History of Lawrence County, Indiana
Transcribed passages are from the following book History of Lawrence and Monroe Counties
Indiana 1914 B. F. Bowen & Co. Inc. Indianapolis, Indiana
INDIAN CREEK TOWNSHIP
Indian creek township is the center one of the three which form the western border of
Lawrence county. The name is taken from the creek that enters at the northwest corner,
leaving near the southwest corner. Saltcreek and the East fork of White river form the
eastern and southern bound aries. The township is one of the original five, and now is
much smaller than at first.
A few of the men who entered land in this township during the days up until 1820 were:
Henry Speed. John Towell, Simon Ruebottom, Benjamin Beeson, Silas Dixon, Jonathan Lindley,
Ephraim Lee, Isaac Williams,Joseph Richardson, Seymour Cobb, Archibald Wood, Felter
Hughes, James Garton, David Sears, Jesse Towell and Peyton Wilson, in 1816; David Ribelin,
James Duncan. Adam Siler. John Duncan, John Cloud, John Roberts,Reuben Short, Jeremiah
Boone, Elijah Boone,...
Elijah Boone is enumerated in Lawrence Co., Indiana in 1920 and 1930 but can be found in
Greene Co., Indiana in 1940 where he remaind with his wife (Jennie Waggoner) until their
deaths, her in Mar 1845 and his on 2 Aug 1845. It is undetermined (at least by me)
whether they are buried in Greene County or in the Boone Cemetery in Lawrence County.
I do have a bit more info on their 10 children if, in fact, this is the Elijah Boone
you're looking for.
This Elijah would be my 3rd Great Granduncle, the son of Jeremiah and Joice (Neville)
Boone and was born 5 May 1790 in Lincoln Co., Kentucky
