This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Dryer, Gregory Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Hi.2ADI/1679.2 Message Board Post: This is rather long, and if you want more details, email me privately. I have found three John A. Dryers with connections in Tippecanoe County, but only one of them has a Missouri connection. John A. Dryer number 1 is listed as a grandson in the will of Simon Dryer (will record 1, p. 47, dated Sept. 28, 1835, probated October 21, 1835). This means he would be older than your John A. Dryer. Heirs of Simon Dryer are sons Herman F., John W., James E., Simon D. C., and grandchildren Maryette and John A. John A. Dryer number 2 was born in 1872, after your John A. Dryer. He is the son of Andrew W. and Mary J. Dryer, the grandson of Edward and Margaret (Gregory) Dryer in the census listings already posted here. This means he would be younger than your John A Dryer. John A. Dryer number 3 is mentioned in a quit claim deed for a lot in Dayton, IN in 1884. He is married to Margaret A. Dryer and they live in Missouri. The lot in question was purchased by Harriett Dryer Perry in 1865 and sold to George Kellenberger in 1866. When Mr. Kellenberger tried to sell it in 1884, he apparently needed a quit claim deed. For some reason, he got one from John A Dryer of Missouri, although it appears that Harriett was still living, and in Dayton. I don’t know what the relationship between Harriett and John is, but there must be one. Harriett C. Dryer (1818-1895) is the daughter of James Dryer and Catherine Cronover. She married Joseph S. Perry (1812-1899) in Tippecanoe County in 1837. They went to Missouri during the Civil War, then returned to Dayton (source: bio of Joseph S. Perry, Biographical History, p. 407). Harriett and Joseph don’t seem to have had any children (at least none are mentioned in the bio), but she raised her niece, K! ate Stanley, the daughter of her sister Mary A. (Dryer) Stanley. There is a James E. Dryer on the 1840 census in Sheffield township. Perhaps this is Harriett’s father. This makes James look like the James E. Dryer listed as one of the sons of Simon Dryer of the will mentioned under John A. Dryer number 1 above. This Simon Dryer may be the brother of Edward Dryer who married Margaret Gregory, whose family is listed in the censuses already posted (Edward died about 1836). This could explain why there is a John Dryer in her household in 1860 who is the right age for your John A. Dryer. It looks to me as if your John A Dryer fits in this family, but the dates don’t work, and I don’t know what the relationship is. Could the birth date you gave be wrong? If this is the right family, I may have the names of the next generation back as well. A correspondent gave me these names, but she listed 17 children, so some of them may belong to another family.

LIST: Dryer, MARGARET AGE 57 PROPERTY VAL: 2500 B: KY. This is Margaret Gregory, widow of Edward M. Dryer DAVID 30 WM. 34/FARMER ANDREW 22/FARMER HIRAM 20/FARMER EDWARD 15 The rest of the people are her sons. I believe these are all in the same household 1850. She and Edward also had a daughter Mary 1821-39. Margaret Dryer owned a farm on the west edge of Dayton, marked on the 1878 atlas. 1860 CENSUS (SAME PLACE) LIST:D=DAYTON JOHN 481 D DAVID 481 D MARGARET "GUEST" 481D SARAH 481D WHEELER 481 D Here Margaret appears as "Guest." She died in 1878 and is buried in Dayton cemetery. Her name is on the stone for her brother, David H. Gregory and his wife Mariah. David H. Gregory was one of the founders of the town of Dayton. The list above is from an index. Here is the entry: Dryer, David, 40, OH, farmer (head of household) Margaret, 65, KY, guest Wheeler, 24, IN, farmer Sarah, 17, IN domestic John, 14, IN Other heads of household in 1860 Dryer, Allen p. 469 Andrew, p. 506-- Hiram H. p. 502 Lewis p. 475 (in Dayton) William M., p. 481 (in Dayton) It appears the above John, age 14 in 1860, is the right age to be your John A., but I can't verify that at the moment, and I don't know whose son he is. I only have two daughters for David Dryer: Susan and Nona. My notes are too confused. I will have to get back to you. Susan

Around 1950/51 I remember playing basketball @ a home on Brice Street between 26th and 27th and there was a younger boy by the name of Jack Hellemkamp (spelling) there. He liveded on 26th street and said that his Uncle, "Emmet Kelly," was in town and for us to come and meet him. When we got there he had left or was not available. That was the last Jack ever mentioned his Uncle. I read your note and thought I would throw a name out (Hellemkamp) to see if it meant anything to you. I left in 1953 and never saw Jack again.
