This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it.

Surnames in this biography are: BYNUM, Dixson, Burch,

His great-grandfather, William Bynum, was born in North Carolina and came to Indiana and settled in Greene County, Indiana, in 1818, only a few years after Indiana had become one of the states of the Union. Mr. Bynum’s grandfather, Daniel A. Bynum, was born in Indiana and followed the business of meat packing and merchandising. The late William Dallas Bynum was born at Newberry, Indiana, June 26, 1846, and was graduated Bachelor of Arts from Indiana University in 1869. In the same year he was admitted to the bar, and engaged in practice at Washington, Indiana, until 1881, when he moved his home to Indianapolis.

ant public honors. In 1883 he was speaker of the House in the Indiana Legislature. In 1884 he was elected a member of the Forty-ninth Congress, and served in that body for ten years, until the close of the Fifty-third Congress, in 1895. He was one of the most prominent leaders of the Democratic Party until 1896. He opposed the nomination of Bryan and the free silver plank in the platform of that year, and was one of the leaders in the bolt from the regular party organization and took an active part in the Indianapolis convention which resulted in the formation of the gold standard Democratic party of that year, and he was chairman of its national committee from 1896 to 1898. William D. Bynum was appointed by President McKinley a member of the commission to revise the laws of the United States, a work on which he was engaged from 1900 to 1906.

Dixson Hinds Bynum was born at Washington, Indiana, in 1886. He attended schools at Indianapolis, at Washington, D. C., and completed his literary education and took his law work at the Columbian, now the George Washington, University, of Washington. Besides his general course in law he studied comparative jurisprudence and diplomacy. In 1907 Mr. Bynum was appointed an attorney with the interior department in Indian Territory or Oklahoma, but in 1915 returned to Indianapolis and practiced law there until 1918. He served four years as assistant city attorney of Indianapolis, resigning in 1921 to become attorney for the prohibition department of Indiana, a!

Thomas Winter Wilkin was a brother to my ancestor Joseph. I have several pictures of the Thomas Winter Family, as well as a picture with his siblings.
Of course I'd be interested in anything you have related to Eli and his wife, the parents.

Seeking descendants of Enoch G. STONE; b. 1798 at South Carolina, son of Elias and Elizabeth STONE; m. Charity WALLACE 23 Sep 1817 at Daviess county, Indiana; m. Mary CANNON 8 Sep 1832 at Daviess county, Indiana.
Prior to 1850, the U.S. census named only the head of house. Household members were then listed by gender and age groupings. These household members are not necessarily family; they could be hired hands, servants, relatives, etc. Names in parenthesis below in 1830 are only the best guess of the compiler.
In the Indiana 1830 census, Daviess county, page 380 shows one Enoch Stone. The family group consists of one male 30-39, (Enoch); One male each in age groups 0-4 (unknown) and 5-9 (unknown); one female 30-39 (first marriage wife Charity); one female 10-14 (Elizabeth).
1850, Missouri, Perry county, Cape Cinque Homme township, page 73; Enoch G. Stone, 52, farmer, born South Carolina; Mary, 44, b. SC; Elizabeth, 31, b. Indiana; Charity, 20, b. IN; Lydia, 16, b. IN; Lewis, 10, b. Illinois; Henry, 6, b. Missouri; Columbus, 3, b. MO. Listed at the end of the family group is a John Stone, 22, laborer, born Indiana; because this John is not listed within the family group, it is assumed he is a relative, although he could be the same as the 10-14 year old male in the 1840 census.
1860, Missouri, Perry county, St. Marys township, p. 624; Enoch G. Stone, 61, farmer, b. SC; Mary, 55, b. SC; Elizabeth, 40, b. IN; Charity, 36, b. IN; Liddia, 26, b. IN; Lewis, 19, b. Illinois; Henry, 17, b. MO; Columbus, 13, b. MO. At the end of this family group is a John S. Stone, 26, carpenter, b. Indiana, probably related to the family in some way. Also at the end, is G.W. Stone, 18, carpenter, b. Illinois; this is probably a nephew of Enoch, George Washington Stone, born 9 Nov 1841, St. Clair county, Illinois.
1870, Missouri, Perry county, St. Marys township, p. 373; Enoch G. Stone, 62. farmer, b. SC; Mary, 65, b. SC; Lydia, 37, b. IN.
Known children of Enoch G. Stone and Charity Wallace both b. at Indiana were as follows:
i. Elizabeth STONE; b. circa 1819.
ii. Charity STONE; b. circa 1830.
Known children of Enoch G. Stone and Mary Cannon were as follows:
i. Lydia STONE; b. circa 1834 at Indiana.
ii. Lewis STONE; b. circa 1840 at Illinois.
iii. Henry STONE; b. circa 1844 at Missouri.
iv. Columbus STONE; b. circa 1847 at Missouri.

Wilma, When I visited Daviess County two years ago I found probate records for David Bradford, d. 1826 in courthouse records. The records named beneficiaries as John, Elizabeth, Eliza, Francis and Ann. David Bradford witnessed the Will of Thomas Bradford Sr. of Orange County, North Carolina in 1823 in Daviess County. I believe him to be a brother. All we know about Thomas and David is that they went to Indiana in early 1800s from North Carolina. We don't know who their wives or parents were. Maybe this information will help you. Linda

living, and one deceased, and two great grandchildren. He has been as a
father also for quite a number of years to his wife's niece, Cindy
McBURNEY.
He was a master carpenter by trade having followed that skilled craft as
inherited from his German furniture maker ancestors. He followed that
trade until a fall injured him and left him unfit for manual labor.
He recently became a member of the Asbury Memorial Methodist Church. He

He depated this life Saturday, 1:25 AM, July 17, 1943, at his home, 223

numbered even beyond four score years and ten, his mind remainded clear
and active.
After church services, he was interred in the HARRIS family plot in Crown
Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis.

"A FAMILY MEETING"
We are all we have
Father Mother Sisters Brother
Each chair is filled, we're all at home
Tonight let no cold stranger come
It is not often, thus around
Our old familiar hearth were found
So bless then the meeting and the spot
For once let every care be forgot
Let gentle peace assert here forever
And kind affection rule the hour
For we're all here.
Even they, the dead, though dead, so dear
Fond memories to their duty true
Bring back their faded form to view
How life through the mist of years
We now see them as in time long past
>From each to each, kind looks we cast
We hear their words, their smiles behold
They're round us, as they were of old
This may not long of us be said
For soon we too, must join the gathered dead
Then by some other hearth, we shall sit around
Oh, the that wisdom may we know
Which yields a life of peace below
So in this world to follow this
And each repeat these words of bliss
Bless God, we're all here---all here
