I had recently read line by line Posey County, Indiana Deeds and Probate Order Books. Here are my findings regarding Severs. I got this info through the Family History Center. Deed book V. E 1826-1832 page 5 Lorenza D. and Francis A. Severs to Otis Hinkley SE 1/4 of SEc. 25 Twp 6 S Range 14 W. Sept. 1826 Witnesses, Ebenezer Phillip, William A.L. Green, Aaron Burlison.

Jones PROBATE RECORDS Vol. C&D page 106 term jan 1831 James Seavers Adm of James McClaren dec'd.

Jacob Severs and Henry Stripe for David Greathouse Dec'd page 256 Term Feb. 1824 James Sever is Adm. for James McClaren dec'd and bonded to Elias Altizer and Joseph Spalding I don't know if this James Severs is the same person as my James Severs in Washington Co., IL. James of IL was already in IL at the time of Administration of James McClaren. What is the likelyhood of him going back and forth between Posey Co., IN and Washington Co., IL? I hope this info helps someone. Kathy
