Reba, I noticed your interest in the BLUE family and it brought to mind the tombstone inscriptions I have been transcribing for the Pretty Prairie Cemetery in Battle Ground, Tippecanoe Co., Indiana. Among them was a Daniel Blue from Hampshire Co., Va., as well as a few others. These are probably members of James W. Blue's family. Hope you find them helpful. If you would like more information on this family, a good place to write is the Tippecanoe Co. historical library. They have WPA indexes, marriage records beginning in 1826, court books, wills and probate files, family files, census records, military, cemetery, etc. You can write them at: TIPCOA, 1001 South Street, Lafayette, IN 47901 or e-mail them at: [email protected] Good luck!
