I hope that everyone isn't as confused as I am...
In doing my research, I have noticed a trend, as I am sure that you have.
Migration from Ky to Owen Co.,Indiana, usually was from Nelson, Shelby, or
Spencer Counties. With Shelby and Spencer being thru Nelson, apparently due
to County line changes...
If there was further migration, it seemed to nearly always be to Parke Co.,
In., to Vermillion Co., In., to Vermillion Co., Il, to Douglas Co., Il, to
Edgar Co., Il, to Hancock Co., Il., and then to Keokuk or Washington Co.,
Ia.
Can anyone explain this? Was it due to various land rushes, re;igious
followings, or what?
If there was a stop between Ky and Owen Co., In., can anyone tell me what
county would be the most likely to have been "Visited"?
Have I confused you? Or, am I only "tilting at windmills"?
Thanks,
Dick Carter
