I have been working on my Losey line for quite a while now. Frank O. Richardson married LeniLeota Losey in 1893. My grandfather was born in May of that year. In 1895 Leota Richardson (last name from first marriage) married a John Kephart in Ripley County. John Kephart (from everything that I knew growing up and everything that I have seen) considered Arthur as his son. he took the name of Arthur Kephart. I don't know what his given name was at birth. Arthur Kephart still has two daughters and at least one daughter-in-law that are living. Good luck with your research. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I read your post here and thought I'd reply. I've been trying to track down info about my great-great grandmother, Ida Mae Marshall. She was born about 1882 in Indiana. I can't find her in a census until 1910 when she's living in Ripley County with her husband, Moses Jeffries. They moved to McLean County Illinois a short time after that, but I have relatives that lived for years in the Flat Rock area on that same side of the family, so your post intrigued me. On one census, a younger brother is living with her (William Marshall). Ida's mother and father were both born in Indiana, but haven't been able to find out who they were. Any help on this line would be appreciated! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Thank you. I can give him a try in case he can connect Henry's father or brother into his line. I have 1 of Henry's brothers I have nothing but his birth date and location. The rest of his family was in Wisconsin, Illinois & Minnesota before they started spreading out to other states in the 1920's. For the most part the family remained in Wisconsin. I listed Gibb(s) since at times in certain records the name was incorrectly spelled as such.

Gibbs is pretty popular in KY and some came from Indiana. My ancestors ended up in KY and came from Ripley, Dearborn, Switzerland counties in Indiana. There is a fellow and his wife in Hancock County, KY that run the genealogy archives there. Might try contacting him with your questions. His email is: [email protected] (Hancock Archives) Good luck!
