Law Rootsweb: This may be of interest to all descended from Wm. JOEL LAW b Va 1782, d 10 Sept 1835 in Jeffersom Co. Indiana. Today i went to the old LAW home place that Joel and his companian Sussanah Bain homesteaded in 1813 before Indiana became a state in 1816. From old Land plats and records I found the home place and from the death records for Jefferson Co, saying it was the NW quarter of Land sectinn 27. Than meant 160 acres. I looked at 159 acres before I found the cemetery. As I was trying to get across an old swamp I got stuck in midstep and fell in that mud that wwas over knee deep. I was lucky, I got out, but never go out like that alone. Think of how some one would have enjoyed seeing me in that mud. It was a bright sunny day and I got pictures of all the stones. Some were broken and all were flat on the ground but I hope they will be good pictures. Beside JOEL and SUSSANAH there was Lewis Bain and Cynthia, Thomas, b29 July 1828, d20 Aug 1828., John b 3 Sept 1824, d 10 Jan 1826 and two Infants. I also went to the VALLEY cemetery and took pictures of Joel,s son Charles L. Law. Noe I have all the mud washed off I am going to bed. [email protected]
