I am new to these lists and to research in Indiana in general so would like
any help I can get in searching for my See and Lennon/Lenon families in Cass
and Carroll Counties ca 1840-1870s.
I do have a Carroll Co marriage certificate 13 October 1851, for David
See, and Mary Lucy Lenon, and marriage date as 21 Oct 1851. I do not have
any information on the Lennon family though I think Mary's parents may have
been Daniel or David Lennon and Mary Shanks. Any information on the
extended Lennon family will be appreciated as I know NOTHING about them or
even where to begin to look.
David See is the son of David See, Sr. of Deer Creek Twp., Cass Co. I have
seen David See, Jr.'s Civil War records at the Natl Archives. I have quite
a bit of information on David's ancestors prior to coming to IN in VA and
WV.
Shortly after their marriage, David and Mary Lucy See, traveled cross
country to join in the California gold rush but returned to Cass Co at least
by 1856 when their 2nd son was born. Some time in the mid 1870s they moved
to Benton Co, IA.
Can anyone recommend any books on early county histories, historical
societies or genealogical societies that might have information on these
families? I'm happy to share whatever info I have.
Thanks,
