spite of the combat action of many of them. Billy

Colleen, I would start looking in Boone County for your Scott family and then in Pennsylvania for Jonathan's parents. The information Karen found for you matches the names of the people you listed in your query to the Randolph and Delaware County Email Lists. Some names were spelled differently which was probably an error when the enumerator recorded the info and there is a slight difference in the birth dates but that is common when estimating birth dates from census records. To me there are too many similarities for it not to be the family you are looking for especially since you cannot find them anywhere else. Do you know where Jonathon was born? You put Delaware on the query you sent to the Delaware list and Randolph in the one to this list, I didn't know if you had a lead that he was born in one of those counties and was trying to verify it or if you made a mistake when you posted your query. I would look in Pennsylvania for him since the information that Karen had states he was born in PA.

We (Me and Jesse Monroe) have decided to postpone the trip to the old cemetery for two weeks so it will now be (hopefully) April 14. The decission was based on the upcoming weather, strong storms with lighting (and tornadoes) are heading this way as early as tomorrow and might be coming through on Saturday as well. I'm not willing to risk anyone getting hurt in that kind of weather. I did walk a field today, and it was pretty good but that will change tomorrow I am sure. I am really looking forward to going back there, hope we all can soon. Please contact me if you are planning on coming with us, so I can give you driving and parking directions. Andrea

Social Sec, Death Index for Indiana lists the following for Ross Arthur.... b. 03 Jan. 1909 d. Oct. 1974 Muncie, Delaware Co. IN. Perhaps someone will fill in his wife and family info... Cheers, Diane G. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I have taken a few pictures of the Spartanburg Cemetery, I did these in 2004, most are blurry so I am not sharing them. I only got a few stones in comparison to the whole of the cemetery. I looked through my pictures, the Arthurs that I did find were Lois 1934-2004, she did not have a stone yet as of August. Noel had a stone up for himself and his wife Joan, but neither had passed at that time. Ross has passed, but I can not read the dates nor his wife's name and info on it. He has no service marker on his stone. These were the only ones in my pictures. This was my first cemetery that I had done several stones at one time. Learned not to take pictures of shinny stones at noon on a cloudless day. Andrea -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Billy J.
