Surname: Smith, Hunt, Watkins
-------------------------
I know that IN wasn't there yet; however, my family was IN very early.
I also have more than ample documentation that they came from Decatur.
Originally, I though what became Decatur Co., however, I recently came
across documentation that it actually was Decatur, IN (not yet IN or Adams
Co.).

Any ideas?

Surname: Smith
-------------------------
Are you sure you have the correct date? Indiana wasn't created until 1816,
with Adams Co. formed in 1836. It's not likely the family would have been
there in 1807, though not impossible.

Surname: Gibson
-------------------------
As far as I can determine, the Gibson surname does not appear in the WPA
death index for 1882-1920. To be absolutely sure, you should contact the
Adams Co. Health Department (contact information on the web site).

Am seeking a Smith family in Adams Co. The family had children in the Decatur
area @ 1807. Among those children were my ggrandmother and 2 of her sisters
that I am aware of. They were Sarah Smith Watkins, Fanny Smith Hunt, and
Caroline Smith Hunt. Any information on the parents of these women would
be appreciated.

Read this family and noticed one of the lines in Detroit and Mt. Clemens
Michigan.
I am in Mt. Clemens on a daily basis, if there is anything I can do for you
on this family at my end.

Hello-
I have a letter written to Mrs. Lula E. Link concerning the Civil War record of my GGreat Grandfather Thomas W. Andrews (from Adams County). The letter is from "The Department of War" and is dated March 16, 1928. The address for Mrs.Link is R. 4,
Muskegon, Michigan.
I found this letter in the papers that belonged to my Grandfather Charles C. Andrews (Grandson of Thomas W. Andrews), and am curious as to the connection to Mrs. Link (of whom i've never heard of before). Since my GGreat Grandfather and Grandfather
were both born in Adams County, I thought i'd post this query here as well as in Muskegon County, Michigan.
So, is anyone familiar with the LINK surname?
Sincerely, Chris Andrews
