Sorry, there is a typo in this. In the Mennonite church list, the name should be CHRISTIAN Shinebeck, not Christine. I've corrected it below.--Susan I found a very nice little book called "Horn Book of Early History of Perry township, Tippecanoe County, Indiana 1810-1860." Compiled by George E. Howard. Privately printed. No date. The book includes a history of the churches of the township. Churches covered are: United Brethren Church Mennonite Church Oxford Presbyterian Church German Reformed Church Methodist Church Cedar Bluff Meeting House I will summarize the information in the booklet. United Brethren Church: The account begins with Rev. Robert Brown of Lafayette preaching the first sermon in the woods at Daniel Underhill's house. Services continued in the homes of settlers until 1834, when Gideon Chapel was erected in section 22, at the north end of Gideon Cemetery. It was a frame building. About the same time Rev. Joseph Hershey arrived. He "promoted the establishment" of several UB churches, including Union Chapel on his farm in section 16. David M. B. Patton arrived with his mother and stepfather in 1827. He grew up in the area and went on to become a UB mninister. In 1888 the congregation built a new building that they named Zion. The old church was torn down. Members of Gideon Chapel included: Ephraim Tucker, David Patton, Charles Sewards, Moses Banker, John Gard, John Robeson, William Powell, Andrew J. Patton, Moses Tucker, Jeremiah Virgin, Peter Farner, Sidney Arnold, Erastus Robeson, Sewell Cleaver, Gabriel Myers, M. M. Virgin, and Samuel Weaver. Early members of Union Chapel were Rev. Joseph M. Hershey, George Carson, Henry Elzy, Julia Ann Smith, Jacob Leslie, William Whistler, William Hershey, and Laura K. Gober. The Mennonites in Perry township were led by John Zimmerman, who served the congregation for 25 years. A church was erected in section 12, a short distance east of the Fairview church. John Zimmerman owned a Froschouer Bible, printed in 1536 in Zurich, Switzerland. Church members included the families of John Zimmerman, Christian Ehresman, Jacob Amstutz, Christian Shinebeck, C. Salzman, William Amstutz, and Hiram Amstutz. The Oxford Presbyterian Church was constructed in 1830 about a quarter of a mile north of the southeast corner of the township. It was probably the first church building in the township. It was known as the Oxford Meeting House. It was a log structure with a dirt floor. The founder of the church was Rev. James A. Carnahan, who founded several churches in this part of the state, including Dayton Presbyterian church. After a few years the Oxford church closed and the members transferred to Dayton. The Reformed Church moved into the building. Members of the Presbyterian church included the following families: George D. Sharpe, William Wallace, Henry Clapper, Daniel Darland, William C. Parke, George Warrick, Aaron Perrin, Samuel Brand, Henry Miller, and William Gaddis. The German Reformed Church was organized in 1840. They moved into the building vacated by the Oxford Presbyterian church. In 1928 the church was closed and most members transferred to the Reformed Church in Mulberry. A Lutheran congregation also used the Oxford church building. Reformed Church families included: Fred Landes, Aaron Kern, J. B. Roth, John Bolyard, Roy Brand, Russell Dunk, Floyd Bolyard, Nathaniel Landes, Elmer Kern, Albert Mills, Wallace Paul, Charles Moyer, Frank De Long, and Harry Yundt. A Methodist Church was organized at a very early date, and a log church building was erected in section 16. The congregation did not last long. No list of members has survived. The Cedar Bluff Meeting house was a frame building erected in section 19 in accordance with the provisions of the will of George N. Foresman, owner of the Eagle Mill. It was used by groups who had no building of their own, and burned down sometime after the Civil War. The same will provided for a school house, but none was ever built. A cemetery was also provided for, and one was established that contained about twenty graves. Families who attended church here and were probably buried in the cemetery were: William Toole, Levi Dickerson, J. Duteels, and John De Witt.

Brady's son, William, born. 28 Oct. 1863. Everyone that I have corresponded with, says that he married Phillipa Tomlin. However, according to the census records, the William that married Phillipa, was born in 1855 in Ohio and lived in Iowa. So either by birth information for William is wrong, or the spouse is wrong. Can you help me in any way, sort this out? Thank you, Katrina

I'm looking for information on Dr. James F. Layton. In 1866, he married Mary Ellen Sumpter in Rockville Park Co IN and in 1879 they are enumerated in Clarks Hill Tippecanoe IN. They had two sons, Logan S. b ca 1868 and Harry b ca. 1878. He died before 1880, I think, as he is not with Mary Ellen in that census. Does anyone have information? Thanks Suzanne
