Hi Kathy, Notice you have the name Gibbs in your surnames. 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! Regards - L.

Hello, I am new to the list.  I am seeking suggestions on how to proceed further in my research. I have tried to lay out the facts as concise as I know how. Surname: Various surname spellings NOT researched at Courthouse or Historical Society.

S/O: Heinrich Gipp & Maria Rueckert. Married Pauline Kolzfried (Stolzheiser-First Marriage) b 12-22-1822 in Germany D 12-26-1893 Milan, Ripley County, IN. Marriage - 11-18-1867 St. Stephens Church in Manchester, Dearborn County, IN Married-no children. No known children of Pauline's first marriage. Siblings: Wilhelmine Sophie (Gipp) Wiss Johann Carl Friedrich Gipp George Friedrich Wilhelm Gipp (died in Prussia) Johann (Albert) Gipp ½ Siblings: Ernestine (Wilhelmine) Auguste (Gipp) Dengel Carl Wilhelm Friedrich Gipp (died in Prussia) August Carl Friedrich Gipp Hanne (Emilie) Friederike (Gipp) Seidler Friederike Sophie Dorothee (Gipp) Krueger Lived mid 1850's to 1880 census-Old Milan, Ripley County IN. Death Records: No certificate or church record listed in Milan, IN   No probate or will located for him or wife No sale of his residence was found. Wife -St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Milan, IN- has record of her death. No tombstone can be located for either of them. Tried Decatur County, IN, for tombstone -none listed. Tried church in Dearborn County, IN, where they married.  No death or tombstone found. No death found in Wisconsin, Minnesota or Illinois in areas relatives resided. Church: Called many Methodist & Lutheran Churches in Milan, Osgood, Batesville.  Nothing found. In his Aunts April 23, 1887 Will Henry was bequeathed a House & Lot #5 in Keens Addition, Milan, IN. plus other items, upon her death which occurred in Dec 1889. No land transfer was found at Ripley County, IN, Courthouse or Ripley County, IN, Historical Society. This piece of land has records that supposedly stop in 1846.

Kippelen. Thank you so much, Kathy

Author: FlJeeper Surnames: BURNS PICKET Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.ripley/2990.3.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Thank you for your posting! I am one of several people trying to establish the descendants of Thomas Burns (James H, Jacob C, etc) c1840s in Ripley. I, and I know others, have written the Society for research. We all believed that Thomas and his wife Catherine had died in Ripley Co. However, I have discovered that he moved to Lee Co, Ia, in 1844. His daughter Almira married James Picket and they subsequently all moved together. However, Thomas' wife at that time was Phebe not Catherine. It may well be that Catherine did die in Ripley and Thomas married Phebe but we cannot find that marriage. Thomas' widow Phebe and James Picket's widow Almira both moved back to Ripley by the 1860 census (Almira's children are living with Phebe but she is living in a hotel). Almira remarried about a month after the 1860 census. All that said, I would be interested in anything the Society might have on Phebe Burns. She shows on the 1860 census as owning property but I cannot find a will or probate record on her. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
