Does anyone know if there are any genealogy
researchers in the Brookville area that a person
could hire for obtaining court records, etc?
Thanks,

I seem to remember that certain of us were to
receive a collection of
GEDCOMs on a CD as part of a Franklin County
meeting. Who is working on
this? Thanks.

I am a relatively new subscriber to this list, so
this is the first I have
heard of this, but I would be happy to make a
donation toward cost of such a
project in exchange for a copy of such a reference
CD. Can someone tell me
more about the project, assuming it is going on?

Fayette, Union and Franklin
Counties, Indiana - 1899: Page 924-926
HENRY P. MATHEWS
This well known citizen of Metamora, Franklin
County, Indiana, was born near
this place, in 1838, being a son of John and Phoebe
(Pond) Mathews. Both
parents were natives of the state of New York. The
father's vocation was
that of a wheelwright, and he also engaged in
chairmaking, an occupation in
which he was engaged at the time of his death and
several years previously.
He was a light horseman in the war of 1812. In 1835
he came to Indiana and
settled in this village. His children were Samuel;
Sarah; Stephen; Emily,
wife of James McKee; Warren V., deceased; Arvilla,
wife of James Lanning;
Mary, wife of Henry Lanning; Eliza, wife of Isaac
Garan, deceased; and Henry
P., our subject. David Pond, the maternal
grandfather of our subject, was a
music-teacher of more than local reputation; Henry
Pond, an uncle, conducted
a tannery for several years. He was a leading
member of the Christian
Church, or Campbellite Church, as it was called at
that time, and was a man
of Godly traits.
Henry P. Mathews began working on a farm when but a
lad, first hiring his
service to a farmer near Oak Forest, Butler
Township, and receiving monthly
compensation. He then worked for his brother in the
same township, until he
enlisted in the army. He enlisted September 23,
1861, and was mustered into
the service October 16, following, as a private in
Company G, Thirty-seventh
Indiana Regiment, under Captain James McCoy and
Colonel George Hazzard for a
period of three years. He was promoted to the rank
of corporal and at
Pumpkin Vine received a musket wound in the left
side of the neck, causing
him permanent injury. He was confined in the field
hospital at Bacon Creek,
Kentucky, for some weeks and was then sent to
Chattanooga. Here he remained
a week, when he was transferred to Nashville, and
after three weeks was sent
to New Albany, where he was discharged, as his term
had expired, October 27,
1864. He was detailed to go to Russellville to
repair the telegraph line
before his discharge. His regiment was a part of
Johnson's division of the
fourteenth Army Corps, Army of the Cumberland, and
took part in the battle
of Stone River Tennessee. December 31, 1862, and
January 2, 1863, in which
the regiment lost one hundred and thirty-one men.
They remained in camp
there until the Chattanooga campaign and had an
engagement at Dug Gap on
September 11, and at Chickamauga eight days later.
The regiment was here
until the following spring and took part in
Sherman's Atlanta campaign, the
battle of Resaca, May 13, Dallas, May 27,
Chattahoochie and other
engagements, and then started on the famous march to
the sea, through the
Carolinas and up to Galveston. After receiving his
discharge he returned
home and again worked by the month on a farm during
that season.
February 6, 1865, he was married to Miss Henrietta,
daughter of Caleb and
Nancy Jones. Caleb Jones spent his early years in
Beaver county,
Pennsylvania, and in 1858 came to Butler Township,
this county. Seven years
later he moved to Ripley County and later to
Lawrence. He was a miller by
trade and followed that business until old age, when
he returned to this
county and spent his declining days with his
daughter,
