Would anyone be able to tell me if a plot map or index of stones exists for St. Mary's Cemetery on Old Romney Rd. I recently visited this cemetery while on a trip to Lafayette and was surprised at how big it was and unfortunately was unable to find the stones I was looking for. If anyone knows how I might find out what section they are in - Please email me and I will give you the specifics. Thanks Leslie

It does have a few Goldsberrys buried there, but there are also a lot of other families, so I wouldn't think it was because of how many Goldsberrys there are. Peggy

Surnames: Bailey, Brown, Cook, Digby, Jennings, Mills, Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Hi.2ADI/1782 Message Board Post: Rachel Bailey Brown was the sister of Catherine Bailey Cook Digby, mother of William Digby, founder of Lafayette. She was the daughter of Groombright Bailey and Mary Moore. Rachel and Catherine were sisters of my ancestor, Mary "Polly" Bailey, who married Elijah Mills in 1789 at Hamilton Co., OH. All were a part of the group of original settlers of Hamilton Co., OH, in 1788. Elijah and Mary Mills lived in Butler County, OH, but other members of the Bailey family came to Indiana in 1818. Catherine Digby, Rachel and her husband Robert Brown, are all buried at Greenbush Cemetery in Lafayette. Read an account of their settlement in Ohio which is found in the Draper Manuscripts: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohhamilt/draper3.html Adina Dyer ================================================================== The Lafayette Daily Journal, November 26, 1850. DIED--On the evening of the 18th of November, MRS. RACHEL BROWN in the seventy-second year of her age passed away. The deceased was among the very earliest settlers of the Wabash country, being among the first passengers that landed between the two Miamis, having for their object the permanent settling of this country. The landing was made, as appears from a record I find in the old Family Bible on the 18th day of November 1787, a short distance below the mouth of the little Miami, on the north bank of the Ohio, at a point afterwards called Columbus [my note: should be Columbia]. There were several families in the company and amongst the rest a Baptist minister by the name of GOFORTH. On stopping they came upon the bank and through their minister offered up to their Heavenly Father their praise and thanksgiving for his kind care over them during their perilous journey and implored his protection and blessing on this hazardous adventure. After the religious duties were performed, according to the old lady's story, her father GEORGE GROOMBRIGHT BAILEY, being the oldest man in the company, took an axe and cut down the first sapling supposed to be between the Miamis with reference to permanent settlement. They then proceeded to clear some ground and erect block houses for their protection against the treacherous savages by whom they were surrounded. However, in a few days they were all taken prisoners. But finally being well accustomed to the usage of the Indians in those days of trial, they succeeded in making a treaty with them for one year, during which time they were permitted to live peaceably, though after the time expired they were much annoyed an! d troubled, having several of their men killed and considerable property stolen. Among those killed was a brother THOMAS BAILEY, a brother-in-law ABEL COOK, and DAVID JENNINGS, grandfather to the present DR. JENNINGS of Lafayette. Her oldest brother, Capt. JAMES FRANCIS BAILEY, was killed in St. Clair's defeat, and her other brothers made many narrow escapes, being amongst the foremost in the Indian wars carried on under HARMER, ST. CLAIR, and WAYNE. She was married to her late husband in April 1796 and I believe soon after the whole family removed up to the Great Miami and settled where Middletown now stands. Here they continued to reside until about 1817 when some of the brothers began to look to the west and made up their minds to emigrate to the Wabash country. The old father and mother still living and not tired of the backwoods life, although opposed by some of their children yet remaining behind, determined to go along. Accordingly they prepared boats and in them descended the Miami and the Ohio and hence up the Wabash. Unfortunately, however, the old man died on the way and was buried on the banks of the Wabash, somewhere, I believe, near Vincennes. The remainder of the party proceeded up the river and settled somewhere near Fort Harrison. MRS. BROWN removed with her husband to Lafayette in 1831, where she continued to live until her death, so there passed amongst us probably the last of that little band, that over sixty-three years ago were the first to break the stillness of that awful solitude that has reigned for ages over the unbroken wilderness of the North Western Territory. She lived in times that were truly desirable to live in. What has not been accomplished in those sixty-three years. Then the emigrant after building his own conveyance, launched it upon the river and waited patiently for the currents to carry him to his place of destination. Then the dispatches were carried by daring men who slung their knapsacks of provisions on their backs, and with rifle in hand made their way on foot through a howling wilderness. How different did she see it before she died? Instead of the vast wilderness that cast an awful gloom over the cabins of the settlers, she was everywhere greeted by cultivated fi! elds and comfortable dwellings. Instead of the scanty fare procured by the hunter from the woods, every family seemed bountifully supplied with food and many of the luxuries of life. Instead of the perogue upon tthe river, she now traveled in the fast running and splendid steamboats that fill our rivers. Instead of the express depending on the speed of tired and weary foot passenger, today it is sent with lightening speed. She was permitted to live through these many years ever since that lonely band dare to strike the first blow between the two Miamis. It struck me that little narrative would be acceptable to members of her family and friends of the deceased and such is respectfully tendered by J.G.S. Lafayette, Indiana, November 25, 1850

HIGGS, one of the successful farmers of Wabash Township, residing on section 16, was born in Allen County, Ohio, April 10, 1828, a son of JAMES and CYNTHIA (SEAMAN) HIGGS. They were natives of Maryland and Virginia, respectively, and both were reared on the banks of the Potomac River. They were married in Maryland, and soon after immigrated to Allen County, Ohio, locating there when the Indians were more numerous than the white settlers. The father entered land in Allen County, where he resided until 1839, and in the fall of that year he came to Tippecanoe County, Indiana, making the journey by wagon, over almost impassable roads. On this journey they were a whole day in going a distance of four miles on account of the condition of the roads. The father made a settlement in Wea Township, where he continued to reside until his death in 1844, his widow surviving him until 1847. They were the parents of four children of whom WILLIAM H., the subject of this sket! ch, is the only one living. He was a lad of eleven years when brought by his parents to this county, and here he was reared amid the scenes and incidents of pioneer life. After the death of his parents he was left among strangers, and was knocked around from place to place until his marriage, which occurred in 1858, to MISS MARIA PAYNE. Her parents, PHILIP and HESTER (WILKINS) PAYNE, were both natives of Ohio, and were among the early settlers of this county, coming here about the year 1829. Two of the three children born to MR. and MRS. HIGGS are living, their names being EVERETT and LAURA J. A daughter, named MARIA, is deceased. MR. HIGGS spent two years in Wea Township after his marriage, and in the fall of 1861, he removed to Wabash Township, and purchased 126 acres of land where he has since made his home. He has made many improvements on his land which is now very productive and under good cultivation, and his residence and farm buildings are built in the modern! style. In politics MR.

They resided in the village one month, when the father entered 240 acres of land in the woods of Wabash Township, to which he removed his family, camping in the woods until he could make a clearing and erect a cabin. He next began to clear away the timber and prepare the soil for cultivation, and for the greater part of this labor he was compelled to rely on his own brawny arms and determined courage, his children being too young to render him available assistance. NICHOLAS MARSTELLER was then but eight years of age, but as he grew in years and strength, he became a great help to his father, assisting him in the improvement and cultivation of the farm. Being rear! ed to the vocation of a farmer he made that his life work, and by patience and persevering industry, and strict economy, he has acquired a handsome estate, and while careful in amassing his own private fortune, he has never been less generous than his neighbors in contributing toward the furtherance of enterprises tending toward the improvement of his township and county. MR. MARSTELLER was united in marriage November 14, 1844, to MISS ELIZABETH EMERSON, a daughter of JAMES EMERSON, one of the old and honored pioneers of Tippecanoe County. MR. and MRS. MARSTELLER are the parents of two sons -- GEORGE EMERSON and CHARLES ALMUS, the latter a graduate of Butler University, Irvington, near Indianapolis, and now studying law under MR. VINTON, Jr. MR. MARSTELLER continued to reside on his father's farm until 1848, at which time he engaged in farming on his own account. In 1869 he was elected trustee of Wabash Township, and having served one term to the entire satisfaction of his constituents, he was re-elected, and filled that office six consecutive years. In 1871 he relinquished his farming pursuits to engage in the lumber trade in Lafayette, which he followed until the fall of 1875, when his planing mill was destroyed by fire. He is now retired from active business, yet oversees his several farms. He has a handsome residence at Chauncey, wh! ere he now resides, surrounded with all the necessary comforts of life, and enjoying the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens. Both he and his wife are active and consistent members of the Christian church.
