Thanks for the information. I don't have any Burris connection so far, but this gives me a clue to search further. Mary Angeline Quillen's mother was Catherine Fischer from Ohio, and I was hoping Deborah Dobbins might be a relative since she was a witness to the marriage.
Catherine Fischer married Gilgan Schrantz in Ohio. He died in Indiana and she remarried to James Quillen.
Thanks again.

Jo,
Based on the Greene County Online Marriage Records, it appears that the parents of William Jacobs were Wm. & Bettie Jacobs, and that William [younger] was born about 1862 in Indiana.
On Page 4 of index: http://www.bloomfield.lib.in.us/project1/marriage/Marriage070.pdf there is a an entry for William Jacobs & [can't read]'a' Hains, m. Dec 25, 1887 [Book M, Page 352].
On page 6 of the Supplemental Index: http://www.bloomfield.lib.in.us/project1/marriage/Marriage027.pdf there is a corresponding entry for Wm. W. Jacobs, age 25, m. Dec 25, 1887, parents Wm. & Bettie [Book LA, Page 192].
The 1900 Richland Twp., Greene Co. census has Frank/France and Georgia Jacobs enumerated with Lavada Byers. The birth state for the father of Frank/France and Georgia is noted as Indiana.
I was not able to find any death info for either William Jacobs.
The 1880 LDS census transcription has an entry for a William & Elizabeth Jacobs with a son William in Johnson Co., IN that may be the right one:

BTW, to my knowledge, I am not related to this Jacobs line, even though my gg-gf is William Howard Jacobs, b. 1862/1863 in Terre Haute, Vigo Co., IN.

Thanks for your reply. I was hoping to hear from you. We've corresponded before, and I knew if Franklin belonged to the Greene Co. Mullis, you would know it. We already have a closer connection than NC, because your John signed the marriage bond for my James who lived in KY, and James' brothers spent time with John in Rush Co.
I just haven't been able to document whether Franklin is grandson of James or not. He made the 1870 census twice, and was also in Parke County near James, as well as in Hendricks next to James' grandaughter. But since I knew he spent time in Greene County, I thought maybe he was actually one of yours and need to rule that out.
Some descendants of the Mullis in Lawrence County were also in Hendricks County, and all 3 branches lived in Terre Haute at one time. Have you been able to establish what the connection is to the Mullis in Lawrence County? I'll visit your website - thanks for the link. Kathy <kscott(a)kdsi.net>

Looks like this Frank Mullis is not obviously tied to the Greene County Mullis line. I am a descendent of that line and don't have a Frank or Franklin Mullis in my data. My data is online at WorldConnect at: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jacobsdata
I tracked this Frank Mullis back a little using census data.
His family is in Terre Haute, Vigo Co., IN in the 1920 census.
In 1910 he and his family are in Wright Twp., Greene Co., IN. The enumeration indicates this is a second marriage for Frank.
In 1900 he and his family are in Nevins Twp., Vigo Co., IN
In 1870, there is a Franklin Mullis of the right age with a wife, Nancy, in Hendricks Co., IN.
In each of these enumerations, Frank/Franklin has Kentucky listed as a birth state and a birth year of 1850 or 1851. The Greene Co. Mullis line came from NC to Rush Co., IN and then to Greene Co.
If there is a tie to the Greene County Mullis line, it looks like it must be back in North Carolina.

As far as I can make out the union between Mansfield Crow and Mary F. Mansfield resulted in two daughters. Charlotte Crow (b. Mar 1864) and Ida M. Crow (b. Abt. 1867). The marriage date that I have for the couple is April 10, 1866. If your information on his parole in 1866 and the census data stating that Charlotte was born March 1864 are both correct. Isa M. Crow may be the only child from this union. I have not done anything with regard to the Crow girls to date.
Lewis was 61 years old when he married Mary Mansfield on May 5, 1872. She was 41. The only child that I am aware of that could possibly be from that union is Laura Bell Pugh but I have her birth in 1871. Lewis' wife, Mary "Polly" Wright was living with him and the family in the 1870 census. I have not been able to find a death record for her. This casts some doubt as to whether there were any children at all through the union of Lewis and Mary (Mansfield) Wright.
I suppose this sounds kind of cold but these are the facts that I have found to date. Maybe someone out there has better information that they can share regarding the life and times of Mary F. Mansfield. It is extremely important to me because she was my ggg-grandmother and her daughter was my gg-grandmother.
Thank you for all of your help and insight. I do not have any plans for doing much more with Mary F. Mansfield in the near future. I exhausted all of the resources available to me several months ago. I do, however, look forward to hearing from others like yourself who are kind enough to share the information that they have regarding these families.
Again thank you.

Hi, Jeff. I haven't read any of the stories on Mansfield Crow. Years ago a distant relative had sent me info that Arthur Neill was murdered by a jealous lover. I finally became curious about that and did some googling for Arthur Neill/Neal and found the newspaper article about the citizens of Green Co IN who had been imprisoned, so found Mansfield Crow's name as the murderer of Arthur. I had a researcher in Greene Co do the newspaper research and she sent me copies. That's probably about as "factual" as we'll get. No where in the documents does it mention the name of Mansfield's sister -- I looked in the census records and found a couple of young Crow girls who were of an age to have been his sister -- I thought she was probably a teenager, maybe 16 to 18 years of age, but could have been older.
I was amused that the newspaper accounts didn't speak of Mansfield as a "suspect" but as "the murderer of Neal." Reporters in those days told it as it was and din't worry about law suits.
I don't know about the "clandestine" of his taking the Crow girl to MO. Arthur's Uncle William Robert Neill lived in Douglas Co MO, some of his other Neill relatives live in other counties of MO. It was a long trail ride or buggy ride from Greene Co IN to Douglas Co MO. For them to have been gone for several months wouldn't have been an uncommon event -- when people rode those long distances to visit relatives or friends they tended to stay a while. And Arthur had four very young children whose mother had just died -- were they "clandestined" away with him and his lady? Arthur may have wanted to get away after his wife died, may have had every intention to marry this girl so took her to MO to meet and visit with his relatives. Arthur brought the girl back to Greene Co with him -- didn't abandon her along the road -- but apparently his ardor had cooled along that road. One can only wonder what had happened. This is, after all, the sister of a man with a high temper a!
nd violent capabilities who plays loose with the women. Her behavior in MO may have been such that Arthur was disgusted, dis-enamored, with her, brought her back to IN from where she came and wanted no more to do with her. He simply had enough of her, for whatever reason, and left her to "fend for herself" -- I suppose meaning that he didn't marry her or live with her/support her again. I'd love to have been in the court room!
Mary Mansfield had a hard go of it. She had children by Edington, he died, she married George Jackson, had a couple of children by him and divorced him, married Mansfield Crow and had, I believe 2 daughters by him, I figure he abandoned her, then finally married Lewis Pugh and lived with him for many years and they had several children. I do['t know that her story is so very different from many other men and women of the time -- medical care was scarce and imperfect, people died often of ailments/causes that today would be treated with an antibiotic or first aid. If there were children, the widow/widower frequently married very soon thereafter to have someone to help with the children and burdens of life. Still, had to have been hard for her and all those children.
Do you know anything abut the children of Mansfield Crow, what happened to them? I'd like to find descendants. When Mary was married to Lewis, I see Crow's children with them inthe census under the name Pugh.. I expect that being Mansfields children was a stigma -- when the court hearings were going on Mansfield had come before the judge and said he didn't think he could get a fair trial in the county.

Linda,
Thank you for the detailed account of the Mansfield Crow saga. He was of interest to me because my gg-grandfather, Peter Pugh (1854-1945) married Lodelia Edington, Mary Mansfield's daughter. About a year later Peter's father, Lewis Pugh (1811-1882+), married Marry Mansfield, her fourth husband. This is absolutely the spiciest tale that I have come across in my line. Most of my ancestors seemed to be pretty tame, but I guess you never really know. Again, thank you for setting the record straight. Some of the stories out there about Mr. Crow's actions are much more dramatic.

Ah, the sage of Mansfield Crow and Arthur Neill! Yes, indeed, Mansfield was convicted of murdering Arthur and sentenced to life in prison -- then was pardoned.
The story is carried in the Indianapolis IN Daily Sentinel, starting Monday, March 29, 1858. On the previous Sunday (so I supposed Mar 28, 1858, in the small town on Plummer's Creek, Green County, IN, at a Campbellite meeting, Arthur Neal was shot by a man by the name of Crow, the ball entering just below the left breast. It appears, from the circumstances connected with this unfortunate affair, that some eighteen onths since, Neal lost his wife, and that Crow's sister, a few weeks previous to the death of Mrs. Neal. lived at his house. During this time an intimacy was formed between then, and soon after the death of his wife, he clandestinely took her to the State of Missouri. They remained there three or four months, when he brought her back and left her to fend for herself. From this time on, hard feelings existed between the parties. Crow, immediately after killing his victim, fled, and has not as yet been arrested.
A further article in the Worthngton White River Valley Times, Thurs, Apr 1, 1858, said that on Sunday the 21st of March, . . it appears that some weeks since Neal ran off wtih Crow's sister and that he has been living with her since without being legally authorized to do so, which no doubt ncensed her brother against him. On Sunday, Neal rode up to within a short distance of the church, where divine service was being held, and observed several young men jumping or wrestling. He remarked to them that they had better go into the house or he would "thrash" all of them. Crow replied that he coult try him "singlehanded" if he waned to. Whereupon Neal swore that he had whipped Crow and could do it again, and tantalized him about his sister, at the same time dismounting fromhis horse. Crow then drew a pistol and short Neal in the left breast, who, as he fell, cried out, "take him boys, I am a dead man." and never spoke again. The decesased leavs four children. Crow is about s!
ix feet high, sandy complexion, light hair, about 25 years of age, sandy whiskers, and wore a gray overcoat, striped vest, and checkered pants. He has not yet been arrested.
On 8 Apr 1858 tere is a short newspaper article that Mansfield Crow had been arrested a few days since somewhere in Kentucky and brought to Bloomfeld. "We cannot see how they will confine him until Court, as a ten acre field would be just as secure a place as the Greene county jail."
Article 21 Oct 1858, Crow, the man who killed A. H. Neal, passed through this village on Monday last, on his way from the Terre Haute jail, escorted by Sheriff Moss and Judge Claypool. He is a pretty hard looking bird -- has a desperate bad countenance. His trial is to take place some time this week.
Article 28 Oct 1858, Mansfield was tried on Thursday last, in our Circuit Court, for the murder of Arthur H. Neal. The verdict of the jury was that he should be sent to the Penitentiary for life, and on Friday Judge claypool read the sentence to him. It had no effect on him.
I found another newspaper article on the web regarding the history of the prison and Mansfield Crow's name was on the list of citizens of Greene co IN who had gone to prison -- Mansfield was the first to have a life sentence. He had been sent to the State Penitentiary -- I'm thinking in Clark county IN. In 1860 he is on the census and is in prison for murder. He was parolled about 1866 or pardoned -- I don't have those records before me at the moment. Apparently he returned to the Greene Co area, married and left several women, had children. The two or three children, I think 2 girls, were using the Pugh name after Mary married Lewis Pugh.
Of course, you can tell from the information above that Arthur's wife had died, so when he was murdered the four little children were orphans. Their grandfather, James Neill and his wife, Dorcas (Hopper) Neill were granted guardianship of the children about 1858. They are all in Douglas Co MO in the 1860 census. In 1870 Dorcas Neill is back in Greene co (I think Greene) with a couple of her children and two or three of Arthur's children. I think that James Neill died between 1860 and 1870, probably in Douglas Co MO, though he could have returned to IN with Dorcas and died there.
Arthur's daughter Mary Antoinetta (Nettie) was living with a Wheat family in Douglas Co MO in 1870 -- didn't go back to IN with Dorcas -- I think the Neill's and Wheat's were related by marriage in some way. Arthur's daughter Emanine married William C. Banks about 1866 in Ripley co MO, had a son James Arthur Banks in 1867 and must have died in childbirth, as William Banks has remarried to a Sarah by 1870 -- living with William and Sarah in 1870 is young James S. Banks. Arthur;s son Daniel Noble Neill is with Dorcas in 1870, using the name Noble Neill. He married a Louise or Dove Jones and he died at about the age of 32 in Greene Co IN -- about 1881 if I remember. Arthur's son James W. Neill married Sarah Isabelle (Bell) Jackson and lived in Greene Co IN I suppose until he died. He had a son Victor and two or three daughters.
I had wondered if there were descendants of Mansfield Crow and if they knew this story. There was no "jealous lover" as I had been told by another Neill researcher who was descended from James and Dorcas son Washington Blaggrove Neill. She had information from some "old timers" who had passed that ifo on to her. What is your relationship to Mansfield, if any?
