Now I'll just have to find it and start again. Susan wrote: > I'm wondering if there are other people who are researching > ancestors from this area who came to Indiana. ....

Wheeler married Robert Anderson Howard in Wythe Co. in 1854. By 1856 they were in Richmond, Indiana. Robert was the Wayne County Surveyor for about 30 years, a job which his grandson held for another eight years. Doing research on this family, I found the link below to the catalog and newspaper index at the local library. As I remember from a couple of years ago, you can order up to 10 articles. Since I had found many more than that, I went out there and spent three hours copying the articles from microfilm - and much more time at the courthouse, etc. I even located a cousin still living there! Just a couple of days ago I found another Wheeler stopping there briefly on the way to Indianapolis. I have distant Hurst relatives all over Indiana. In addition, my Ashworth family from SW VA tended to move to Preble County, OH, which is just over the line from Richmond. http://mrl.lib.in.us/online.html Bill Hurst To Post a message, send it to: ncnr@yahoogroups.com To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: ncnr-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com.
