Surname: TEEPLE, ACKER, MOESCHBERGER, NEUENSCHWANDER, BRYAN, WATSON, STOUT,
BEARS
-------------------------
My great-grandmother Laura ACKER Teeple married a Daniel WEISHAUPT on 25
Dec 1870. The marriage took place in Adams County. In the 1880 census,
Daniel and Laura were living in Murray, Wells County, IN. According to
the census, Daniel was born in PA as were both his parents. I do know that
Daniel had been married previously (he was 48 when he married Laura) and
had grown children. I'm not sure if this will help, but am willing to give
you what I have.

Surname: TURNER
-------------------------
Does the one other TURNER burial at Mt Hope/Willard Cemetery belong to
this family also? It is:
Row 4: (first surviving stone in the row, near road)
TURNER, Norah, dau of C.I.N. & N. Turner, d. Jan 1, 1850, age 7 da.
Row 5:John TURNER, d.1847, is buried the first surviving stone near the
road in row five, so they were right together.
The 1850 census shows the widow TURNER and children living very near the
RODGERS family, who owned the land the cemetery was taken from. These are
among the early burials there, others involved Rodgers family children,
beginning 1835 and Berlin family, both of whom owned the land at the time
of deaths of their children.

Surname: Selby

Hi!
There is not much information on the Selby family in the 1979 History of
Adams county, Indiana. Here is what is there:
Page 221, under Nathan Roe family. Pearl Dewey Roe, daughter of Nathan
and Catherine (Bickel) Roe, was born in 1898, and married Wayne Selby.
Page 459, under Peter Helmrich. In 1803 Peter and his wife purchased fifty-five
acres of ground in Kirkland Twp. from Wesley Selby and his wife.
On page310 of the 2nd volume, published in 1989, the following is found
under J. Arthur Williams: He moved with his family to Belmont County,
Ohio [from Fauquier Co., VA) in the late 1820's, and married Sarah B. Selby,
the daughter of John W. and Elizabeth Lyons Selby.
There are indexes to the other histories of Adams county, bound in the
reprint of the 1914
History of Adams and Wells Counties, but I dont have one here. (Im retired
in south Texas.) Maybe someone with access to the Decatur Library will
help you! Eileen Davis Dawson, who lives on First Street in Decatur, did
most of the Roe research, and may have something else to help you. Also,
I wonder if the Selbys traveled with the Williams family from Fauquier
Co., VA?
Sincerely,
Dick D. Heller, Jr.

Searching for James Hall Selby b. July 14, 1870. Until now we thought he
was born in Adams Co, Ill. and just found info stating he was born in Indiana
(assuming it is Adams Co.). He went to Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory
in 1888, and died in Garvin Co, Okla. (former Chickasaw Nation) in 1962.
His wife was Elizabeth Ann (Bettie) Pack. Any info on Selby family would
be greatly appreciated.
Thank You, Jaymee Selby

Sketch of James & Elizabeth Trueblood
The old people who knew James Trueblood used to tell that James was a very
small piece of humanity when he was an infant. Elizabeths father became
his guardian, and thus the two children were raised mostly together, and
as soon as they grew up, became engaged to marry and the wedding was consummated
when Elizabeth was in her 17th year and James in his 21st year. James received
as good an education as the schools in that country could give him and
in early life became a teacher of others. Elizabeth had only spent three
months of her life at school, but made a thorough businesswoman since she
came to the Northwestern Territory. Jamess father 1eft him some property
in slaves, then with the help of his guardian, Joshua Trueblood, and his
mother, he made them free and paid their way to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
In order to get away from what they believed to be the evils of slavery.
The families of James Trueblood, Nathan Trueblood, Mathew Coffin, Jehosaphat
Morris, and James Trueblood, Jr. came to Washington County, Indiana territory.
A Negro came along with them, who had been the property of Nathan Trueblood.
This Negro was named John Cowan, and he drove one of the eight wagons that
came along as this little band turned their backs upon Elizabeth City and
turned their faces toward Indiana Territory.........
They both belonged to Quakers or Friends..........
James Trueblood purchased a piece of land of William Lindley, a brother
of Samuel Lindley, and an uncle of William Lindley of later years. That
land was where a horse mill was erected near the Friends or Quaker meetinghouse,
and it was here that James Trueblood got his milling done. The deed to
the farm was written by David Fouts, Justice of the Peace, on the 10th
day of August 1815, and was recorded by Basil Prather, clerk and recorder.
The county at this time had no courthouse, and has not improved ver particularly
in that respect at present. The persons assisting James Trueblood in erecting
his cabin were Elisha Denny, Samuel Denny, father of Joel Denny, Levi Thompson,
father of James L Thompson, Lewis Moody, Joshua Trueblood, Nathan Trueblood
father of Joseph Matthew Hobbs, Jehosaphat Morris, father of Nathan, and
others .
Joshua and Mi1es Tatlock sawed the weatherboarding, joists and sheetings
for the Trueblood house with a whipsaw. Nicholas Hibbard and Joseph Young
were witnesses to the deed of the land. When James came to this county
his recollection is that John Owens and his brother had the only store
in Salem, and the next was Gen. John DePauw and Lieut. Gov. Christopher
Harrison. Then came Jonathan Lyon, the father of Dawson Lyon. The first
newspaper was the Tocsin, published by Patrick and Booth, and established
about the time Newton Booth, the present Senator from California was born.
James Trueblood and Bebe Booth were warm friends, and both are still alive.........
He says that after he came to Indiana he used nothing that came through
slave labor, using no sugar but home made and his wearing apparel was generally
home made. About the year1840, a stranger on horseback with a pair of saddlebags
slung behind him was traveling along on one of the roads leading to Salem;
he met a young man and inquired if James Trueblood lived in the neighborhood.
As there were three of them the young man asked which one he meant. The
peddler replied it was Gentleman James from North Carolina. That peddler
was Peter Ryan, an old and respected citizen of this county at the time
of his death a few years ago, who amassed considerable wealth.

Sketch Of James and Elizabeth Trueblood
Page 2
James Trueblood had one brother and two sisters. His brother was named
Nathan and he died in his 19th year. His sister Mary married a man named
Overman, and died at the age of ninety. Rebecca, the other sister married
a man named Morris, and. is now living, aged ninety-three years. Hon. Thomas
J Henley formerly a member of Congress from this district was a cousin
of the mother of Mrs. Trueblood.
While James was a non-voting man on account of slavery, men of both parties
tried to obtain his vote on their side. One. Sunday John I. Morrison and
Catherine his wife went to visit the family. Mr. Morrison told her husband
that he must not talk politics. Morrison was at the time a candidate for
some office, yet he could not induce Trueblood to vote at all at that election
for anyone. Trueblood says that Asher Cook trod the mud to make the brick
to build the first Court House in Salem. Our readers may not know that
in early days the mortar for brick was tramped by men and oxen. Cook was
a North Carolinian, and has been dead many years. That Court House was
built up on pillars with an opening underneath for hitching horses.

Robert Loudon was one of the first teachers in the friends School, then
came Levi, and Lewis Woody (printed Moody here) Alexander and Simeon Clayton,
John and James Trueblood and others.
Catherine, a daughter, married Hatcheson Sturgeon, a son of David Sturgeon,
of whom we gave a pretty good history some time ago. Mary E married Davis
Johnson, near Terre Haute, Indiana, a prominent citizen there. John H.
is the oldest of the children and aged 64, and now resides in Canton. Milton
resides in the township. Martha married Francis Overman, and he is long
since dead and Martha now resides in Kansas. Hicks resides in this township.
Warner M died some years ago at Hitchcocks Station, in this county. Rebecca
married Hiram Thompson and resides in this county. Susannah, the youngest
daughter, resides at home taking care of her aged parents.
Elizabeths father was a merchant of Elizabeth City, North Carolina and
sent out vessels to trade with the West India Islands. Joshua wrote some
letters to his future wife when he was on one of these far off Islands.
Hello List,
I am seeking the parents and siblings of GEORGE W. BURNETT,
Birthplace, Indiana.
I have no idea the county. That was all I could find on census, death
certificate, etc.
On a tape, made when she was very old, his wife Mary told this story.
George's mother was killed in an accident or died suddenly, when he was an
infant. There were other children, don't know ages or how many. George was
adopted by Shoemaker/Shumaker/Shoebaker??? He lived with them until the
courthouse burned. It destroyed the adoption records. I don't know his age at
the time this occurred. He must have been fairly young, because he was in
Kansas by April 14, 1900. He married Mary M. Bell on that day.
He said he couldn't have left if the records were still available for his
adoption. Reason unknown. When he left Indiana, he took back his birth name
Burnett, and continued to use it until his death.
This is a brick wall. I would really appreciate any help or advise you could
provide.
If you have any information, you may Email me at JANETSQUAW(a)aol.com
Thank you in advance for your help.
Respectfully yours,
Jan
