I'm afraid I'm too far away to help directly, but the courthouse will
photocopy
and send it to you--I have found them very friendly, swift, and courteous. I
think it was a dollar for a marriage record (I also sent a stamped,
self-addressed envelope).
The address is:
Thomas H. Franklin
Greene Co. Clerk
P.O. Box 229
Bloomfield, IN 47424
I have also ordered many deeds--for that the address was
Rae Della Cravens
Greene Co. Recorder
Courthouse, P.O. Box 309
Bloomfield, IN 47424
That office was equally friendly and efficient. Photocopies in all cases
seemed to be $1 a page.
Good luck!

Hello!
I am assisting with a one surname study at www.alkire.org/
Harmonas Alkire settled on the South Branch of the Potomac River near
what is now Moorefield, Hardy County West Virginia. He married Lydia
Patton, and obtained a 99 year lease from Lord Fairfax. He farmed. He
reared a family of 6 sons and 6 daughters.
He served as a lieutenant in Lord Dunmore's War and was present at
the defeat of Chief Cornstalk at Chillicothe, OH. Since he was paid at
Romney after the American Revolution had begun, all his descendants may
belong to S. A. R, . N. S. D. A. R. or D. A. C. The family resettled
near Paris, Bourbon County Kentucky, where Harmonas left a will probated
1800. All of his sons and most of his daughters resettled along the
banks of Deer Creek in Pickaway and Madison Counties Ohio. His son,
Michael, had married 6 Jan 1793 in Bourbon County to Dorothy "Dolly"
Phebus. Of their 10 children:
1. John Michael Alkire married Catherine Halstead, lived & died in
Ohio.
2. Nimrod R. Alkire married Anna Baggs
3. Nancy A. Alkire married Elliott Halstead
4. Catherine Alkire married Phineas Cade, then, after he died,
Elloitt Halstead, widower of her sister.
5. Rhuanna Alkire married Alabartus Shriver Halstead.
Of these, the latter four had descendants that settled along Black
Creek from Sandborn through Marco, to Pleasantville. They touched many
local families. If you can supplement my information, I'd love to hear
from you. Thank you.
The following Surnames that are in and around Greene County, are
included. Just go to the large, Ohio, Harmonas Alkire database, and
click on any surname you wish to investigate. I hope you enjoy it! .

Would love to hear from any one who has information on this family.

I completely agree, Bill. I used to buy 'hard copies' of these maps from
USGS sources. Their topographical lines and details almost portray a
picture of an area -- and they contain details of forested vs open or farmed
ground, old virtually abandoned roads and even small cemeteries.
Transposing property boundaries of my gg-gf Clifton McDonald to the USGS
maps is how I first found McDonald-Lewis Cemetery in Center Twp back in
1970, that's when I was beginning research. At my first visit to Greene Co.
IN those many years ago, I easily found and 'walked right up' to the
cemetery of my ancestors. Now, via Internet, we have free access to these
maps for the entire country. Folks can start by going to
http://www.topozone.com if they have any trouble with your link. Another
map source I enjoy is http://terraserver.microsoft.com/default.asp . This
link contains many aerial or satellite photo images which show details of
the ground when enlarging or 'zooming in' -- I have also transposed land
boundaries onto these maps. However, these do not cover the entire US and
Greene Co. IN is excluded as I recall -- but were very interesting for
researching along the Ohio River and in VA-WV areas -- also sw PA.

I'm hoping to find someone researching the JAMES TURPIN line. The only
information I have is that he was b. 1798 KY.....m. ELIZABETH unknown b.
ca1800 VA......I just found information that says that they had 6 children:
NANCY TURPIN b. ca1822 KY
SARAH TURPIN b. ca 1828 KY
ANDREW W. TURPIN b. 1832 KY
ELIZABETH TURPIN b. 1835 KY
LUCINDA TURPIN b. 1837 KY
JOSEPHUS TURPIN b. 1840 KY
I know that this family settled in Greene Co. IN....possibly aftr
1840....as they are listed in the Early Settlers of Greene Co.IN book....but
they are listed there as having 2 children.....MARY ANN b. 1825 KY and SARAH
b.1828 as above?? I am desc. through NANCY TURPIN b. ca1822 KY. I'm
pretty sure that this is the same family.
Would love to hear from anyone who is connected to this line to exchange
any information.
Thanks so much,
N.J.Skinner White
