Please introduce me to Kelly! I have some loose ends in Delaware County too.
The most interesting story I heard recently was that when my
great-grandfather's mother, Lucy Smith Lowry, died in 1847, in Delaware
County, IN, her husband could not handle all of their children alone, so he
gave some of them up for adoption. You sure find out a lot of interesting
things when you work on your family history.

Virginia and Pat (et all),
Thank you. Kelly does do good work! And she only charges a bag of jelly
beans.

Subject: [INDELAWA-L] Success Story
> I just want to share a success story with the list. (Drum roll,
please.)
As some of you may know, I've been searching for the identity
of my gg
grandmother. Armed with only one photo of her as an older woman, a
story
that followed her and came down through the generations, an
intentionally
covered identity and trail created when she was a young woman, and
a lot
of
our fearless leader's help (That would be Kelly), I've
finally confirmed
who
she was.
> She was Mary Jane Stewart, also known as Polly.
> I just want to reiterate that I couldn't have done this without a lot
of
patience and digging on Kelly's part. She's a champ!
> Now, then, I must go find where Mary Jane is buried. Oh,
Kellllly......
