Jami,
I have records of the marriages of Mary Mansfield to her four husbands somewhere in my files, but cannot find them at the moment. But the marriages support the census records as shown below. She married Edington first, then George W. Jackson whom she divorced, then Mansfield Crow who abandoned her or she divorced or whatever, then Lewis Pugh.
The 1860 census, Center Twp, Greene Co IN, has the following:
George W. Jackson, age 33, b. IN
Mary Jackson, age 29, born Pen?
Catharine Jackson, age 10, B. IN
Kizziah Jackson, 8, born IN
Elizabeth Jackson, 5, born IN
Martha Jackson, 2, born IN
John W. Edington, 12, b. IN
Francis M. Edington, 9, b. IN
Ladelia A.Edington, 5, b. IN
Martha E. Edington, 2, b. IN
In 1850 Greene co IN census, George Jackson, age 23, wife Lucy, age 19, with daughter, Catherine, age 1. I think all of the first group of Jackson children in the above census might be Lucy's, not Mary's.
The 1870 census, Jackston Township, Greene County, Indiana, 28 day of August, 1870, shows the following:
Mary Crow, age 39, born Ohio, cannot read/write
Loddia Edington, age 15, born Indiana, cannot write
Martha E. Edington, age 12, born Indiana, attended school
Lucy A. Jackson, age 9, born Indiana, attended school
Charlotte Crow, age 6, born Indiana
Ida M. Crow, age 3, born Indiana
In 1880 census, Dubois Co IN:
Lewis Pugh, age 70, b. PA
Mary Pugh, age 49, b. IN
Charlotte Pugh, daughter, age 16, b. IN
Ida Pugh, daugter, age 14, b. IN
Laura Belle Pugh, daughter, age 10, b. IN
I have a record of Charlotte Crow marrying Theodore S. Thompson in Gibson Co IN in 1888.
and Ida Crow marrying William M. Keller, 1887, Delaware Co IN. I'm not positive these are Mary Pugh's daughters, but they would both be in early 20's so of marrying age in 1887/8.
Hope this helps put the puzzle pieces together a bit.
Linda

for jrdavis, please give a date for Martha Edington (birth and death) and could you give her husband's name? Many, many people are searching the Edington family. Also, the Brock surname appears not only in Lawrence county, but also in Martin county and Greene county because most families had to settle near water and Indian Creek flows through all those, including Monroe county! First it is good to find the family member who was a revolutionary war vet who received enough money to buy land in Indiana and then it flows from there.

I don't think its the same family. My Brock's came from Tennessee. The only one I really have data on is my grandmother Roena Brock whose father was Newell Brock whose father was David Brock who migrated with his family to Lawrence County, Indiana sometime in the 1830's. Should you think otherwise, get back with me.

Martha E. Edington Inman was my gg-grandmother. My grandmother, (b 1920 and still living) remembers her. She said Martha was "strange" because she insisted that she should be buried near her youngest son, Forest, and not with her husband Norvil Inman. I'd be glad to share more information on this line of the Edington family. I have found the posts to this line very interesting--among the most interesting I can add to my family story.

Michael, thank you for the interesting information about the Walker family. In the letter I mentioned earlier, Elizabeth Walker Howard started her letter with this: Springvill L.C. Nov. 19th 1851. Her father Benjamin Walker was indeed born in 11753 in colonial MD. He migrated to Rowan Co. NC living there in 1790. THere his son George W. married Margaret Ann Cheshire on Oct.9, 1817.ELizabeth had married Jonathon Howard in Surry Co. NC and moved to Lawrence Co. IN at Springvill. George and Margaret followed them but settled in Spenser Co near Rockport. There on Sep. 27, 1827 near Butler Place, my great-great grandmother Rebecca Jane was born. In 1830 George moved his family to Casey Creek,KY. wgere they raised their 6 children. Then I found Benjamin bought 179 acres on Mill Creek. It was signed Benjamin Burch Walker paying $447.
I'm amazed that Jesse Walker is listed as you say a minister. I haave a copy of a letter Jesse wrote to his brother George, "State of Indiana, April 27, 1855....after telling of their father's death on 23 Apr 1851.."religion is flurishing in some parts of our land. we have a meeting house in our neighbourhood and 81 members and my name is-Lord reive they work. If I could see you all I could talk a grate deal but we are not and let this suffise for the presant. I must conclude by rickamendingyou to god and his grace ass time is short and the meeting is to commence at 9 o'clock and I must be off. I remain your ever loving brother and famly till death". Interesting misspellings. Their brother Aquilla also lived in Indiana and is spoken of often in these 10 old letters dated 1841 to 1881. The surnames are my ancestors. Thank you Michael for all this information. Shirley Harris

Father Griffin Cemetery
Springville
Springville, Indiana
Springville was a small town that existed from 1798-1811. It was named for the springs in the area that provided a good fresh water supply. A Frenchman had established a trading post at the site in 1799, Indians called it Tullytown due to the prominent trader Charles Tully. At its peak it had 100 residents. When Clark County was established, Springville was named the county seat on April 7, 1801. On June 9, 1802 the county seat was moved to Jeffersonville, starting the demise of Springville. In 1808 Charlestown was established a mile northeast of Springville, and was seen as a preferable town to live in as Springville was considered decadent, due to how Indians would become drunk after trading at Springville. Also, there were several disputes about ownership in the town that went for eight years and created several court trials. Springville could not handle the competition for residents with Charlestown and by 1812 was no more. Nothing but a historical marker marks where it !
was today.
Jonathan Jennings made whiskey and had a mill at Springville during his brief residence.
Even through the village hasn't existed since 1811, websites still offer to find places of business near Springville, as if it still exists where it was located two hundred years ago.
It was at 38.428ºN, 85.687ºW
There are Springvilles still in existance in LaPorte County and Lawrence County, although both have fewer residents than Clark County's at its peak.

Thanks for the kudos, Shirley. Since I've been doing my genealogy, I'm hard pressed to find a mor friendly or helpful bunch of people except maybe the Baptists at a sunday luncheon.
I did a little poking and found the following info in the Goodspeeds...
Page 207
"On the 9th of August,. 1821, Rev. Hugh Barnes married Isaac Jackson and Elizabeth Griffith. On the 25th of October, 1821, Edmund Jean, Justice of the Peace, married David Smith and Mary Bryson. Phillip Silver and Sarah Lindley were married on the 10th of January, 1822, by John B. Kelshaw, Justice of the Peace. John Fires and Patsey Craig were married by Mr. Jean on the 19th of May, 1822. Eli Duncan and Rebecca Stephenson were married
by William Clark, Justice of the Peace, in July, 1822. Other early
weddings were Payton Owen and Rachel Griffith, Richird Wall and
Mary Dyer, Herbert Sanders and Jessie Jessup, Samuel Dyer and Celia Arney, Aquilla Walker and Elizabeth Dyer, William Foley and Jane Osborn, Ira Danley and Olive Jessup, Joseph Smith and Sallie Jessup, William Eaey and Sally Stanley, John Stanley and Mary Ball, Abram Shoemaker and Maria Morris, Obediah Winters and Hannah Duncan, Thomas Huey and Yasta Steward, Joshua Duncan and Maria Shoemaker, William Smith and Mary McKee."
Page 300
" MILLING ENTERPRISES.
Among the early mills, or “ corn-crackers,” were those of Dr. Snyder and Samuel Jewell. The one owned by the former was an old-fashioned tub mill, located on Musquito Branch. It had a capacity of about three bushels per day, one-eighth being taken for toll, and from Dr. Snyder’s hands it passed into the possession of George Walker, and finally into decay."
and from Sullivan County on page 620
"And when the town was almost a wilderness, with scarcely one hundred inhabitants, under the superintendence of the Rev. James B. Williams a good frame church was erected on the west side of the public square in 1846. This good work was performed by a few of the pioneer fathers of civilization and of Methodism-such as Jordan Peter, who came to this vicinity in 1818; Solomon Walls, who came to this vicinity in 1819; M. E. Chace, Reuben Crapo, et aZ., a little later. These and a few others, by their own personal labors, did most of the work in building said church. Reuben Crapo furnished all the hewed timbers, the balance of the lumber sawed almost entirely by hand with the Whip-saw, then the most of the carpenter work was done by themselves, led by their pastor. Prior to this the little band had been worshiping in private houses, and in the County Seminary. On the completion of this house began a new era in Methodism in Sullivan County, and especialy in the town of Sullivan. !
Father Chace had organized the first Sunday school in the town in the seminary, consisting of six white and two colored scholars, The society then numbered about twenty-five members. From that time to the present the church has had a steady growth, with but little internal discord or external strife. Many strong and true men and women have fought in her ranks; have helped her to gain victories; have laid down their armor and taken their harps and crowns and are shouting on the hosts of the church militant to greater deeds of triumph, and greater victories over sin and Satan. The following are some of the ministers who have served this church 88 pastors during these years of toil and triumph: James R. Williams, Elijah Burroughs, William Stevenson, William Bratton, E. E. Rose, A. W. Shively, A. Wright, 33. W. Bentnn, Jesse Williams, R. B. Spencer, William II. Cornelius, Rev. 0. Fling, J. B. Hamilton, William Erwin, Jesse Walker, John Hanaock, R. L. Cushman, A. Turner, W. Mc!
H. Hester, J. H. Eetcham, William Maginnis,E. Haws, H’. Gilmor
e, F. C. Igleheart,
W. P. Armstrong, W. E. Davis, R. B. Martin, J. A. Ward, and the present pastor, John S. Scamahorn."
I checked a couple of sites and found some intriguing bits and pieces at www.gencircles.com. From what I can find there, Benjamin was from Maryland and born about 1753. You'll want to explore this site and perhaps contact the posters directly. I'm not certain about the info I gave you from Goodspeeds, but it seems to tie in rather nicely.
Good luck. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

Michael, what a nice thing to do for people. Thank you. I've planned a couple of trips to Greene County, IN, but had to cancel. If you ever come across burials in Old Father Griffin Cemetery at the mouth of the Eel River, will you please look for Benjamin Walker and his wife. All I know is that her first name was Frances. This info was in a letter written by Benjamin's daughter, Elizabeth Walker Howard (husband Jonathan, a carder. In her letter to her brothers, George W.,Jesse and Aquilla Walker in KY, she told of their father's death on Apr 15, 1851 and where she had buried him. He was in his 98th year. He is my 4th great-grandfather.
Thanks again for any info.

I am at a loss as far as Mahala is concerned, and as I said before, I don't know about Hannah, she could very well have been their child. In the 1860 Highland, Greene, IN census, it shows her as a 3 year old and I would think that could be in the range of Jere's and Louisa's marriage. These dates are not proven, just a figure according to their age, and the date for Mahala is within that marriage also. In my opinion, I thnk they are both Jere's.

Did they have any children between themselves. Mahala is the only child I have recorded for them. Thanks again Sue
