Hi you guys, > Lori: Sorry, somehow I missed the "bus", but would like to know what the > Toph Papers are and what they cover. We want to add our thanks to your > accomplishment, as we know what is involved in such a project. The Toph Papers are a 3000+ pages collection of family histories, that Ms. Toph created in the 1930s (after she retired from teaching) by traveling the county, and gathering family trees/history from as many people as she could, and writing these down. These papers are not part of her 'the Peoples' History' collection. That collection is mainly anectdotal. How are you guys doing? I see you in that little Around Madison (??) paper, which I get once in awhile. Lori

Ripley county shows a John Fellerman in 1880, born 1821, Hanover, Germany, and Henry Fellerman. Would love to talk to someone about these families.

Dear ? I also have Williams in Ripley Co. around that period of time. Do you have any other info on them to try to tie up with? Here is mine. James Harrison Cowan m. in 1849 Susannah Jones (my ggg-grandparents) d/o James Jones & Katharine (Katy) Williams d/o Isaac & Polly Logston Williams. Note: James Jones was murdered about 1830 & Katy remarried a Samuel Louridge & moved to Wapello, Iowa. She died in 1851 there. I am hunting the sibblings & etc of the Williams line. Does any of this sound familar to you? Carolyn Cowan Oberle from Greenfield, Indiana

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4h.2ADI/1444.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Sorry...those names are not in my line. It's interesting they're in Ripley County. All my immigrant male Geigers' first names were Johann...but that was their Saint's name, they didn't go by that. There is one Minnie Geiger, but she married into the family, so there would have to be a Thomas or Conrad Geiger associated with her. So I don't think there is a match. Because I have nearly all the immigrant siblings traced down to today's children, definitely all those that stayed in Ripley County. But...thanks for the input. I wish I had some data for you. Ripley County has some pretty good web sites, with cemetary names and birth/marriage/death records. Good luck! Brenda Geiger

The Jacob Caplinger that I am looking for was b. abt 1818 in Ky. On May 5, 1856 he married Tabitha Ellen Vanarsdale in Johnson Co., IN. He died 1-10-1891 in Johnson Co., IN. Tabitha was b. abt 1839 in IN and died 4-23-1897 in Johnson Co., IN. They were the parents of 3 sons, Andrew J. b. 1858 married 1884 to Arthula E. Parkhurst; John W. b. abt 1860 married 1887 to Mary E. Frosh; Samuel Edward b. 1862 married to (1) Lucretia League (2) Ollie Elmuttie Grose. This Samuel and Ollie were my great grandparents. I don''t know of any relatives that Jacob had (in Indiana or Ky). I am looking for his parents and siblings. Any ideas?
