HI, I saw it on one of the censuses but I could hardly read it and had to use a magnifying
to read it. Then on one of my searches for family trees on ancestry I saw it listed as
Mary Olive "Ollie" Dearduff Bennington. Okay, I thought it must have been Olive
but I went back with the magnifying glass just now into the 1880 census and saw that it
was Eveline age 24. Mary would have been 26. It was in Licking, Blackford, Indiana.
I found out that the Indiana State Library has an electronic database of all the Indiana
cemeteries. I tried to access it through our Colorado Library but the site was down. You
might want to find out through your local library about it. I searched tons of data bases
on line tonight for cemeteries in Indiana. Many weren't complete and I didn't find
a George. I looked especially in Center, Delaware, Indiana where I last found Mary and
Lewis Bennington. I also found a man who owns a book about early VA land records and wills
and all kinds of such things from 1600 on so I asked him to do some research for us about
Jacob and Peter living in Bedford. I would like to know if Peter still had landrecords or
paid taxes in 1881!
Also if there was a Jacob born there about that time.
