Good morning, I'm passing on an interesting article on cemetery issues of today. Isn't it interesting how we all become involved in gathering facts on our family history? "Five hundred years isn't all that long ago," she said. "It doesn't separate me from my family." http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/front/5553576.htm ~~~ Also, If anyone is local and would like to join us tonight at our Genealogy Society Meeting, the program is on: "The History of Funerals and Records form a Genealogical point of view" Mr. John Benefiel speaking from Solar Baker Funeral Home. 7 PM at the TCHA library located at: 1001 South 10th Street, Lafayette, IN. Love to have you, L.A. Clugh Working on Tippecanoe Co. pioneer cemeteries. http://www.rootsweb.com/~intcpcrg/Index.html

There is a Stafford family in Tippecanoe County that owns a farm in South Raub (County Road 800 South (also called the Attica Blacktop) at the RR tracks). They have had that farm my whole life, so I've always assumed it is a family farm. They had twins that graduated in my high school class. You might be able to find some contact information on switchboard.com or something. I will also ask my mother what she knows about that family. My paternal grandparents lived across the road for that last several years of their lives. --- Randy Ritchie Shawnee Mission, KS Researching the Brand, Edwards, Gray, Ray, Ritchie, Royer and Troncoso families On 6 Apr 2003 01:39:51 -0700 mjmdavis1934 wrote: >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/Hi.2ADI/1595.1.1 > >Message Board Post: > >Sorrie I can't help you on your Stafford research.

BlankJohn and Catherine Weaver moved to Tippecanoe Co sometime during the 1830's I believe as my gr-grandfather Charles W was born there in 1836. Charles studied medicine under a doctor there, I believe his last name was Leslie, Charles married his daughter, Catherine in 1867. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has any information concerning any of these individuals. I believe John and Catherine were born in Darke Co Ohio around 1806 and 1807. Thanks for any info that anyone can give me. Lois Weaver

Hello, I am looking for any mention of the Jones Hotel in Lafayette in the mid 1800s, probably 1860s, and/or its proprietor(s). I have seen a specific reference to it in a WPA account of Civil War hospitals, have also seen 1860 census record. Thanks for any leads. Scott Sandmeier [email protected]

Hello List, I am still researching John R. ROBINSON of Battleground according to the Institute that he was attending: http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~gen2/dickrobinsonfamily.htm I have been off list for a time, so hope that maybe a ROBINSON connection has since joined. Thank you Jean Hehn

As you probably know, the two primary Indian leaders of The Battle of Tippecanoe were Tecumseh and his brother, The Prophet. I'm not sure of any other chiefs. Have you tried contacting the museum in Battle Ground, IN? Here is a site that may also be helpful. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ky/tippecanoe/titlepage.html --- Randy Ritchie Shawnee Mission, KS Researching the Brand, Edwards, Gray, Ray, Ritchie, Royer and Troncoso families On 23 Mar 2003 22:52:07 -070 ohioredfeatherlodge wrote: >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > >Surnames: Tecumseh,Main Poc, Standingstone,Redfeather >Classification: Query > >Message Board URL: > >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Hi.2ADI/1707 > >Message Board Post: > >Hi, > I am researching the Chiefs that were in this Battle..any info no matter how small would be apprciated > > _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus

The book "The Frontiersmen" by Allan W. Eckert has a riveting story of Tecumseh and the Battle of Tippecanoe as taken from the Draper papers. I highly recommend it.
