There is a book titled "Counties of Clay and Owen, Indiana", published in
1884" edited by Charles Blanchard which has some mini-biographies in it as well as
historical information about these counties. You can see a copy on Google books
http://books.google.com/books?id=1VLWAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&... of
clay and owen
indiana&hl=en&sa=X&ei=GFysT5_bGMGhiQLdlKjLAg&ved=0CDoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=counties
of clay and owen indiana&f=false
If that doesn't work go to
google.com and click on books then put "Counties of
Clay and Owen Indiana" in the search box. I just brought it up. It is searchable. It
probably doesn't have everybody in it, but it has information on the early settlers.
I've read that they have reprinted this valuable book now. It has histories of the
townships and some of the people. One of my distant relatives was a contributor to this
book. Hope this helps.
