Lamberson's. I am looking for several, Thoroughgood Lamberson lived near Bentonville, he had five children, all born in Bracken County Kentucky, My Great-Great Grandfather Thomas was his youngest. I am trying to locate the names on Thoroughgood's forty-one grandchildren. Levi was a brother to Thoroughgood, he came to Indiana around 1835, purchased a small farm in Posey Township, and then sent for his brother and his family to come from Kentucky. Opal Lamberson resently sold the farm and has moved to a retirement center in Richmond. Some of the Lambersons are buried in Bentonville Cemetary, and a few are buried in Cole Cemetary. Any information about the Lamberson's would be greatly appreciated.

My g-grandfather Willard H. GLIDEWELL moved to Fayette co. in 1890. He was principal of the East Connersville schools 1890-1892, then a bookkeeper for Taylor & Enos a large manufacturing concern, after 1893 he became secretary of the firm. In 1894 he became the Editor of the Connersville Examiner. In 1895 he was elected superintendant of schools of Fayette co. for two years. What did Taylor & Enos manufacture? What information could I obtain from the county or school districts? Where should I write? Does the Connersville Examiner still exist? and would newspapers from 1994 be on microfilm anywhere?
