Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Anyone on this list who is available, for hire, to assist in Clinton CO Indiana research? Please contact me directly at
johnston(a)terracom.net and I will give you the details.

and took everything with it - my email, address book, everything! And for
some strange reason, I can't get my backup disks to load onto the computer.
The files are there, but the computer won't load them! So I need to send
this out. There was a very kind woman who was researching Cordelia/Catillo
KNICKERBOCKER (in connection to her family) and had promised to send me any
info she got; she also gave me someone's email address to contact. I also
promised to share anything I had with her. But now, her address is gone! I
don't have any info yet, but if I ever get any, I'd like to be able to share
it with her! So if you are out there, please email me! And next time, I'm
writing everything down on paper, so I won't get burned again! Sorry to
take up your time!

I have copies of pages 374-377 of the "History of Clinton County, IN, 1886"
which covers the 3 months and 3 years military service of Company C, 10th
Regiment of Volunteers during the Civil War. It lists names of all the
participants for the 3 months service and just those of the officers for the
3 years service.
I will gladly do lookups for the names of your ancestors.

What is it? A compilation of Do's and Don't's for those of us who use
mailing lists and want to use them more effectively for the benefit of all.
Following these rules is just about guaranteed to get your message out to
the people you want to reach, and to do it with a minimum of fuss, time and
inconvenience to others. The listing is a joint effort of several expert
genealogists who have learned the hard way what works and what is most
likely to get results and not
raise the hackles of fellow listees.
Mailing List Rules for All Mailing Lists
DO - read your e-mail before sending it. If it doesn't make any sense to you
it won't make any sense to anyone else.
DON'T - send derogatory comments about others on the list. This is called
'flaming', is rude and disruptive, and can get you kicked off of some lists
for such bad behavior.
DO - remember that the only impression you leave is via your e-mail, so if
you are rude or derogatory in your e-mail, that is the impression others get
of you.
DO - read and SAVE the software-generated welcome message you get when
joining a mailing list. It has important information, such as how to
unsubscribe. Too often people don't read this information and end up sending
e-mail after e-mail complaining about not being taken off a mailing list. If
you unsubscribe properly, you will be unsubscribed automatically with no
fuss.
DON'T - send attachments over a mailing list. This forces (and can
overburden) a listserver to copy that attachment (no matter how large it is)
to -every- member of the list. A server can crash attempting to comply with
such a request. And all list members may not be able to read, use, or WANT
some attachments. The attachment may require special software to view. A
large, unwanted attachment can be too large for someone's personal machine
and foul their e-mail que at their server when their machine will not
download it. Save attachments like word processor and picture files for
PRIVATE e-mail when you know in advance the person wants the attachment and
will be able to use it.
DON'T - reply over the mailing list to someone if the information you are
passing back is not of general interest to most members of the mailing list.
In other words, don't carry on conversations with other parties that is of
no interest to everyone else.
DON'T - put personal information in e-mail. Any personal information about
yourself or others can be used by the unscrupulous to steal from you or
others. Your own identity is precious. Safeguard others' identities, too.
DON'T - put any Social Security numbers in your email. These numbers for
anyone, either living or dead, can be misused the same as personal
information can. This rule should also apply to web pages.
DON'T - reply back to a query and send back the other person's whole e-mail
message. Cut out the portions that are not pertinent to your reply, as you
can. This will save disk space, bandwidth, and message up/download time. An
experienced mailing list user can often be identified by how well (s)he
edits their replies to include only the portions of another's message
required to explain their comments.
DON'T - reply to a message with a "me, too", implying you also agree with
something. NEVER quote entire messages and add "me, too". If you want to
indicate "I would be interested in that information also", reply to the
message privately.
DO - read all of your queued e-mail before responding to someone's e-mail.
Someone else may have already responded just as you want to. This is
especially important if you are rarely able to read your e-mail in a timely
manner. Don't punish others with your answer until you are sure no one else
responded.
DON'T - type your entire message in capital letters. This is considered to
be shouting and rude.
DON'T - send test messages when you think the list may be down. It probably
isn't. And refrain from answering such test messages unless you reply
privately.
DON'T - point out other individuals' spelling errors and/or typos. Some
people may not be able to spell or type as well as you do, and we -all- make
mistakes occasionally.
DO - keep the subject lines succinct and pertinent. That is, do not compose
a subject line so long that it does not display in your mailer's index.
Do not endlessly repeat a subject from reply to reply after the actual
subject of a message thread changes. Do regularly -change- as necessary the
subject lines to reflect what YOUR message is about. Avoid subject lines
like "Looking for information about my grandfather Andrew Jackson GROVE". In
a mailer's index you will never see the pertinent part of that subject line.
All will know you are "looking for ..." so just use "Andrew Jackson GROVE"
as your subject. Never begin your message in the subject line and expect
others to understand your message (Subj: 'Trying to find details on the
family of Meriwether'; Message body: 'LEWIS and the families of other...'
And, finally, avoid listing surnames in the subject line that are never
repeated in the body of the message. Good subject lines make for much better
genealogy mailing list messages!
Mailing List Rules Specifically Pointed To Genealogical Lists
DON'T - send your lookup requests to multiple lists simultaneously. This is
called cross-posting and over-uses server resources, wastes message archive
space, and results in a number of people doing the -same- lookup for you.
DO - give complete locale information: include city, county, state, and
country (when known) in addition to a date, such as: "Married in abt 1823,
Miami Co., OH". If unknown, an estimate will help, such as, "second half of
the 19th century" -or- "probably in Georgia or Alabama"
DO - include some information about what you have already searched.
DO - put all surnames in capital letters for more easily scanning messages
and to distinguish surnames from other words (when there is a question).

Looking for the parents/siblings of William Perry HOBSON who was born in
Marion County, IN on 20 July 1841, according to the family bible. He lived
in Clinton County from about 1853 until he left in 1861 to fight in the
Civil War for the 3 Month sign up period. He then married Mary Jane CHASTAIN
in Aug 1862 in Burget's Corner, Clinton County, and reenlisted 2 days later.
He was mustered out in June of 1865. Apparently, his wife lived in the
Zionsville, Boone County area during the time he was gone as his pension
papers gives her mailing address in 1865 as a post office in Zionsville. Per
his pension application, they were living on a farm in Scircelville, Clinton
Co. in Sept 1878. He was the first chartered Commander of the Joe Hooker
Post, No. 97, G. A. R. on 28 Aug 1882. William and his family left IN and
moved to Pratt, KS in 1884.

Hi Everyone!
Last week I got into a conversation on the Virginia Roots list
about the circuit-riding preacher, Lorenzo Dow. Lots of us have a Lorenzo
Dow 'Somebody' in our data. Since I have a lot of information about the
'original' Lorenzo Dow, they asked if I would post a web page about him. He
was born in 1777 in Coventry, CT.
Well, I ran home from work and put up the Lorenzo Dow page after
supper! I hope you find it interesting. He was something! I can just see
him jumping out of a church window onto a horse and riding away shouting
that he would be back one year from the day! He did, too!
The site is: http://www.acun.com/dentons The link to the article
about Lorenzo Dow is about half way down the first page.
I hope you enjoy the stories!
Blessings!

Hello,
I have several families in Clinton County. Scircle, Wallace, Bogan, Ryan,
Botts, Gregg, Kutz, Thurman, Jacobs, Orr, Baker, Owens, are just a few of the
surnames that I have in my database. Several of my cousins have more
information on the Scircles, Greggs, Thurmans, Ryans (Bruce Ryan has done an
amazing amount of work on the Clinton County and White County Ryans) and just
starting to get information on the Bakers and Jacobs.
Check out the Scircle Family Genealogy Pages at
http://www.geocities.com/~gscircle
My great Grandfather George Adam Scircle founded Scircleville in eastern
Clinton County. I am in the process of adding pictures and text of my trip
last July to Clinton and Montgomery Counties.
Glad someone is taking over the Clinton County site.
Gregg Scircle
Connie and All,
I'm a bit behind in announcing Connie as your new county coordinator. She is
full of energy and enthusiasm for Clinton County so please give her a big
Welcome!
Also, if you have sent me a message privately please re-send that message to
Connie. I will forward all of your messages to Connie, but I don't want to
miss anyone. I apologize for the delay, but due to my mother's accident in
August and my son's wedding (yesterday) I didn't have the time to do
everything that I should.
Thanks to all for your patience. Connie, if you need anything just let me
know. I'm here.......

An ancestor of mine worked for the Homily Mills for several years (1870
to 1910 time frame). Does anyone know if this mill was in Clinton County.
I have already checked Tippecanoe County with no luck. I would like
to learn the location and type of business. Thank you.
