I am looking for a connection to my ggg-grandparents George Roddey/Roddy married to Adaline (Adeline?) Morris. She was born in North Carolina. They were married Jan 25, 1842 in Limestone Co, Ala, and they lived in Lawrence Co, Ala in 1850. Apparently they were on the move quite a bit in the 1850's, from census records showing where each child was born. They ended up in Texas around 1853-1854, and in 1860, and 1870 they are in Walker Co, Tx, and in 1880 in Falls Co, Tx. Children are: Sarah born c1842 Tn (1860 census) Philip born c1844 Ark (1860 census) or Ala (1870 census) Mary Margaret b. c1848 Ms (1850 census), Tn (1860, 1870 census)or Ala (1880 census) William (my gg-grandfather) born 1850 Ala James born c1852 Ala George born c1855 Tx Martha born 1857 Tx Henry born 1861 Tx Nannie B. born 1865 Tx Adaline indicates she was born in North Carolina, and the 1880 census does not show where her parents were born...left blank, which is no help. I am hoping they named children after relatives, which may help if anyone recognizes some of the names. Thanks for any help.

Reposting Have some questions that I hope someone can answer. According to the Carolina Summers Book on page 81 is the following 1.43 Thomas, born November 20, 1752, married Salome----. He died 1799. John McGuinn was appointed guardian to Jesse, orphan of Thomas Summers in the February term of court in 1803. The divison of the land of Thomas is found in Iredell County Deed Book L, page 588, naming his wife, Salome, children, Thomas, Jesse and Linney as heirs. The will of Salome Summers which was a verbal will, told to Nancy Bell and Rachel Summers, can be found in Iredell County Will Book 2, dated May 12, 1829. She name the same children that were named in the estate settlement of her husband. Thomas is the son of William Summers Sr., son of John and Mary Moore Summers and he was born April 22, 1726 in Prince George's Co MD and was married to Mary Wheat. William Summers Sr, has a grandson by the name of Greenberry Summers bn Jan 11, 1797. My Jesse who's wife was Rachel has a son by the name of Greenberry Summers bn 1 Dec 1794. Can anyone take the above Summers' out of the picture or can you add to what I have? Pat

Someone asked me to post this site as a favor to someone else who was looking for RING ancestors who may have migrated to Madison County, Indiana. http://www.and.lib.in.us/cemetery/cemeterysearch.asp Just enter your last name in the field to search, and it will bring up all entries. After trying it a couple of times, the best advice is to enter a "comma" after the surname and it will bring all of them up. If you enter just RING, it brings all names that end with "ring." :-) Bob Carter Greensboro, NC

Can anyone refer me to site or reference that would assist me with a Confederate Veteran who was in the Confederate Navy? Most sites list soldiers, but I zero information about the Navy. My ancestor, Jacob Taylor Groves (sometimes listed as J.D. or J.T. Groves) served in the Navy and was parolled when Wilmington NC fell in 1865, but where can I find where he enlisted?

Compendium Of Biography History Of Henry County, Indiana B.F. Bowen Typed by Lora Radiches Surnames in this biography are: Miller, Hasket, Gresham, Paul, Sweney, Brenaman, JOHN A. MILLER John A. Miller, a wealthy and influential farmer of Dudley township and a representative self-made man of the county of Henry, was born in Wayne county, Indiana, November 18, 1862, son of Jacob and Pleasant (Hasket) Miller. The Miller family in America had its origin in Pennsylvania and from that state migrated to Tennessee, thence in an early day to Wayne County, Indiana. The Haskets are North Carolinians and Mrs. Jacob Miller was twelve years old when her parents moved to Henry County. Jacob and Pleasant Miller began life’s battle poor in this world’s goods and for many years were obliged to endure the buff of adverse fortune. They lived in a humble manner, Mr. Miller doing any kind of honest labor to which he could turn his hand until possessed of means sufficient to engage in farming as a renter. After spending a number of years in this county without any material advantage, he moved to Missouri, where his wife died. The father subsequently moved to Arkansas, where he still lives, owning at the present time a small but fertile farm which he cultivates in connection with operating a Cotton gin and saw-mill. He subsequently married a Mrs. Burns, though has no children by this lady. To his first marriage were born eight children, six of whom grew to maturity, namely: John A.; William A. resides in this county; Mary A., now Mrs. L. D. Gresham, of Missouri; Susan, wife of Harrison Paul, of Henry County; Benjamin F., who lives in Arkansas, and Emma, who married John Sweney and lives in the same state. John A. Miller remained with his parents until his marriage and contributed his labors and earnings to their support. When young he determined if possible to acquire an education, accordingly he studied diligently until completing the common school course, after which he attended Spiceland Academy for the purpose of fitting himself for the profession of teaching. Leaving that institution, he engaged in educational work and during the six years ensuing taught successfully in the schools of Henry County, earning an enviable reputation as an instructor. On the 1st of January 1883, Mr. Miller and Miss Angeline Brenaman were made husband and wife, Mrs. Miller being the daughter of Moses Brenaman, a German who moved to this part of Indiana in an early day from Darke county, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Miller began housekeeping in a modest way, having but little means at their command, yet they were rich in those qualities of head and heart that gave promise of future success. During the summer seasons Mr. Miller labored as he could find work to do and in the winter devoted his time to teaching. Husbanding his earnings with scrupulous care, he was soon able to purchase a threshing outfit and with this made considerable money, meantime renting his father-in-laws farm, which he cultivated until buying land of his own. Mr. Miller early developed sound judgment and business qualities of a high order. After making his first purchase of real estate the way seemed opened to a series of continued successes, as he added to his possessions from time to time until he now owns one of the finest farms in the township of Dudley. It consists of one hundred and ninety-seven and a half acres of fertile land, the greater part in a successful state of cultivation, and contains good improvements in the way of buildings, fences, drainage, etc., the farm representing a value of at least three thousand dollars, nearly all of which was honestly earned by the well-directed efforts of the owner. Mr. Miller has achieved quite a reputation as a raiser of grain, especially clover seed, of which he sold in the winter of 1901 over six hundred and fifty dollars worth from one crop. He also pays much attention to wheat and corn and raises some livestock, but it is as an agriculturist that his greatest success has been achieved. He looks closely after the details of his place, attends with minute care to his business interests, and seldom if ever fails to realize abundant returns from the time and labor expended on his farm. Mr. Miller is secretary and treasurer of the New Lisbon Telephone Company, which was organized in 1901 and chartered under the state law with a capital stock of five thousand dollars, and takes an active interest in the management of the enterprise. In politics he is a Democrat and in religion a member of the German Baptist church. Some years ago he was made a minister in the second degree and frequently exercises the duties of his holy office with happy results. His life has been singularly pure and free from faults and his influence has always been potent for good. No man stands higher than he in public esteem and he is well entitled to the appellations of an honorable man and upright worthy citizen. Quite and unassuming in manner, he is a man of actions rather than words, belonging to that large and eminently respectable class of yeomanry who have done so much to develop the resources of Henry county and make this one of the most enterprising and prosperous sections of the commonwealth. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Miller consists of three children: Elva 0., born August 24, 1887, was graduated from the common schools in 1901 and is now pursuing the more advanced studies in the high school; Clessie A., who was born November 13, 1889, is a student in the New Lisbon schools, and Letta P., whose birth occurred on the 8th of May, 1892, also attends school at that place.

This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography are: Bales, Jackson, McMullen, Melvaney, Peacock, Cox, Fouts, Boyd, Fisch, Eagle, Bishop, Shockney, HON. ALONZO L. BALES. One of the most honored and dignified of the jurists of Indiana, Hon. Alonzo L. Bales, has proved his ability, his sense of justice and his knowledge of men and the motives which govern him for a number of years, and is still the incumbent of the circuit bench of the Twenty-fifth Judicial Circuit, and one of the leading citizens of Winchester. He was born in Randolph County, Indiana, September 25, 1864, a son of William D. and Rebecca A. (Jackson) Bales. William D. Bales was born at Dalton, Wayne County, Indiana, in 1843, and his wife was born in Randolph County, Indiana, August 23, 1846. The paternal grandparents were John and Nancy (McMullen) Bales. John Bales was born in Jefferson County, Tennessee, in 1807. In the spring of 1816 he and his father, Jacob Bales, came to Indiana and settled in Wayne County, between Economy and Hagerstown. Jacob Bales and his wife, Sarah Melvaney, were natives of North Carolina, and charter members of the Society of Friends, Quakers, in their neighborhood, in 1820. The maternal grandparents of Judge Bales were John and Susannah (Peacock) Jackson, he born in Randolph County, Indiana, in 1824. His father and mother were Samuel and Jemima (Cox) Jackson, of North Carolina. Judge Bales’ paternal grandparents were married in Henry County, Indiana, January 1, 1832, and the grandfather was a carpenter by trade. The maternal grandfather was a merchant and farmer, while William Peacock, the maternal great-grandfather, was associate judge for a number of years, so that Judge Bales had very solid forebears and upright citizens behind him from the start. His father for many years was engaged in farming in West River Township, Randolph County, Indiana, and he died in 1918, the mother having died in 1918. They belonged to that splendid type of Americans now passing. Work to them was a duty cheerfully performed without thought of distinctive reward. They reared their children to respect the laws, to attend church, and to work for their living, and did not ask of life more than the satisfaction that comes of faithful performance of what was laid upon them. Judge Bales attended the common schools, and had a short period in the Winchester High School, which preparation enabled him to secure a license to teach at the age of twenty years, and for the following ten consecutive winters he was engaged in teaching. During this decade he employed his leisure time in studying law, and in 1891 was admitted to the Indiana bar. In 1&95 he established his residence at Winchester, and began the practice of his profession. On September 1, 1892, Judge Bales was married to Miss Martha Fouts, born in Wayne County, Indiana, a daughter of Henry and Mary (Boyd) Fouts, also natives of Wayne County. Judge and Mrs. Bales became the parents of the following children: Ralph W., who resides at Indianapolis, Indiana, secretary and manager of the Indiana Dairy Products Association, William H., who is an attorney at Muncie, Indiana, and both of these sons are overseas veterans of the World war; Mary, who is now at home, has held clerical positions at Winchester, Indiana, and Cleveland, Ohio; and Ruth A., who married Prof. Max H. Fisch, of Cleveland, Ohio, professor of philosophy in the Western Reserve University. Mrs. Fisch was graduated from Butler University. Both the sons were graduated from DePauw University, and Mary was a student of DePauw University and Wayne College. Mrs. Bales died in April, 1901. In June, 1905, Judge Bales married Miss Emma Eagle, who was born at Winchester, Indiana, a daughter of Edmund and Gertrude (Bishop) Eagle, he born near Chester, Pennsylvania, and she at Cincinnati, Ohio. During the War Between the States Edmund Eagle served, with the rank of captain, in Company H, One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry. There is one son, John Eagle Bales, now a student of DePauw University. Judge Bales is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Winchester, and one of its trustees. Since 1904 he has been the teacher of the Men’s Bible Class, and is otherwise active in church work. Very active in politics, Judge Bales was early called upon to accept public office, and from 1898 to 1900 was prosecuting attorney of Randolph County. When he completed his term in office he formed a partnership with John W. Macy and James P. Goodrich, but two years later Mr. Macy became circuit judge, and Alonzo Nichols took his place in the firm, which became Nichols, Goodrich & Bales, and this association continued until 1918, when Mr. Nichols was elected to the appellate bench, and Mr. Goodrich, governor of Indiana. In 1920 Judge Bales was elected judge of the Twenty-fifth Judicial District and reelected in 1926. One of the leading Re publicans, he served as precinct and county committeeman. His fraternal affiliations are with the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, the Knights of Pythias and the Improved Order of Red Men. Several years ago he served for a year as president of the Winchester Kiwanis Club, and for many years he has been a member of the Indiana State Bar Association. In 1914 Judge Bales was nominated for circuit judge, but was defeated by Judge Thomas Shockney, an intimate friend. The hardships and necessary struggles of his early days developed in Judge Bales those qualities of mind and character so essential to advancement in his profession. His life has been one strictly of work. His fidelity to every trust reposed in him, together with his natural ability and intelligence, have steadily advanced him, and made of him one with a statewide character.
