This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Bi.2ADI/527.1 Message Board Post: First of all, I hope that you know that prior to 1850 census all censuses contained the name of the head of household only. All others (including the head) are listed by gender and approximate age. So, even if we find the correct family, the names of spouses and children would not be listed. I could find no one by the name of Hartley (including all variations of the name) in the 1830 census for Shelby county. In the 1840 census there is one family headed by Roger M Hartley. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help but that is what was wrong with the census in those days. Good luck. Don

This was sent to me via admin mail from rootsweb. I decided to share it with the list in case there is anyone interested. Melinda I have an announcement about the Indiana Genealogical Society's upcoming conference, and I thought it might be of interest to your INSHELBY listers, particularly because it's being held in neighboring Madison County. Would you consider posting this to the list? *********** Come to Anderson in April!

Thanks so much for the Wicker information & the burial data. Elijah Wicker was David L. Wicker's brother. I don't know who Ora or Della were. I believe that David L. Wicker had three marriages. If this is wrong, please let me know. 1) Sarah Vance c. 1825 in NC. She died August 24, 1870. 2) Permelia Bassett on October 12, 1872 in Shelby Co. 3) Celia Jane Lemons on March 31, 1880 in Shelby Co. What is bothering me is that I can't seem to locate the burial location of Permelia Wicker or Permelia (Davis) (Drake) Bassett. Perhaps she is buried with her first husband or her mother Clarissa (Viers) Davis, both of whom I can't locate. Permelia Davis married 2 times that I know of. 1) William Drake on September 20, 1835 in Shelby Co. He died c. 1842. 2) Samuel Bassett on July 27, 1845 in Shelby Co. He died in 1864 during the Civil War in GA. I am probably wrong about all of this, but I keep wondering if the 2nd Permelia married David Wicker & then they got divorced. Does anybody have access to estate records for these families? I'd like to rule out the divorce theory. Mary

Hi Mary, the burial location for David L. Wicker is as follows: Blue River Chapel Cemetery located in Marion township Shelby County, Indiana on road 400 E, south of road 600 N, on the wsest side of the road. Row 5 South to North David L. Wicker Dec 11, 1806 - May 2, 1896 There is no Permelia Wicker listed with him, but these are buried by him. Ora Wicker 1878 -1932 Della Wicker 1877 -1950 (2 on stone) Elijah Wicker Sept 27, 1818 - Dec 11, 1898 Also, shows in Shelby County Marriage Book the following: David L. Wicker married Permelia Bassett Oct 12, 1872 Book 10 page 59 David L. Wicker married Celia Jane Lemons March 31, 1880 Book 11 page 429 In the Shelby County Death Record is the following: David L. Wicker Male White 99 May 2, 1896 Died Hanover Township- Book H-21 page 21 also look at page 26 same book. The death date is the same as the cemetery burial date, they may have just written it down wrong at some time, I am sure this is the same person. There are numerous Wicker's listed, it does not show either wife, Permelia or Celia.
