Hello,
I am the new State Coordinator for the Indiana Census Project and would like
to urge each of you to consider transcribing a Census.
I along with about a million other Genealogists would Thank you.
Our Project was started by volunteers of The USGenWeb
Project, to transcribe all of the US Federal Census' and upload them to the
Internet where they will be available in a searchable archive for
all, for FREE.
We provide our volunteer transcribers with either a database
Program, for census years 1850 and 1860, that has been written
exclusively for this Project, or a spreadsheet template for all other
years. Our programmer is writing updates that will eventually include
all other years. For MAC users we have a Coordinator who specializes in
MAC's and she will get you the templates you need.
At this time we are unable to provide our transcribers with a
copy of the census for the county they wish to transcribe. Each of you
must obtain your own copy of the census you sign up for. You will be
volunteering your time to transcribe and you will be volunteering the
acquisition of the census information.
This information can be acquired on CD or in book form.
Please consider helping this worthwhile project.
Best wishes
Sandra

Hi all-
please consider yourselves invited to subscribe to a free genealogy e-zine
I'm launching IN January, titled "Climbing Your Hoosier Family Tree". This
monthly publication will provide new angles for online research, as well as
offline! For more info, or to sign up, please visit
http://members.tripod.com/~Cathleen_H/signup.html

Diane, thank you for 'going out of your way' to help with my order to Greene
County Historical Society, re: publications list at:
http://www.greenecountyin.org/hispub.htm . An e-mail contact for them from
your Greene County web pages should be of help to many in the future.
I had intended to attempt 'stirring up' more discussions at the INGREENE-L
list but have been busy with a lot of interests. Maybe the following will
create interest and discussion: R. Carlyle Buley's "The Old Northwest
Pioneer Period, 1815-1840," as it relates to settlement of southern Indiana,
provides 'a bunch' of interesting info as to what our Greene County
ancestors were likely thinking and doing in those days, and why. For info,
Buley won the Pulitzer Prize for History, in 1950, for his work. Much of
Buley's general information about pioneers' lives can be applied to our
individual families, whether they were located in Greene County during this
time, a nearby area or whether they were still living in an 'eastern' or
'southern' state prior to settlement of Indiana. Northwest Territory was
'the west' in this timeframe although the western frontier was a rapidly
moving target once the Appalachian mountains were crossed.
By copy of this to the list, I am encouraging any serious researcher to
consider Buley's book(s). I was fortunate to find his *two-volume* work
(new condition) for the low price of $12 (+ shipping) a few months ago, at
http://www.bibliofind.com . Another good source for new and used books is
http://www.abebooks.com/ . Buley researched many sources including old
newspapers. Can anyone tell me anything regarding research of Bloomfield
newspapers published *in the 1800's,* i.e. what years are available, have
they been filmed, where located, etc? Info concerning newspaper research in
Bloomington or Terre Haute (or other towns that may have covered Greene
County during the 1800's) will also be appreciated.
Thanks for your help. BTW, I have nothing but history interests concerning
these links.
Neil McDonald
PS - So as not to cause confusion, those who wish to order publications from
the Greene County Historical Society should do so directly to the GCHS, as
explained at the above web page, not to Diane. In her message below, Diane
was simply being kind enough to follow up when I hadn't heard anything from
my GCHS order.

Jim,
Do have any more information on Elanor Ferguson? My line of Ferguson's is
related to Stephen's line of Stalcup's, so wondering if by chance your
Ferguson is related to one of my line as well. The only Eleanor I have was
born in 1807, and isn't even part of line.. LOL
Thanks...

I would like to correct some of the data on the STALCUP family in Mrs. Hugh Owen's 1908 biography of Jacob Bucher; based on additional research and more current publications , including the three volume " STALCUP FAMILY HISTORY "(1986) by Earl E. Jones and Dr. Peter S. Craig's 1993 work " THE 1693 CENSUS OF THE SWEDES ON THE DELAWARE" and published early church records of OLD SWEDES CHURCH, Wilmington, Delaware.
All individuals with the surname STALCUP,STALLCUP,STALLCOP, STAULCUP and other variant spellings descend from the same common ancestor who arrived in the New Sweden Colony -- in present day Delaware -- in 1641. Hence our ancestry is Swedish, not German. The first five generations, through William Stalcop (1741-1819) primarily used the STALCOP spelling; and only with the sixth generation -- that of Isaac Stalcup (1765-1841)-- did the current STALCUP spelling come into use. William Stalcop and several of his brothers migrated to Orange Co.,NC after the death of his father, Peter Stalcop in 1768. He moved on to Sumner Co.,TN in 1796; and it is from there that most of the Stalcups migrating to Greene County, Indiana came. I am including a brief biographical sketch of the 'original immigrant' in this email; and have additional data on thr four lines of the Stalcup family in Greene County, Indiana, from about 1820 on my web site at the address below.
Johan Andersson Stålcop

Volume 1, Number 4 (Fall 1991)
Johan Andersson of Strängnäs, Södermanland, Sweden, was just a young boy of perhaps 13 or 14 when he was hired by Måns Kling to go to New Sweden as a farm hand. He sailed May 3, 1641, from Stockholm aboard the Charitas for Gothenburg, where his ship joined company with the Kalmar Nyckel. The two ships departed for the Colony in July and arrived at Fort Christina November 7,1641. Johan Andersson was soon at work and, with the arrival of Governor Printz in 1643, he became one of the first tobacco planters at Upland (now Chester).
At about the age of 19, Johan Andersson was hired by Governor Printz to be a soldier. With the arrival of Governor Rising in 1654, he was promoted to the position of gunner, an occupation which may have led to his wearing a piece of armor called a breastplate, which probably explains the nickname of "Stälkofta" (steel coat in Swedish) by which he was usually called in Swedish records. During the Dutch invasion in 1655, Johan Sfälkofta was the gunner at Fort Trefaldighet (Trinity) at present New Castle. His nickname soon appeared phonetically in Dutch records as "Staelcop" and later passed into English records as "Stalcop." This last version became the basis for the surnames adopted by all of his descendants (Stallcop, Stallcup, Staulcup, Stalcup).
Under Dutch rule Johan Andersson StåIcop began acquiring land and eventually owned the greater part of the land now occupied by the City of Wilmington. He married Christina Carlsdotter, the daughter of Carl Jönsson. Carl Jönsson and his family, from Letstigen in southeastern Värmland, Sweden, arrived on the Mercurius, the last expedition to the colony, which reached the Delaware River in 1656 after New Sweden had fallen to the Dutch.
Johan Andersson and Christina Carlsdotter established their home only about 400 paces (approximately one-quarter mile) west from Fort Christina. Their seven known children and their approximate year of birth were:
1. Anders (Andrew), born 1656, who married Catharine (parents unknown) and had five children before his death c. 1692.
2. Charles, born 1658 and died, unmarried, in 1692.
3. Daughter (name unknown), born 1660, who was the first wife of Lulof Stedham, and had three children before her death c. 1691. After her death, Lulof Stedham married Catharine, the widow of Andrew Stalcop.
4. John, born 1662, married Annika (daughter of Johan Ericksson). John Stalcop played a large role in the building of Holy Trinity (Old Swedes') Church by providing some of the land (inherited from his father) where the church is built. Later he sold some 250 acres of land to the church for a glebe. John died unexpectedly 1700. He and Annika had four children.
5. Peter, born 1664, married Catharine (daughter of Samuel Petersson). Peter operated a large plantation on Red Clay Creek. He died in 1710, survived by six children. [ Our Greene Co.,Indiana families descend from Peter]
6. Mary, born 1666, married John Hance Steelman. They had at least four children.
7. Jonas, born 1669, was unmarried and apparently died about 1690.
Johan Andersson Stälcop died in 1685 and Christina Carlsdotter died about a decade later. They probably were buried in the Old Swedish Burying Ground near old Fort Christina which later became part of the graveyard of Holy Trinity (Old Swedes') Church. Today their descendants comprise one of the largest single family units in America.

Hello all,
As many of you may know, I've been transcribing biographies from the 1908
set "Biographical Memoirs" for some time and posting them to the Bio board
at the Greene Co. site. This evening, I came across a biography written by
Mrs. Hugh A. Owen that I felt I should share on this list. From reading it,
it's quite obvious that this lady was very much interested in her family's
history and took meticulous care of it. Because it is so detailed and
mentions so many other surnames of our area, I felt it was too good not to
share it with all of you. I hope some of you will find it as interesting as
I did and helpful too. (I only wish some of my families were among those
mentioned! <G>)

Jacob Bucher
By Mrs. Hugh A. Owen
The history of the Bucher family, as far back as information
can be obtained, begins with Henry Bucher, born 1775 and who
lived to be seventy-six years old. He married Catharine Hickman,
who was born in 1776 and lived eighty-eight years.
To Henry and Catharine (Hickman) Bucher were born Michael
(1800-1883), John (1802-1883), Elizabeth (Danner) (1804-1884),
Henry (1806-1884), David (1809-1898), Andrew (1812-1869). John
Bucher, second son of Henry and Catharine Bucher, married Eda
Ann Winkler. The earliest information obtainable in the history
of this branch of the Bucher family is that of Lawrence Winkler
and his wife, Fanny Payne. Lawrence Winkler was born near Morgantown,
Burk county, North Carolina, January 15, 1771. He was married
to Fanny Payne in the year 1795, who was born in Wayne county,
Virginia, November 18, 1775. To this union were born the following
children: Rebecca (Moller) (1795-1887), John (1799-1886), George
(1801-1876), James (1804-1844), Lydia (Hudson) (1806-1878), Mary
(1809-1826), Eda Ann (Bucher) (1812-1893), Jacob (1815-1890),
Enoch (1819-1871). The average of this generation reached
sixty-six years.

(Crail) (1837 -----), Jacob (1840 -----), John B. (1842 -----),
Andrew M. (1849 -----), Mary Ellen (Owen) (1854 -----). Not a death
has occurred in a family of five children, the eldest aged
seventy-one years, a remarkable thing to be able to say. The native
state of this family of children is Ohio. The family moved from that
state to Indiana in 1857 and settled at the old Bucher home near
Liberty church in Highland township, Greene county.
Jacob Bucher, eldest son of John and Eda Ann Bucher, married Mary
Clay Stalcup, December 24, 1865. The earliest record of this branch
of the family is that of William Stalcup, the name of whose wife is
not known. To them were born six sons; Peter, William, Isaac, Hon. John,
Samuel and Eli. Isaac, the third son married Miss Osborn. To them were
born twelve children, James, Alfred, Isaac, Benjamin, Joh, L., Susan,
Rebecca, Elizabeth, Nancy, Polly and Margaret. James, the eldest child,
was born August 22, 1786. He married Margaret Marlin, born December 17,
1795, on the 6th day of September, 1812. James was of German descent
and his wife was Scotch-Irish. She came across the ocean when seven
years old and settled in North Carolina. They moved to Indiana at an
early date and settled in Greene county. To them were born George B.
(1814-1880), Catharine (Ballard) (1815-1897), Isaac (1818-1895),
Elizabeth (Dixon) (1822-1869), Rebecca (Short) (1825-1861), William
(1828-1888), Maria Louisa (Burnam) (1832-1864), Elvira Josephine (Andrews)
(1835 -----).
George B., eldest son, was married to Mary Buckner, August 28, 1834.
The earliest history of this branch of the Bucher family, is that of
Edward Bucher (1784-1861) and his wife, Elizabeth (1788-1854). To them
were born; Jeremiah, Mary, James, Nancy, Louisa and Jonathan.
To George B. Stalcup and Mary (Buckner) Stalcup were born; Nancy
(1840-1845),
Elizabeth (1842-1842), Margaret (1837-1844), Mary Clay (1844 -----),
Edward (1850-1854), Louisa (1848-1850), and Josephine (1855 -----).
To Jacob Bucher and Mary Clay (Stalcup) Bucher were born eight children:
George B. (1867 -----), Arabella (Owen) (1868 -----), John (1870-1872),
Williard M. and Walter G. (1873-1873), Edward P. (1875 -----), Jacob Guy
(1877 -----), Blanch May (Hays) (1883 -----). George B. married Thursia
Heaton (1872-1900), in 1892. To them were born a daughter, Mabel H.
(1895 -----).
Arabella married Hugh A. Owen (1862 -----) in 1902. To them were born a
son, George B. in 1905. Edward P. married Lola Newsom (1880 -----) in 1903.
To them was born a daughter, Helen Frances, in 1906. Jacob Guy married
Arle Owen (1881 -----) in 1905. To them was born a son, Jacob David, in
1907. Blanch May married Wilbur Hays (1882 -----) in 1904. To them a
daughter,
Mary Louise, was born in 1905.
Jacob Bucher enlisted in Company E, Fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry,
November 15, 1861, at the age of twenty-one. He was in the engagement at New
Madrid, Missouri, and at Island No. 10, Shiloh, Corinth, Holly Springs, and
Jackson, Mississippi. His regiment had the honor of planting the first
United
States flag on the state house at Jackson after the war begun. His brother,
John B., was wounded in the battle at Jackson. The subject was also in the
seige of Vicksburg and in all the battles in which his regiment was engaged.
>From this place he marched with his regiment to Chattanooga and Lookout
Mountain,
taking part in all these engagements. From there he went to Missionary Ridge
and Atlanta, Georgia, later making the noted march to the sea, thence
marched
to Raleigh, North Carolina, and was relieved from duty at Wilmington, that
state,
which closed his active service of three years and five months. He was
honorably
discharged April 22, 1865, at Indianapolis, Indiana.
After the war he rented a farm for a number of years and finally bought it,
living there until the present time (1908), in Highland township, Greene
county,
Indiana, where he is influential and highly respected by all.
