ROOP: Joseph Roop (1808, PA-1876, Adams Co, IN) m. 1836, Elizabeth Kemp (1816, OH-1891, Decatur, IN)
What was Joseph's occupation? Where are Joseph and Elizabeth buried? Joseph's son, George W. Roop was a bootmaker in Decatur. Any information on Elizabeth would be "manna from Heaven"
REED: John H., Polly and Victor S. Reed were all children of John H. Reed (1800, VT-1904, ?) and Matilda Spangler (1829, OH-1909, Root Twp, IN). A cousin has said that John and Polly lived on Tenth St. in Decatur. I don't believe either married. When did they die and where are they buried?
HOWER: Henry Hower (1827, PA-1854) m. 1850, Adams Co, Mary E. Coffman (1832-1908). The couple had two daughters, Sarah "Sadie" (1851-1925) m. George W. Roop, and Rebecca (b. 1853) m. Daniel B. Roop.
After Henry died, Mary m. Bazile Hendricks. Did they all die in Adams Co? I have a good bit of information on the Hower family, but very little on the Coffmans. Would love to contact descendants of any of these folks.
SPANGLER: Several of the children of Samuel and Catherine (Neff) Spangler of OH, settled in Adams Co:
Sylvester (d. 1856, Adams Co) m. Elizabeth ___
Susan (d. 1901, Adams Co) m. Jacob Kiefer
Peter (d. betw. 1860-67, Adams Co) m. Hannah Newhorter
Jacob (d. 1921, Adams Co) m. Margaret Baker
and Matilda (d. 1909, Adams Co) m. John H. Reed.
I have lots of information on the Spangler ancestors if anyone recognizes these names.
WILLIAMS: Jesse Williams (1832, PA-1913, Adams Co) m. Alice Ruckman (1838, OH-1917, Adams Co). Jesse was a farmer in Adams Co. and had the following children: Watson E., William W., Della B. m. Benjamin Butler, Loretta A. m. William Butler, Mary Ellen m. Victor S. Reed and Jessie D. Jesse's mother was Catherine King, but I do not have his father's name. Would love to contact any of the Williams descendants.

Hello,
I am researching the Hudson surname in Decatur. Of particular interest
is the family of Joseph & Barbara Hudson(first found on 1870 census). I
have been to Decatur twice looking for records, and plan on getting back
there sometime this spring.
What I need to know is, are the tax records for 1870 & up available for
the public to see. If so, where are they kept & what are the hours?
Thanx.

Hi
I hope someone will be able to clear up a mystery for me. I have a James
William Julien, dob abt 1810 married to Martha Knott, dob abt 1807. They
were both born in Ohio. I am seeking their parents. I believe, but have
no absolute proof that James was the son of Eli Julien, grandson of Peter
Julien Jr., ggrandson of Peter Julien Sr. and gggrandson of Rene de St
Julien. The census records indicate that Eli had a son of the same age,
but there were no names. I have nothing about Martha. Any help would be
appreciated.
Next mystery is Erastus E. Johnson. Erastus was married to Phoebe Sills
dob 1838 in Champaign Co. Ohio on 9-8-1855. I have some Sills
information, but would appreciate more. I don't have any information
about Erastus. Amanda Jane Johnson dau. of Erastus and Phoebe, married
David Wilson Julian, son of James and Martha Julien. They were married
in Wells Co. Indiana and raised a family there.
Sarah Sills, sister of Phoebe, married Calvin Carney. Their son Alonzo
married Ida Mae Foreman daughter of Leonard Foreman and Julia Anne Bowen.
Another son William married Loretta Julian (relationship unknown). This
was in Wells Co., Indiana. One of my sources indicates that a Sarah
Carney married Charles Julien, son of James and Martha, but that isn't
the wife I have for Charles. I do have a Sarah listed as the wife of
Alexander Julien, brother to Charles and David. I would love to clear up
that mystery and find out who the parents of Sarah were.
Julia Anne Bowen wife of Leonard had a brother named Andrew and a sister,
name unknown. There is another possible brother named Henry. Wells Co.
Indiana.
Joseph Henry Foreman, son of Leonard and Julia Anne, married Nancy
Elizabeth Foust. Their daughter Elvira Mae married Dorse Julian, son of
David and Amanda Julian. Nancy had a brother named Abe. Wells Co.
Indiana.
I hope someone can clear up my mysteries.

Thanks to all who answered, some privately. The Alpha Cemetery at 900N/100E
was also known as the Pillars Cemetery. I've seen that reference in some of
my material.
I'm familiar with the McConnaughey society, but so far I have not found any
connection to that particular spelling.
Nola, I've been to the Alpha Cemetery at 900N/100E and read all the stones
that were family members (Singleton, McConnehey, Cline(Kline)) and also
photographed them. Thanks. My Adams Co. plat book shows the area of
900N/500E being owned by Dorothea Thieme and Martin Bleeke. The book is
dated 1994.
Anybody know if that would be the Martin Bleeke who graduated from
DHS in 1965 (my class)?

I need a little help with an Adams Co. Cemetery. I have ancestors
(Singleton and McConnehey) buried in the Alpha Cemetery, located on the SW
corner of the intersection of CR 900N and 100E in Root Twp. All of the
references in obits and other research refer to the cemetery as ALPHA. But
on the GNIS maps (http://www-nmd.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html) the
cemetery is named ALPHIA. On that same map, there is an ALPHA cemetery
located on the east side of CR 500E between CR 900N and 1000N in Union Twp.
Does anyone know if there is a cemetery at that location, what it's name is
if so, and what families are buried there? I was hoping to get up there
next weekend to check, but I'll not be able to get away due to
circumstances here. I'd like to get the information to the federal
goverment to correct the map, if possible.
Thanks.
I just realized that I don't have a link to these handy maps on the web
site, so I'll try to get that updated soon.
I have started a new query system on the Adams Co. site. It's a message
system, with immediate posting. Any queries posted there will also be
posted in the older system I was using, which also keeps track of surnames.
Take a look and give it a try.
For those of you new to the list, you can find a list of other members and
Adams Co. surnames they are researching by going to:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~inadams/adamsco.htm. If you are not on that list
and want to be, email me your information in the following format:
Your Name, Your email address
City/State where you live
SURNAMES
Please identify in the message subject that the information is for the
Adams Co. list, or I won't know whether to put it here, or on the surname
page at the web site. Thanks!

It looks like the Adams Co. list has been hit again. Unfortunately, there's
little I can do to prevent this type of spam. Just delete it and go on.
Whatever you do, DO NOT reply to the spam. The spammer will then have your
email address and you'll get even more.
The Adams Co. list is not the only list this is happening to, by the way
