Hello Listers, I am new to this list and very new to Indiana research,
so I hope someone will be kind enough to help me out a bit. First, just
where is Harrison County? I looked on my rather old map and couldn't
find it. I rather suspect it is in southern Indiana, right?
My research has brought me to Indiana, because I just received an
obituary which the following information on my husbands family----. The
following is from the Clark Co. News (Clark Co. MO. 3 Oct 1907):
Thomas J. BURKETT, was born in Harrison County, Ind., May 11 1829, came
to MO. in 1858. United in marriage to Minerva J. ANDERSON, Feb. 26,
1860. Nine children were born but only six survived him, William,
Geoge, Marion, Ellen, Minerva and Mrs. Bertie Smith. If anyone has any
information about this family, or what resources there may be in
Harrison Co. or Indiana, I would be so grateful. I am interested in
finding Thomas' parents, actual birthplace (city, town village etc) and
siblings. Thank you so much for your time. Margaret in NV
