For anyone with Arizona connections, I just discovered that the The Mesa Regional Family History Center http://mesarfhc.org/ has added the ability to search for pre-1953 Arizona births and deaths from their online site. http://mesarfhc.org/

I'm searching for information on MARTIN HOBBS who was found on an 1880 census listing for Yell County AR where it showed that he was born ABT 1864 in IN (probably Washington Co.) and was the son of JOHN and HANNAH OVERMAN HOBBS of Washington County, Indiana. There is a SLIM possibility that he married a SUSAN DAVIS on the 24 Aug 1892 in Yell County, AR; but I can't be certain of that. Does anyone have that line? Martin Hobbs, based upon this census record, is the brother of my own ancestor, John Harvey Hobbs. I'd like to find out more about Martin and his father's Hobbs line in North Carolina. Hope one of you can help. K McGee ~~~~ Genealogy: http://home.earthlink.net/~kmcgee03/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cousins

My mother, Marcella Ratts has told me about the race track on her grandfathers Philip Harvey Diehl Jr., farm near Salem, or really closer to Pekin Indiana.  This would have been in the late 1920s as my mother was born in 1918.

I just attended the Ratts Reunion in Georgia for 2003 and had a wonderful time. The core group of Ratts relatives are from a common ancestor John Nelson Ratts 1851-1928 but we are all related to Godfried Ratz and Margaret Swicegood 1746/47-1806. I am working on a book to be released at the 2005 reunion.  I am looking for stories and facts on the Ratts family. Also am looking fro descendants that would be interested in meeting with us. I am looking for relatives and stories of Oscar Ratts 1873-1933 an Indiana statesman. Going over my chart, there are lots of Ratts descendants missing from our reunion, I listed a few in the heading. The lines from Godfried that are represented are: John Ratts-1881-1957 and Minnie Hein 1888-1976 Edmund Ratts 1879-1947 and Nancy May Smith 1882-1978 Thomas Albert Ratts 1878-1925 and Ina Tash 1880-1915 and Esther Diehl 1893-1930 >From these ancestors, we gather annually about 30 Ratts and collateral families, I am sure there are hundreds of others. For 2004 we are having a beach party in Florida, but I am looking forward to the 2005 reunion, "Back home in Indiana" This reunion, 2005 will be held in Salem Indiana, the home place for many of the Ratts kin.   If you would be interested in attending this or any other Ratts reunion please let me know.   We will have an Indiana picnic, something that I remember from my early years in Lynn Indiana and many tours to cemeteries and home places.

You might be interested in some of my notes, or may already have this information. My connection is only that Philip H Diehl, Jr.'s second wife was one of my Boling "cousins" --Martha "Mattie" Louella Boling who married 1st to Moses Liming & second to Philip H Diehl, Jr. on 5 Jun 1919 in Salem. I have nothing more on him that what I show here.

Congratulations!! What a list!! I got an answer in about an hour from the time I posted my query! Marcia from your list sent me info on where Daisy is buried AND the fact that Daisy's parent's ARE buried in the same cemetery. Here is what she sent; I found Daisey's parents in Crown Hill Cemtery, Salem, IN Benjamin Weddle B. July 14, 1848 D. Oct. 26, 1923 Sp: Mary Utterbach Father: Hiram Weddle Mother: Martha Harmon Mary A> Weddle B. Sept. 28, 1853 D. June 13, 1929 Sp: Benjamin K. Weddle Father: Clark Utterback Mother: Fanny Kirby There is also this entry: Weddle child B.? D. Dec 17, 1910 Parents: Benjamin Weddle and Mary Utterback To complete the info, Daisy was born July 29, 1890 and the obit states she died Dec 18, 1910 I would like to know if they have headstones. I assume Daisy does not since her name does not appear here. Some Gen sites have photo's of headstones is this available on the Washington Co., In site? We are in the funeral business and I have been busy getting headstones for the unmarked graves of our relatives. This couple is my husband's great grandparents. Thanks so much, Theresa Weddell

Bev Weddell has been so kind to find the obit on Miss Daisy May Weddell (name Weddle on census reports) Daisy May Weddell b. 29 July 1890 d. 18 Dec. 1910, age 20 died St. Joseph's Hosp. Louisville, Ky. Remains brought back to Brownstown, Jackson Co., In for funeral at Holiness Church, services conducted by Rev. Shirley. Remains taken to Salem, Washington County, In for burial. I need to know the cemetery she is buried in. Her entire family is traced in Jackson county, IN from the early 1800s to early 1900s in Jackson county. Her paternal ( Weddle) grandparents are buried in Carr Twp. in Jackson County. I cannot locate the burial place of Daisy's parents anywhere near her family in Jackson county. There is no explanation as to why she is in Salem, Washington Co., IN. No one lived there that is known. Now that I have learned Daisy is buried somewhere in Salem,Washington County, that may be the clue as to where her parents are also buried. Her parents are Benjamin K. (Kox) Weddle (Weddell) and Mary Ann Utterback Weddle (Weddell) Benjamin b. abt 1848 Mary Ann b. abt 1853 They both died in the late 1920s or early 1930s Both were born in Indiana Both died in Indiana. Thanks for any help, Theresa

I have been able to determine that the Albert T. Emery that was the son of Samson and M.J. was, indeed, my great grandmothers twin brother. Thanks to all who helped. Apparently, my great grandmother, Alberta, married a man by the name of Taggart or Taggert before she married my great grandfather. If anyone knows of, or can find documentation of this, please, let me know. Also still searching for information on Samsons other wife, Mary Shepherd, a possible 3rd wife, and the identity of Samsons step-son Elmer Blair as listed on the 1880 census. Thank you.

It has to be another Samson. Mine was born in 1830 and was 50 in the 1880 census. I suspect that the Albert listed is supposed to be Alberta. She was born in 1869. was does the 9/12 mean? I believe the Julianna family next door is his mother, and siblings. If this is the same immediate family to my Samson "Albert T. Emery b. Sept 25, 1869 d. Nov 20, 1871 s/o Samson D. & M. J." I wonder if my great grandmother, Alberta had a twin.

yeah, thats mine. I submitted that when that was all the info I had.
