I am searching for a Burch (Birch) Reed. ON the 1820 Census he was in Sullivan County. By the time he passed away in 1849 he was living in Vermillion County. According to his will he had a wife called Sebre (?) or Sebrey. He also mentioned a grandson William Sanders Reed. The will was made in August of 1844. It was proved 10 October 1849. I am trying to find out if he maybe related to my Jacob Reed in Rush County, Indiana. Jacob's grand daughter Elizabeth named her oldest son Burch Clark. I am trying to see if they could be tied in. Jacob was born in South Carolina. Can anyone please help me?! Many thanks. Stacy

Hi, I'm trying to search for my Elizabeth Scranton b. 1839/40 in IN from her 1880 Obit in SF, CA. I have not had very good luck so far finding her because of so many different States listed for birth place, can't get death record because of SF Quake/Fire 1906 which also took along most of her childrenšs records. From what I have I'm searching IN right now. I have not found an Elizabeth Scranton b. 1839/40 yet in IN, but I did find an Elizabeth b. 1836 to Almond and Rachel Scranton who were married in Dearborn Co. 1832. (they have another daughter Melyssa Scranton also) I would like to check this out just in case. I know this man worked as a Tailor in Rising Sun, this was listed in a book. My Elizabeth Scranton goes on to marry John L. McLaughlin b. 1832-37 in Ireland came over as a baby. (Don't know parents) John & Elizabeth marry around 1855-60. They have there first girl in MO 1860/61- Mary Matilda and then Emma 1863. They then all go to SF, CA by 1868 where they live until they die. Elizabeth does have several more children and dies, two months after giving birth April 1880. I can't find her buried yet in SF. I am looking for any info on the SCRANTON Families somebody must know these families. Any info is helpful!! Please E-mail to Mankcat.aol for now Thanks PS- I would like any proof that this Elizabeth is either her or not her, marriage or if this girl is buried with her parents where?

I am trying to find some information on my husbands greatgrand-father who moved to Indiana from Bowling Green, Kentucky during the time around the cival war. They owned a merchantile store in Bowling Green, and were apparently well off financially. They were burned out by the Morgan Raiders, who were apparently cousins. They left there, and went to Indiana, where at least one of their ten children was born. The fathers name was William J. Morgan married to an Elizabeth??? They had 10 children, 5 boys, 5 girls. We know at least James M. Morgan was born in Indiana. I am sorry but I do not know where. He was born in 1870. His father's name was William J. Morgan. Some of the other children that we know the names of are; Ben John Anna and a twin sister who we do not know name of Dan James Jane Mary It is thought that James was the youngest of the 10 children. It is also thought that there is Indian blood in them. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
