Thanks so much for your reply. I have located some additional info: In a letter I found among papers and letters, addressed to the state of IN, John (Henderson)Messer writes: "That when I was a small child my parents separated and my mother (Dorothy Bowan Henderson)placed me ion the Cornelius Orphas Home, in New Albany, IN I was about 6 years of age. When I was approximately 7 years of age I was taken from the above named Orphans Home by Winfield Messer and Sadie Messer. I was reared by Winfield and Sadie Messer but never legally adopted by them, although I have always gone by the name of 'Jack Messer'". I am looking for why Everett and Dorothy Bowan Henderson separated and what ever happened to them. Again thanks for your info. It is helpful, Carolyn

I am researching the Stevens lineage in Boyd county Kentucky and have found a Austin Haywood born in Indiana abt 1860 or 69; connected to my Damron branch of this lineage. Ausin Haywood was the husband of a Mary Damron and owned a hotel in Catlettsburg KY where my great great great grandfather was residing upon his death. Would love to share info. Check Find a Grave for Ausin Haywood in the Stevens Marcum Cemetery; Boyd KY. Thanks Kristina Poole-Stevens

Hi,
I am the current resident of William and Sarah Houpt's house in New Albany. It has been severely neglected over the last four years, but I am carefully restoring it's beauty. If you have any documents or photos of William and Sarah, or early photos of the house, please contact me. Thanks.
