Pam,
Our paper this morning gave a brief history of the Leonid meteor
shower, and there was one in 1833.
"The 1833 Leonid shower caused bridge workers in France to put down their
tools and gather their families for last goodbyes. The light was so
intense that it spooked horses pulling carriages in the English
countryside. The flashes awoke people in the U.S. in panic, convinced
the sky was on fire. Others thought the stars were falling in a
celestial snowstorm...The forerunners of the Seventh Day Adventists
thought this was the end of the world...The 1833 storm ushered in modern
meteor science..."
It must have been a very major happening, and though the date is off from
your source, sounds like it could be what they saw.

Indiana researchers,
In some information I have about my HENDERSON family, a "shower of stars"
was seen (1834) while they were traveling from Montgomery Co., KY to
Tippecanoe Co., IN. It occurred near Jamestown, (Hendricks Co.?) IN. Has
anyone heard of this before?
Pam
Hi, Pam!
We're supposed to have a meteor shower visible in our night
sky Tuesday and Wednesday evenings (if it isn't raining). Their
1834 "shower of stars" could be that simple.

See below for what is currently on my database. I hope to be adding more

Hi June,
What can you tell me about your Smalls?
I am also interested in tracking the Small surname. Mine goes back from,
John Small b. 1812 m.1830 Nancy Kilgore b. 1807. They lived in Davis
Co, IA in 1860's and maybe before that. Suspect they may have ome from
Clinton CO, IN area.
Thanks.

I am researching the Fry, Shaffer, Smelcer and Thompson (Samuel B. and
Sarah) families who resided in Clinton Co. in the mid-1800s, some of whose
descendants may have remained there longer than that.

To Dave,
I forgot, but I have some Power family information. Seems the Circle/Scircles
had a few relationships. Can tell you about Samuel Power and line.

Dee,
I don't have much on the Holmes side of the family, except that my great g-
ma's maiden name was Holmes. She married a Whitaker. (which was my g-ma's
maiden name on my fathers side). My g-ma married Western Rector. My
grandmother's first name was Bertha. Her and Western had five children, Mary
Rector Friend, Flavia Rector Stafford Butcher, Edward Rector, Chester Rector,
and Donald Rector.
Hope this is some help to you, sorry I don't have more information.
Shannon
Shannon,
Please contact me about your HOLMES line. I've tried to send you a bunch of
info via private email, but AOL didn't want to "deliver de letter" <G>.
Hopefully I'll be able to send it to you by hitting my reply button so I
won't have to burden the list with info not dealing directly with Clinton
County.
