Hi everyone,
Does anyone KNOW how the CARESS ( Peter & Nancy Caress) is related to the
WILLIAMSON family?
( George,Aaron & Emeline and Bland B. WILLIAMSON have connections somehow to
Peter Caress or his wife)
What's Peter Caress's wife's Nancy Maiden name?
Also, Interested in the SHEPERD/CARESS family. It seems the SHEPHERDS & (
Henry
Carress) came from
Shelby Co,KY where my SHEPHERDS are located prior to coming to Greene Co,IN.
Anyone Know where I might locate a researcher in Greene Co,IN and copy the
information concerning
this land suit!!
Greene Co,IN History!
PG 219 The Caris(LF: CARRESS) Land Suit
In 1821 Simon Caris Sr entered several tracts of land in Greene Co, and soon
after some of his
children occupied a part of the lands. The lands were finally abandon and they
were sold for taxes and other
parties took possession of them.
In 1872, more than fifty years after the entry, Simon Caris, Jr and ninety
other heirs of SImon Caris Sr,
living in several different states commenced several actions for the recovery
of these lands. They succeeded
in recovery of all except eighty acres.
