Printed by Tippecanoe Press, Inc., Shelbyville, Indiana 1968. There are several references to Jeremiah Bennet, the Bennet House and a Michael Bennet. There are also two other books printed around the same time with history of the county. Shelby County All Riled Up ( covers mainly the civil war period) by John Wetknight, and a picture history. I own all three. Most of the other names on your list are also mentioned in the first book. I am sure copies of these would be available in the Shelbyville library.

From Barb Huff: Guardianship of Mordecai, William and Nancy Means, 1859-1871 http://www.rootsweb.com/~inshelby/courthouse/estate_records/gdn_means.htm Very interesting collection of receipts that describe not only how the children dressed, but also the names of tutors and merchants in Noble Township. References to connections in Kentucky. Contractor's bill even gives some idea of how the house was constructed/maintained. Our thanks to Barb for all her hard work!

I did not find a Charles Merrick to fit yours anywhere in Indiana. The birth place in the obit could be wrong for Charles;are you sure he was b in Shelby? 1880 has Ohio, and I found this Charles and Wm who fit the 1880 there in 1850.

I would like to hear from descendants of Lizzie GERMAN, b. c1868, who married Thomas BEYNON in Shelby Co. in 1886.

Charles Merrick's father was William Merrick, according to his death certificate, but it does not list his mother. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phyllis Miller Fleming" <phyllis@shelbycountyindiana.org> To: <INSHELBY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2005 1:48 PM Subject: Re: [INSHELBY] Charles Merrick, Shelby Co, IN > Have you contacted the Health Dept? > http://www.rootsweb.com/~inshelby/health_dept.htm > > Also, would there be cemetery records available? > > P > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <rufus1953@aol.com> > To: <INSHELBY-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 9:23 PM > Subject: [INSHELBY] Charles Merrick, Shelby Co, IN > > > > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > > > Surnames: Merrick, Pea > > Classification: Query > > > > Message Board URL: > > > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Bi.2ADI/548 > > > > Message Board Post: > > > > Am searching for the parents of Charles Merrick b. 1843, d.

No, but there is an old family around here named Foutch. I have done a little research on them for someone connected to them. I am not kin to either one of those families.

Jill, on my cable they repeat the show immediately after the first showing. I could never stay awake for the second one though! No one calls until you really want to see something, it seems. Carleen

i think it is a different family, I have found no connections. The expert on those "Fuch's" is Betty Thralls Randall, she isnt online. Do you know her? She is one of those genealogist who have been doing it the old fashioned way for 50+ years...actually records and everything. She has written several books. If you dont know here contact me and I can get you her address, she lives in the Columbus, IN area.

Is the name also spelled Futch/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Virginia Flesher" <vflesher@onemain.com> To: <INSHELBY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2005 4:26 AM Subject: [INSHELBY] FUCHS > George, are your FUCHS families connected to these in Gibson Co TN?
