Subject : [INDEKALB-L] Looking for grandparents/siblings--County in

Hi Dick,
Here is what I found. (I hope this doesn't get scrambled too much in the
sending!)
In the 1870 DeKalb County, Indiana Census the information is as follows:
Union Twp. DeKalb Co. Roll # 593_309 pg. 416 Post Office: Auburn, IN
Harris, Morgan Head of Household age 42 Occup: Farm Laborer Born: Ohio
Eliza wife age 40 Occup: House Keeping
Born: Ohio
Henry son age 16 born: Indiana

house: wife, born in IN, father born in Ohio, mother in IN
James A. age 7 relation to head: son born in IN

Isaac age 6 mo (?) son born in IN
for documentation of Franklin and Clara's daughters birth, check these two
places:
DeKalb County Indian Index to Birth Records 1882-1920 Inclusive, Letters A-Z
Inclusive.
I haven't done research in DeKalb Co. for a year or two. (I live out of
state) If this reference below is not correct please let us know! I don't
know how access to records have changed since the genealogy center opened.
The DeKalb County Health Department book H1 page 143
I hope this helps. If I can help you any other way, let me know.
Yours in Christ,

I am searching for my elusive HARRIS & CRAWFORD lines in IN..
Benjamin Franklin Harris was b in OH 1857.
He always went by name of FRANKLIN HARRIS ,even on his marriage license to
CLARA CRAWFORD in 1879. This marriage was in the adjoining Allen County.
Clare
Crawford was b DeKalb county in 1860-61.
FRANKLIN HARRIS is found on the 1860 census in DEKALB COUNTY at age 2 1/2
-3.
This particular on line image is very poor & virtually unreadable in part.
I am wanting to find a readable copy of 1860 census or have a lookup.
It appears that his parents listed on the 1860 census is a Morgan Harris &
Elizabeth Harris?? Again, an unclear image.Looking for list of Harris
Families
on 1860/1870 census.
According to DeKalb website births, CLARE CRAWFORD HARRIS gave birth to a
baby girl in DeKalb County in 1884.
Looking for any proof/documentation of this.
Any info on this HARRIS/CRAWFORD line in DeKalb County will be most
appreciated.
Dick Harris Thank You.
