Thought I would share this with you ; Nancy really got lucky here with her LEVI COFFIN . There are 24 pages of stories on LEVI with a picture of his house . Stories of negros he helped in the underground railroad , much personal info on him . Much info about the Friends meetings . I would be thrilled to get this on an ancestor ! This is why it is nice to share with the list if someone is lucky enough to get their hands on an old book . One lady on Iowa list spent many hours typing stories from her book to e-mail for the list - I think it was Cass county , Iowa . A few people will do things like this when they have time . Old books can be so expensive as is buying cemetery books from Gene Society's . I have been looking for a complete list cemetery books for Franklin County , Indiana . I have a long way to go in reading so will see what turns up . :) BTW - if anyone has cemetery books for Franklin county would you please do a look for DAVID MARMON - MOORMAN died 8-11-1840 I personally think he died in Franklin County but he could be in any of these Counties . I have checked ' on line ' to see if there is an old newspaper available for that year & month for Franklin County , Indiana -- but havent found one yet . I know where his wife -- ELIZABETH is buried but not DAVID . I checked the American Quaker Records on CD but that was for N. Carolina . If anyone has the QUAKER records for Indiana at home would you mind checking for DAVID MOORMAN { father was BENJAMIN } thanks much sheri
Sheri, remind me Tuesday if you don't get a reply. We have the Indiana Quaker books at the Morgan Co., In. Library where I work. I will check for you. I can get my email there but I cannot pull this one up there. I will need a reminder.
