Hi everyone, Thought maybe it was time I posted some of those in Putnam County I'm searching for. GILLASPIE/GLASPIE John Silas born 1873 and died October 1903 (?) He married his first cousin, Mary Ellen Pickering b/28 Nov 1866 and d/29 Sept 1960. They married 16 June 1893 in Exline, Iowa. I'm not sure of the death date. Have a copy of a newspaper notice from Nov, 1903 that a young man named Glaspie had died at his parents home. Only problem is parents to John Silas died years before that in Schuyler County. I am most interested in ANY information on John Silas or his siblings; William, Frances (Frank) Mary and Herman GILLASPIE. PICKERING Parents of Mary Ellen were Ellison V Pickering and Virginia Susan "Ellen" Brown. They are both buried in Shipley Cemetery. BROWN Parents of Virginia Susan were William V Brown and Elisabeth Keys. Would like any information on either of them if possible. RICE/GLASPIE Daisy was a daughter of John Silas and Mary Ellen. I believe she was born about 1900 and died in childbirth in 1925. I'd like to find the obit on Daisy, birthdate, death date, etc. She married Fulton Rice abt 1918-20. There was also a brother to Daisy named Lee GLASPIE who died in infancy. Looking for birth and death date, cemetery, etc. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Sandy in CA

LoVella, I went thru all the Guffey's and couldn't find a Martin listed in any of them for any of the census years 1850-80 and 1900. I did find Serrilda Guffey tho in Richland Twp. in 1860. GUFFEY - Joshua 49 farmer KY Delila 42 IN Seabird 16 male MO William 15 " Jane 12 " Elizabeth 10 " Leroy 8 " Serrilda 4 female " Henry 87 farmer VA Since a few of the pages only have initials instead of first names, I checked for anything with an M and couldn't even find any of those. Considering how many Guffey's were in that county, I was surprised at not finding anything. If he went by another name, let me know and I can check that.

Ruth, Sorry, I couldn't find anything for Erastus D, Jane, Hannah J, Jeny, Edwin Ira Brummet, Dulcey or Dean BAKER. Depending on whereabouts in Putnam Co they lived, have you checked the adjoining county census reports? Even tho some of my ancestors were in Putnam Co, I found them listed in the Schuyler Co. census. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Does anyone who frequents this list actually live in Putnam Co? If so, I am looking for someone who could check out the book at the library which is on the "Dean Family". I am curious if it is about the Henry Clay Dean family or some other Dean Family. I am trying to find out about the ancestry of Henry Clay Dean who died in Putnam Co in 1887 (born in 1822 in PA - I think). Thank you, Glo Wellman Santa Rosa, CA

Yes Sandy, I have the Comstock Funeral Home Records and they are listed from 1916 to 1991. This is an informative source as it gives alot of information. Much of what you get in it is that which was used to put in the obituary. A great source.

I am interested in finding out if Erastus D. Baker and his wife Jane L. and daughter Hannah J. or Jenny are in the 1880 or 1900 census for Putnam County. They lived there for a while I know. Erastus was born somewhere around 1830. He died somewhere between 1905 & 1910. Could you check your estate list for him? I doubt he will be listed. I think they were very poor. I believe he is buried in the Powersville, Putnam Cemetery. His wife Jane, daughter Jenny, and son Edwin Erastus are all buried there. Also, they had a son named Ira Baker that may have lived in Putnam County. He had children named Brummet & Dulcey & Dean. I have pictures of the children. I know nothing of his wife. He was born in Missouri about 1861. Here's hoping! Ruth Helvy Homepage is Pioneers, Patriots, Puritans & Scalawags at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bakhelvy/ Seccomb-L & Helvey-L mail list

Isn't another advantage to posting census inquiry responses on the list (other than for we lurkers) is that they will be archived? That can help someone who finds their Putnam Co. relative three months from now! Keep up the great work -- we appreciate it! Judy J.

Hi Lori, I've gone thru the 1900 Census (yep, he wasn't there). Here's what I found for the 1870 Census. Unfortunately, the enumerator only used initials. So it may or may not be right.

Hi Glo, Yes, I have the written copies of the 1850, 60, 70, 80 and 1900 Census for Putnam Co. Also the Estate Records from 1845 to 1909. But never enough to find my elusive ancestors. Isn't that the way it goes tho? Henry Sr. - In 1880, some of his neighbors were: Theodore and Lorra Bixler George and Sarah Harris Richard and Ellinor Badger Thomas and Amanda Forsythe Thomas and Mary Hogges Ellen Blue Henry Dean Jr. (lived right next door) There was also a Martin L. Bennett, age 44, widow, singing teacher born in IN living with Henry Sr and family. Other Dean's listed in the 1900 Census - Sarah, Jessie, Katie William, Christiana, Rook Davis, Charles, Stewart, Jefferson, Elwin Clay, Dora, Daniel, Edwon, Henry Hope that helps some.

Hi Connie, Looking for just these 4 surnames, especially Guffey and Davis, there is probably 150 or more entries. Do you have first names? Would you like them all? If that be the case, I would prefer you send me (direct) your address and I'll try and get down to make copies for you and mail them to you. If you only have one or two first names tho, just let me know which ones and will be more than happy to look them up and just email the info.
