Don,
Have you tried to get a copy of his death record (Bk R-16, Pg 45)? You can get a genealogy photocopy of the record which usually, for this time period, will have the parents names, etc. on it as long as the informant knows the information. It would also have as much information about his birth as is known or given by the informant.
Hope this helps.

There is a Gault Cemetery in Taylor Township (Section 4). In Greene County cemetery records (listed in the Greene County Historical Society's 1994 Revised Edition of "Cemeteries of Eastern Greene County, Indiana"), the following information is found:
"This lone grave is NOT typical of the many single graves scattered about the country. Even though this grave has no monument it is still known and decorated.
Gault, Alexander Died 1848
The following information is from Lex and Virginia Combs, who now own the old Gault property (1982). Alexander Gault, an early settler of Taylor Township who owned property in the valley south of Rockwood, was a schoolteacher and surveyor. Mr. Gault is buried a little way south of the Booker Cemetery, on the same ridge. This high ridge on his farm overlooked his valley property on Fly Blow, a beautiful blue stream of water name Fleure Bleu, French for Blue River, which the early settlers mispronounced, saying 'Fly Blow'."
Hope this helps.

Excerpt from Biographical Memoirs of Greene County, Indiana by Henry Baker
Coffins, page 87
"The first raised lid coffin I ever saw was made by my father in 1848 for Alexander Gault, one of our old-time teachers, who gave orders for my father to make his coffin and not to spare any pains or expense. It was of white walnut, and was said to have been the nicest coffin ever made in the neighborhood, or, perhaps in the county, and the cost was six dollars."
Why would Alexander have a coffin made for him unless he knew he was dying?
I am looking for more information on Alexander Sr. He was born in Ohio, a school teacher about 1846-1847 and died in 1848 or 1849. He was married to Francis Sinclair on 25 May 1848 in Greene County, and had a son Alexander Jr born Mar 1849. By Dec 1849 Francis had remarried and moved to Howard County.
Does anyone have a birth date, death date or burial place for Alexander Sr.?
Obit?
Thanks.

Sure you probably have answers to some of these questions by now from cousin Lowell, but Caroline and Lorenzo (Lorenza on the tombstone) are buried at Stafford Cemetery south of Linton. They were my gr-grandparents. My grandfather was their son, Luther Nichols. Thomas and Sarah Headley are buried at the Dugger Cemetary in Dugger, IN. I only recently found out that Caroline was Vienna's daughter, not Sarah's. Also, Lorenzo's father, Harrison Nichols, is buried at the Pleasantville United Methodist Church in Pleasantville. My sisters and I visit these graves on Memorial Day and take flowers. Harrison's wife, Catherine Hite, remarried a Stalcup. Lowell said she is buried there, too, but her stone isn't legible anymore, so I have never found it.
