Marti,
Just a note, FYI, in case you may not be aware, there is a
STUCK(E)Y cemetery at the south side of Petersburg, IN on the
west side of Indiana State Road 57. This cemetery may give you
some info on some of your STUCKY relatives. Sorry I cannot be of
further help.
Chawn

Subject: William ALVIS and (Mary) Elizabeth STUCKY
Hello! I am new to this list, so please forgive me if some of
this is a
repeat! I am looking for any information regarding William ALVIS
and his
wife (Mary) Elizabeth STUCKY.
William ALVIS was born about 1820 either in Indiana or Kentucky
and was a
cooper, according to the Davies County 1850 census. My mother's
aunt
(now deceased) said that he and his wife were married 17 Feb
1845, but I
have no confirmation of the date & no location. I also have no
death
information at all!
His wife, (Mary) Elizabeth STUCKY was born in 1820 or 1821 in
Indiana to
Frederick Stucky and Elizabeth Love. {Frederick and Elizabeth
were from
the Petersburgh, IN area & I will be happy to post what
information I
have if anyone is interested.} (Mary) Elizabeth Stucky Alvis
died 27
June 1889 in Patoka. She is supposed to be buried in Oakl Hill
Cemetary
in Patoka, but I wasn't able to find her grave when I visited
there. I
DO have a death certificate for her.
William and (Mary) Elizabeth had 5 children that I know of:
Mary Alvis (who married Benjamin Bishop) b: 21 Sept 1846, d: 27
June 1867
Thomas K or R: b: 1848
John W b: Dec 1849 or Jan 1850
William H. b: about 1858
R.A. (male) b: about Nov 1859
Mary Alvis and Benjamin Bishop are my great-great-grandparents
and I have
a picture of them in their later years.
I can't seem to find other information on William ALVIS & would
appreciate any help anyone can give. Note that William ALVIS
is listed
in the 1850 census for DAVIES County, and the 1860 census for
Patoka,
White River Township, GIBSON County, IN, but that daughter Mary
was born
in Patoka, Gibson County in 1846, according to my mother's aunt.
I
wonder if the family was in Gibson County, moved to Davies, and
then back
to Gibson ... or if Mom's aunt's information is incorrect and
Mary was
actually born in Davies CO?
Thank you for any help you might be able to give! Would love to
hear
from anyone else researching this line.
Marti
