Good Point Shirley, And you are not butting in. I need to go to Huntsville myself, so if you want me to look for you Charlene I will. I didn't know if you are close enough to go yourself or not. Or we could make Shirley feel bad for us and have her go! <G> Gina ----- Original Message ----- From: "unicorn1945" <unicorn1945@sbcglobal.net> To: <INRANDOL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 01, 2003 8:22 PM Subject: Re: [INRANDOL] Re: Randolph Co. for Clear & Smiddy family > Mind if I butt in momentarily?

Thanks so much Gina for the offer to check out the records for Isaac Clear & etc. in Huntsville. I live in the Texas panhandle. Would love to visit your state someday. I still don't know if Robert Smiddy & Urana Sallee Clear had any children together. I am checking counties now in Ind. for census bet. 1850 & 1880. I do know that Robert & Urana were still alive in 1903, living near Lincoln according to a bio. I have of my Gr. Grandparents in Kansas. I have no idea if it meant Lincoln Twsp or near the town of Lincoln, Ind. I am checking out both possibilities. Isaac Clear is my gr grandmother Elizabeth N. {Clear} Sallee's brother & Urana is my gr grandad, Samuel Sallee, II's sister. Brother & sister marrying brother & sister! My brother & I have checked for several years looking for a Robert Smeddy as it was spelled Smeddy in the Bio. & presto, I have just found him as Smiddy this past month in the 1850 & 1880 Ind. census. I have found Urana & Isaac Clear's sons marriages, on census & ect. They semmed to have stayed put in Cass & Miami counties. Samuel & Urana's sister , Lucinda Jane {Sallee} Cox lived all of her married life in Iroquois Co. Ind.
