I just received some more ideas for research. I am interested in the idea of a ferry crossing just about south of where Stanley is located and trying to figure out at which point it would have come into the Indiana side. Also, checking the names of the roads that run into the river is a great idea..assuming they have the word "ferry" attached to the name of the road. What prompted this whole thought process is this: An ancestor, Conrad Heppler, married in 1852, was a tailor in Newburgh,IN. He evidently lived with is father-in-law, Charles Hebbard, until his C. Hebbard's death in 1860. It appears that the Heppler family moved back and forth across the river from, I presume, Daviess County to Warrick County. I think, Daviess County and not Henderson County, as the Charles Hebbard's will was probated in Daviess County and his property was located there between Stanley and Reed. Evidently, Charles Hebbard (for whom Hebbardsville was named) left Henderson County and settled in the extreme west side of Daviess County. My great-grandmother, daughter of Conrad & Bathsheba Heppler, had a rather unusual first name. I have discovered that if one follows the Yankeetown Road in Warrick County as it heads a little northward, there is a short, little road jutting off Yankeetown Rd. with the name of my great-grandmother. Thus, I have wondered if my ancestors lived on that road back in the 1850s..1860s. I was unable to get any information from the courthouse in Boonville, IN as to the naming of the road. I wondered if there was a ferry crossing the river from a point to the southern most end of Yankeetown Road. Just a little curiosity on my part. Marilyn
