Hi Bart,
I have a picture that I don't know if you would be interested in or not. It is of Joseph Duncan and he served in the 49th Indiana, Company G. I also have some things that belonged to my 3rd great grandfather, John Alexander Ritter who was a surgeon and served with Joseph Duncan. I have a pass that he used to get through the lines so he could treat the wounded. I also have a letter written by my 2nd great grandmother's brother, Arthur Pickthall, to Gov. Morton. Please let me know if you would like copies of anything that I might have.
Thanks,
Diana

Mr. Wratten,
I am a decendant of Thomas Wratten (1795-1855), married to Mary (b1800), children William, John, Thomas Jr., Samuel, Susan, Elizabeth, James Riley, Maryanne, Isabelle and Malinda. Are your Wrattens the same?
My WONDERFUL cousin and I traveled today to the burial site of the 6 Wratten family members that were murdered and took pictures and rubbings. My cousin has worked on the geneology for 40 years and shared LOTS of info with me today. She's a natural talker and finds out loads of info that way(Ha), while I'm rather reserved. What a great Day!
I am sorry it took so long to reply. I got lost for a while. I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Your Sister in Christ,
Sharon Higbee

I'm just beginning to dig into this line and I've found the surname spelled several different ways. In the Indiana Marriage database, it's spelled NABAR and she's identified as Jacobina REICHERT (her step-father's surname).
I found her in the 1920 census, at age 93, living with a daughter. Surname then spelled NEIGHBOR.
In any event, I'm about 90% sure this is the individual I'm looking for - would love to find a death record to confirm, though!

Surnames in this biography are: Edwards, Ford, Farthing, Snyder, Quigley, Quinn,
MERRLLL JENNINGS EDWARDS, whom all his thousands of friends know as “Jack” Edwards, is the picturesque and youthful mayor of the City of Marion. To that office he was elected when twenty-eight years of age, being the youngest mayor in the State of Indiana. The career of Mayor Edwards illustrates the phenomenal energy and vitality of the man, qualities that have carried him over a succession of hurdles in the race of life. From childhood he fought his way, fought for education, fought for success in business, fought for community causes and for political distinction, and even in a more literal sense was a fighter, earning no mean measure of distinction in the prize ring for several years. He was born in Marion March 30, 1901. His father, Volley Berthol Edwards, was born at Dunkirk, Indiana, in 1877, and followed the trade of glass blower. He was a son of William Edwards, who was born in Davies County, Indiana, and was a fruit grower an!
d gardener. William Edwards, died at Chicago Heights at the age of seventy-five. He married Mary Ford, a native of Ohio, who now resides at Indianapolis. The mother of Mayor Edwards was Mary Eliza Farthing, born in Jennings County, Indiana, daughter of William Logan Farthing, who was born in Jennings County in 1856 and is now, at the age of seventy-four, a resident of Marion. He was a curb setter by trade. William Logan Farthing’s wife, Mary Susan Farthing, is seventy-two years of age and lives at Marion. Mrs. Mary Eliza Edwards died in 1902 and is buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery at Marion. She was a graduate of the Marion High School. She had one other child, born in 1902 and died in infancy. Merrill Jennings Edwards was eighteen months of age when his mother died. He grew up in the home of his grandmother Farthing. Poverty was a close companion all during his early childhood. As a boy he displayed an unusual amount of ambi!
tion and energy, and began work before he had completed the course of the common schools. At the age of fourteen he was selling Marion newspapers on the streets and putting in other time as porter in Johnson’s Barber Shop. When he was fifteen he built himself a two-chair shoe shining stand, calling it the “Boston Slicker,” located in an alley on the north side of the public square. From that he took a job in H. W. Snyder’s Grocery Store at $3.50 a week. After a time Mr. Snyder suggested that the youth of sixteen buy out the establishment. Edwards possessed only three dollars in cash, so that the proposition seemed completely beyond him. Mr. Snyder, however, was serious in the matter, and later proposed that his clerk should take over the business, valued at $575, on an agreement that the new owner should pay him ten dollars a week. In his way Jack Edwards became a Marion merchant, and he handled the business with such energy and ability and sh!
owed such faithfulness in meeting his obligations that every week ten dollars of the income went to pay Mr. Snyder and at the end of fifty-seven and a half weeks he was sole owner of the business. As a grocery merchant Mr. Edwards realized the deficiencies of his education, and he put in all the time he could spare attending school. There were other talents that came out and were developed during this period. He played in the Boys Marine Band and in. Love’s Orchestra. About the time he was eighteen years of age he took up boxing as a sport and pastime. His cleverness with the gloves seemed to give promise of a career as a prizefighter and he began serious training under the direction of Barney Sullivan, a former sparing partner of Jim Corbett. After six months Mr. Edwards had his first professional fight, with Louie Abel, as a bantam eight. This event was held at the Eagle Theater in Wabash and his share of the purse was ten dollars. For two years he continued fighti!
ng, during the course of that time meeting Bud Taylor, who later became the bantam champion. His career in the ring was terminated as the result of a severe automobile accident in 1922. During the next seventeen months he was unable to do any kind of physical work. He had continued the ownership of his grocery business and in 1923 returned to his store as active manager. In June, 1924, he sold his grocery store and for several months was engaged in boxing promotion at Marion. Since November, 1924, Mr. Edwards has made an outstanding record in the insurance field. He took up that line of work as a salesman for the Quigley Insurance Agency of Marion and six months later opened an office of his own, handling fire, life and casualty insurance for several large companies. Mr. Edwards has all those engaging qualities that make for popularity and leadership. For several years he has been popular in amateur theatricals, and has frequently played female as well as male !
characters. It was almost inevitable that he should be drawn into politics. He is a Democrat, and at the age of eighteen was made a precinct committeeman and in 1924 became secretary of the Democratic county committee. He was first a candidate for office in 1925, when he ran for city clerk. Later 3,400 of his friends organized the Jack Edwards for Mayor Club, and it was this organization of loyal friends rather than on a partisan basis that he was nominated and elected mayor of the City of Marion by a substantial majority over the former mayor. As head of the city government he is continuing his reputation in his fearless and energetic handling of community work and responsibilities. He is a member of the board of directors of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and since 1928 has been treasurer of that organization. He is a popular member of the B. P. 0. Elks, Fraternal Order of Eagles and Loyal Order of Moose and is active in the First Christian Church, having been vice preside!
nt and treasurer of the Church Brotherhood, for two years was treasurer of the Boxell Booster department of the church and has also been a leader in Boy Scout work, serving two years as assistant master of the local scouts and as a member of the executive board. Mr. Edwards married, September 1, 1923, Miss Minnie Catherine Quinn at St. Joseph, Michigan. She is a daughter of William Quinn, of Marion.

Thomas Bradford Sr. owned a farm he calleSugarland Plantation when he died in 1823 in Daviess County, Indiana. His Last Will and Testament is on file at the Courthouse in Washington, In. He left more than 500 acres to his eight living children most of whom are buried in Old Sugarland Cemetery north of town. I want to find out how Thomas acquired the land. I've looked through the LDS microfilm at the Daviess County land records and can't find anything. I've also checked with the Indiana State Library Land Records Dept. They don't have record. I'm hoping it's on file at the Vincennes Land Office. Does anyone have acesss to those records? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

The only Catherine Jett that I have in my records is a Catherine Jett who married William Foster 5 August, 1850 in Gibson co IN (from Indiana State Library Marriages before 1850).
Use this URL to locate online records:
http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/indiana/genealogy/mirr.html
I should confess that I am not actually researching JETT, but an looking for LETT, and hoping that at least som eof the records for folks named Jett refer to some of my lost LETT folks.
I do keep tack of anyone I find named Jett or Sett as well as those named Lett, as I have found that there is some crossover of the records, depending of how the original maker of the record wrote their capital letters (and how the transcribers have interpreted them).
Wish I could help you more....I would really love to see a scan of those Jett families in the 2850 census. Do you have a scanner?

PETER N. HOOVER, M. D. During the long period of nearly fifty years Doctor Hoover has been engaged in the practice of his profession in his native State of Indiana, and these years have been marked by faithful, able and loyal ministration in the alleviation of human suffering and distress. The Doctor now has precedence as the oldest practicing physician and surgeon in years of continuous service in the City of Boonville, judicial center of Warrick County, where he has been established in successful general practice since the year 1884 and where his personal and professional popularity is of unqualified order. Doctor Hoover was born in Pike County, Indiana, September 20, 1851, and is a son of Abraham and Mary Sanders (Garwood) Hoover, the former of whom was born in Daviess County, this state, and the latter in Kentucky. The parents of Abraham Hoover came to Indiana from their native State of Pennsylvania and were numbered among the pioneer settlers in Daviess County. Ab!
raham Hoover was long numbered among the substantial farmers and honored citizens of Pike County and there he and his wife continued to maintain their home until their death, their children having been ten in number and all having attained to maturity. Susan R., eldest of the children, became the wife of James Deffendall, a farmer in Pike County, and she was eighty years of age at the time of her death. John W., who died at the age of fifty-four years, was a farmer in Pike County. Jesse B. passed his active life as a farmer in Pike County and died at the age of seventy-five years. Barbara Jane became the wife of David Jenkins, a farmer in Pike County and later in Missouri, and in the latter state she died, at the age of sixty years. William became a gallant young soldier of the Union in the Civil war, was captured by the enemy and was incarcerated in a Confederate prison at the time of his death, when he was but twenty-one years of age. Frank, who gave prolonged service as a!
teacher in the Indiana public schools, is now living retired in Topeka, Kansas, and is eighty-six years of age at the time of this writing. Elizabeth became the wife of Thomas Harper, a blacksmith, and was forty-five years of age at the time of her death. Dr. Peter N., of this review, was next in order of birth. Mary S. became the wife of John B. Blaze, a farmer in Pike County, and died at the age of forty-eight years. Sally J. is the widow of Scott Harvey, a Pike County farmer, and she celebrated her seventy-third birthday anniversary on April 23, 1931. Dr. Peter N. Hoover was reared to the sturdy discipline of the home farm and in his youth he supplemented the training of the common schools of his native county by attending Oakland Seminary. In preparation for the profession in which he has given many years of earnest and devoted service he repaired to the metropolis of Kentucky and completed a course in the Kentucky School of Medicine, in which he was graduated as a memb!
er of the class of 1881. Since thus receiving his degree of Doctor of Medicine he has, by continued study and broad and varied practical experience, kept in line with the advances made in medical and surgical science, and in 1893 he did constructive postgraduate work in the City of Philadelphia. Doctor Hoover was engaged in practice in Pike County during the first three years of his professional endeavors, and since 1884 he has maintained his home at Boonville, Warrick County, and made his ministrations count largely in communal service, his practice having long been one of substantial and representative order and he having status as the revered family physician to many of the leading families of Boonville and vicinity, where he has ministered to the second and third generations in many instances. Doctor Hoover is a veteran and honored member of the Warrick County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Society, as well as the American Medical Society. Loyal and libera!
l as a citizen and well fortified in his convictions relative to economic and governmental policies, Doctor Hoover is found staunchly arrayed in the ranks of the Republican Party. He and his wife are zealous members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In the Masonic fraternity he has received the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite, besides being a Noble of Hadi Temple of the Mystic Shrine, in the City of Evansville and also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In the World war period he served as a member of the enlistment examining board of Warrick County and was otherwise influential in local patriotic activities. In Pike County, on the 2d of May, 1878, was solemnized the marriage of Doctor Hoover to Miss Mary E. Barrett, who likewise was born and reared in that county, where her father was a prosperous farmer. Mrs. Hoover is a daughter of the late Daniel C. and Martha (Wiggs) Barrett, the former of whom was born in Indiana and t!
he latter in Kentucky. Individual paragraphs that follow give record concerning each of the children of Doctor and Mrs. Hoover. J. Guy, who was born February 4, 1879, is a skilled and popular physician and surgeon and is associated with his father in practice at Boonville, with standing as one of the able and popular physicians of this county. Like his father, to whom he is a valued professional coadjutor, he is a Republican in politics and affiliated with both York and Scottish Rite bodies of the Masonic fraternity, as well as Hadi Temple of the Mystic Shrine. He married Miss Ada Bowen, whose father is a railroad engineer, Charles J. Brown, and who was likewise born and reared in Indiana. Her marriage to Doctor Hoover occurred August 22, 1906, and their children are six in number: Peter Bowen, who was born July 28, 1907, is a graduate of Indiana Medical College in the class of 1930, with the M. D. degree, and is now serving his internship in Parkland Hospita!
l at Dallas, Texas; John Clark, who was born January 13, 1909, is taking a pre-medical course in the Indiana University; Mary Ann, who was born August 24, 1911, was graduated in the Boonville High School as a member of the class of 1929; Elizabeth Jane, born August 23, 1913, and Ada Emily, born September 19, 1914, are students in the home high school; and J Guy Jr., is a seventh-grade pupil in the Boonville schools, his birth having occurred February 14, 1919. Florence, who was born in May, 1881, is the wife of Herbert Orr, who is in Government employ in Washington, D. C., and they have two children, Barrett R. and Mary Jane, aged respectively twenty-five and twenty-three years. Nola, who was born December 25, 1885, is the wife of Dr. Chester C. Ferguson, who is a dentist by profession and established in successful practice at Boonville, the three children of this union being Elizabeth, aged twenty-four years; Margaret, aged twenty-one years; and Charles, age!
d nineteen years. Elizabeth, born October 2, 1887, is the wife of Phelps Hopkins, who is a traveling commercial salesman, and they reside in Miami, Florida, their children being Hoover, aged twenty-two years; Frances, aged twenty-one years; and Mary Barrett, aged eighteen years. Esther, who was born October 30, 1890, is the widow of Henry Lewis, who was a druggist at Boonville, and she resides at Miami Florida, no children having been born of her marriage. Mary, youngest of the children, was born in March, 1893, is the wife of William C. Erler, who is a contractor and builder, and their one child is a winsome daughter, Mary Hoover, three years of age.
