Hi Ellen,
Don't think I have written you before, but excuse me if I have. I have been
searching for information on the Gardners in Clay Co., Vigo Co., IN. My
mother-in-law was born in Terre Haute, May 27, 1922. Her name was Wilma
Grace Fredericks. Her parents were Freddy Fredericks and Laura Frances
Gardner Fredericks who were married there also on May 14, 1921. I believe
Laura also had a son born Delbert Frances Gardner, apparently before she was
married. He was placed in an orphanage (or so we are told) and later was
removed to work on the farm of people by the name of Burgess or something
like that, and later took the name Cole for his last. His social security
application names Richard T (or R) Cole as his father, mother's name is
missing. Anyway, my m-i-l's mother was born in Clay Co. Dec 9, 1896. Her
parents were said to be Edd Gardner, born in Indiana, (I think April 1874 if
this is him) and Catherine (Katie) Grace Fry Gardner. She later married
William Sherman Cass, Jr. of Terre Haute. Anyway, again, do you have any
connection or information on any of these people? I have run into so many
brick walls here. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello from Arizona
Everyone, thank you very much for your responses on William Travis of
Clay Co. I'm relatively new at this, but am discovering that half the
fun is finding out something about the people.
Just in case anyone out there is looking, here are the connections I am
looking for or have some info (limited) on. If anyone wants any more
info, or sees a connection, let me know.
