Mary Shortridge was supposedly born ca 1857 in Buchanan Co. VA. I have not found any ties in Indiana, except one. Isaac Newton Brown had a brother, Ambrose Brown, who apparently left VA and went to Indiana sometime Bet. August 15, 1850 - July 13, 1867. As of 1897 he was not listed on his grandfather's will. I have found this info: The oldest boy was Ambross he went west and took Measels on the roade and took cold and died in Indiania. Source: Mathias A.
