    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Miller, Hedrick, Routh, Kimmel, Gale, Page, Crawley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/UNB.2ACI/946.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Wow, you just answered several questions as to where people were buried. Thank you. The 1910 Cullen Township census states that William Riley's marriage to Delitha was his second and the number of years of this marriage was 24. Then in the 1930 census he states he 18 years old when he was first married and Delitha was 15. If you go by the 1849 on what you just sent from the cemetery, he would have been married the first time about 1867. The 1900 Cullen Township census states Wm Riley was born in November of 1852, and would put it at 1870 when he was married the first time. I have a date of birth for him of Oct. 5, 1849 which was calculated from his age in the obit and date of death. The 1880 Cullen Township census lists a William Miller, age 31, MO, TN, TN, wife-Nancy, age 24, MO, MO, MO, children-John A, age 6, Idie A (female) age 3, and Willis M, age 1. Information that another lady sent me states that Ida married a Yeager. As for the Hedrick line. Delitha Hedrick/Headrick was a daughter of William Henry Harrison Hedrick/Headrick and his second wife, Jemima 'Ellen' (Harris) Crawley. Wm HH's first wife was Julia Ann Page. Wm HH was born about 1814 in Kentucky and died at Crocker on Dec. 3, 1895. He and Julia were married in 1833 in Greene Co, IN. She died before 1864 when he married Ellen on Apr. 21, 1864. Wm HH and Julia have two children buried at the Pleasantville Cemetery, Pleasantville, Sullivan Co, IN and I believe this is probably where she is buried. He patented 80 acres of land in the southwestern corner of Greene County in 1839 having moved there from Daviess Co. The land was about 1 mile east of the Sullivan Co line and 1 mile north of the Knox Co line. Wm. and Julia had at least nine children. John M. (married Rebecca Padgett), Thomas J (1st wife Eliza Maxwell, 2nd wife, Mary Knowles, came to MO), Mills W (buried Pleasantville), William (buried Pleasantville), Sarah A. (married Wm Rooksberry), George Washington (married Anna Susannah Cupps, came to MO, then to CA), Mary A. 'Jane' (married Johnathan Knowles), Harriet (married James Anderson in 1882 in Miller Co, MO), and Henry. The children of Wm. and Ellen were Samuel, Joseph Ely, Nancy A. (married William Henry Routh), Delitha, Ella May, Silvildia Ettabelle (married George E. Kimmel), Lucresia, Susan S. (married George W. Gale), Dessy, and Adron (married Cora E. Kimmel). Ellen (Harris) Crawley was born (1900 census info) Jan. 1843 in Indiana and died at Alpena Pass, Ark. on May 23, 1907. Wm HH was a son of Johan Peter Hedrick and I believe his second wife Mary (?)Tipton. Peter's first wife was Catharine Heck. Peter was a son of George Heinrich Hetrick of Berks Co, PA. Peter was born in Berks Co, PA and died between 1840 and 1850, probably in Greene Co, IN. Peter had two sisters, Catherine (married John Friberger), Maria Appolonia 'Abelina' (married Peter Feg), and Elizabeth; and two brothers, William (went to TN), and Johan Jost 'Joseph'. Peter and Joseph both went to Garrard Co, KY. Peter then went to Daviess Co, IN and then to Greene Co. Joseph left KY and moved to Howard Co, MO. Hope this helps! Bev.
