Are there any descendants of Dr. William Beattie LAUGHLIN (one of the founders of Rushville, I'm told) still in the Rush County area with whom I could correspond? I am descended from Dr. Laughlin (son of James William McLaughlin and Sarah Beattie) and his wife Ruth McKINNON through their daughter "Daraxa" (or Direxia or even Dianna, depending upon which record one uses) who married Onias JACKSON. The Laughlins had a large family, something like 15 children, 10 or so of them daughters; only one of their sons, Harmony LAUGHLIN, lived to maturity. Would especially appreciate any information on Onias JACKSON -- who his parents were, etc. I know that Onias JACKSON probably settled in Rushville about the same time as his father-in-law, Dr. LAUGHLIN. I have visited Rushville several times and have recorded the information available in the courthouse and in the genealogical library, as well as the cemetery, but perhaps there is more information I haven't heard about.

DAVID/HITCHCOCK/BARTON of Rush Co, Indiana. I would like to contact anyone with information or an interest in the DAVID families who settled in the 1830s and 40s in Rush Co. The early DAVID settlers of Rush Co had the given names of Henry, Jacob, William, and John. They appear to be a portion of the DAVID family that had settled in Bourbon, Harrison, and Mason Counties of Kentucky. My own interest is in Sarah DAVID who, 23 Dec 1818, married Abel HITCHCOCK in Bourbon Co, KY and after his death she married Nicholas BARTON, 28 July 1839, in Rush Co, IN. A Henry DAVID gave the bond on her marriage to Abel HITCHCOCK. Thanks Jim Scofield

There are probate records where guardians were appointed for the five youngest children. After their father died, their mother went back to Ohio and married a widower, Moses IRELAND, and had another daughter, Matilda. Later Moses brought the family back to Rush Co., IN. and abandoned Sarah taking Matilda with him. The court then appointed a guardian for Sarah, as the widow of Elam. Would like to find any information regarding the parentschildren, marriages, deaths, where buried, etc. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
