I found the same two marriages for Elizabeth Bales as Karen. I also found a marriage for
a Mary Elizabeth Bales to John D. Rhynard in Brown co. IN 1 Jul 1891. Not sure if this is
the same Elizabeth Bales.
This may be parents of Elizabeth. I found in Monroe Co. IN Salt Creek Twp. PO Bloomington
the family of Perry and Catharine Bales. Perry b. IN, Catharine b. KY. All children were
born in Indiana. They were there in 1850 and 1860. In 1870 they were in Edgar Co. IL,
Young America Twp. (The Elizabeth in this family was born abt. 1848, so may not be the
same person. I thought it was worth mentioning since Elizabeth named her son Perry.)
I found a marriage in my Indiana Marriage Index for Miranda Brownfield to Alexander Young
8 Dec 1886 in Monroe Co. IN. She was listed as daughter of John Brownfield and Elizabeth
Bales. Her birth date was 8 Dec 1877. It is possible that Elizabeth was considered her
mother if her birth mother had died.
I found a marriage in my IN Marriage Index for Eliza Bales and Silas Smith 16 Sept 1856 in
Monroe Co. IN. There was also one for Eliza Bales and Jacob Thacker 6 Dec. 1901 in Monroe
Co. IN. (Not sure if these are Elizabeth.)
I also found a marriage in my IN Marriage Index for Perry Brownfield to Mary A. Scroghon
30 Jul 1906. (These indexes have a lot of misspellings.) This may be your Perry.
I found 3 births to Perry Brownfield and Mary Scrogham. (Name spelled 3 different ways.
All in Monroe Co. IN.
Herbert b. 22 Sep 1909
Dorothy b. 30 Oct 1911
